Discoloration in my touch Like my teeth touched by smoke The rain that I brush off I've been branching out Isn't that enough? When mother calls I'm lying through my teeth I think it's starting to get to me Bring me to my knees Will you remember? I haven't slept in weeks I think it's starting to get to me Bring me to my knees Will you remember me After I've made it and I'm carrying a clipboard Instead of this bracelet? Like a guillotine Glancing at each patient on the way to my cell She feels eyes crawling after her like semen crawling towards her On their bellies, excited tails wagging like dogs and leaving a trail like slugs And they burst apart and they duplicate They riot, they retaliate She makes her way towards me to cure me And take out my belly ache And stick a bowl of cherries in it's place But will this new organ take? Will this new organ take? Or will I come apart like a wedding cake? My barber had a bad day, he was rough with the buzz And now this ringing is weapons grade Next time I'll stick my head inside a fish tank And let the piranhas have their way My father taught me it's ok To be flawed But I've eroded Too far The charm is wearing off I was born to run So I ran off Like my father, Signing off

Like a Bug 03:12
It was a kinda beautiful moment Before I slipped on the ice And pulled my back And now my movement feels tight As I go to hold you tight As I go to hold you tight Dead friends She said please don’t say anything Or I’ll hang up She said I sound just like a bug Inside her head Inside her head I said well, then put a spider there To catch me then She said please don’t say anything Or I’ll hang up She said I sound just like a bug That I am harder than All the drugs She beats her stick against my head Like a drum Til I am dumb Til I am dumb She said I sound like a bug Inside her head Inside her head I said well then put a spider there To catch me then

It feels like Wintertime Wintertime, again Wintertime, again It feels like Wintertime, Wintertime, again Wintertime, again I hung your Painting on my kitchen wall Your paintings on my kitchen wall Your paintings on my kitchen wall and All the lights in my house In my house I took a year to sort it out Inside you could see how it burned Inside you could see how I burned You could pick my house Out of a lineup of all the other Houses Neat little fucking Houses My house Gate hangs off the hinges And the garden is all dried out The shutters don’t shut out much and The shutter don’t shut much out My house Gate hangs off the hinges And the garden is all dried out The shutters don’t shut out much and The shutter don’t shut much out They arranged the patients like Portraits in a museum like A portrait of a patient losing hope while Their family at the bedside loses… They arranged the patients like Portraits in a museum like A portrait of a patient losing hope while Their family at the bedside loses, Cool And that cool feeling of withdrawal as you exit into yourself you Mumble to yourself and Off into the night you close your eyes one last time Close your eyes one last time you Close your eyes one last time Close your eyes one last time you Off into the night you close your eyes just for that last time Out your eyes one last time you That light always burned in you Off into the night eyes Close Turn out the light From behind your own damn eyes That light always burned you know Pretty damn bright A lifetime of burning bright A lifetime of taking that for granted I know you need the sleep I know you need the rest I know you need the sleep I know you need the sleep Pretty damn bright A lifetime of burning bright A lifetime of taking you for granted I know you need the sleep I know you need the sleep Pretty damn bright A lifetime of burning bright A lifetime of taking you for granted I know you need the sleep I know you need the sleep I need you here with me I know you need the sleep I know you need the sleep Like I need you need here With me And I need you need you here with me

The more I build The more I’ve got to lose And I am losing it with you I am losing it with you Call my concussion cuz you can’t speak Like you got no teeth Got no teeth And when you try to talk Your gums bleed Til you’re dizzy And it’s alright Yeah, it’s alright I don’t remember Nothing Except the bleeding and the lovely dinner we had I don’t remember Nothing (nothing) Except the bleeding (bleeding) and the lovely dinner we had Before the blood (Before the blood) Before the blood (Before the blood) Before the blood I don’t remember too much Except the way her voice sounded From the next room (Blood) From the next room 
 I remember far too much I remember far too much That’s why (That’s why) I remember way too much That’s why (That’s why) I remember way too much That’s why I bang my fucking head so much You can call me Chris Benoit and stuff Bang my fucking head so much Call my Chris Benoit and stuff I remember far too much That's why I bang my fucking head so much You can call me Chris Benoit and stuff Bang my fucking head so much

Thaw me out, I hate this place I’ll take all the blame Hold me close, feel no pain I’ll only stop once I get My way She’s going for the Oscar tonight She’s giving it her all I asked if she was doing a bit and she bit down She isn’t making eye contact now Oh, and she’s a bit down Maybe it’s my fault she’s a bit down She isn’t making eye contact now That’s alright I hate making eye contact when we fight Oh, she’s going for the Oscar tonight Giving it her all And I know I’ll play this over and over in my head And I know this will change from one viewing to the next And your face will change, teeth sticking out all over your head And I feel like we could make this better if we could just go to bed (bedbedbedbed) A hairball I can’t cough up These claws I cannot clip A hairball I can’t cough up These claws I cannot clip Why are you listening in?

She said I sound like a bug Inside her head, inside her head She said your voice is like a million deaths Ten million deaths And the price I get The price of my debt Keeps me up all night like bugs in my bed I got a good haircut and I guess I’m ready to die My flesh is warm against the currents that circle me Oh my I remember my father he used to embarrass me (embarrass me) I called his old number today To tell him that If this painting were If this painting were I called his old number today To say “If this painting were significant then It’d be a painting of you” And I said, “If you won’t say anything Then I’ll hang up.”

Beat my fist against my head (Head) (Head) Beat my fist against my chest Oh, I know you count on me Like I count on sheep To sleep (Sleep) (Sleep) To dream Oh, I know you blurred out And you bugged out In the background Of your favourite painting oh And you burnt down And you let down And you blurt out How it hurts now Yeah, it hurts now When you fall down oh And it hurts now as she takes these shots at my face Like I’m the sky and its the start of a race Oh, and it hurts now (It hurts now) How many shots do you think I can take? (Ache) How many shots to the face do you think I can take? Like I’m the sky and it’s the start of a race Count on me like I count on sheep To bring me sleep oh To bring me peace oh Count on me like I count on sheep To bring me sleep oh To bring me peace oh

The more I build The more I’ve got to lose And I am losing it with you I am losing it with you And I am losing it with you I am losing it with you He said, “Matt, get it out of your head” (Head) He said, “Matt, we all look like shit when we are dead” Too true, To many of you We do I loved all of you When I’m gone I will miss this when I’m gone When I’m gone I loved you all along Comatose museum where I saw you last Dreaming of me, perhaps Tell mom all about the spiders Tell mom I didn’t try to hurt her Comatose museum where I saw you last Dreaming of me, perhaps Dreaming of me, perhaps Lightening gold dress painted black Memento like a wedding dress except you die in them You fucking die in them Diving belle and stuttered cry I stutter past, I scuttle by bye bye It clutters my head It hangs around I walk away It drags me down Over the loud speaker Blares the sound you made as you Rattled around (Rattled around) The staircase just kept going down down I walked away I walk away Conifer hands pluck me from the sky Where I spin out and around star struck and denied Bang my head against the stars Left me feeling concussed all alone in the dark Oh and her hands plucked me Conifer hands pluck me from the sky Where I spin out and around star struck and denied Bang my head against the stars Left me feeling concussed all alone in the dark Oh and her hands pluck me Conifer hands pluck me from the sky Where I spin out and around star struck and denied Bang my head against the stars Left me feeling concussed all alone in the dark Oh and her hands pluck me Conifer hands pluck me from the sky Where I spin out and around star struck and denied Bang my head against the stars Left me feeling concussed all alone in the dark Oh and her hands pluck me Conifer hands pluck me
