Dear you and nobody listening: never stay between the rode and the ones less traveled

can't believe what belief means to believers anymore

not a hell of a lot.
if i took your head where i wanted it to go
we'd be on the road for days.
no one would ever find us
let's gets married to our inhibitions
we'll never cross the line in the sand if you never draw it
i'd cradle your head, pick you up off the bathroom floor
baby you can't let the booze do this anymore
i've got a glove box full of angry words and trunk full of regrets
but i'd drive it off the nearest cliff if it brought me to you
the crowd doesn't love you when you're off your knees
but i might see potential.
do you know what you're getting into?
if so please let me know
brain is on a strike, can't agree with the heart
if i could fit in a mailbox i'd send myself to you
todays forecast: partly desperate with a chance of redemption
you're a nerd and my head is a comic book convention
you're always on my mind
wish it went both ways

"i can't seem to shake this awful feeling..."

It's late. better than forever i never say. the only things that should tie you down are ropes and states of mind. but this way of thinking involves rings and "i do's." i could die with[out] you. i'll never learn my lesson and you'll never learn your place. what's love got to do with it anyway.

"how do i look?" "like gold."

I can't fucking sleep.
i'm the soundtrack to your right now. but i'm the record you never bought.
tried to make you laugh but i'm the joke you never caught
'the boy with a million problems' is what you could say
but you've gotta be the same goddamn way.
i'd never live it down if you weren't
i'm not exactly him
and i won't ever be
tongues of stone rests on glass jaws[which one will break first]
we could play the field, but neither of us have great arms
so why don't you and i and me and you settle this between sheets?

sink a heart and steal a ship
lovingyouiseasycauseyou'rebeautiful

cats out of the bag, get the box.

so maybe i let one person know about this. it's healthy, right?
it puts me out into fresh air, but i think i'm hanging out to dry.
can't sleep, i'm on this high
it consists of dreaming and sleeping; but just so i can dream of you.
it's corny, but what the hell isn't anymore
i'm the boring conversation, the awkward pause between words.
here's to many more to come[or so one hopes]
i'll keep you a secret if you let me
not a soul will know, even if they test me
but it's all up how you sigh and shrug.
or dodge my eyes when you talk
stuck in america--but who wants to get out

we're out of the woods now, let's burn it to the ground

i'm sure i made an impression
but i know it's always gonna be the wrong one.
i was sure that it didn't graze me
but this heart--it weighs a ton.
we all know how it goes
but we don't know how it ends.
you build yourself up into this gigantic wall
i'm bringing the bulldozers with me this time
they're in the form of secrets and cries for help
ones that you'll never hear.
i guess it's the 'tortured artist' in me
but who's to say i don't torture back.
i'd sure love to leave you hanging once
like this boy, you left him like laundry [wrap your head around that]
i'm cancer in human form
don't get too close to me
i hate the phone, but please call me
i'll talk to you all night long if it gets you beside me.
you can visit me in prison.
cause that's where they wanna send me.
but i won't go down like a sinking ship
i won't go down at all.

you.can't.touch.me.


love,

re: trading moon for sun, actions forwards

with all these cheap words, i've got to be a least a dollar short.
and given the stakes
i'd trade you for the world.
and deal with the opportunity costs.
drowned my self pity
held it's head under water.
now i'm out for blood--or love.
i'm not sure which.
for a sweetheart, you sure taste sour.
i died that night
on the roof of my house with you.
i'm the in the business of selling yourself, business is great.


L-word,

I have a purple heart, but for what it really is. a shade darker than blue.

"in which the sun shines and we learn what happened to the whipping boy, the prince, and everyone else"

i'm the itch in your scar, the crash in your car. and every single word you say adds a bullet to my resume (and sometimes my head).
it's odd how words have a choke hold on me.
street songs sing me to sleep
through highways and streetlights.
get me out of this town.
you look good in a moonlight kind of way.
i'm half past goodbyes at the price of giving in and bowing out(and i wish you were here)
i'm a wreck and hope you are too.


love,

"this is the last time i'm gonna let her do this to me"

i have no fucking clue why i do this.
put my own gun to my own head and sink my own ship.
i beat myself up over you, my insides are bruised
last year it was a toll i couldn't bear to pay
this year, it's no different, except it's your fucking face.
i hate to look at you
but love to think of you
we're making up, and making out [and i'm talking in more ways than one]
and i've got a bet with your car window that says: i love you more than he does.
