If it howls in the night, you walk it. Walks to the edge? You off it. Have something to say? You're a prophet, They like what you say, so you profit. You called for a shrink? Yo, I got this. You're not all there, but you're not sick. Tell me all your problems darling; tell me that the world's been cruel and your starving. I don't mess around with plastic viles with the smiles. Not my style. Ups, downs, baby, I'm monastic I pray to the Gods on the plastic classics. You called? Let it ring, Yo, I got this, feeling I should stay at the apartment, and tell you all my problems, darling; tell you that the world's been cruel and I'm starving. There are a days where that sun won't shine on you, so you set a fire, and you let it burn through. Where you gonna run when the storm hits? I'll be at the eye, smiling wide, in the thick of it. You're missing it, I love a good beating, I revel in it just like a pig in shit. You called for a sign? Yo I got this. We're all fucked up and we're all sick. Learn to love the lows, my darling, you'll be feelin' better in the light from the morning. I don't care. I don't know. I don't talk about them no more. 'Cause you gotta be crazy keepin' the past on the tip of your tongue, under the small of your back, in your pocket. That's where your spine is. The word is “forgotten” That's what you need to be callin' the ones that keep you up at night: “forgotten”

won’t you show me some love? a little bit of sweetness. are you capable? show me that you really need someone.

don't blame it on her she's got to be the only one to put up with me rubber band wrapped round the cash, we desperately need. don't make it worse don't make it bleed sick dog, needs love my everything I'll need a hole to dig someday we'll need to be… alone with nothin' but the television maybe we'll just bury ourselves with him. don't blame it on love it's got to be, right where the furnace used to be feet go cold, turn up the heat, when you're down on me. the world gets smaller at the seams don't make it smaller than it should be drop a knife above a map run away with me… someplace where they don't have no television a place where we haven't grown tired of everyone yet play undercover, take turns being one another's breath don't blame it on me I got the seed but I don't want it I need to eat I need to feed the beast inside of me You talk of days I don't think I'll see I anchored my feet to the beach so when the big one comes it’s taking me to hell with life and our televisions to hell with everyone who says we're meant to stay in one place.

Is this a big mistake, did I just sell myself? I need a plane ticket there goes the sound of the bell. Today I'm tongue and teeth, tomorrow shivering blue. I've got a virgin mouth, but I'll probably die before you. Ding, ding, scrape yourself up for another round, you never been a fighter, but still you fight for something you can't taste, pulling your hair out.

vacation days foreign automobiles, so the kids are safe, leather hands on the wheel. for porcelain plates, beg and borrow and steal. it’s not what you make, but what makes you real. so ain’t it strange to spend all your days watering a seed, just hoping it bears your face? no one complains when the weather is warm must be okay if there’s nothing wrong. it takes a plane, a bomb, or a baby, to wake you up when you’re lost in the lobby. so, why we birth? why we look harder to find a womb to fill with a daughter? or make a son with a girl that’s forever? you met her in high school, said you would die together. you work harder just to get closer but all of the days that you wasted away won’t ever come back, now, will they? we work harder just to get closer but all of the days that we wasted away won’t ever come back, now, will they?

your slang is filler moment in time killer. blank repetition culture cult vanilla my shoulder gorilla elephant creeper our handshake steeper than the stairs to hell's cellar. ‘cause you never did pain You did cartwheels through the rings of fire light him up. original milk spiller but I ain’t your dealer no competition I sussed out your filler you’re my shoulder gorilla the too close creeper I’m a chum, you’re a squealer But I still can’t feel ya’ original milk spiller moment in time killer blank repetition culture cult vanilla my shoulder gorilla elephant creeper our handshake steeper than the stairs to hell’s cellar. 'cause you never did pain you did cartwheels through rings of fire light him up.

You don't speak, the mouth leaks, customer You still look the same to me, customer Used to give it to ya' for nothing, customer Wonderin’ where have you been, customer How you not carrying a gun there, customer I don't want ya' hanging around here, customer Spend it like you mean it, number one customer You nothin' more than customer. Left hand holdin’ a dollar, customer (broke and you're lookin' to borrow, customer) Right hand, name of the father, customer (Don't believe in God but you’re sorry customer) Prayin’ you can ride on the tails now, customer (haven't we already been there, now, customer) You nothin' more than a customer I'm wondering why you've been standing at payphones holding your quarter who would you call anyway? What would you say, holding that pay phone, if it wasn't broken, what would you say to me? Maybe if we had kept it together I could have been king, and you could have stayed the same.

wait, before you shackle yourself again wait, there's a whole lot of road out there. I'll crash and burn before I start to run again. wait, before you shackle yourself again. wait. you lost yourself another friend. 3am dinner in the gutter, curbside super fried, super sized I'm too tired to drive it's the sweet sacrifice, look back on days of glory 23 more hours till I repeat the story. it's 6am drives, jackknifed on the shoulder still high from last night, the miles tend to sober my eyes, stop signs, the miles tend to bore me 23 more hours till I repeat my story I'll crash and burn before I start to run again I'll crash and burn before I start to run again. I'll crash and burn before I start to run again. I won't pick up your call; I’ll stay inside instead.
