i left the program, when i was born
to fight my way through it's demented thorns
as time got bought, it was locked in the wall under glass
the tongue slipped, but there's blood on every little word, oh yeah
i ain't a fancy singer, no, no
a self-circling thinker just go, goes
so grab your heart and tear in two with your life
there's mannequins, that begin where your pain and your love dies
i don't want to break all, the comforts we designed
i need to fold myself into a hundred different lines
maybe we could take the parts, that i destroy inside
and build a solid mental shelter from the memories that kill
it don't make you bad to scream in the phone
it don't make me bad to want to be alone
as i get cut from above with a knife in the sky
once upon a dark time, i had a bullet-proof vest on the inside

little black heart of mine
watch you slip on this face for the last time
a dark red hush is coming
i was at a crucial loss
when my true love had climbed out
with any strong emotional pull, it leaves
bad dreams, and sending it home
where my beliefs are all letting go
completely
i grew up in a shallow town
with a dagger swimming around
in language laced with nevers
i was pushed until we fought
in relationships it got lost
divide the missing pieces, all while
it's helping me, to have no control
the boundaries, extinguish my soul
forever
laundry of ill memories
i can feel the background rebuilding
slowly

i remember feeding a tender gloom
locked the gray noise in a destroyed room
and i remember burning the walls of youth
walked the black hand with a cradled tooth
it’s leaking, all my friends are on the outside
they’re sleeping, all my friends are on the outside
a subtle pain sang as i grew tall
shaping the words from the sounds that i caught
saved every page, every photograph stare
then left all my things to the devil’s head
it’s leaking, all my friends are on the outside
they’re sleeping, all my friends are on the outside
and all the pain eventually dies
too soon
breaking the things you love in two
then i heard the dark pianos come through
a cloud you can understand carried me through
a recessed room where the air has died
setting a heart in a little brown bag
it’s leaking, all my friends are on the outside
they’re sleeping, all my friends are on the outside
and all the pain eventually dies
too soon
breaking the things you love in two

Seatbelt

opened fire in a solid home
and you know there's no way to get back
gave desire some room to roam
now a cold, dead note travels over to me
madness lies in love-starved bones
with a gold tongue that's staying quiet
you never meant to let this go
singing low, with dead lips facing the trees
looking past the window shield
you feel a restless regret go
caught in seatbelt fears and love
giving up all hopes of ever driving this thing

a death kiss that split the world, i'm going away
been reaching through a lifeless hand
there's no grace to stand this on, i'm going away
i left the lights in my eyes all the way on
looking past the pain and the fear of a god
trying to fight it's way alive
take my life in your hands
and no thoughts i control
memories defeated, oh, how i left it behind
as november pulls me quietly down
doors of forgiveness are all turning away
to rebuild a heart by the numbers
this truth, is all in the numbers
trying to fight it's way alive
through the pain in your heart
digging down to the soul
