back in ohio for gooooooood yaaaaay
Farewell, my dear friend, farewell,
Within my heart you’ll stay,
And as we part, I can foretell
That we shall meet some day.
Without a hand or a word, good-bye,
Don’t mourn for me or grieve--
For it’s not new for us to die,
Not newer still, to live.
All the huskies are eaten. There is no space
Left in the diary, And the beads of quick
Words scatter over his spouse's sepia-shaded face
Adding the date in question like a mole to her lovely cheek.
Next, the snapshot of his sister. He doesn't spare his kin:
What's been reached is the highest possible latitude!
And, like the silk stocking of a burlesque half-nude
Queen, it climbs up his thigh: gangrene.
I am an illusion
a mirage of sorts
a collection of memories scattered on your floor
that you're sifting through slowly tearing up the pictures
how quickly you forgot
how pathetic I remember
your birthday your birthmarks
our first date and dance
our first kiss, the boardwalk walking sometime romance
but now its over
I'm a liar when I say "thank god its over"
It's not like you mean it when you say
"sometime, someday when the stars align, that will be the day"
You're making a mess of me
You've got me on the floor kicking and screaming
like a boy who's lost his mother
a boy who lost control drifts away
day by day I lose it all
As I'm burning in the sun
there blistering to death
when my skin catches fire and turns the deepest shade of red
you'll be watching pale white and cool
and I'll be waiting in hell
hell its all I can do
Sometimes I'm bitter
Sometimes I'm better
Sometimes I'm okay
but mostly I never ever wanna see you again
I never wanna see you again
because it's not like you mean it when you say
"someday sometime when our stars align......."
yeah okay
You're making a mess of me
You've got me on the floor kicking and screaming
like a boy who's lost his mother
a boy who lost control drifts away
day by day I lose it all
I'm losing it all
Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair or someone breakin your heart
For twelve years I've held it all together
but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart
I played it quiet left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would
And now I know I want to kill you
like only a best friend could
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
As if it happening wasn't enough
I got to go and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, covers over my head
Wrote a message on my pillow that says "Jesse, stay asleep in bed"
Don't apologize, I hope you choke and die!
Search your cell for something which to hang yourself
They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to Hell!
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
Everyone's caught on to
and I can't let you let me down again
everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
and I can't let you let me down again
So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield
Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever
Is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
then when your head goes through the windshield
(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...
(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...
just losing all my friends, just losing them to drinking and to driving.
just Losing all my friends, I got ‘em back.
I am not a man, at least now I can say that I am trying
hope you will forget things I still lack.
Yeah, yeah.
Is it in you now to better hear the truth of you have spoken.
Twisting up our names, like a trap for fools
is it in you now to watch the things you gave your life get broken
its stupid baby mouth of one or twos.
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh Yeah.
Nothing gets so bad, a whisper from your father couldn’t fix it.
He whispers like a bridge that’s a rivers spand.
take all that you had and turn it into somethin’ that your missing.
Somebody threw that brick, shattered all your plans.
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground. Takes a world to grow anything.
before its coming to anything yeah. Before you put my body in the cold ground.
take some time and warm it with your hands. Before its coming to winter yeah.
into the ground (come into the ground.)
to the miss sublimed color she left in your black and white
field do you feel them now, just a being there.
I am not your friend, I am just a man who knows how to feel, I am not your friend, Im not your lover, Im not your family.
Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground. Takes a world to grow anything.
before its coming to anything Yeah.
