I don't like leaving. I don't want to. I feel like everything happens when I'm not there.
If that read 'Nothing Was Beautiful, And Everything Hurt' it would be a more fitting epitaph. Hah. What a barrel of joy I am.
i was sick in my mouth when i tasted the blood in yours
you've got papercuts all over your tongue
from licking and stamping all those envelopes
but youre letters are stories for one person only
the way you guide that pen across the page
you might as well be writing my obituary
and i know id be able to read the words
to the rhythm of a tragedy; is it one of the greats
is it samuel beckett's or some obscure post-modern wordsmith
but who gets the last laugh when the laughing's written for you
your inspiration might be complex but youre words are simple;
THIS IS WHY I WANT TO KILL YOU
but it's never that easy though is it?
while youre penning out the finer points of my untimely demise
im constructing my life from the things i find in gift shops
how nice it is to feel nothing
and still get the full credit FOR BEING ALIVE
you spent the next 6 weeks with your little secret
come on im not as fragile as you might think
i might burst out inauspicious tears
but id mop them up myself just give me a sponge and a bucket
and something to dry my face with
maybe if i scrub hard enough ill be more attractive
ill duck tape my tongue to the roof of my mouth
so im reduced to bellowing vowels
and ill just stop talking altogether
let you be so requited in your literacy
i ruined it but to be fair i ruin everything
while youre penning out the finer points of my untimely demise
im constructing my life from the things i find in gift shops
how nice it is to feel nothing
and still get the full credit FOR BEING ALIVE
i'd write you stories back but i'd just be telling lies
id concoct a symphony just to open up your thighs
id take you for all your worth and leave you on the hard shoulder
after being with you i know i shouldve gone for your brother
just one more question, is it my face or yours on the cover
(CAUSE THESE DARK CIRCLES ARENT FOR SHOW)
