she blacks out when she's drunk and she takes the liquor straight
she's got friends in the business that can get you cheap cocaine
she doesn't wanna leave so she never takes a break
just take her for a ride and you'll never be the same
she stays out at the party until there's blood on the walls
if you give her fifty dollars you can fuck in the stalls
she'll pass out on your couch and wake up in her bed
she's got coke in her blood and a gun to her head

would there still be makeup on your dead body
would there be hope left in your eyes
would there be flowers placed on your gravestone
would anybody by surprised
birds fear death but i don't

she walked in with a fake id and a bottle of pills for her anxiety
i heard her talk about her body count
tried to start a conversation i don't know what about
her eyes are brighter than the fire she carries
you can see the burns on the clothes she's wearing
and it made me hope that i could take things slow
but she gets so high that she speaks in smoke

bloody nose

kneel over the glass with a straw in your nose
they heard the shots outside so you're laying low
and you're scared at how low they'll go
and what they'll do for a gram of your blow
you're skipping town and skipping class
and scraping up the broken glass
fake romance to break a half
then sell her off to save your ass
missed connections that you keep
like best friends on your tv screen
bridges burned with gasoline
and im just trying to come clean
keep buying coke
make you girlfriend pay
walk home with a bloody nose at the end of the day
know who's bed you'll wake up in today
now im stoned on the side of the road
and you're paying him with change
high school fights that you start in the halls
like the girls that you're cheating in the bathroom stalls
you said you blacked out when you missed her calls
you're gonna keep it up
because you know you'll have it all
my head is inside out
broken nose and bloody mouth
throwing up on someone's couch
i know im never coming down
and im just as bad as you
hungover while you're coming to
give up trying to break through
cause i know that im dying soon
keep buying coke
make you girlfriend pay
walk home with a bloody nose at the end of the day
know who's bed you'll wake up in today
now im stoned on the side of the road
and you're paying him with change
i'll run around
look for somewhere to stay
crash your car into the side of the school
just trying to get away
now you knew exactly what i'd say
now im standing by the side of your home
and im waiting for the rain

bird trapped in a mall

take away my reasons to stay
and act like they were never there at all
i'll quit while i'm ahead
gun in my silhouette
you'll know i'm free from the note on my wall
clip my wings can't hear you sing
hit the glass for a second time and fall
scream and fight
when the mall dies
you'll find my bones in a bathroom stall

i won't be here tomorrow

ground open up beneath my feet
swallow me whole leave me to die
running out of my medication
but at least now i can cry
when i lay down in my bed
i forget what its like to breathe
i told you that i love you
so when are you gonna kill me
turn your back from me while i drift away
i won't be here tomorrow
but you're the best thing about today
said i'd wait until this season passes
do it after i write this song
the ocean i'm sinking in is too deep to drown in
i'm scared that you'll know when i'm gone
i'll lay down in my bed
and forget what its like to breathe
how many times do i have to say that i love you for you to kill me
hold me in your arms while i fade away
i won't be here tomorrow
but you're the best thing about today

i was wrapped in white wallpaper as my thoughts laid waste to my mind
i couldn't feel myself move so i tried to drift off as i was laying on my side
involuntarily tears cascaded down my face as i thought about everything that's mine
i stayed there now shaking while the pain shocked my body
hoping you don't leave me behind
i'm hyperventilating while staring in the mirror trying to make sense of myself
i'm being eaten alive by unrelenting fears because i know the person staring back at me is hell

i wanna die with the world
i wanna know what its like to be lost
i don't wanna forget what its like
to feel your skin touch mine
you're just too beautiful to die
and we know i'm too useless to survive
promise me that we're gonna stay alive
cause i need you too much to die
i wanna die with the world
