Greed

I wholly resent this religion of greed
The sparkling rhinestones glued across the surface of its teeth
I'll never ask you how it happened, but I'll find it while I'm circling the yard
With my shadow keeping company
and soft kisses from a sunbeam
My body cradled by my raincoat
A simulated romance that just can't seem
to make me feel complete
The way a sailor does at sea
So I'll tear these socks right off my feet
And let the knife around my neck just bleed and bleed and bleed and bleed
Then I sucked the cyanide out of every seed
Attached to the cherry stems you tied using only your tongue and your teeth
Can you still taste it?
Because I still taste it while I'm circling the yard
Looking for an answer
Just feeling fucking stupid
Puking up my guts
And falling more in love with you
than I already was
I'm just wishing we more old now
Praying we can live forever
And hoping I don't die while circling the yard.

Crosshairs
02:30

I criticize you in my chest
And I told the knife around my neck
To just stop bleeding
I trudge around on baited breath
I sit cross-legged, breathe in the death
With breaths not breathing
I plant a flower on the sand
And then I criticize the lamb that takes a gander at the crosshairs on my hands
Then I touch another grown man's hands
We dance and dance and dance before extinguishing the fire in advance
I criticize you in my chest
With breaths not breathing.

The Ghost
04:20

I wish it weren't true that I have nothing to do
But everyday still feels the same; I guess that means that I'm to blame
And my feet can only dream to walk as far as where we'd be
If neither one of us had curriculums to complete
When I close my eyes, I see these pillars of light
As if a hundred fireflies let loose and used my pupils as a canvas
It felt so familiar, just like any other night
We would've spent the summer you came into my life
And I'm so sorry for the bullshit that I cause
I'm trying harder everyday to accept you're on your own
And yeah, I'm sorry for the sadness and you seem to have caught
It's like this disease I keep on spreading to everyone I love
So this fall, I'll become a ghost
This ain't the first time this has ever been on my mind
But I can assure it's not the last, at this point there's no turning back
But every moment that I spend scratching at the walls inside my head makes this place feel closer to Hell than it does to Heaven
You looked so sad, so I gave you everything I had
I was hoping it would make you feel the things I couldn't, but I should've known damn well that it wouldn't
And so I lit myself on fire to counteract
That frozen feeling trapped underneath the skin attached to my back
And I'm so sorry for the bullshit that I've caused
I'm trying harder each and every day at work right through this on my own
And I'm aware you're not feeling any better about the last time that we talked
It's hard to have a decent conversation when we both know you'll be gone
The next day, you'll disappear
So don't wait for me to call you, baby
I'll promise you i'm doing just fine
Because I'd hate for me to have to wait
Until we cross paths in another life
To say I'm sorry for all the bullshit that I've caused
It's getting harder every day to accept you're on your own
And I'm running out of stuff to use to keep the blood for pouring out of my heart
I'll just fly my white flag above my bed and finally give up the gun
So this fall
While you make new friends...
I'll become a ghost.
