Stains

I'm bouncing off the walls
And drinking kerosene
I try to write a song
I'm huffing gasoline
I try to learn the bass
My strap is way too low
This song needs tambourine
Hell if I'll ever know
Check me out now, I'm a stain on a couch
Slacking off and looking for some motivation
Check me out now, my drums are way too loud
My teeth are rotting and my ego has deflated
It seems that nothing sticks
My stomach's feeling numb
I'll write about my fears
I fear my time is up
I wrote a couple songs
The bass fell off my neck
Who owns a tambourine?
Hell, I'm not finished yet
Check me out now, I'm a stain on a couch
Slacking off and looking for some motivation
Check me out now, I kicked my drum head out
My gums are bleeding and I'm lost to masturbation
Check me out now, I'm a stain on a couch
Slacking off and looking for some motivation
Check me out now, my drums are way too loud
My teeth are rotting and my ego has deflated

Modern Prometheus

(One, two, three, four)
Debilitated, a tumor in my mind
Wake up feeling wasted, I'm just a waste of time
These stains that I've created are ones I've come to love
How long until I realize that I am just a chump?
Locked inside my basement with apathy and lust
Just can't shake the feeling that I am not enough
These stains that I've created are ones I've come to love
How long until I realize that I am just a chump?

All my friends are enemies
Why are you afraid of me
So come and get a piece of me
Just wait and you'll see
Roadkill
Roadkill
Roadkill
Punch me in the teeth
Lay it all at my feet
Lock the door and throw the key
Just wait and you'll see
Roadkill
Roadkill
Roadkill

Girl

She's looking for love, but her heart is cold
Pushing me away and it's getting old
In another week she'll find someone else
Drag them down to Earth, further down to Hell
But she's my friend
She's my friend
She's my friend
She's my friend
She can still complain when she's found the one
Cries out in contempt, "no one is enough"
Bet her heart will bleed when she's all alone
Never settled down, never found a home
But she's my friend
She's my friend
She's my friend
She's my friend

I don't mean to gasp, I don't mean to sigh
I don't mean to laugh, I don't mean to cry
I could tell you all the things that I wanted to do
But you don't care about me and I'm fed up with you
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?
First you talk about me with a friend that you trust
New boyfriend the next day and you left me in the dust
Talk about my friends, but who's the one who cheated now?
Just make a new identity and stand out from the crowd
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?
Don't even throw out the victim card
Saying shit like life sucks, life's hard
I'm the one that told you this first
You're so fake, why do you act like this hurts?
Punch my heart until it's sore
We never bickered back and forth
Guess I'll never know what happened to us
I guess you left me just 'cause
I really think that I wasted my time
I really think that I shouldn't even try
I really think that I should have cut all ties long ago
'cause dating him's an actual crime
Tell you never but I'll tell you again
You have separated our group of friends
Telling people shit so they can see
So don't blame that shit on me

Leather Jacket

I see the world through red and white
My leather jacket's too damn tight
I threw the sea into the moon
My mother thinks my friends are goons
I might look alright
But on the other side
I think I'm terrified
I might be terrified
I forced my brain into my skull
There's never a moment where I'm not dull
I left the stove on burning cold
I'm tired of doing what I'm told
I might look alright
But on the other side
I think I'm terrified
I might be terrified

Couch Dweller

Well there's a werewolf woman living on my couch
And she never moves, never makes a sound
With her pale green eyes, gives a look of death
And her yellow teeth bleed her wretched breath
A silver bullet couldn't get you off your ass
And I'll be laughing when I watch you come in last
Well it's been years and I'm ready for the dive
Only the dead take you alive
Lives in a two-hick town where the children play
Gives a place to sleep and a place to prey
She eats my food, never gets replaced
She gives me the creeps in my private space
A silver bullet couldn't get you off your ass
And I'll be laughing when I watch you come in last
Well it's been years and I'm ready for the dive
Only the dead take you alive

Feel the autumn leaving from my eyes
Head begins to rot
Roots start growing deep into the ground
Breathing something I should not
Fingers crawling from beneath the pit
Arms that I control
Legs are longer, and a little spit
Drooling on my clothes
You can talk to me, but I don't have a head
Lest you give to me while laying in your bed
This heart I grew for you while laying in the dirt
Has taken hold my pumpkin head
Nighttime comes, light candles in my skull
Walk safely to your home
You hold my hand, I wish that I could blush
Over this skin and bone
You give me once a kiss right on the cheek
And I walk home alone
Back to the hole, my body lay to rest
My head cut full of holes
This heart I grew for you while laying in the dirt
Has simply shielded me from fear of getting hurt
As the light in my head burns out amidst the cold
A baseball bat cracks through my brain

Where are you when I need someone to talk to?
But I'm still here when you need someone to walk through
Every time you're mad
You've been through hell? Well so have I don't complain
When you fall down, you're hanging from a shoe string
And it seems so sad
Crack my ribs and snap my spine
Why don’t you take everything that’s mine
Everything that’s mine
This red has turned a deeper blue
And now there’s nothing I can do
Nothing I can do
You drank away all your made up problems
And now you're dead to pawn it off on someone
When it's all your fault
Crack my ribs and snap my spine
Why don’t you take everything that’s mine
Everything that’s mine
This red has turned a deeper blue
And now there’s nothing I can do
Nothing I can do

I know you've got a lot to do
So please come stay at my house
I know there's not much you can say
As your relationships go south
I never said that I love you
All my feelings are implied
But I will not confirm your doubts
Or give you comfort to confide
Oh I don't mind if you don't mind
As long as you're all mine
Oh I don't mind if you don't mind
As long as you're all mine
I take you out to burn my cash
That I get from the government
Just for sitting on my ass
And taking corporal punishment
I'm pretty sure that's why you stay
'Cause you can offer nothing else
But you cannot throw me away
You're bottom feeding off the help
Oh I don't mind if you don't mind
As long as you're all mine
Oh I don't mind if you don't mind
As long as you're all mine

Space Dogs

We were space dogs
Shooting through the night sky
But in the end, you were never mine
We were convicts,
Tipping over cars
We were dumb teens, filling up our hearts
Thanks for the CDs,
And jacket that I stole
But I’m still learning, to love is still to hold
So if you see me
Don’t look the other way
We could be lovely, some day but not today
We were space dogs
Grounded to the Earth
But in the end, none of this will hurt
We were space dogs
Shooting through the night sky
But in the end, you were never mine
We were space dogs
Shooting through the night sky
But in the end, you were never mine
You were never mine

We could run away
I really don't wanna stay
If you knew that I was living this way
You'd hit me, you'd hit me
I don't know how I managed to fall this hard
You talk of was and when
I won't ever feel the same again
I'll spill my guts to you my friend
And all I ever get is you leaving, you leaving
I don't know why I ever let it go this far
All I know, I've got a battered beaten broken heart
Once we held the world safe inside our arms
We set it down and then went out and next thing we know
We're lonely, we're lonely
I don't know how I'm prone to causing so much harm
Let me take you out, it'll just be you and me
We can wave big sticks like shining swords
And go on one last quest before you leave me, you leave me
I don't blame you, look what I've done so far
Maybe someday soon, we could ride in a big balloon
Slingshot at the ready, we could watch over the people that we love, we love
I don't know if we should ever come back down
All I know is you're better without me around
Ouch
