CRAWLING IN MY BRAIN
I was breathing,
I was talking to myself,
in the shower,
your lips pressed
the mouth of someone else,
and the water did glisten,
the way the moisture dripped from your bones down unto the floor,
made me want more
but my heart is not your toy,
but my heart is not your toy, little girl
My head of steel, is now a winding wheel
cause my heartbeat is what my body feels
I once called you love, just to pull your guts
but you'll never share my last name little girl
now ill never be the same, no, no,
from your gut you scream my name,
cause your love feels just pain,
and when its crawling in my brain,
i can't stand to see your lungs take their next breathe, little girl
My head of steel, is now a winding wheel
cause my heartbeat is what my body feels
I once called you love, but then i spilled your guts
now you'll never share my last name little girl
let the house burn,
burn it all away
my heart beats loud enough, my heart beats loud enough to put sound to shame,
your dead as yesterday
I'll be haunted by your love,
just longing for your touch,
but i let it burn.

A Place to Sleep Among the Creeps
and we chase our tails,
around in circles like we drink,
because we like our tails,
at least we like to think.
Preacher told me,
my whole family is gonna die,
we cling to poison,
like a moth to a light,
and my whole life I've been running scared,
I've got demons in my hair they say
dear son,
you get lost in the moments,
but i think i'll be alright
you can collect your money,
and buy your afterlife,
but i'll keep my sin tucked tight,
i admit i'm scared so lets drink until the sunlight.
teacher told me,
nevermidn those pious freaks
pity those poor folks
and find a place with the creeps
push your luck and never care,
Feed those demons in your hair,
dear son,
go get lost in the moments
but i think i'll be alright
you can collect your money,
and buy your afterlife,
but i'll keep my sin tucked tight,
i admit i'm scared so lets drink until the sunlight.
now i'm lost in the moments
do you think i'll be alright
should i collect my money,
and buy my afterlife
or should i keep my sin tucked tight
i admit i'm scared so lets drink until the sunlight.

Donnie
I can admit you might've done better
i'm not really a catch at all
Im just a narcissistic bundle of heaps of bones and bruises
that i call human body parts
I remember everything the day i met you
in the liquor store off the interstate
there somehow i knew for certain.
that girl I'd dig you like a grave.
but would you lie right here with me,
don't let me go to sleep
i know that we're both wrong
we both lied in our lovers arms
and headed from that alter fast
til a bullet caught me in the back
now would you just lie with me
here in mississippi
and let me bleed.
can we just talk i like your words
they float all around me like smoke
and i don't care quite what you're saying
but in these last moments i know,
all i know is i wanna choke
but would you lie right here with me,
don't let me go to sleep
i know that we're both wrong
we both lied in our lovers arms
and headed from that alter fast
til a bullet caught me in the back
now would you just lie with me
here in mississippi
and let me bleed.
the way she moved and said hello
and the way she moved and said, "i'm scared."
the way i shook and her brother stared
the wait and the hurt, the things i can't change
the way you said, "meet at Faulkner's grave."
the wait.

Malaga
oh young benjamin
is that what they call you now
are you the son of the south?
dear boy married chaos the day he was born
he lets fury speak for him now
someone's standing on my shadow
some say thats just misery
is it too late to fall down on my knees?
when satan has my sympathy.
oh young Caddy dear are you carefully caring now?
you've grown absurd in this town
your legs hold the burden your brothers can't bare
and you wear your sin like a gown
I give up when i am wrong
malaga Im coming home.
i'm your, i'm your animal x3
I'm your animal at large

i bet your hands feel so good around my neck.
grip tight i tingle like a percacet
i didn't say stop
i got my hands on the wheel
i think i'm driving alright now
too numb to know what i feel too dumb to know what i think
i just wish that i could find some ghost to tell you
that i love you, and i miss you
and the worry and heart ache that i get,
you caused
i can't see your halo did it ever exist at all
did you end your life to find something new
clearly son your pain was real and its selfish for me to feel
that i thought i lived a life better than you.
they call me sir strong liver, they say i haven't reached my peak
but like the devil needs a bible, i need to care what they think
they said i don't believe in anything and all my faith is gone.
but when we found you dead in that field i damn sure prayed there was a god
i was falling asleep while you were driving your car,
you screamed we're hunting people tonight
i was falling asleep while they were finding your car.

she peeled me off like i was just a scab
she used to hold me tightly like a drunken last cigarette
but now i don't care for that
i spin words like landromats
to get through the days that are beginning to feel like weeks
now i'm all alone
i've lost my nerve she said, "me too."
and i'm well aware\
new love makes hell feel just like heaven now you know
i shake i shake but i can't get the feelings off my bones
this is the worst part but baby you're the best part that i've ever known
i'm alone and its my own damn fault
it's my own damn fault and i know.

up the stairs to your apartment
you're just a bad boy
you're just tippin on my toes
your my ghost
but now you're coming alive and you're creeping under my sheets
the monster thats been haunting me so long, you're my ghsost
but now you're coming alive
you're the one i want
you're my little soul
and i'm your ghost
but now I'm coming alive and I'm creeping under your sheets
inside your head i'll make you me
my home is now your home
now i'm coming alive
i dont' think that i will ever know better
but i can't help but read you like a love letter
I'm just scared that every single word matters
way to much.

little baby in her right arm
she's you're best friend, shares a beat with your heart
but you'll leave her, and she didn't think she'd be left alone, she should have known better
you should have know by now,
that you can savor what you can taste,
but you cleaned your plate
like a glutton who swallowed his own tougue
but i wanted to be there with you,
but you've gone to meet your father,
and the beliefs that you follow i hope there true
and when you get there,
will you see stairs covered in gold, or were these lies that you were told
are we strays?
have we lost our way?
because i'm growing older
and nothings feeling safe
are we strays, is it safe for us to go?
i'm not scared the pages are wearing thin
from this book i've read,
has got me tied in knots with themes and plots from other peoples lives.
but i'm not them, their not me
life is a gift horse check its teeth
don't end your life
just get through the night
oh no stick a knife into me
now i can never touch you but i still can smell your perfume where we sleep
wish i was your clothes, draped tight around your bones
holding you like a rope
are we strays?
have we lost our way?
because i'm growing older
and nothings feeling safe
are we strays, is it safe for us to go?
i love you, i hate you i can't think at all
i love you, i hate you i can't let you go.
