Tin Cans

I'll send you a letter by paper plane
If you float me back a message in a bottle
Call me with your tin cans and a string
I'll get back to you by pigeon wing

Oh, somehow, some way
We'll get in touch again
Oh, somehow, someday
We will meet again.

Best Part of Waking Up

Every morning for breakfast
I eat disappointment-oh's
With almond milk and sugar
I gulp it down so violently.

You came out of nowhere
Those burning eyes, that long hair
Muscular thighs, now I don't care
About breakfast anymore.

The most important meal of the day
The most important meal of the day
The most important meal of the day
Is you.

Your gold flecked eyes
Your way with lies
You are the prize
In every box of cereal

Cheap and easy
Mostly sleazy
The best part of waking up
Isn't coffee.

Too Late

Oh what a struggle
Oh what strife
Such a busy life
So put me to bed.

I am up too late again
And I've been
Up to no good
Up to no good
Up to no good
I've been
Up to no good
Up to no good
Up to no good

Thinking about you...

I should put you out my mind
Work on moving forward
And I am trying to unwind
But I can't stop

Thinking about you...

Replaying our love like a movie
Our conversations like a script
Wrapping your thin arms around me
But it's too late.

My Little Girl Heart

I've got nothing to give you
Nothing you'd want anyway
I've been struggling just to make it
Through another day.
I keep searching for a reason
That you might want to stay
I keep coming up empty
Cuz you always go away.

My little girl heart
Lives in fairy tales
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put it back together again.

Roving Soul

I pick you up, I put you down
I know you'll always be around
When I am ready to begin again.

I carry on like it is fine
There's no trouble writing lines
But filler drives me to tears.

Oh I'm such a roving soul
Oh I have such fickle fingers
Oooh my mind it wanders
But it always wants to return.

I pick you up, I dust you off
A little rusty from neglect
Lucky I'm a good beginner

I dip the brush, I spread the paint
I still remember what to do
So obsessed for today with you.

Oh I'm such a roving soul
Oh I have such fickle fingers
Oooh my mind it wanders
But it always wants to return.

I wish that I could love just one
Have a burning passion for
Not a "Jack of All" situation.
I wish I could master anything,
It sure would save me time
And so much frustration.

Ballad of a Slut

I just want a boy to fuck when I'm drunk
Hold me close and smell my hair
Tell me that I'm funny and smart
Not bare me his whole damn heart.

I just want a boy to screw when I'm blue
Something warm to hold on to
Not too pretty and not too bright
Just some company for a night.

If that's you then come on down
I'll be out on the town
Drinking swill and poking fun
Maybe you could be the one...

Nah.

I just want a girl to fuck when I'm drunk
Kiss me soft and make me bold
Tell me that I'm sharp as a knife
Not share me her whole damn life.

I just want a girl to bone when I'm stoned
Lie through her teeth and bend the knee
Flatter me with bedroom eyes
Loud exclaims and short goodbyes.

If that's you then come on down
I'll be out on the town
Drinking swill and poking fun
Maybe you could be the one...

Nah.

If you're looking for a girl
For a whole new world...
Look elsewhere, Hon!
I'm just looking for some fun!

Heartbroken

I'm gonna color my hair
Buy some new underwear
Listen to a different music genre
Because my soul is restless
And my heart is broken.
Someone (quick!)
Get me out of this drama.

Write me a new song
Direct a better life
Bring me a big bong
And a cheap sweet wine
To mend this heart of mine.

I'm gonna go out tonight 
And maybe start a fight
Or dance it out with tequila shots
Because my soul is restless 
And my heart is broken.
Someone (quick!)
Let me out of this drama.

Write me a new song
Direct a better life
Bring me a big bong
And a cheap sweet wine
To mend this heart of mine.

To mend this heart of mine
Let's do another line...
To mend this heart of mine.

Blame

You belong to another
But I don't care
Legs wrapped all around you
Hands in your hair
You like a little rough touch
You like a little too much
And I'm the one expected
To explain.

I belong to no one
But I don't care
Wrap my legs around
Anyone I dare
I like a little rough touch
I like a little too much
Why should I be expected
To explain.

Shame shame shame
On me
Shame shame shame
On me
Shame shame shame
On me
Why am I the one you want
To blame?

You belong to another
But you don't care
Wrap your arms around me
You pull my hair
You like a little rough touch
You like a little too much
And I'm the one expected
To explain.

Do we belong to anyone?
And do we care?
She's putting white flowers
All in her hair
She thinks she owns your touch
She thinks of you too much
Why should I be expected
To explain.

Shame shame shame
On me
Shame shame shame
On me
Shame shame shame
On me
Why am I the one you want
To blame?

How you look her in the eye
No, I don't know
Feed her all those little lies
Put on a show
The scratches from my fingers
My perfume on you lingers
Oh I can't be expected
To explain.

Shame shame shame
On me
Shame shame shame
On me
Shame shame shame
On you
I am not the only one
To blame!

Fine

You packed up and left
Did you even look back?
Not a word said to me
When I was such a wreck
So now in my mind
You are just DEAD
And I'm done mourning
You're outta my head.

Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be fine.
Has anyone seen my piece of mind?
Steady as a rock stuck firm in the ground.
You say I'm all talk, but you're not around
To pick up the pieces if I fall apart.
Don't worry 'bout me, I don't need a heart.

It's easy for me
To move on with my life
As easy as you
And your ugly ass wife
Cuz now in my mind
You are just DEAD
Your fucking snoring
Is outta my bed.

Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be fine.
Has anyone seen my piece of mind?
Steady as a rock stuck firm in the ground.
You say I'm all talk, but you're not around
To pick up the pieces if I fall apart.
Don't worry 'bout me, I don't need a heart.

I'm gonna be
Fine fine fine
Even though you're not
Mine mine mine.
Just give me some
Wine,
And I'll show you I'm
FINE.

Vultures

I had a dream last night
We were all convened
At a church to meet and greet
And atone for all our crimes

We looked upon each other
Found no truths, no resolution
Wearing the faces of our youth
Every blink was a tactic
Every breath a war.

I have grown too tired
For these petty, pointless games
But they are always playing
With the same worn deck of cards.
Even in my dreams we are not friends
We are vultures.

We picked through the remains
Of a million conversations
Reciting our dead memories
Regurgitating dialogue

We fed upon each other
Found no peace, no satisfaction
Sharpening beaks upon the pews
Every offer a tactic
Every truce a war.

I have grown too tired
For these petty, pointless games
But they are always playing
With the same worn deck of cards.
Even in my dreams we are not friends
We are vultures.

Behind The Mask

Capture me inside a box
Limit me to just one life
Guarantee I won't come back
I'll subscribe to that.

Your wings don't fool me
Your halo is slipping
I see behind the mask,
The angelic front
You are just a man
A man I don't wanna know.

Though you offer redemption
Though you promise salvation
The blood on your palms
looks like paint to me
You are just a man
And I'm not satisfied

Cuz I know where to find salvation
I know how to make it right
I know what to do with my devotion
But it is not your Christ.

Capture me inside a box
Limit me to just one life
Guarantee I won't come back
I'll subscribe to that.

HELL I KNOW

Fingers in my brain
I can't survive this lifeless terrain.
Mountains of screaming devils,
Eyeless they scent my tender flesh.

Screaming, screaming, eternal torment.
Burning, scorching, torture's not silent.
Fire, brimstone, feel the hungry lick.
Gently cradle a mind turned sick.

Every day, every hour
More and more I feel it's power
So deceptive, slowly creeping
In my brain while I am sleeping
Captivating, watch me fading
Faster, faster, watch me fall.

And I am at the mercy
Of creatures who don't see me
They smell my desperation
And know I've lost my way
Who'll come to save the day?
This damsel can't help herself.

THERE IS TIME

There is time to explore
The criminal impulses
That you feel in your gut
When you don't ignore the voices

Just take your time, boy
Draw a line, boy
Pick the side that you won't cross
Just take the time, boy
Be a fine boy
Put your shoulder to that cross

And don't cross the spear that bleeds you
Thank the nails that hold you up
For they absolve you of your sins
And make you purer than a little lamb.

Pain is simple to inflict,
Mercy needs a bigger stick.
Flaggelation is salvation
Not one need accuse you now.

There is time to make amends...

There is time, boy
Make amends, boy
To the ones that you have crossed
There is time, boy
Be a fine boy
Put your shoulder to that cross...

Walking Dead

We couldn't run anymore
We were too tired and sore
You sacrificed yourself so I could live
Gave all that you could give
But I can't go on
Now that you've gone...

You only want me for my body now
I am tempted to just give in
I should just shoot you in the head
You left me for the walking dead.

It was love from the start
Couldn't tear us apart
Killing zombies through the endless night
We were the life of the fight
We were the perfect pair
And it's just not fair!

You only want me for my body now
I am tempted to just give in
I should just shoot you in the head
You left me for the walking dead.

It's just not the same without you
The laughs we had were too few
And more than your sharpshooting skills I miss
Your warm embrace and your kiss...

You only want me for my body now
I am tempted to just give in
I should just shoot you in the head
You left me for the walking dead.
