Heartbreaking Music
I’ve already come to terms
With bridges I have burned
We all make mistakes
Keep preparing for the worst
So it won’t seem adverse
Just like we rehearsed
Click, two, three, heartbreaking music
So close to loss we use it
How much honesty’s healthy
Say what’s on your mind
The only way to be
The drugs are only for dessert
Do your homework first
We don’t administer the cure for that thirst
‘Cause it’s always been heartbreaking music
So close to death we use it
Killing
Writing this over and over
It will never mend
I am the jest malignant cell
Playwright to your hell
I think I knew you well
But I wish I were as smart as you
I could I have changed your mind
Would of, should of, the question ‘til I die
But it’s always been heartbreaking music
So close to life we abuse it Killing

Automatic
Get up, smile, find a need, wash your hair, bleach your teeth
Develop habit,
Automatic
Compromise, build a bridge,
Sacrifice, sacrilege
Sell yourself,
Automatic
Nobody out there knows
None of them have intent
Pretension and purpose
Fashioned in plastic heads
Everyone drives all day
None of them have a goal
Everyone’s lost their way
All of them play the game
Set a goal
Make it happen
Imagine love
Fake a passion
Change your name
Stay in fashion
Make a deal
Make it happen
Compromise, build a bridge
Sacrifice, sacrilege
Same cars
Same clothes
Same desires
Same woes
Lose it all
Automatic
Nobody out there feels
None of them sees the end
Pretension and purpose
Fashioning plastic heads
Everyone drives all day
Searching their empty hearts
Everyone’s lost their way
All of us fall apart
Automatic
Automatic

Resolve
Don’t leave me in this room
The walls are closing in
This is the space I used to say
The line is drawn for you each day
But every day you show
With sound of caving walls
Some day this song will have no pulse
And I’ll cave alone
But there we are
Waiting for your answer
Your arms speeded elation
Beating out your salvation
But when the tape stopped you were gone
A half measure from home
This week I recreate
Edit you back into
The blare that could define you
Coveted by few who knew
The phone rings without pause
This grief wills everyone
All I have is our shitty song
How could it ever be enough?
Here we are in our final accord
A mortician and his tools
Sonically bury you
You could have chose another chord to resolve on

Virus
We colonize a better place
Unable to transform our fate
We follow whatever path grows
Directions no one knows
Given the choice for normalcy, you seem content in who
you’ve come to be
They said he re-installed his plague
Said to have re-vamped that limp vein
As if it all ends formulaic
Painless escape
We share the same virus of love and hope
And it’s a fleeting beauty
You did everything you could
You were there for him through bad and good
Disappear before you follow suit
The parasites, they are still there to swallow you
Beating through an obtrude chest
Every emotive plea a stretch
No praise enough to build a life
No words to instill pride
And through your life disorder rides
I did everything I could
Mostly there for him through bad and good
I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call
The one that signals to us all
This bender’s over again
Listen for one last faint heartbeat
Holding his hand in hopes he breathes
All of those sad years have come to this
Your head lay on his sunken chest
The thought of you at his deathbed
The latest virus in my head
Unjust, unjust
Selfless you tended to our ghost
Katherine an unconditional untiring host
You were there for him when he needed you the most
I hope someone restores your heart
I hope something restores your world

Runs In The Family
Used to recognize the gun in your hand
Promise, squandered
Used to understand the stake in your heart
Mileage, road worth
But it’s hard to recognize the massive burden
Born of bad deeds
And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge
Everybody build a monument to pain
Flowers, fast cars
Everybody raise the thief in your heart
It’s just a beating
And it sounds just like a million other tributes
Customs and demons
And it runs in the family with a million regrets
It’s just (It’s just revenge) revenge
Everybody build a monument to fear
Unsafe people
Everybody raise a paranoid child
It’s just an over-stimulated mind
It sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love
And it runs in the family with a million missteps
It’s just revenge
Everything echoes
Everyone emulates
Everyone is a victim of their blood
Everyday initiate
Everything echoes
Everyone echoes
All of us are running with the wolves
All of us are running out of life

The Contortionist
In a chalk dotted line
Draw a kid, left behind
Severed limbs in harmony
Strumming from a few good deeds
Carry it to survive
To a bed half alive
Held before a dozen times
Deep inside a funeral for a friend…
Runs in portions like film clips
Run, run
Rundown the list
The memoirist
Like kindling
Burn, burn, burn, and burn down
I will stay inside
The saved
It’s a good mourning
They will ignite you (soon)
The doomed
I will write for you
Of a boy, damaged goods
Of a bench, understood
For a spell, the soul resides
In a yellow chalk outline
Carry on the camel’s back
Have another heart attack
To the cure I would drive
Played that scene a hundred times to date
Today’s ambition, to relate
In a sustaining saccharine state
Impart the burden and get well
It’s what everyone’s trying to sell
Anything you want it to be
Weigh the screenplay and revise
Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist
So hopelessly ill-fated everyday
He will stay inside
The doomed
It’s a good mourning to loom
They will inspire him
The saved Innocently filling graves

Sad Astronaut
As you sat on the bed
Moments from your end
Inconceivable dread
Inches from your head
I can’t bear to imagine you
In that horror scene
One too sad to be
In my mind’s eye I am there
Embracing you so scared
Now you kill me too
You killed me too
Decidedly willing to lie for you
Absolutely willing to cry for you
Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you
A part of me will never know
I am there again, intervals of red
An accomplice to
Things I couldn’t do
In a fable disabled
I say words like foolish son
God what have you done
I’m a thin blue cliché, hopelessly
I’m a mouthful of doubtful
Decidedly willing to lie for you
Say again
Willing to cry for you
Finally saying goodbye to you
A part of you I’ll never know
Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky
While your garden died
You couldn’t see the sky for your fallen stars?
Endless in your arms
You were still alive even as the sad astronaut

Rager
Proceeds, who’s in?
Who wants a piece of him?
So many articles to choose from
Comrade, artiste
A taste for evidence
Hold on to articles of faith
Once worth nothing that something touches who you want to be
Baggage embodies no one (He is gone)
Intrinsic to only one (He is gone)
Belongings don’t define us
Keepsake, fingerprint, scrapbook, record of death
Funeral, event, everyone’s gonna be there
They have to see you pay respects
Breathe in, breathe out, random, random, random
Who are these fucking idiots?
Come on I’m writing you
I know this role is tearing you apart
Large numbers can’t console you (He is gone)
Don’t let the guilt control you (He is gone)
The anger has consumed you
Ranting, regret, enrage, screaming next…

The Worst
How does it start?
When does it end?
Blood and love graces everyone
You only want to touch it once
He didn’t give it up
She wasn’t long enough
They didn’t save your falling smile
He never had a chance
But there it is
You’re finally blessed
And you can’t handle it
The worst
What did it say?
All you really need is love
But you’re gonna make those fuckers pay
You’re gonna hurt someone
That’s all there really is
The ones that don’t survive
They lied to you a thousand times
And you’re starving heart has died
But there it is
You’re finally blessed
Failure, failure, failure
A cement frown breaking
Allows a straight line blown away
It fell at thirteen
You’re wide awake
Hours blind every winding curve
You start the fall from grace
The worst
You never had a chance
But here it is
You’re finally blessed

Creepy
What if I had nothing left?
What if I had no one left?
Why would I…
Who would I survive?
Dead man, he leaves his home
Hopeless, he holds his goals higher, higher, low
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With a real smile on your face
What if you felt certainty?
Granted trust when you were young
Why would you…
How would you let go?
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With an expectation
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With a real smile on your face

Infectious
Controlled, consumed
Thoughts unattached
Each one a failed synapses detached from fact
One positive, one negative
Desperate, holding on to healthy images
Remember witness, wattness, matters, we’re not gonna make it
Provoking everyone but no one gives a…
Half laugh, half sigh
Half-sad, half-smile
Losing ability to recall his half-life
Burn from the stove
Keys locked inside
Dazed as impending anger turns up in reprise
Remember green light, keeper, easy and eyes on the road ahead
Provoking everyone with all the words he said
Infectious
I won’t speak of all that would have been
Gained, lost, spent
But I won’t think of all that could have been
Controlled, consumed
Thoughts unattached
Outburst, these images are melding in my head
Remember Franken, Milkweg, Lintfabrik
The weirdest we have seen
Fires and blown-out tires
Perfect tragedy
Infectious
I won’t think of all that should have been
Waste, lost, spent
But I won’t think of all that could have been
Goodbye old friend I won’t speak of all that could have been

Days Of New
The days are full of storybook romance,
the myriad of thoughtful acts
A million ways I'm into you,
I'm never getting over you
I'm sorry for exposing you,
I know you hate it when I do
But I had to write one for my better half
The days are new, the nights unwind
You break my world, you change my mind
Run out of love, come down from life
Run out of pain, my life has changed
It's obvious it's all been said in cheesy poems and chick flicks
The mushy shit that people say, it makes us chuckle everyday
So how can I express to you the recent dramas we've been through
I wouldn't have been fine without your help
The days are new, the nights unwind
You touch my world, you change my life
Run out of love, run out of life
Come down from hate, the world has changed
But we may never have met if it weren't for him
Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening
Today's mantra is gratitude
You changed my life
I'm sure you knew I'll never forget the words that you said
The life that you lead
I'll never forget I'll never forget
I'll never forget I'll never forget
