A Double Shot for One
I can see you through the dim lighting that my corner provides
Shuffling cigarettes through your ever once trembling hands
Every story that I’ve ever told started just like this
So as the glass hits my dried lips –
I will drink alone (alone)
I can hear laughter through the jukebox as it’s playing your song
Squinting through my eyes over the rims of my crooked glasses
Every story that I’ve ever heard, it ended just like this
So as the song fades to silence –
I will sing, sing to you baby
I will drink alone and sing to you
So as the song fades to silence –
I will sing, sing to you baby
Sing to you baby
So as the song fades to silence –
I will sing, sing to you baby

A Drop on the Tip of Your Tongue
Goodnight, angel
You don’t look as innocent now that the day has treated you well
And I hope this letter folded into corners finds you sitting all by yourself
Cause I’ve torn up fourteen before this one captured my words perfectly until –
Another comes to mind
You should pay homage to what I’ve done
Try slipping into something more comfortable than me
Pull down your offerings
I’ll never accept a thing from you now that this is all I have
And I hope this letter folded into corners finds you sitting all by yourself
(Or your dead relationships)
Cause I’ve torn up fourteen before this one captured my words perfectly until –
Another comes to mind
You should pay homage to what I’ve done
Try slipping into something more comfortable than me
You’ll see places and seem just fine
You’ll never have anything more comfortable than me
(You’re comfortable, comfortable…)
You should pay homage to what I’ve done
Try slipping into something more comfortable than me
You’ll see places and seem just fine
You’ll never have anything more comfortable than me

Ambien Wet Dreams
It’s been a long quiet drive home from where I have just been
The lights, the roads – familiar once seem almost foreign to me
So as the dashboard shines a moment that I think I’ve seen
A flash – a sound – a distance not so far off
Not so far off
And then the clarity in me rolls up playing dead
Enough sun gets through
For me to hear the voices singing – turn to scream back
This is all that I can take
I’ve never known much more than that, but now…
You’re louder than ever before
These are the pills I take to fall asleep
I’m not as restless as you think that I should be
I am numb, silent – motionless with hands folded over me
These are the pills I take to fall asleep
I am numb…
The second time around is always better than you thought it would be
Her eyes are brighter than the stars
Just like in that movie with the song that moves me – I hear it playing
This is all that I can take
I’ve never known much more than that, but now…
You’re louder than ever before
These are the pills I take to fall asleep
I’m not as restless as you think that I should be
I am numb, silent – motionless with hands folded over me
These are the pills I take to fall asleep
I am numb
It’s been a long quiet drive home from where I have just been
The lights, the roads – familiar once seem almost foreign to me
So as the dashboard shines a moment that I think I’ve seen
A flash – a sound – a distance not so far off
Not so far off
This is all that I can take
I’ve never known much more than that, but now…
You’re louder than ever before
These are the pills I take to fall asleep
I’m not as restless as you think that I should be
I am numb, silent – motionless with hands folded over me
These are the pills I take to fall asleep
I am numb

And your bruises don’t lie
Everything comes to the surface, once there’s a light shined upon –
The story’s exposed
And now they wait, until you come to the surface. Everything comes to the surface
You (you) take a picture of me and I’ll live forever now
Is that what you wanted?
Well it’s too late to go back
And your bruises don’t lie
Everything comes to the surface once there’s a light shined upon –
The story’s exposed
And now they wait, until you come to the surface. Everything comes to the surface
You (you) take a picture of me and I’ll live forever now
Is that what you wanted?
Well it’s too late to go back
Everything comes to the surface once there’s a light shined upon
Your story is told
You (you) take a picture of me and I’ll live forever now
Is that what you wanted?
Well it’s too late to go back
How long? How long? How long? How long?
I’ll live forever…
I’ll live forever …
I’ll live forever, now

She’ll Have What I’m Having
I see it when you arch your back and flutter those eyes
While biting your bottom lip to restrain yourself
From saying those things that were meant to be saved
Keep secrets from the ears
Of those summer nights
Would you rock and roll with me and take away my home
But who am I to say you’re wrong when wrong is all I know
So roll your eyes just one more time
I wish we had it easier for now
Let’s have one more goodbye
Can I have your mouth?
Just let me taste the whispers I could not hear
With one more motion and one last breath
I’ll tear away your defense
Of those summer nights
Would you rock and roll with me and take away my home
But who am I to say you’re wrong when wrong is all I know
So roll your eyes just one more time
I wish we had it easier for now
Of all mistakes, I’ve made much worse
Would you rock and roll with me and take away my home
But who am I to say you’re wrong when wrong is all I know
So roll your eyes just one more time
I wish we had it easier – softer – less complicated and they all would hate it
If I gave you all that you deserve
You’re my mistake
I’ve made much worse

A Conversation Amongst Dying Friends
I’m growing old
Just getting stale and I’m thinking about trying to leave the rest alive
Stop wasting ink on fucking words because you know I can’t read at all
But if you teach me I could learn
This is not what you and I envisioned now is it?
A conversation amongst dying friends
The story ends with you waiting here forever
Just dot all my I’s with lead
Until we find ourselves aligned
Asking was it all worth it? Was it all worth it?
I’m growing old
Just getting stale and I’m thinking about trying to leave the rest alive
Did you hear that? They’re getting closer
Hurry up and take it off
Let me see what you have done to yourself
This is not what you and I envisioned now is it?
A conversation among dying friends
The story ends with you waiting here forever
Just dot all my I’s with lead
Until we find ourselves aligned
Asking was it all worth it? Was it all worth it?
Blank pages wasted, so bound my memoirs in leather
Because I’m not coming home
And if we try harder next time, we’ll know was it all worth it
Fuck it we’re jumping.
Was it all worth it?
Was it all worth it?
The story ends with you waiting here forever
Just dot all my I’s with lead
Until we find ourselves aligned
Asking was it all worth it? Was it all worth it?
Blank pages wasted, so bound my memoirs in leather
Because I’m not coming home
And if we try harder next time, we’ll know was it all worth it
Fuck it we’re jumping.
Until we find ourselves aligned asking was it all worth it?
Was it all worth it?
