You said to me, “you look awfully red”
So now I harbor these feelings to my end
And so death bows to us
Two in each eye
Back left, three up, and go down, you’re all mine
So you don’t gotta be so nervous
Because we all just got here
Bad dream, what she writes
On the floor of my conscience
Leads me to your medicine
Oh Maxine, you do more than I wanted
More than I needed
Pierce through
You have a silver tongue for making me so nervous
While they all just watch you
Enter me with your clothes awfully wet
Maxine said to me, “why’s a boy like you hang his head?”
“Well Jesus-“ I promptly respond, “maybe this is all too much for me.”
I respond with
“Maybe this is all too much for me.”
“Maybe this is all too much, Maxine.”

Is This Still Real?
03:13

Don’t wait up for me
Embrace it, fall asleep
You win, I accepted your apology against my better judgement
My friends’ advice goes in one ear and out the other
Guardrail into endless water,
Oh how the cravings sing
You promised me, your daughter,
Never to be away
You promised me
Your time
You promised me
Now you’re all alone
Crash down all around you
Never been so low, and all I get was
Goodbye
Well, goodbye
I’ll make this drive alone
Why won’t you just take me home?
This stretch has stories but it’s nothing I’m interested in
I'd rather warm the metal
Throw the glass right underneath my skin
Now you’ve got nothing to say
You’re gonna lead me the wrong way
Your own way, but it ain’t what they wanted
So play the game, it’s been done since beginning
Won’t you put on a show?
Im boring through my seat
“Hold on, is this, still real?”
You ask, while the hourglass tips
Crash down around me
You’ve never been so low, and all you got was goodbye
Rinse all your pain out
All I get are goodbyes

So what, if I showed you my voice?
Is anybody listening?
As we crash this car in slow motion
We go unnoticed into the night
Like pictures framed in focus
Just imitate real life
So I dread this moment
Vision is going white
Now, time, times up, your time is up, over
Nowhere to run
I have to show you my knife
Glisten in the moonlight
Just like your Angel face
And in perfect timing
The show began
Your crimson technicolor
Exposed and coats my hands
Now I know you better
Than all your friends do
In most irregular way
Well I suppose they’ll to have to settle
For being second best to me
I walk this cold corridor
With your hair in my hand
Carefully avoiding openings and windows
We’re all alone
Will you accept this love I gift to you due in part to the blade?
They may not understand but i know what I’m doing
I hope that I know what I’m doing
bond me to your ghost forever
the silence here is deafening
Does anybody hear it?
Now I just live my life in slow motion
It’s almost done
Can anybody hear me?
My time is up
Our time is up

Clean Exit
03:18

You push me around
Just pull me out of this place, I’ve grown tired
Sick dead from waiting for your gun to fire
I couldn’t drown out the noise if I wanted to, So I learned to swallow my pride on my own
Just go home, you’re staining my carpet with your regret
And you know, that god said you shouldn’t be here
So what happens when he finds out that you’re gone?
I can’t let him take you back
When every thread vacates the loom
With every check that goes too soon
I won’t let him take you back there
But I’ll take you anywhere, and everywhere
You’re not going anywhere
Or at least that’s what I thought
Clean exit through windows in my mind
And sure I miss you, but not enough to die
A twisted sequence, your trickery, how could you let your body meet my eyes?
Well I guess I’ll be fine in time
Just pull me out of this place, I’ve grown tired
Oh why wont you just open fire?
It’s like pulling my teeth to get through to you
Thank god I swallowed my pride on my own

Locket Keepsake Murder
03:55

I’ve lived your death, love
One thousand times before you stepped foot into this charade, this elaborate rouse
Now why would you be so afraid of me?
Theres nothing, you’re safe in here
It was once all perfect
Until the world gave birth my worst fear
You sang the high harmonies as we flew right down 84
This time ill never forget, as long as I’m still alive beneath your halo
And I’ll be sure that you’ll be buried next to me
Even in death you can’t escape your destiny
It’s all red
(Time fades away)
To me
(Like you’ve gone to sleep)
But there’s not a thing about this dream that you can shake
So dispute the case
Throw senses by the wayside
Say you’ll remember me even if you won’t, just lie
You sang the high harmonies as we flew right down 84
This time I’ll never regret, as long as I still survive beneath your halo
I live my life on the fence, I do my deals in the dark
Immersed in full confidence, just the throw the gear in reverse, just slow down
You’re my locket keepsake murder
It’s all just in my head, I’m frozen from the waist down
I wish you’d believe me but what a shame I always lie
You sang the high harmonies as we flew right down 84
Now I know better than that, I know that I won’t survive beneath your halo
And when it’s all turning red you’ll find me back at the start
You’ll tie a rope around your neck, I’ll smile when you begin to fall
