things get mixed up when you're on your own
turn your head away, and off it goes
desperation setting in, nothing new to talk about
you're green as fuck, saying help me out
wendigo, where did you go
'cause i am just the devil in disguise
i am the means to every one of your ends
and i am just the cold, night sky.
you ripped off everyone, now you're mine.
now i'm driving down a one-way road.
you need more and more and more til you're pockets explode.
but all these creatures of the night, they come to take away your sight.
camouflaged like death over your life.
i put the tape over her mouth
to kill all the dead sound
how do you make chloroform?
how do you break a neck?
i went away for 31 days
left you alone in your watery grave
the moonlight and the smoking gun
that fell out of my hand
the only thing they seemed to say was
good luck in your watery grave
now i'm walking free or so they say
they evidence can't lie
sent the baby down the river
dead things can't shiver
i wake up every day and i wanna spill my guts to the floor.
my girl said i don't make enough, she walked right out the door.
and empty bottles stand like casualties of war, my liver and myself.
it's a fight i never wanted to be in and i can't take it anymore.
i wake up every day, i got nothing nice to say at all
the walls are closing in, and i can see how this is gonna end.
and in the mornings when i'm todl to get a job or g et a life,
yu kouw i never wnated a part of either fucking one
young and broke, i stay pissed
murder all the optimists
negativity, my way out.
i wake up every day with my stomach contents in a pile
right beside my bed, slowly going out of my head
and everything you say to me does not add up to anything
your quickrete morals wash away with the rain
i'm surrounded with distain
how the hell did we end up here and in this mess
it seems you've got something hidden under your dress..
just above the garter
i can't figure you out, force yourself upon me
i can't get myself out when you grin and bare your teeth.
and i'm not sure how we ended up down here
nuclear power plant is acting up again like it did last year
dawn, oh dawn
i am surrending to your smile,
that toothy grin, i'd run a thousand miles for you.
you've got an ugly past, but all that's way back there.
you know that shit won't last.
you said "can i lean on you?"
i said sure but i didn't know
it came with all this bullshit.
now i sit and stare at the wall.
nothing comes through
not even a phone call.
so what?
you spent your whole life scheming,
now spend the last five minutes screaming.
who needs friends like you to push these troubles through
it's like you're shoving bayonets in my spine
but i'll make it through this day, it doesn't matter anyway.
wear out your fuckin soul, keep walking.
"hey man can you spare a dollar?
i just spent my last dime on a dime"
it clearly didn't filter through your mind.
you're just a wasted, you're wasted.
you waste all my fucking time.
