walkin around my back yard punchin the air like im a kid like im there this is it all you fuckers get ready im comin like the fist of god straight out of heaven with the music of the angels, ready with another miracle and changin out the wine for other preferable chemicals everything i was is gone, i didnt need it and i feel fucking incredible ive never felt this way before i think i fucking love you i hope thats not too fast i know we just met in the past 57 seconds with the music of the angels ready with another miracle and changing out the wine for other preferable chemicals everything he used to be is gone he didnt need it and he feels fucking incredible hes never felt this way before with the music of the angels ready with another miracle and changin out the wine for other preferable chemicals everything i was is gone i didnt need it and i feel fucking incredible
2.
everything i used to be is gone but its ok i didnt need any of it anyway im pretty sure i think and maybe we could talk about it yeah i guess i dont have to leave i dont have to leave you standing on the highway you were just completely gone and i kicked out the fuckin brake thing and i twisted the other one and you're probably still out there past the brakelights
3.
super cancer even better than cancer 1 and theres a cure but that shit is expensive and theres not any money left for any of us to get it and check it out super depression yeah we're all super depressed man they cured that too but none of us can afford it and even if we could we're all too far gone to want it the point of no return no going back no moving on we never left nowhere to go no place you left no moving out gucci cigarette you wait in line every day down at the corner cuz you just wanna feel like theres someone that understands you and you just want the feeling the warmth and the arms around you and you you think its funny and smile because you used to be convinced that human love and affection were something special that they couldnt replace all your friends with a bunch of chemicals but now you wait your turn at the corner for just a little bit of something that you thought that you lost until they put it in a vending machine with fake arms and a heart on the front and you put in your ticket and something inside is turning on and it pulls a pack out and lights you a gucci cigarette and you inhale and everythings sideways and you forget again no return no going back no moving on we never left nowhere to go no place you left no moving out gucci cigarette gucci cigarette gucci cigarette
4.
i bust through your apartment door unannounced hands planted on my hips look around and say nothing changes and the signs light up and the audience laughs and i look around at you and all of your friends nothing changes

taco bell cantina allergic to tequila kissing in the parking lot and trying way too hard and breaking down and punching out the bathroom mirror spinning out and on the ground and everything is way too loud down here and i cant hear a thing i think about a lots how growing up is growing up and getting old is getting old and you can never keep a hold of anything cuz thats just not the way things work i think about the way things work im really smart im trying really really hard to stand up but my feet wont stand im on the ground and everythings too loud down here and i cant hear a thing except i think i hear your voice i think i hear your voice i think i hear your voice i think youre saying something you sound upset im sorry i tried too hard and fell apart and now you're just completely silent i can be small i can be really quiet i can be the way i want to i can be the way i want to i think some book i read a while back had something smart to say about this that was meaningful and moving and rare to articu lately ive been fucking up real bad and ive been fucking up my life and ive been trying to be quiet ive been trying to be fine but now im coming back together everything is calming down and youre there completely silent and im on the fucking ground

bury me 02:54
you can bury me in your mansions crawl space i don't mind you said you had a nice place didn't you at the bar last night you took my hand in the beer sign light and said im a mess and theres a lot wrong with who i am and the things that i want and im kinda scared im gonna hurt somebody and i think youre really smart and really funny and im rich i interrupted and you smiled and i dont think you get it or maybe youre in denial but i ok is it really lying if i make you really happy and youre smiling all the time theres not a lot of options for me here i dont think you know how bad it really is out there everybodys either rich or cant eat so i just cut the tension with a joke you can bury me in your mansions crawl space i don't mind you said you had a nice place didn't you at the bar last night you took my hand in the beer sign light and said but ok is it really lying if i make you really happy and youre smiling is it really lying if i make you really happy and youre smiling all the time
7.
i should have taken more pictures always seemed kinda pointless just do the next thing right just do the next thing thats whats important nothings important theres always more and things cant be wasted if thats what theyre for and its dark past the stoplight and its dark in my room and the sun comes up in an hour be dark again soon and its dark past the stoplight and its dark in my room and the sun comes up in an hour be dark again soon and things cant be wasted if thats what theyre for sing "nothing lasts" forever everythings gone
8.
maybe six years ago me and you went and got skate boards together we went down to the skate shop i got a custom board with all the tricked out parts and the dude said they were wasted on me but whatever you cant tell me what to do i'm fucking sick at heart and we cut up our hands a little falling down for maybe fifteen minutes ive been in and out of airports the past couple days going from some fuckin place to just some other place and mostly i dont even know what i do it for but just now i saw two kids skateboarding through the airport and i still think about who i wanted to be how i let some shit go so i could fucking breathe and it makes me feel stupid and guilty and weak like theres some other way that i could fucking be and it isnt defeat cuz its not fucking war and you cant lose what youve got cuz its already gone theres someone you were and youre not and it shows and you cant wonder why because you fucking know im fucking sick at heart
9.
i built a tower out of empties to heaven speaking in tongues at the bouncer tellin em the stars are just our eyes echoing back and when you blink thats death but youll always be alright thats what you said as you pushed me out into the street by my shoulders and i walked back in to tell you you and me are still best friends and the whole bar screamed oh my god this shit again my ears are ringing it got so quiet and your voice rang out just a second longer and i went back in time before the first moment and i looked at my life and from that vantage i could see all my mistakes but i didnt give a shit i was the prime fucking mover i made myself like this you cant tell me what to do oh my god this shit again
10.
i bust through your apartment door and say "nothing changes" you slap the fucking smug look off my face and everybody hangin round your place looks embarassed and the signs light up and the whole world smiles the audience laughs theres no cameras gods no directors not everything has to be so important its just a moment its just one moment dont fucking blow it later when everyones gone its just you and me and the undeniable tension between us and way up high up in the nose bleed seats someone read the signs too hard and now they're swooning over the siderail into our perfect coffee table smeared onto the perfect fucking marble i could hear your heart break for a mile but come on, itll be ok not everything has to get broken baby its so important its just a moment its just one moment dont fucking blow it its so important its just a moment its just one moment dont fucking blow it
11.
we finally did it we're finally winning and its just the beginning my face is hurting from grinning i feel like i could take somebodys arm off like youd shatter all your bones on my jaw i wish we could go back in time ten years ago break into our houses and drink all our beer and smoke all our cigarettes and shake ourselves awake we'd probably start crying are we dreaming or dying? and we'd say you should probably start caring pretty soon cuz i think we woulda been alright if it wasnt for you and wed probably start to cry is this a dream or are we gonna die? isnt that what this feels like? you cant tell me thats not what this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked and wed probably start to cry and wed tell eachother its fine and wed dry eachothers eyes we're being buried alive and we didnt even notice cuz of all the shitty velvet fuck this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked this is so fucking fucked

remember wile e coyote we saw this in his eyes something about the light and now i find myself waving like im just gonna be far away and like ill be lonely without you and like im gonna think about you every day every day im gonna think about you every dangerous behavior looks a lot of different ways and you can say what you want about it but i just wanna break my body pray with me pray with me it was already our last chance
13.
