Hey There, Mister

Can you grab the scissors?
I need you to cut this rope
I just thought of my sister
Plus it hurts my throat
Hey there mister
Can I use your phone?
I just thought of my brother
And the silence that we know
I'm the runt of the litter
So much for the afterglow
I just thought of my father
I'm afraid to watch him go
Thanks for the scissors
I really want to go home
I just thought of my mother
I hope she doesn't feel alone

Bug

There are bugs
all around me
every night
they surround me
if they crawl in my mouth
I'll become one
it'll be different
let's give it a run
I'll have more legs
I might be able to fly
I'll die sooner
and no one will cry
I won't have to focus
on the future
I'll be gone in a day
and I'll be deemed as useless
that's just what I want
to live and be forgot
I want to get trapped
and never come back
I'd never get hurt
I'd never have to work
I'd have one thousand eyes
and never see the worst
but I'm not
they never crawled in my mouth
I woke up still a human
I want to get out

And I stood out on your front porch tonight
the clouds were purple and grey in the moonlight
and I talked out loud
like you were still around
and here is what I had to say
I hope I'm doing this right
I wanna live an honest life
I wanna take your advice
I wanna try and do my family right
but between an honest life and what I am
there is a sea
and Lily waved on her way to the hospital
I think she died later that night
so I will sing this loud
cause you are not around
and here is what I had to say
I hope I'm doing this right
I wanna live an honest life
I wanna take your advice
I wanna try and do my family right
but between an honest life and what I am
there is a sea

I have been spending all my days
simply withering away
I wouldn't say I'm doing nothing
but I'm certainly not doing something
my friend he said I'd be ok
because the end is among us
he said the preachers they are not coming
he's got blue hair and he is a drummer
and I heard that I was trying to die
so I took myself to the other side
and I said, oh that's not true
but I think when you try and hide
everything that's inside your mind
you become a different you
I woke up so damn late today
thinking this was a mistake
I am not looking for any pity
this is something I carry with me
my friend she said I'd be alright
you just need to get through these nights
she said it's hopefully done coming
she's got tattoos and she lives in the summer
and I heard that I was trying to die
so I took myself to the other side
and I said, oh that's not true
but I think when you try and hide
everything that's inside your mind
you become a different you

Sun Burn

What's so romantic about a flower?
They die if you don't give them a shower
and lord knows I barely ever shower
And what's so great about a day
where the sun shines and you waste away
with sweat dripping down your back
hardly a way to relax
but I am waiting for the time
where I can calm down
and enjoy the sun burning out my eyes
but I don't think it's coming soon
so send me water
and I don't think that I am fit for these plans
but you constanttly tell me how important I am
that means alot to me does it mean alot to you?
i hope like hell this all gets through
and I am waiting for the time
where I can calm down
and enjoy the sun burning out my eyes
but I don't think it's coming soon
so send me water
I'll try to help those flowers bloom

I walked up right to the cross
you had your words and hands at a loss
I won't sacrifice for you
I am not god
so I do not choose
you screamed and screamed
and begged and pleaded
never seen a man so defeated
I watched the blood run down your arms
and I walked away when you wanted a song
we all have thoughts, yes we do
I got the same as you
cause a human dehumanized ain't the truth
I understand your need for life
so I watched you die
