All of these pages wasted,
Cause I'm sitting on the next, faded,
Writing about how I'm so jaded,
Would it be a crime if I made it?

I can be bad,
I can be worse,
I'll get cursed,
By God himself,
But I'm not that special,
I'm not that interesting.

Take it easy on yourself.

I'm tidying up this time,
Wrapping it up in a complex line,
Failing to see the internal crime,
Cause there wasn't one, it's fine.

I can be bad,
I can be worse,
I'll get cursed,
By God himself,
But I'm not that special,
I'm not that interesting.

Take it easy on yourself.

Slice me up, down, and sideways,
Pick the rot out from my brain,
I'm diseased, a carnal beast,
A creature, unfolded with gnashing teeth.

Sink my poison fangs,
Into a clear glass jar,
Drain me and my salivary glands,
Keep me on my knees.

I rear my ugly head,
I fall into my own trap,
Spiral until I've hit the bottom,
This tirade of drunken shame.

Sink my poison fangs,
Into a clear glass jar,
Drain me and my salivary glands,
Keep me on my knees.

I'm never what I seem,
I'm a liar and I hate you,
You're a drunken idiot,
Funny that I find the time,
To love your disgusting voice,
I'm my own worst nightmare,
But I've known that since I gained consciousness.

Sink my poison fangs,
Into a clear glass jar,
Drain me and my salivary glands,
Keep me on my knees.

Let’s find a place to park
Just after dark,
And into the night,
We’ll describe our plight.
These streetlights pass me by,
But the time tells us hope is high.

What’s quieter than the breathing,
Is it the graveyard’s heart beating,
Is it the headlights on the pavement,
Or the promises that are spelled ‘patient’?

Beg
I can't shake this hunger,
I just wanna be younger,
Instead I'm torn asunder,
Unhappy in the summer.

Have at thee,
I won't plea,
That's on me,
Please, oh please,
Leave me be.

You’re getting crushed by the boot you lick,
Sent to Hell by the book you thump,
Strung up by the men you defend,
They don't give a **** about you.

You're money,
They're cunning,
With a side of stupid,
You've been struck by cupid.
Yay. Stupid people are entertaining!

We're easy to drown out,
Cause we lack a voice,
Nobody gives a ****,
Why should I forgive it?

I'm not obligated,
You're not educated,
I've seen as we've faded,
Merely seen as pages.

You use our hands,
To sing your hymns,
Place hands on our head,
Pray, "Jesus, save this sin."

I'm not obligated,
You're not educated,
I've seen as we've faded,
Merely seen as pages.

Completely ignored,
If we're not front page news,
For something you think we can't do,
Then we're ghosts again,
Lost in the system.
Deaf people are forgotten.

The left-over warmth from the burning fire,
Embers settle into the charred earth,
In the tender decay of the dying hearth,
They say that I'll soon begin to tire,
But I tell 'em that I'm just getting started.

Until I need to crumble,
I'll stay in your prefrontal,
Until I get into trouble,
I'll let the thunder rumble.
