Getting out of your car
Thighs stuck to the leather seats
and to some pretty girl
Grab bags
grab phone
Grab your bestfriend and hold her tighter than a new mother holds an infant
walk slowly on the asphalt to the apartment doors
have some shirtless guy run out of the door
looking for alcohol
like bees look for pollen
walk up the rusting grate stairs, two at a time
hear the white noise of your friend talking
nod and smile
enter the dimly florescent hallway and hear restless chatter
see the blood stain on the wall
open the door

and thats where I leave you

I'm not mute, as far as I can tell
And even then I signed the words into your skin
But you signed back with one hand on my throat and the other on my hip
I tried to use my jagged teeth as a fast escape
But that just earned me a no
(Not the no I wanted)
and as I tried to say no you gripped my hair and pushed your "yes" farther down my throat
apparently gaging turns you on
You pushed me on a wall and my hat came off with my dignity
and my sanity
I kept muttering no
and I didn't cry so I started laughing
So you went harder grinding me on you
And I said no
I said no
And I looked over and there was a girl sleeping
I tried to speak louder
But nothing could wake her from inebriated dreams
till someone came in and I ran out of the room
leaving my hat
with my sanity
I cant finish this, and it doesn't sit right in my stomache

Whatever your name was
Thats what they called you
You had some tattoo on the back of your neck
It was a star and some roses I think
I gave you forty dollars
and you gave me alcohol
You got me drunk
I poured a cup and mixed it up
and drank till I was spinning
on the tip of your tongue and you were thirty miles away when we were thirty centimeters apart
And you did not flinch when I accidentally burned you with my smoke
You just smiled
and I took a shot of your ***
And I chugged the rest of you beer
You left me faster than I could come down
and All I Want Is Bones?
I'm looking for a guy and I can tell he's probably not on here but I fell in love with bones.

Keep yourself.
Take it much further.
Punish the hammer.
Dance on the ledges.
Increase your wedges.
Eat the pie.
Eat the pie.
Eat yourself whole.
Grace the covers.
Take a holiday for granted.
Don't act like you didn't earn it.
You are the last of a dying breed.
You are the start of a coming race.
You are the zenith of civilized humans.
Culture your neighbors.
Show them behaviors.
Actions are louder,
Especially dynamite,
But you know to listen.

No one told me what going to a party would be like
No one told me my heart would feel like fire
and every limb would become numb
No one told me I would ride in a strangers car
Packed with new, and old friends
No one told me the five minute walk up the stairs would feel like walking on a cloud
No one told me I would drop twenty for my bestfriend to drop acid
Or forty to get a fifth of ***** and a fifth of whisky from a stranger
Whose number I would drunkenly get wrong
No one told me I would make out with a stranger in  Backroom
No one told me I would leave my favorite hat there
No one told me I would drink my whole fifth
or that my friend would try to drink hers,
and end up puking all night
I was never told I would not be able to support my body at three in the morning
No one told me I would pass out on a chair for thirty minutes
No one told me I would try to sober my friend up
While I was still drunk
No one told me I was going to have the worst hangover of my life
No one told me I would wake up the next morning with hickies on my neck
and bruises on my hips
No one told me I was going to want to do it again every night
I went to my first party and I got wasted, I still haven't fully recovered.
