your heart is a violent gang
prowling the streets after dark
mine is the bird that once sang
covered in blood & curious marks

when my bird and your gang collide
there isn't an obvious winner
neither regard the rules or, by them, abide
both will eat your family for dinner

jet black boots and thoughts to match
your legs are barbed-wire baseball bats
i never asked if there was a catch
and now my legs are scared little cats

but inside me sleeps a bomb
it doesn't tick, but it's always rolling
like a panzer tank emitting a sad song
i press a button and we both go strolling
everything is nothing but everything is showing

even when your skin is bleeding and melting
i'll be there to hold you while you're crying
as the sky is lit ablaze and the atmosphere caves in
you and i will watch, so helpless, as we repent for our sins
never thought, never hoped it would come to this
but when we should've been fighting you just gave me a kiss

the bomb doesn't know love
it doesn't want to
the powers that be don't believe in hugs
you know it's true
everything will be gone, from you to your bed bugs
but don't be blue

when heads get hot an the buttons are pressed
all will disintegrate, there will be nothing left
they say their trying their best but
underneath they really couldn't give a ****
if a few die here and there, no one cares
it's not them, so it's not their cross to bear

"i wanna stare at the tears, how they watered yr years..."*

how you laid there and smiled up
up at me, smiling too, while your heart was shut
i didn't get it at first, but now i do
your words trembled and were untrue
never thought i'd live to say i loved
but i did, and now i see from above

**** everything, lets just listen and lay here
stop talking and listen to the sobs in the cheers
you used to jump on me so fast
but all that fun never lasts
then i saw you walking with him
and my light grew dim

you never made yourself out to be
what you really are, just like me
and i hate that, i really resent it
i can't take that, i couldn't recommend it
the reasons why we were washed ashore together
are getting clearer as the maybes turn to nevers

the backs of your legs
are white as the clouds
the little curl at the corner of your mouth begs
the words you say are soft, yet loud
and now i'm cracking like an egg

a stupid sucker sailing disgraced seas
finishing every sentence with thank you's and pleases
i never knew i'd grow to be so **** meek
but then again they say i'll inherit the earth next week

troubles and failures are piled and bunched
eating stale potato chips for breakfast and lunch
i feel like i'll never be able to get up
but then again they say i'll inherit the earth next month

crank open the hatch and pour down the beer
never got the concept of saying "cheers"
my muddled thoughts are always clouded by useless fears
but then again they say i'll inherit the earth next year

Hailey
The hail is dropping inside you
Barely
Showing through your eyes too
I can't see it in your eyes*

your eyes are deceiving
never showing what you're thinking
mysterious enigmas aren't my forte
though, that game, i've learned to play
i can't see you when i need you
so i just hit the bar to sit with you

and when you complain
with you, i retrace all your rain
tell you to brush it off and run
and to never mind that ****
but we're always in a hole
maybe together we can grow
maybe together we can glow
maybe together we can go
maybe together we can
maybe together we can
maybe together
