An arsonist falls asleep with his cigarette
Still lit
If I wasn't so drunk I could've
Aw shit
Done something about
This
Let's go outside and watch our memories die
The world is ice but the fire is oh so nice
Let's drink and watch it burn
Use an empty coffee can as an urn
Let's go outside and watch out memories die
The world is ice but the fire is oh so nice
The fire is oh so nice
The fire is oh so An arsonist falls asleep with his cigarette
Still lit
If I wasn't so drunk I could've
Aw shit
Done something about
This
Let's go outside and watch our memories die
The world is ice but the fire is oh so nice
Let's drink and watch it burn
Use an empty coffee can as an urn
Let's go outside and watch out memories die
The world is ice but the fire is oh so nice
The fire is oh so nice
The fire is oh so

Happy New Year

So good so far
You're drunk at the bar
Taking photos of people you know
Making memories for a while
You get to keep them and leave with a smile
And I, I think I like you
And I, I think I like you
You're too drunk now
The ball hits the ground
Happy New Year
You get a few here to do too much
Or not enough I'm sure
You've got the right
You've got the right stuff
And I, I think I like you
And I, I think I like you
And I, I think I like you
And I, I think I like you

The Spotless Mind

I will erase you
Not that I want to
It's just dementia runs in my family
And it's fucking scaring me
I will erase you
Not that I want to
Every day we spent in bed
Every stupid song you got stuck
In my head
Every picture you took
Every book you recommended
We were broke
But we loved to pretend that
Spending all our money made it okay
I will erase you
Not that I want to
It's just dementia runs in my family
And it's fucking scaring me
I will erase you
Not that I want to
Every breakfast in the kitchen
All my nagging and my bitchin'
Inside jokes, sharing smokes
All those poems that you wrote
My cat and your cat going on cat dates
I loved your place but hated your roommates
I will erase you
Not that I want to
It's just dementia runs in my family
And it's fucking scaring me

Broken Mirror

Out the door
I'm always running
And I'm broke
Ain't got no money
I need a smoke
Can you bum me
And I'm a joke
Ain't it funny
Ain't it?
And I've been thinking
Could you love me
I've been tripping and stumbling
I ain't been drinking
Think I'm falling
Think I'm falling and
My future is a broken mirror what am I going to do
She's so put together if you cut her bet she's bleeding glue
And I don't think I ever, ever, ever learned how to love
Oh I was too caught up in having fun
I like your looks
I think you're pretty
I like your jokes
I think you're funny
I like that song
You're always humming
You're always humming
And I've been thinking
Could you love me
I've been tripping and stumbling
I ain't been drinking
Think I'm falling
Think I'm falling and
My future is a broken mirror what am I going to do
She's so put together if you cut her bet she's bleeding glue
And I don't think I ever, ever, ever learned how to love
Oh I was too caught up in having fun

Talking Nothing
02:24

Woke up, felt awful
Made a pot full
Tripped on the tapes and VCR
We left out on the hardwood floor
Laying on a mattress no boxspring
When we talk we talk about nothing
Laying on a mattress no boxspring
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about
Nothing
I guess the TVs broken
You must be fucking joking
Julie laughed until choking
I guess we really should quit smoking
Laying on a mattress no boxspring
When we talk we talk about nothing
Laying on a mattress no boxspring
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about
Nothing
Laying on a mattress no boxspring
When we talk we talk about nothing
Laying on a mattress no boxspring
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about nothing
When we talk we talk about
Nothing

Cheap beer and better music
I'll be there I wish you weren't using
I think that's fair too bad life's not
Empty your pockets all that you've got
Cigarette butts and heroin needles
Sit in your room with the Beatles
Panic attacks under your bed
Stuck in your head when she said
All that you know you learned from TV shows
All that you know you learned from TV shows
And it shows
And it shows
Julie Jumpercables
Body parts on coffee tables
Julie Jumpercables
You shouldn't do it just because you're able
Julie, Julie
Please let this boy die
Please let this boy
Julie Jumpercables
Body parts on coffee tables

You shouldn't do it just because you're able

Please let this boy die
Please let this boy die
Die, Die, Die, Die

My Best
02:35

|

Tangled up, sweating in bedsheets
Wake up stepping on glass, oh my
Swallowing toothpaste, getting soap in the eye
Oh no
Burning my breakfast
Ain't returning no messages
I guess this is my best
This is all I've got
Oh my
Oh no
Oh my
Oh no no
No, no, no, no, no, no
And now I'm drinking too much
And I'm talking too loud
Am I being too charming
Am I making you proud?
Burning my bridges
Ain't returning no messages
I guess this is my best
This is all I've got
Oh my
Oh no
Oh my
Oh no no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Oh my
Oh no
Oh my
Oh no

Pretty Too

I see you walking down the street
You look like somebody I'd like to meet
You look cool
Where do you go to school
You look cool
Where do you go to school
I wish I was just like you
Wish I was pretty too
Wish I could do half the things that you know how to
Can I have some of your time?
Cause I've been waste, waste, wasting all of mine
If you find some time I'd like to make it mine
If you find some time I'd like to make it
I wish I was just like you
Wish I was pretty too
Wish I could do half the things that you know how to
Ain't it strange how things change
I used to not even know your name
Now I can't get you off of my brain, brain, brain
Now I can't get you off of my brain, brain, brain
I wish I was just like you
Wish I was pretty too
Wish I could do half the things that you know how to
wish I was just like you
Wish I was pretty too
Wish I could do half the things that you know how to do

Last Night
02:54

|

You and me are sitting on your windowsill
It's four and you work in the morning
It's cold as shit and you suggest we should crawl into bed
But that's so boring
You said pour out your empty heart, pour out your empty head
But that's so boring
Last night I wanted to die
Oh I don't know
But I guess I'm alright
You and me are laying in your bed
It's twelve you decide to call in
Suddenly we're stumbling down the street so we can eat
But that's so boring
An empty cup, an empty cup, another empty cup
But that's so boring
Last night I wanted to die
Oh I don't know
But I guess I'm alright
