if you're having a day

if you’re having a day
on the verge of a breakdown
& you just wanna rage
well i’ll listen until it blows away
& you say everyone’s insane
all out to get you
slamming doors
& chewing too loud
spewing theories about how
the world is going to end
call me up & tell me
every violent thought
that passes by so you can
put them to rest
i guess that’s what they say
you gotta kill or you’ll be killed
well they’re all here to stay
but you’d rather not end up in jail
& you say everyone’s insane
that won’t ever change
tapping pens
& talking too loud
preaching their opinions as if
they were a gift from god
call me up & i can
help you laugh it off
so you can wake up
& give it all you got

i’m dying here
at the celebration
of the year
well i could cave & see the light
or burn everything in sight
i just want to feel alright
tell me how i could calm down
give me ways that i could drown
in this sea of recycled sound
cauterize this paltry wound
the doctor's in the other room
higher than a lost balloon
okay, i'll see you around
i can't stand another second
in this crowd
well i could stay & cause a scene
or go unnoticed as i flee
without leaving any memory
kill the lights & spin me 'round
the underground's got me down
but there's no way i'm striking out
hypnotize my cautious mind
give me only one more try
maybe then i'd feel alive

adrift

i think it’s time
to finally come clean
you’ve gone & wasted
your last breath on me
the lies you tell
the secrets that you keep
the riptide that drags
you out to sea
you’re carried back to shore
i’m left adrift
somehow i’m the one who’s
gotta swim
& once again i’ve fallen victim
to your bait & switch
you’re comfortable, i’ve sunken
soon to be food for the fish
living life the way
it’s done on film
nothing quiet
only time to kill
the clock hits 6
your head hits the cement
the siren lights paint
you pale blue & red
you said you’ll always be on strings
attached to chemicals
& that no matter what
you’ll never get your fill
the sun still rises but it never
takes the time to set
the river flows, the fire burns
i wish we never met

bend

out of sight
i’m out of my mind thinking what
this could’ve been if my head was on right
you’re a crutch
i’m in a rush to get back home
& i stumble leaving us both in the cold
this time i swear i’m on the mend
try to break but i just bend
wish you could stay but i know
that would mean the end
oh i just don’t know how to cope
dig myself into a hole
& every day the flowers
bloom a little more
but i can’t get myself out of the door
treadmill love
legs going numb trying to keep up
as intoxicating as it is noxious
burning sun
heart’s unplugged, fingers undone
& all the dead skin we shed swept under the rug
you tell me that you’re on the mend
try to break but you just bend
& now you try to say
i wouldn’t understand
oh i just don’t know how to cope
i need some faith that i can hold
& every day the colours
bleed a little more
until i’m back to where i was before
