Adapter? 03:26
Started off innocently enough, Just holding hands and acting tough. It doesn’t count if we’re both drunk. Four years of wasted energy, You’ve broken hearts but not the one in me. It’s not my fault, if you don’t know how to handle yourself. And you never can express yourself. And fuck you for being there 24/7 Then disappearing without an explanation I shouldn’t even say this out loud. I tricked myself, I wished for it. Your ego must be such a weight. There’s never been two musicians with such awful timing, You’d made your choice before we’d even met.

She said “it doesn’t matter” She said ““things will get better” When you look at me, please don’t look at me in that way. He said “show me what you wanna do”, He said “let me get a feel for you” When you touch my hand it’s like a rush of blood to the head You act like you know it all but it’s just a facade, I am true to myself and that’s just as bad. They say ”let’s just forget it” They say “you shouldn’t sweat it” Oh don’t lecture me, please don’t tell me how it should be. I think I feel much better, he said “I never wanna see you again” But that’s fine with me, I was using you anyway You act like you know it all but it’s just a facade, I am true to myself and that’s just as bad.

Bruxism 04:27
Could someone please, break my fucking jaw? Pull it straight from my skull? Do you think the pain would be sharp or increasingly dull? Just like the moon's ever present in LA, The chemicals are always in my blood stream. Just like your mood ever changing day-to-day Vivid nightmares, always dreaming the same dream. You, me, a plane falling from the sky. Me, a visit from another. Is it me? Or my anxiety? A symptom of a complicated society. I got up, and fucked it all up while I was still asleep. And when I wake up? I have to do it all again. Well maybe I could just stop and breathe? Well you'd fucking think so... Do you think the pain would dissipate If I only learned to relax? Open your mouth, let the words fall out. No one's listening anyway, do what you want, put yourself first. Vivid daydreams never reflect reality. You, me, a plane falling from the sky. Me, a visit from another.

I woke up in a sweat, I've been dreaming of your flesh again. Even then. Your words don't make much sense of anything. Of you. Of me, or anything. I just wish I could breathe you in, so on the days when you're not around. It'd be like you were by my side. I want this forever. I've been walking home from the station after work, Through the town where you kissed me a hundred times. Sipping whiskey from a coca cola bottle on my own. I can't make much sense of anything.

No Whiskey 04:13
Inside, waiting for my ride or die. I've wasted half my night, thinking of the stupid shit I said to you. And I keep re-living that night you took me to the side But words I could not find. I just wanted to tell you. You make me feel, like I feel- when I hear "Cortez the Killer" or "Blinded by the Light" You make everything alright. And tonight, I'm really not feeling his vibe. No Whiskey and no ice. Quietly waiting to die. I just wanted to tell you. If I said that I felt fine most of the time. That would be a lie. A lie. A lie.
