Maybe it’s my fault, but I’ll blame it on you and the beer
That has me smiling from ear to ear
And as me stumbling all over these crumbling words.
I’ve never fallen so god damn hard in love.
Well baby, I’m no saint. I Left my cracked halo behind
And tainted too much of this holy water.
Things got to shitty. Just sit there and try to look pretty
These make up tears really bring out those doll eyes.
Please don’t cry.
We may be crazy, but now it seems that lately
That everything we weren’t is now everything we are.
I can forsake you, but I cannot replace you
We sleep together but we’ve grown far apart.
Can’t take back what I said I’ll just walk home alone instead.
What’s a few spilled drinks between me and my rage?
Our tempers flaring as we keep on staring the fire
In our eyes can light these cigarettes
But I digress.
Forgive me for my drunk words.
Forgive me for those sober thoughts.
We’re fucked up from the ground up.
Please don’t walk away.

Cheesy Love Song

Maybe we had too much to drink
But right now I’m starting to think
That you are the only reason to be close to living.
All I ask is that you come take my hand
And come and join me in this one slow dance
So if this world implodes to oblivion
We will still be spinning.
When we lay down give me reason for me to believe
That you are still my shooting star.
When we make up I promise you that in this cold dark world
I will never be just a memory.
Every little think that you do
Is a reminder that you’re the person who
Keeps my head in the clouds and keeps my feet on the ground.
Not from heaven yet you don’t fall from grace.
Cant you see for this look on my face
I’m twisted and tongue tied from all of these butterflies?
Every second. Every minute
Every hour of the day
Your perfections take my pain away.
Now there’s something that I must say.
I took the time to write you this song
So when the time comes that you sing along
This whole melody is for you to see.

Jaded Is The New Joy

By the time that all of these lights go out
I’ll leave my mark on these city walls.
When I die, bury me under the stage where
I left my blood and heard the call
To be more than just a desert wanderer
Searching for more sands of time.
So by the time when all of these lights go out
I’ll leave my mark on these city walls.
Rain drops and broken bones never felt so much like home
More than these dimly lit city streets paved with fool’s gold.
Wide awake, laying in a vacant bed
But these night terrors still haunt me.
Terrors that cursed me with a clumsy tongue
And all eyes open on me
To see me as another angel with clipped wings
Following the toll of my bell.
Wide awake laying in a vacant bed
But these night terrors still haunt me.
Father, Father may not forgive me
But Mother Mary already did,
The man stands before you
Is a man that won’t once again kid.
Found myself for I never hid.

Drop Dead Hero

He used to think that one day man could fly
But now he sees all men must die.
Slowly slipping in the after life
Just to work a 9 to 5.
What he doesn’t know is that this world
Will try, but it’ll never take
The growing wings that lay upon his back
And cape that was left on his grave.
A shooting star, but he’s focused on when he’ll crash
You may grow up to be
Just a fairy tale in their memories.
“Disposable” is tattooed on your sleeve
But you’re still a hero to me.
She spends her weekdays in the magazines
Looking at the latest scene
Wishing that life was around the bend
Before this world comes to an end.
Imperfectly perfect in every way.
A smile that holds all of her charm
But she’s busy with trying to find
Beauty in the scars on her arm.
Just a lost girl looking for her Neverland.
Seasons change, but silver linings never turn grey.
