lyrics

I bit hard into the pavement
and shattered all 20 remaining teeth
My tongue retreated behind my uvula
To hold back the oncoming scream
and it's a sham, and it's a shame
When they tell you that you don't have to bleed
Because I've been trucking along for a decade
But haven't found anything good to sing

and you saw me at the restaurant
Wiping my runny nose on my sleeve
I ordered apple juice and cried my heart out
When it spilled all around my feet
and it's a shakedown, it's union busting
To get me to conjure up anything
I want isolation more than friendship,
Degradation over anything fucking green

Because I don't wanna make a hit song, I just wanna kill me
and I don't wanna find the right chords, I just wanna die
and I hate it when I talk to you and you tell me you're crazier than me
I'm not competing for "Most Fucked Up Little Guy"

I clicked the chains around the cinder blocks
and I walked into the creek
The reason your mother's fucking afraid of you
and the reason your father drinks
and it's a goal, and it's a moving goal post
and it's a grocery list of needs
It started out with knives and pens
and found it's way beneath the kitchen sink
So please fucking spare me speeches of entitlement
and please spare me artistry
I'm a fucking home invasion, holding everyone hostage
With a shotgun, making you watch me sing
Because it's a movie, and it's a talk show
Life changing decisions before you can blink
My stomach burns and I can't stop crying
I can't stop shaking, i can't fucking think

and I don't wanna think in melodies, I just want the ending
and I don't wanna make something rhyme, I just need you to end me
and I hate it when you hear these words and you think, "This kid's really got it"
This isn't a song, this is a red siren that won't stop flashing
