Bad At Medicine

I’m bad at medicine
you can tell me anything
I want your hand
that you can tell
I’m bad at medicine
I’m bad at listening
about your time with him
so close to the present
it seems so dismal now
you’re great at pretending
that this meant something more
then waking up next to
someone you love
‘cause I’ve got no more feeling in my fingers
I’m bad at medicine
this walk’s taking way too fucking long
I’m bad at swallowing
these pills are challenging
my mind is upside down
lying on hollow ground
‘cause I’ve got no more feeling in my fingers
I’m bad at medicine
this walk’s taking way too fucking long

plug yourself into the crowd that doesn’t care
from the lights above your head’s buried in the ground
I’m way too nice to go home with you now
why can’t you see I’m a waste of fucking time?
and I’ll say there’s nothing left to see here
just a fool wasting time
I’m probably just shaken up
I should probably just read a book
and I’ll say there’s nothing left to see here
just a fool wasting time
in the tub your ghost appears
arms strapped to the side
knees bound, bent, arrested
you let out the deepest sigh
I’m probably just shaken up
I should probably just read a book

Let's Pretend

looking down at your feet and what do you see
under your shoe (it says it all for you)
looking toward the mirror it’s just another smear
it’s what you always feared (it’s your face on the wall
it’s hard for me to pretend that this meant more in the end
or that you were by my side or that we ran out of time
these stitches they won’t heal without a mouth to steal
this book is full of lore (you said it all before)
at work you think you’re free but the wounds were never cleaned
the infection has spread out (your head’s full of doubt)
it’s hard for me to pretend that this meant more in the end
or that you were by my side or that we ran out of time
if you look in the mirror you’ll see the clock on the wall
you’ll see the time it reads:
I said that I wanted you last night
you pretend
I’ll see you in the hospital you’ll grab my arm and pull
and say it’s all your fault (you’ll never heal)
it’s hard for me to pretend that this meant more in the end
or that you were by my side or that we ran out of time

Anniversary Script
03:08
|

|
you called out my heartbeat
and I asked you what do you mean
the apartment was empty
the show went on and on
and we drank all night long
the apartment was empty
it’s your anniversary
the apartment was dead
was there no one there ‘cause
you cannot see what’s right in front of you
the script is just a journey
but the cameras are not set
let’s improvise our actions
let’s play the part to death
but life is not a movie
and we are not the stars
something I learned too hard
and I fell too far
it’s your anniversary
the apartment was dead
was there no one there ‘cause
you cannot see what’s right in front of you
it’s your anniversary

Fuck U Up
04:30

this world aint evil
if you give it a chance
to fuck you up and make you regret
what you had and why they left
the map’s too big for all of this
(see right through me
take what you need)
I can’t see past the looking glass
(push right through it
crawl from the pit)
the world’s all evil
‘cause you’re always an ass
to those you love and those you’re close to
you never relax
the map’s too big for all of this
(see right through me
take what you need)
I can’t see past the looking glass
(push right through it
crawl from the pit)
I’ll leave the door open
so you can come right in
and tear apart the things that I hold
and when the time comes
I hope your time runs out
and all of this was meant for someone else
you’ll cross that bridge when the time comes
(see right through me
take what you need)
you’ll ask jesus if you’re drunk enough
(push right through it
crawl from the pit)
I’ll leave the door open
so you can come right in
and tear apart the things that I hold
and when the time comes
I hope your time runs out
and all of this was meant for someone else
this world aint evil
if you give it a chance
to fuck you up and make you regret
what you had and why they left
(see right through me
take what you need
push right through it
crawl from the pit)
