"Count Backwards From Three"
These words have been traced and outlined before
But hollow and empty compared to the way I see them now
They dance for me, they sing, they do everything they didn't before
And the cadence carried through our heart beats
I believe that's what give them life and let's them hold on
When before I was a confused boy, now Im certainly older
My hands still shake when they float around you
And my knees still turn to jelly when I look you in the eye
How many times can you watch me crumble, to try and prove to you
And somehow my heart beats harder now, but not all over again
A breath of life shot into me, my veins are still burning
You make me stupid, you make me everything I want to be
"A Modest Proposal"
Crossing my eyes to blur the lines that I wanna step over
Testing the water to find fish biting back for a change
Sinker hits the top, ripples down, turns out theyre dead or hiding
And I glance at the reflection, hoping I'll fall into the mirror
I wanna be a vulgar phrase that grabs your face
Some horrible car wreck full of tragedy that you can see
The point made is indifferent in this case
And the ride is here to take me back to the foothills
When there's happiness found underneath your eyelids
Maybe there's something worth holding on to, still fresh in the pupil
Glance backward again and create this rift in time
Pretend it's all a delusion and you've lost yourself at night
Big words could never hurt more than four letters from the right person
And the deeper the cut, the more those fucking vultures draw near
Still behind those imaginary lines, pretending to be heroes
Looking around to see what part of you they can get their mitts on
So which soles wore through faster walking in circles?
Dancing around the fire so ignored by wind and gasoline
And at the end of the day, are you gonna feel okay?
Poking your bruises to make the pain go away
Dawn the new business suit and briefcase
Fresh from the womb, thanks mom for the shower
