Guess I’m winding up for a shot at this again Got good luck on the cuts of my hands Wouldn’t bleed enough so I’m stuck where I am Now wasted days have dug a grave Half dug a grave, not all the way What do you say, we plant some succulents instead Half dug a grave, not all the way The other day, we had time to fix what’s in my head Guess I’m winding up for a shot at this again Never made enough couldn’t fill the stands Ifs that’s all you got tie the ribbon to the fan Best dress the mess that made a grave Half dug a grave, not all the way What do you say, we plant some succulents instead Half dug a grave, not all the way The other day, we had time to fix what’s in my head Get back into the foreground, it’s who you are now Guess I’m winding up for a shot at this again

Holed up, shoveled in, talking torture Cornered, caving in, who built this fortress Cause I don’t really want to be this constant drag who kills the meaning But they say loving’s honesty and these mere thoughts could kill the evening Cradled, coffined in, warm and cozy Stabled, for the storm, slowly forming Still close my eyes and grit my teeth while the conversation’s closing But they say loving’s honesty and these mere thoughts could kill the evening Bare bones you’re bare bone barely beyond Bare bones just bare bones flesh your trying on Tying some limbs down now there’s screaming Roses, scattered around, romantic evening Cause I don’t really want to be this constant plague that’s gets infected But they lovings honesty and these mere thoughts have stopped the evening Bare bone you’re bare bone barely beyond Bare bones just bare bones flesh your trying on

Go for the gold, go for the doping Push out the poor make sure to withdraw those needles for physicals They lost a war; invite them anyway Who cares what the losers say, the refs called it that way Set the stage, dress the vague, insinuate that the tidal wave Had a voice, had a heart, to pick which place to flood and tear apart Oh oh oh a figure 8, skating in place, an endless wait x2 Go for the gold, go for the doping Pay attention to the skin deciding who might win Raise a hand in camaraderie, it’s no coincidence, there’s similarities Rest assured the headstones were procured Just in time to sprint across the final finish line Black September a black salute A winner on their hands and knees begging not to shoot Oh oh oh a figure 8, skating in place, an endless wait.x5

Mother I need your help right now John Taffer won’t stop screaming Gonna take away my bikini bar And leave me with my demons Oh John give me one more chance Oh John I’ll do anything you ask

Well when the snow fell Early waking Like a doorbell when the ghosts rush in Its a calm soul when it’s sleeping Then the clouds clear and those ghosts go home Just pure shit’s all I’ve been talking Scared to admit what’s really going wrong And that’s most folks as soon as they look desperate, we’re ready to deflect it, turn it into a joke Die laughing, Die laughing bet I will Die early don’t think you could tell God made it, we saved it, whatever you believe Man killed us, mans a god made machine We made it, God saved it, whatever you believe God killed us gods a man made machine

My relationship with my parents is being cast on live TV And everything I’m scared of is being yelled and thrown back at me I’m feeling so embarrassed I let this get so out of hand Just a little rehab, a fix up and we’ll be better then

Who out of us, is gonna live the longest Have a guilty conscious bout still being here Who out of us, is gonna stop the madness Have a box of matches, that get set a flame Who out of us, can keep a secret Not bare to repeat it when your hands get tied And who out of us, can barely stand it The constant fanfare of what winners like Cut a tree, make a home, solid grounds much more suitable Hang a frame, fix the lights, set a trap for some kind of normal life And who out of us is an alcoholic A medicated wallet trying to buy your time Who out of us is a wingless pilot Some gambling tyrant of your entire life And who out of us is a one more thing Before the bell it rings and ends it all Cut a tree, make a home, solid grounds much more suitable Hang a frame, fix the lights, set a trap for some kind of normal life
