Another thick red beam

Another black-top town

Another misspelled band burning their own houses down

Another pine-box tomb to fill the cemetery dead

Another star, a touch of orange over purgatory grey

Another void to fill

Just scattered fruitless seed

Another song I wrote that's too long

God knows no one needs

More misguided ghosts, more transparent hands

We'll drop a nickel in our basket and we'll do our riot dance

Beneath another burning sky, behind our parented verses

Scores of catatonic smile covered assholes in a ship

Layered by the school, so you can definitely see

Can you forget these things?

Perfection from the paper thief

Perfection you project on me

Behind the window shades

I'm semi-conscious, already sleepin' in the bed I made

That most unrestful bed, that most original sin

What they act when I let ambition win

I'd hate to let you down

Thrown in a web with all his lies

Drown my dull reflection in a naive expectation arise

Back in the casket park

Back when I felt most free

I few a picture and nowhere God they knew me

So before the wretched men resume

Before their dreaded son appears

My driver's waiting

So let's make one thing crystal clear

You see a fraudulent form

I see a shirt design

I'm no savior of yours and you're no friend of mine

You're no friend of mine

You're no friend of mine

I'm no savior of yours, you're not friend of mine

You see a fraudulent form

I see a shirt design

I'm no savior of yours, you're no friend of mine



I see myself in the reflection of people's eyes

Realizing what they see may not be even close to the image I see in myself

And I think I might actually be more afraid

I feel like they know the story

I saw a bear floating in the river and thought it was a fur coat

Twelve years ago, I stood on the shore

Jumped in and grabbed the coat

And the river is rushing toward a waterfall

And my friend stood at the shore and shouted to let go of the coat

And swim back to land

I let go of the coat but the coat won't let go of me

In any case please let know if there's more I can give you

If nothing comes of it, then just know we are grateful
