This year's been so fucked so far
Living in fear, feeling like Damocles
Hanging in by a hair
Waiting for the next shoe to drop on me
And man, more than once
I've just about given up
I've held my life in my hands
It was heavy and cold
And so easily sold
(And it felt good to know there's a plan.)
This year's felt so fucking long
Three months of shit feels like years going by
And I'm just fuckin' sick
Of seeing so much of what I love die
"Don't give up! 'Cos this'll pass
The way that you're feeling won't last!"
And I guess it's so, 'cos Jesus Fuck knows
That the good times went by so fast
And man, more than once
I've just about given up
I've held my life in my hands
January sucked
February? Fuck it
March is building up
As I'm waiting for April to come back

Tempting Fate

How does it feel to see your tattoo in the mirror?
Does it make you sorry for something that you've lost?
Or do you make up a new meaning for it?
One's got nothin' to do with me
A past that's paid without the thought of cost
When he saw it for the first time, did you tell him the story
Of a love much stronger than y'all will ever know
And in the morning when you're pickin' out your outfit
Do you pick out somethin' so it doesn't show?
'Cos the day that we got them I'll admit my superstition
A love tattoo is always tempting fate
A dare made to the universe to try to pull these two apart
A dare the universe will always take
But man, we felt like we were fuckin' bulletproof in those days
Riding something bigger than us two
So what do you think now, after it's all tumbled down?
How does it feel to look at your tattoo?

Dogs Just Wanna Sleep

It feels alright doin' nothin' with you
So fuckin' comfortable
All I wanna do
After a long day
Not workin' for a living
This world holds a grudge
This couch is so forgiving
This gravity
It pulls me down
I'm going under again, sweet suffocation
My lips are turning blue
This smile never leaves 'em
Some kind of suicide
A life of desperation
So desperately content
With this asphyxiation
How am I here again?
After I said I'd never
Never let it go
I's gonna live forever
But living's so much work
Life is hard and tiring
These dogs just wanna sleep
And that seems so inspiring

I hate myself for hating that you're happy
I hate myself for hoping you're not in love
And if you are, I hate myself for wanting you to suffer
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
I hate myself for hoping he's an asshole
I hate myself for hoping he'll break your heart
I hate myself for thinking maybe he could push you around
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
I hate myself for thinking about hurting him
I hate that it would come into my brain
I hate myself for feeling better knowing you will fuck him up
Just a little bit
More than a little bit
I hate myself for wanting you to feel bad
I hate myself for trying to sow regret
I guess that I'm just hoping that you'll tell me that you miss me
Just a little bit

American Spirit Seance

Drove by the mansion yesterday
Guess the car just knew the way
I saw your ghost out on the lawn
Spirit smoke was rising up, floating on...
And so I lit one too
In some fucked up way, I felt closer to you
Now every time I step outside
My death is keeping you alive
And I know what my friends say
"That motherfucker's in a bad way"
But I need something to cling to
This rising wraith is all that's left of you
And so I lit one too
In some fucked up way, I felt closer to you
Now every time I step outside
My death is keeping you alive
So tell me, do you think of moving on?
Will you stay in fear, or come back home?
What will your final resting place be?
Will you speak in smoke and tell me?
So tell me, do you think of moving on?
Will you stay in fear, or come back home?
What will your final resting place be?
Will you speak in smoke and tell me?

If I live to be a hundred I may never understand
How you can live like sheep and cattle yet still claim the soul of man
We are doomed to meet in battle for the conscience of this land
I pray to empty skies when I think of days to come
There are few now who remember days when courage was the rule
We've been weaned on flags and pledges from the master's church and school
We've grown dull around the edges like so many trusty tools
I pray to empty skies this battle may be won
We'll find freedom from the burdens we've been shackled with from birth
When we banish gods from skies and bosses from the earth
Well, you know you're being driven and you know who holds the reins
But you accept that this is your lot as you swallow all the pain
You pray that you ain't forgot when sweet Jesus comes again
And pray to empty skies for heaven's clarion call
You offer supplication for the strength to pull you through
But when you get down on your knees then the bosses prey on you
You pay your weekly fees, your salvation to renew
And pray to empty skies to come and save us all
We'll find freedom from the burdens we've been shackled with from birth
When we banish gods from skies and bosses from the earth
Well, I bet that they are sure today that God is on their side
With wealth and power hallowed by the tears they've never cried
It wasn't their land that went fallow or their own sons that died
These empty skies won't open up to save their skins
'Cos there'll be a time of reckoning, when all your sins are known
And the kindness you receive will match the kindness you have shown
And I bet that you believe it'll come from God's own holy throne
You'll be disabused of that thought in the end
We'll find freedom from the burdens we've been shackled with from birth
When we banish gods from skies and bosses from the earth
We'll find freedom from the burdens we've been shackled with from birth
When we banish gods from skies and capitalists from the earth
