Kill Me Now

Just come on over
Over for a bit tonight
I know you’re real busy but
I like the way your smile make my heart pound
So I’ve got to see you now
Shotgun into my throat
Leave me with the taste of pity, you know
After you said I was your guy
Pulled the trigger while you smiled
Leaving me thinking on the floor, OW!
[Chorus]
Kill me now
Now
Please promise to put me down
Kill me now
Just, one, last, breath
And I’ll fall flat, yeah
Cause you don’t see any frowns
Oh, please just kill me now
Give me a kiss goodbye
And a wink from your eye
Kill me now
I’ll take your orders
Take them as I start to bow
I can’t see nothing but the gleam of your crown
I see right through you
I see right through your lies
See right through that smile
Oh, and every alibi
And I can’t breathe anymore
Should’ve walked right out the door
But I clung to you instead
Ain’t got a problem with that
I just hate that I’m sad
[Chorus]
What flipped me over?
What made me regret this game?
Every time I try to end
I see the tears on your face
If it’s a noose, or a knife, gun, car, or bike
Just make sure I’m in pain
I just want you to make me feel the same…
Kill me now
Now…
Just promise to put me down
Kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now!
[Chorus]

GROUND ZERO
03:13

I didn’t judge you
Didn’t judge you like that, I just
Sat there and smiled with a knife in my back
Guess that’s me:
Jaded beyond belief
Just let me be
Just let me be
I can’t sleep with you humming in my ear
I can’t walk when you’re makin’ me sprint to the finish line
Of our own ground zero
Maybe I’m dreamin’...
Oh baby
It’s easy to boast
All night
While talking to a ghost
Between you and I
It’s just mystery
So tune them out and wave them off
Like bad TV
Shut them off
Shut them off
Giving up before you try
Blinded by every vice
Too many people say they’re living it up
Too many people like the foreplay but they don’t give a fuck
And that’s me:
Jaded beyond belief
Just wanna sleep
Just wanna sleep
Keep me inside your tune
And I will sing about you
But is it for you or me?
Cuz we’ve got no memories
Between you and I
It’s all about me
Soon as you tuned me out and waved me off
Maybe I’m…
Dreamin’
Shut me off
Shut me off
Giving up before you try
Never being satisfied

Let's Never Talk
02:49

Why do you bum her out?
Explicitly, your heart is open but
You’re dockin’ boats from sea to sea
Love isn’t free
But sadness is priceless
Just take it from me
Then as you start to grow older
Your feet start gettin’ colder
And your consciousness seems
Bolder as the mold starts to break
Maybe this love was a mistake?
Livin’ in different states
When your hearts were already
Light years away
And so you think to yourself:
“Am I an asshole?
Or am I just an obligation you have sometimes?
I think for the weather
It would be better
If we never talk...”
Why do you always doubt
Her intentions confound
When you’re never really even around
You’re just a clown
And when you told her you loved her
Started bringin’ her down
So as you start to grow older
Your feet start gettin’ colder
And your consciousness seems
Bolder as the mold starts to break
Maybe this love was a mistake?
Livin’ in different states
When your hearts were already
Light years away
And so you think to yourself:
“Am I an asshole?
Or am I just an obligation you have sometimes?
I think for the weather
It would be better
If we never talk...”
I said I think for the weather
It would be better
If we never talk…”

Lose the Feeling

These days it's hard for me to look in the mirror
It's hard to say what's on my mind
I'm hoping you might give me a chance to say this right
We know it's over now and I don't want you to say it
But it's on our minds so I'll go ahead and say it
Or should I hold my mouth?
Then she asks me what I'm thinking
I think you know by now that we're miscommunicating
I'm just thinkin' aloud and I really shouldn't say it
But we're older now I can tell that's what you're thinkin'
All those tear drops you cry
Make your eyes look like they're beggin’ "please"
Don't like the feelin' so we bury it, bury it
Don't like the feelin' but there's no spark to re-ignite
Don't like the feelin' so we bury it, bury it
Don't lose the feelin
Don’t lose the feelin’
It's hard for me to look in the mirror
It's hard to say what's on your mind
I hope that you might understand my words this time
You know it's over now and I don't want you to say it
But it's on our minds so I'll go ahead and say it
Or should I hold my mouth?
Then she asks me what I’m thinkin’
I think we know by now that we're miscommunicating
I'm just thinkin' aloud and I really shouldn't say it
But we're older now I can tell that's what you're thinkin'
All those teardrops you cry
Just make your eyes look like they're begging "please"

Night Rifles

Bubbling out of my head
A distant shadow from my bed
A silhouette
A gleam from the moon
A hairpin lights up the room
The silhouette grows with the passing time
Cogs in my head won’t stop spinning around
Voices on voices echo through my mind
One stands out and my temples pound
See a smile
But tears, oh
Those faded eyes
You didn’t say
Why’d you go?
You’re not here when I need you most
Depressed pillows in the corner
Crackles from the freezer
Echoing
Settling
Forever in just an hour
Lips move in patterns I’ve seen before
Shrouded in endless beauty
Blue leaks in and bleeds on the floor
As you float down to me
See a smile,
But tears, oh
Those faded eyes
You didn’t stay
Why’d you go?
You’re not here when I need you most
At least for awhile
You were mine
Now you’re a memory I can’t find
From the ground to the ceiling
The mold grows and I lose feeling
Sleep won’t come
I am sweating
Wide awake, but still I’m dreaming
Weeping noises from the other room
Follow the sound and open the door
Faces of unknown people gloom
Drop my heart on the floor
See a smile
But tears, oh
Those faded eyes
You didn’t stay,
Why’d you go?
You’re not here when I need you most
Staring back
With the moon, you glow
But from years ago

Forever

Forever isn't ever enough
Nights alone together just to feel better
You'll get all the time that you want, my darlin'
I'll be by your side til you're gone
Fill my arms, they're open
We're living in a dream and I hate waking up
I don' wanna waste our time, there's no fallin' behind
Let's get goin' 'fore we run outta luck
Keep that heart'a hopin'
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm not beggin' for money
I'm prayin' for a future with your hand before I'm lonely again
Cuz there's no knowin' what be comin' ahead
Life has got a way to make you hate it cuz u love it til your friends and famly die while you're lyin' on the inside
Forever isn't ever enough
Nights alone together just to feel better
You'll get all the time that you want, my darlin'
I'll be by your side til you're gone
Kept my eyes open
Head under water, feel it comin'
Time's got me chokin' in her lap, there's no holdin' 'em back
These feelings creepin' into my head
Forever isn't ever enough
Nights alone together just to feel better
You'll get all the time that you want, my darlin'
Forever with you's all I want.

Falling In

I wanna see her smile
But it's been awhile
So I just talk to her ghost
Cuz that's the luxury I have at the most
I don't wanna be her memory
But what happens when you're getting too tired to breathe
Tell myself this distance is what I need
When actually it's keepin' me from getting sleep
It's like
Hitting the ceiling
Of a broken heart
It's simply the feelin' I'm concealin'
When our hearts are miles apart
Is this self-pity or a lack thereof?
She didn't tell me to fall in
