100 Lives

I want to have 100 lives
I want to have 100 loves
What's that animal sleeping in your chest?
Is it the same as the one in my blood-illed guts?
Does it want to have 100 lives?
Does it want to have 100 loves?
What's that animal sleeping in your chest?
Does it keep you up at night the way that mine does?
Does it want to have 100 lives?
Does it want to know 100 loves?
Break my mind into one hundred pieces
I fall in love with everyone I see and
It's not about sex it's not about possession
It's a uncontrolled obsession
I can tell there's a world just outside my skin
But it's always just beyond my fingertips
I want to know what it is to be known
I want to know all the lives that aren't my own
I want to find what I can't define
I want to know what it is to be known
I want to know all the separate worlds we each live in side by side

Can the world let me punk?
Make Art Like Your Parents Are Dead!
I wanna use my brain
I wanna use my pain
To make them both go away.
I wanna feel no pain
I wanna feel no shame
When my love is on display.
Where does your fear lie?
Is it hidden away?
Or is right by your side?
Does it never go away?
I'll grab mine by the collar
And you do the same
We'll drag them into the light
And watch them burn them away
Where does your fear lie?
Is it hidden away?
Or is right by your side?
Does it never go away?
If you worry like I do
That you'll never turn gray
Then what we hold back
What gets in our way
Make Art Like All Your Friends Are Dead!
I wanna use my brain
I wanna use my pain
To make them both go away.
I wanna feel no pain
I wanna feel no shame
When my soul is here on display.
Make Art Like Your Parents Are Dead!
Make Art Like All Your Friends Are Dead!

Crowned

There ain't nothing in the world to put the breaks on your whole life like the weight of your whole life.
In those sleepless nights you can't escape.
All those days you can't stay awake.
Because you've taken all you can take.
Crowned
Drowned
I drew a little crown for your head.
Drawn with the ashes of the dead: those dead years we killed we could have lived instead.
Are you tired or were you crying?
What's grayer your eyes or your eyelids?
Sometimes my life feels a lot like dying.
Crowned
Drowned

Wreckage

My whole life I'd see of a man the color of blood
Usually deep at night with my fever running high
I would tumble down a road the color of The Flood
A road that moved in a snake time
That's the road that took me away from church
That's the same road that took me home
Blackberry breath, where did you go?
What did I forget that you knew in your bones?
When did the thorns grow so thick?
And when did we all become this sick?
When I go home it's just a series of roads
A lost fort made of one big stone
I don't know these people and I never did
I can see now what they saw then
Never wanted to leave, never could have stayed
They pushed me out as fast as I could run away
Never wanted to leave, never could have stayed
They pushed me out as fast as I could run away wild
Wild to be wreckage forever.

Tension

I get my tension in my shoulders
I get so sore in my brain
So some of that you won't be able to just massage away
After 21 years the pills still won't take
Maybe after 38 years this is just my time to break
Give me a televised life so my words can always be right
It costs less to hire a writer than to see a shrink or a doctor
But I can barely memorize all my stupid rhyming lines
How could anyone expect me to say the right thing every day of my whole life?
This is what a life looks like when you've been scared for 24 years
This is how your life looks when everything you do is directed by fear
Well You've looked to me for answers and you've turned to me for love
But I'm afraid of questions and power makes me run

I get so disgusted when you say things like "She was wasted"
I get so disgusted when I hear you say "She was half asleep"
Don't tell me she said yes before
She didn't say yes then
No one needs to hear your excuses
She didn't say yes then
It's not hard to define
It's clear you crossed a line
It's fucking pathetic that this is how you define being a man
It's really sad that this is what you think it means to be a man
She ignored you: That's how she said No
She didn't write you back: That's how she said No
She said Fuck Off: That's how she said No
She had had a few: That's a No
If you think she was asleep: That's how she said No
If she said anything but Yes: That means No
And she can change her mind and you take that as No
Next time think with your heart first then you'll already know

You've been walking all over creation using love as a disguise for all of your hate and I don't know what happened to you when you were young to make your heart deaf to those words on your tongue.
