It Was Death

I don't care the band is fighting
All I care about is crying
And making out with strangers
There was someone else on stage with me last night
It was you
It was Death
Driving to New Orleans with the singer of your favorite band
Nat's showing me the wine drawer in the bathroom of the bandwagon
Begged my astrology app for just one single good morning
Love-sick driving aimless through an entire country
It was you
It was Death
It was you
I don't mind about the pain
A stop sign faded by the rain
We blew right fucking through it
There was someone in my sleeping bag last night
It was you
It was Death
Driving through your home town and it's too dark to see anything
Exhaling the ember to a song we'll never sing again
Checking disconnected lines for just one final good morning
Love-sick driving aimless through an entire country
It was you
It was Death
It was you

Brushing our teeth like vagrant lovers in the streets
The guy in the elevator said we look famous
Took your picture in a bathrobe by the window
Handle pulls from the trunk in Montebello
Barged the pool from the pin that you were given
Even though you couldn't skate it
Wasted driving you to Venice you said
"When I look at you I love you."
Wasting our lives like wine-drunk teenage suicide
You were screaming down the boardwalk, "I said yes!"
Fucked up driving to the airport you said
"When I look at you I love you."
When I look at the W, I hope it burns down

We went down the Walk of Fame
I saw my name on every grave
Bought you a beer and what's-his-name
When I called you weren't answering
We hopped on another plane
Freaking out on Klonopin
Carved our names in wet concrete
I hope that it disintegrates
'Cause maybe then I won't remember
All the holy shit we did together
Now every time I see your name
It sends me to my darkest place
When we went down the Walk of Fame
I saw my name on every grave
Pass holy water back and forth
Walking through the neighborhood
When we saw cops you weren't scared
It left me feeling unprepared
For a shoe box full of holy shit
Your mouth, it tastes like Xanax
Now I don't want you to leave
Send my jagged shell back to the beach
'Cause maybe then I won't remember
All the holy shit we did together
Now every time I see your name
It sends me to my darkest place
Forever Cemetery day
I saw my name on every grave
Now every time I see you face
Wish we were back in your old place
Where the roof caved in right when you split
I wish we were inside of it.

The Ending

Oh I need a friend
To ask if this is normal
Constructed by the herd, I huddle
Still mysterious to me
I want to know the dust
Underneath your strings
Between the bridge and middle pickup
Still mysterious to me
Never quite staying
Never quite leaving
Never quite staying
Never quite leaving
These are my times
My mental breakdown years
The birth of irrational fears
You've got me mowed down
I'm Motown
I'm gone
These kids are anxious about the ending
Never quite staying
Never quite leaving
These kids are anxious about the ending
These kids are anxious about the ending

Baby
I've done all I can
Money doesn't grow for me
If you need me anyway
In the box under your bed, I'll be
Hope one day you can buy everything
You're the glow
And the dark?
That's me
Why are we so in love and then not?
Why are we so in love and then not?
Why are we so in love and then not?
Why are we so in love and then not?
Baby
Why are you
Staring at the moon again?

No Surprise

Bloodshot eyes
Staring into your tail lights
Glowing red with the ghost of you
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Never saw it coming, did we?
But you making leaving look so easy
Burning white, your words on a loop
"I no longer need you."
Man, isn't what they say honest?
Abandoned despite your promise
Forget about two weeks in Paris
You get out, and what do I get?
Two drinks deep
No surprise
You're showing up late again
Broken, blue when I look at you
You've been rehearsing, haven't you?
Man, isn't what they say honest?
Abandoned despite your promise
Blame it on those bottles we kiss
You get closure
I'll get right on it
The void can't love
The void can't love
The void can't love you back
The void can't love
The void can't love
The void can't love you back
The void can't love
The void can't love
The void can't love you back
The void can't love
The void can't love
The void can't love you back
