the skeletons in my closet are all dressed up in the t-shirts of the bands i loved when i was sixteen, and every one is singing a song about how i'll never grow out of the people i used to be, but the colors the the melodies don't fit me anymore.
but i still try them on.

We Bury Our Dead Alive

glitter all around me
stars in the air
whispers all around me
your ashes everywhere
i've become hypersensitive to every single beat in my chest
look in your room now
you're not there
worms chew through your bones now
worms eat your hair
i've become hypersensitive to every single beat in my chest

Drop Out of College
03:39
|

i've got $100,000 underneath my bed
piece of paper in exchange for mountains of debt
and i'd mount it on the wall if i could buy a frame
but the interest demands an extra $20 a day
graduated art school with a business degree
how do ya think it's working out for me?
got three jobs just to pay the rent
while the loan collector takes every last cent
at least i work in my industry
but i'm serving strangers from four to three
till i can afford to have the career
that i paid for with the last four years
maybe i shoulda dropped out of college
came in with wide eyes and misguided hope
left with more anxiety and no way to cope
barely started when i wanted to leave
should've realized that it wasn't for me
did i waste all of my potential
slaving away for a hollow credential?
where's the button? can i hit undo?
if you're not careful, it could happen to you
maybe i shoulda dropped out of college
i was told to follow my dreams
i could be anything i wanted to be
now what i want most is to be debt free
so please give me all of your money
baby, i wish i dropped out of college

Fuck Me Up, Ben Gibbard

you look comfortable on my couch
make yourself at home
you look comfortable on my couch
you're the one i want
at least for now
you are watching them
and they are watching you
and i am watching you
and wondering
what do you see?

Great, Big
02:12

there's a great, big hole in my chest
and it swells, it swells
in your absence
there's a great, big noose around my neck
and you pull, you pull
it tighter
you pull, you pull, you pull, you pull it
tighter
and i can barely breathe
my heart is leaking
i can barely breathe
my heart is leaking
there's a great, big hole in my chest
and you crawl, you crawl
inside
when you need, you need, you need
somewhere to hide

that summer my hair was six different colors
you told me you had found another
person you wanted to call your lover
but still found your way beneath my covers
i bet you still spend all your nights
with milwaukee's finest, pounding back pints
the recycling bin filled with the only blue ribbons
you've earned your whole life
the entire bathtub soaked in bleach
but my skin still won't come clean
tainted in the spots you've touched
scrub and scrub, raw, bleeding, and rough
cover it up under another's design
pretend there's nothing left to hide
like the space where your stomach curved
around my spine
or the place where your hips slipped
and fit into mine
you'll do your best not to get drunk and call me
i'll do my best not to answer

i'm the manic pixie dream girl of your sopping wet dreams
every word that comes out of my mouth is exactly what i mean
i love all your favorite movies, and i love all your favorite shows
and i love it when you spew at me all the useless things you know
i'll never call you out when you're being a dick
or point out all the times your stupid rape jokes made me sick
i'll giggle even when you're not funny at all
i can even make your penis seem as big as you are tall
(she's a cool girl)
i'm just one of the guys
(she's a cool girl)
no, i'm not ever shy
(she's a cool girl)
you'll never see me cry
(she's a cool girl)
i'm just one of the guys
i'm effortlessly pretty, and i don't make a lot of noise
but i can still place in a burping contest with you and all your boys
i can stuff a burger in my mouth without looking like i ate
but i'm just as one dimensional as those other girls you hate
(she's a cool girl)
i'm just one of the guys
(she's a cool girl)
no, i'm not ever shy
(she's a cool girl)
you'll never see me cry
(she's a cool girl)
i'm just one of the guys

Cheap Shots
02:09
|

staring at your body, i didn't know what to say
couldn't count the years since i last saw your face
i was too afraid you'd forget my name
so i just stayed away
cheap shots as i entered the door and
they all pretended that they'd never seen me before
cheap shots afterward at the bar with
semi-distant relatives but we don't relate at all
time kept passing, and you didn't know what to say
so i just stayed away

@ Me Next Time

aim for the peach
that's just out of reach
foolishly believe
that it tastes the sweetest
you don't want it if you can grasp it
you don't want it if you can have it
