you have your car now

i think my stomach just might eat itself tonight
but i'm not that lucky today
just heap another episode on my back
this mini series can stand it
but i tell you what – you just tape it for me
i'm sick of being the screw up
i'll watch it when i have more time
i swear
just let me fix my popcorn
and find those socks i only wear on cold nights
can't think of a colder time than now
let me hammer down my pride
and scatter my tears and ashes
they belong on my apology
the first of many
i'm sorry
you got ripped off
the day you bought me

untitled

must be millions of songs about losing love
but who writes for the love that was lost?
it’s a hard role to play
holding up the wall
while dicing emotions up to scatter in the wind
can i sing about
thumbing over memories and staring at photos
damn – do you know how many times i’ve read journals
just to cloak myself withthat time
holding back
stopping myself
when you said you loved me
don’t you understand?!?
i HAD to cut
or we would have both kissed the pavement
deny myself for the long run
it sucked – to say the least

but you’ll never know

that’s how the game is played
i guess
i wanted to kiss you that whole day
checkmate

balloon

ice storm night blocking me
nothing compared to the ice in my teeth
yeah – the kind that kills our snow angels
you pull that stunt anymore and i'll do it
oh, i swear
cut and break you with just this
the same one that pulled the chain
i dare you to – just teeter on my expectations one more time
and i'll introduce you to newton
yes – you two will get along just fine
let the pebbles roll across your jagged lips
smooth you out
here's your needle
