Jesse, are you really gonna take me as I am?
I think you’ll hate me. I’ll ape the dirt until it takes me, breaks me into
Two chords in sequence, defining my moments on screen
Two big thumbs down this talkie is
Too slow, too scripted, the actors all missed all their cues
I clear the room, oh I used to
Seek out a meaning to moments and feelings now I
Lock all my doors, my borders more
Locked down than Fort Knox, all concrete and blood clots
And scabs dressed for show waving their legs too and fro while
Our hairlines are pursued by time
We’ve said our lines
Stage hook creeps its way around your spine marrow
We are blown hollow
To homemade bars
Living off the heat of dying stars
All the blood from the bodies
Will spill out, form the Red Sea
They’ll send crews
To sew us closed
Push us off
Down here we all float
But our hairlines are pursued by time
We’ve said our lines
Stage hook creeps its way around your spine marrow
We are blown hollow
To homemade bars
Filling empty spaces with guitars

Far away from home, didn’t get there on your own two feet
Said I’d stop writing songs about you when you came back to me
But you didn’t, and I still did
I said go back to the place that you’ll call home, but you can’t go back no you can’t go back
Home, it’s the place you wanna go but you can’t go back no you can’t go back, go
And I don’t wanna know what you have left to say
It won’t mean much anyways, ‘cause you are not the same
And I don’t wanna know what you have left to do
I don’t care where you’re going, I don’t belong with you
I don’t belong with you
I said go back to the place that you call home
You left your family for some friends you can’t win this, God forbid, you’re not a kid
You lost your innocence, but I still watch you reminisce as you get expressionless oh
And I’ve been many places and I’ve done stupid things through the thick and the thin and shit your good side still remains
I flushed away the bad times and made myself homesick
Yeah I flushed away the bad times oh
Gone so far away from home, you shout “look, I don’t see”
If home is where the heart is then all you’ve got is me
Straight shots are never easy, God knows it was my first
Surefire for disaster, we turn for the worst
They’ll say, “Look see, age sixteen has no meaning.”
But it’s not that easy
It was a first for me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t wanna know what you have left to say
It won’t mean much anyways, ‘cause you are not the same
I don’t wanna know what you have left to do
I don’t care where you’re going, I don’t belong with you
I don’t wanna know what you have left to say
It won’t mean much anyways, ‘cause you are not the same
I don’t wanna know what you have left to do
I don’t care where you’re going, I don’t belong with you

In the summer and the pre-falls
When we signed ourselves away
And looked back at all our close-calls
Not as lessons but mistakes
And we tied ourselves off from
One another to make it look
Like we’d closed the door behind us
Like we’d never left a mark on
Anything we kept around
[Hearing passing train lullabies]
Talking just to hear a sound
[From porches moving cars]
Everything that I keep down is
[Never thinking where they’re going]
Doubling back to snuff me out
[just wondering where they are]
And if they are nearby
How many minutes would it take to get there?
How deluded and stupid
But good enough to pass the time
Take a hint, get the fuck out and ask yourself
Is this it? Am I just a piece of you and nothing else?
I don’t know if I’m cool with that
Like a stone I am unmoved, fill my letters in
And we tied ourselves off from
One another to make it look
Like we’d closed the door behind us
Like we’d never left a mark on
Anything we kept around
[Hearing passing train lullabies]
Talking just to hear a sound
[From porches moving cars]
Everything that I keep down is
[Never thinking where they’re going]
Doubling back to snuff me out
[just wondering where they are]
And if they are nearby
How many minutes would it take to get there?
How deluded and stupid
But good enough to pass the time
Take a hint, get the fuck out and ask yourself
Is this it? Am I just a piece of you and nothing else?
I don’t know if I’m cool with that
Like a stone I am unmoved, fill my letters in
Everything that I keep down is doubling back to snuff me out
Everything that I keep down is doubling back to snuff me out
Everything that I keep down is doubling back to snuff me out
[Never thinking where they’re going, just wondering where they are]
[Am I just a...Am I just a piece of you and...]
