Play Dead

You lied straight through your teeth
You made it look so easy
Now your bed's become a simple cemetery
So lay on the floor and mouth all the words in your head out
You say them with ease, cause you know what everything's about
You're an engine, but you never turn
Just play dead now, and let them all learn
It's easy to see, that everyone laughs at you and me
We caught a disease, now I'm gonna burn my rosary
You're an engine, but you never turn
Just play dead now, and let them all learn
I see the letters, but can't make the words

Julian, you don't want your lungs to work so you fill them with smoke
You got tired, pressed a gun to your lips, put a bottle of vodka to work
You were strung out, you were pissing away everything you thought you cared about
It was you and me, and nothing in between
Do you even know what you asked for? Passed out all alone on your wood floor
Last Year, it snowed a foot and a half on the day that you died and it seems forward, that the words left your mouth, and the space in the room would agree
Do you even know what you asked for? Passed out all alone on your wood floor
Learned when you were young that more means more

I called you up at one from a payphone
Spent a nickel and a dime to hear you say "hell no"
I found Jesus in the back of a sedan
Then I lost him in a bar on cookman
All this is is ammunition
All I know is you're what I've been missing
I called you back at three from a cellphone
You said that if I really loved you, you wouldn't be alone
So leave me just the way that you found me
Face down in the dirt with vultures around me
And there's a weight of apathy
And it comes crashing over me
I swear I'm never gonna leave
All this is is ammunition
All this is a contradiction
All I know is you're what I've been missing

Violet Candies

Someone came and spoke to me on Christmas Eve
So now I'll will myself to be what I can be
It shook the Earth, it shakes my knees, and anecdote that no one can believe
A lonely bag of bones, I'm told, is all I'll ever be able to be
You know that all these hounds will surely sniff us out
We're caught from all the blood that's dripping from your mouth
Now every step you take is one you know you stole
Just like the graveyard you grew up in stole your soul
Violet candy speaks to me, it calms you down and helps me get to sleep
A lonely bag of bones, I'm told, is all I'll ever be able to be
Our hearts start skipping beats, we're splitting at the seams, we're trying to hold smoke
It's just like everything.
