you let it out when no ones around
but always keep it safe inside your pocket
you walk that walk every hour of the day
but never talk it
we talked all night through tin can and line
you said your life was a drop in the bucket
you looked at me and then after some time
you said fuck this, i'm not staying up all night
then the line goes slack
then the brain goes "clack"
its the reason that you're quiet
our last goodbye just didn't sound right
but you cant come back here just to fix it
i feel fine without you in my life
at least i think that
we talked all night 'till your battery died
i couldn't get that name out of my chipset
you had half a mind to plug in and revive
but you said "nvm i can't afford to waste my time"
the kid will never be the same after that

no help

well i caught you in a good look, baby
flying like a dove
you threw me a kiss with a flick of your wrist
like any homesick sailor does
well i've been thinking about you lately
and what you've been doing with your heart
you're holding on so tight and you won't let go
for fear of it falling apart again
you guard it well alone
don't need no help at all
well i've been in a bad way, baby
thinking on going out in style
and somehow i got this notion
that you might stick around a while
so now i'm done with listening
'cause this world is much too loud
but i've been holding on to what you said when i asked you
"what the fuck am I supposed to do now?"
you said "you guard it well alone"
don't need no help at all

dead wrong

i guess that i was dead wrong about it
i thought that i was so far above it
i lost it in the ocean when we were
testing out our hook, line and sinker
i guess that i was dead wrong
i'll chalk it up to nothing worth dwelling
i guess that we're all someone to something
i'm nothing to a sailor worth stealing
a sunken, broken body on the bottom
i guess that i was dead wrong
the coarse that we have chosen is ragged
curse me i'm a coward and seasick
just blame this as a failure of ambition
i thought that i could captain, i'm only faking vision
and i guess that i was dead wrong

don't speak

don't speak, just be there for me. your most, most precious eyes sparkling. in you i see therapy. i'm sure that you could do anything.
cute gloom, just be there for me. your most, most honest kiss lingering. in me i see sparkling. it's you that made me see that part of me.
i guess i'll write it off then, when the dullness starts kicking in. you were a friend, foremost. always. i know. i can't pretend, when the dullness starts kicking in. you're not around these days, it's tough.
