Use to Bruise

Should I pack my bags and go
Should I forget I ever knew you at all
It's getting late tonight
It's somehow stirring me then luring me to bed
You know I'm probably better off alone
And I know it takes one who clings to that post
So I'll ride on cause I can't help but please everyone but me again
Dripping down my sleeves
I start to get weak at the knees
Now sweaty palms rub
And I've forgotten when love was so sweet
Forgotten which touch I don't need
One day I'll just learn to walk away
One day I'll grow strong enough to say that we're through
Cause you're just cigarette smoke
Whiskey flavored coke I'm drawn to
So I'll stay cause I'm timid and afraid of change
Maybe we'll just fade away
Getting used to these trembling legs and shaky hands I use to bruise
It's dripping down my sleeves
I start to get weak at the knees
Now sweaty palms rub
And I've forgotten when love was so sweet
Forgotten which touch I don't need

I might not be your girl anymore
We may not have an ending
Just some reckless pretending
No heart to heart talks
Just a couple more fucks
And then you won't notice me as I drift astray
I know you won't care when I slip away
We may be drinking a few bottles a night
Then we'll close our eyes, and remember why we fight
Maybe we aren't meant to be
Cause you make me wanna scream
You make me want to find a dream of my own
A place in the sun I can call my home
I try so hard not to mold you into my ideal muse
Cause you're just a man whose been bruised
Should I settle this week
'Cause we never really speak
I'm waiting for the day you lose my trust
I'm waiting for you to feel a bit more lust for another girl

Familiar Face

Oh what a shame that he can just trust the world
Oh with a name and face that he can just keep roaming, endlessly moaning
Nobody shoots or yells, so he never needs to hide away
Nobody caws or crawls, so he gets to keep standing straight, an unbruised smile each day
Closed to the tragedies, quiet when they are prodding at me
Will you ever have to deal with the outside shrill hollering that beats at me every single night?
Opening your eyes to breathe
I’ll keep hoping that one day you’ll believe the raping and breaking of our skins
Hurt and afraid of someone who might call you out
Biggest fear is being seen lost in self doubt
Used and abused by the privilege you’ve known so well
I guess your familiar face will never tell me that you are ruthlessly and hopelessly opposed, so cold you’re
Closed to the tragedies, calmed when they are prodding at me
Will you never have to deal with the outside shrill hollering that beats at me every single night?
Opening your eyes to breathe
I’ll keep hoping that one day you’ll believe the raping and breaking of our skins
The raping and breaking of our skins
The raping and breaking of our skins
The raping and breaking of our skins

Letter to Elizabeth

Hold on to that dream of flying, someday you’ll catch the moon
Hold on to a glimpse of summertime
Maybe the sun will find you soon, maybe this time will be for you
Wait there, little wandering girl
You don’t even know yourself
Wait there, cause this world will get brighter or that’s at least what they say, they say it each day
Dreary eyes, fueling each bitter time
While leaves drift, wilt, and bruise
The sunrise will call you out again and you will be truly free someday
Don’t you let this world turn you angry, sad, or a fool
Don’t forget you’ll have plenty to see If you remember to be free
Lose yourself in each dream then one day you will breathe

[Intro]
I don’t recall how to breathe without you
[Verse]
Bring me back to the beginning, please stop us from spinning out of control
Would you rather sit back?
Just talk about the fact that I’m hopelessly out of touch with you
Would you rather sit still?
Remembering that thrill, the thrill of being each other’s muse
[Chorus]
Oh I know it’s time for this love to slip away
Oh we know it’s time for this love to drift astray
Oh but please don’t fade away
[Verse]
I won’t pretend that we can still be friends, I know you all too well
Bring me back to the start, that conversation with blue sparks when you couldn’t look away
Is it best that I leave this as another memory, another dream to rest in peace?
Is this just another test where you pretend that you never left and that you’ll always come back to me?
[Chorus]
Oh I know it’s time for this love to float away
Oh we know it’s time for this love to dissipate
Oh but don’t fade away
[Outro]
I don’t recall how to breathe without you
