Blackout

black out, a poison mouth
covered in blood, trying to calm me down
spitting vitriol and vomit down the bathroom sink
and do you think
that it's too broke to fix?
a mess that you can't clean
that I was made with an affliction you can't treat
a pile of broken wires
screaming out into a violent symphony
is there something wrong with me?
the way down, I dragged it out
took my time to burn everything to the ground
and what's left now?
a broken mind
and a hollowed out shell
screaming that I'm sorry
when I don't know what that means
and is that me?
standing in the street
and cursing out your name to make
another drunken scene
there's something wrong with me
there's something wrong with me
there's something wrong with

I look at you, you look through me
am I invisible?
a ghost at your party
a joke I don't get
isn't the punchline obvious?
and it's funny how it ends
a million times in my mind just to start again
want so badly to forgive
I wanna let you in
how many times can you break my heart?
fill in the cracks with gold 'till it all falls apart
is there beauty in the pain?
in the fractures that remain?
so you got the best of me
like I knew that you would
'cause I'd do anything that you asked
it's no selfless act
you know I love a reason to lose out on sleep
and it's funny we pretend
that there's something to learn in any of this
want so badly to believe
that it hurts for a reason but I'll never see
how many times can you tear me apart
before I grow a spine or collapse in your arms?
how many more first starts?
tell me how many times
tell me how many times
tell me how many times are you gonna break my heart?

The Vanishing Act
02:51

after the lights go down
after the deafening sound
outside, an invitation you know I'd decline
always looking for somewhere to hide
in canvases, oh the sterile white
I wish I could be honest
or even be nice
do you hear me when I talk to you?
do you just hear the parts that you want to?
throwing my voice, an expert in disappearing
I guess that it's nice to be good at something
when I walk through windows
the contents of my skull
painting the concrete a violent red
do I get to float through the ceiling?
dissolve into particles?
or do I float around watching my friends?
could I start over? beginning to end
one more chance to make all the same mistakes again
