pretty sharks leave permanent kisses (lyrics by jeremy)
you've got cobwebs on your nose
you can't seem to see what everyone else knows
so it's just me and him and he's finally eating again
i wish i could say the same for me
it's just coffee and tea
late nights with whiskey
worrying you don't miss me
so dagger, we're gonna hit the road
your mommy says she doesn't want to go
but you can stay with me i might need the company
and you need security, another broken family
it's so fucking routine
she says she needs to be free
but she'll be so far away from the ones that she needs
los angeles (lyrics by jeremy)
these streets remind me of home
mickey mouse and the fashion show
i've always known there was nowhere else for me to go
she comes over and i'm a little less alone
we make out in front of the stereo
while ben sings words that seem too much like our own
the cracks in the pavement cry out
"you don't have to look down at us anymore"
put your eyes straight ahead
smell the salt in the air again and laugh because
this is home, this is home
sun baked streets taste like broken lives
my hearts back east with my spanish sky
she stuck around to make sure that i'd survive
but once i did she turned and left me to die
the cracks in the pavement cry out
"you don't have to look down at us anymore"
put your eyes straight ahead
smell the salt in the air again and laugh because
this is home, this is home
coming this october (lyrics by jeremy)
your new found strength and determination
they seem so sudden and alien
i always tried to help you find them
but now their causing me pain
so i'm gonna hang up the phone now
i'll call you back in a week or two now
once i think that talkin to you
won't get through so much to me
you sink your teeth into some fucked decisions you've made
it's coming this october the realization this is never over
so i'm gonna hang up the phone now
i'll call you back in a week or two now
once i think that talkin to you
won't get through so much to me
you sink your teeth into some fucked up decisions you've made
you sink your teeth in and pretend you like the taste
you should come home or i should go home
does anyone even know where home is anymore
you should come home or i should go home
does anyone even know where home is anymore
you should come home or let me come home
does anyone even know where home is anymore
you should come home or i should go home
does anyone even know where home is anymore
in dresses (lyrics by jeremy)
do we even care anymore?
we see what they've done
we shake our heads and eat some more
we walk the dog, we pay the bills
we sit at home and watch CNN 'n' hide
it doesn't seem worth the time to make those calls
to like fools in front of our friends
they beat us down
they took the gold
they held my hand and walked me to school
you're so afraid to move anything at all
if you sit real still they'll leave what's yours
this place has been massacred
and all that's left is a ghost town
you're an accomplice because you knew it was going down
so i'm gonna leave now
there's no reason to stay here now
with your friends and clothes and your life
their all cardboard cut outs you bought at the mall
you're so afraid to move anything at all
if you sit real still they'll leave what's yours
do you feel free when you walk through this part of town?
can you honestly see anything but hopelessness and despair in dresses?
omaha (bleach and liquor) (lyrics by jeremy)
i can wash these sheets in bleach and drown my beliefs in liquor
i'm still going to miss her that's for sure
she's selfish and she is spoiled
this machine is oiled but it still breaks
i keep on trying to fix it cause she's my world
now there's nothing to fucking eat and i wouldn't even if there was
i'm way too busy placing odds
it's five to one says she'll come back
but what do i do when i lose this bet
can i keep on blaming myself for what we've become?
i didn't want this anyway
it was just something clever to say
something to make friends laugh
get my parent off my back
it's just a song i heard them play
we decided not to get drunk in omaha
i knew that i'd call you and live out the lines of someone else's songs
in the morning i took off my cursive shirt
i didn't know what to sing but i knew it was time to write songs of my own
i wanna take ecstasy
i wanna meet a suicide girl
i want anything that keeps me from missing her
i didn't want this anyway
it was just something clever to say
something to make friends laugh
get my parent off my back
it's just a song i heard them play
we decided not to get drunk in omaha
i knew that i'd call you and live out the lines of someone else's songs
judas, yesenia (lyrics by jeremy)
judas, yesenia
when did i make an enemy of you
when did those tiny feet that kicked me in my sleep
decide to stand the body up and run
does your new future hold some possibility
or do you wake up to the same brick walls as me...
the same walls as me...
the same wall...
so long and thanks for all the coffee (lyrics by jeremy)
maybe it's just me but portland had a way of getting between us
maybe it's just you but i spent the week alone
learning all the ways this place is built for coffee and livin cheap
but crushing for your budding fashion career
it's so called i'm moving to california
the city of angels is filled with strangers
but there's no rain clouds
how can people be so happy in a town that looks so sad
the constant haze of rain down on industrial skylines
looking back i miss the arcade and the suicide scene
but you and me dear we need somewhere warm to fight this chill between us
it's so called i'm moving to california
the city of angels is filled with strangers
but there's no rain clouds
it's so called i'm moving to california
cause the city of angels is filled with strangers
but there's no rain clouds
there's no rain
read nausea again (lyrics by jeremy)
i put marks on myself hope i'm easier to find
you backed me in a corner said "you're born to be mine"
but i've been confusing cleanliness with godliness
this numbing repetition with a lack of success
so i have to go if you can't follow me then why should i wait for you?
she sells coffee in a short skirt
the yellow eyes never touched her
her shoes are too small in some attempt to look cute
she looks like she just bought mall
she was a genius she was gorgeous
it's ridiculous how stupid she pretends to be
confusing meaning with money
he wanted to change the world but now he's just so bored
took a ride on a subway train everyday
the colors taste great but the taste doesn't change
he said "i have to go, if you can't follow me then why should i wait for you?"
i have to go if you can't follow me then why should i wait for you?
i put marks on myself to remind myself
read nausea again
read nausea again
crystaline (lyrics by jeremy)
crystaline, a crimes a crime
the day seems ripe to end these lies
admit that you never wanted this
i walk this road alone
you promise you're coming home
if i can lose the truth in these trees
like a friend i don't want you to meet
crystaline, crying's a sign
your smeared eyeliner, it stains my mind
i can't help but doubt that this will last
i gave my word for better or worse
i've been scared before but now i'm cured
do you think you can say the same to me?
i walk this road alone
you promise you're coming home
if i can lose the truth in these trees
like a friend i don't want you to meet
dots and lines, the graphs don't lie
the math adds up, we're better off aligned
so you'd smile and tell me you loved me
i've broken swords, i've broken words
i gave up god but now i'm bored
i can't be what you really wanted
i walk this road alone
you promise you're coming home
if i can lose the truth in these trees
like a friend i don't want you to meet
drug doctor (lyrics by jeremy)
you've got a drug doctor and a real sick mother
you know you're going nowhere but you'd feel a lot better
if the lights on the corner from that new gas station
were a little less fluorescent, a lot less like acid
you could maybe go outside if you had a couple friends you liked
you keep telling yourself someday you'll have something to say
(and you'll say it)
but she's a thousand piece puzzle so it's safer in the corner
cause if a single piece goes missing you might not find the answer
so you keep 'em in your pocket and you hide out in the basement
you drink your jack and coke alone
you beat your head until it sounds great
but you won't go out cause there's a war tonight
that sweater makes you look pale it doesn't fit right
out there in the dark it's so hard to find new friends
cause everyone looks so cool
everyone looks so cool
everyone but you
everyone looks so cool
the last song that i want to write about you (lyrics by jeremy)
i woke up today resigned to the fact
that you're not coming back to our life
i served my purpose for the time
i filled your days with sad songs
dramatic pauses and vegan laws
it was the best sex you ever had
and the way that you left me didn't make me special
you turned me into my heroes
those sad ass boys in their basements
they don't have shit on me anymore
you turned me into my heroes
those sad ass singers on their stages
they aren't better than me anymore
so now that you're gone i try to stay in bed till at least noon or 1pm
i refuse to eat before 4
i have to remind myself not to drink anymore until after 10
or this pathetic starts again
you turned me into my heroes
those sad ass boys in their basements
they don't have shit on me anymore
you turned me into my heroes
those sad ass singers on their stages
they aren't better than me anymore
so now i've run away across this whole country like i said i would
i'm living in los angeles with some friends everything's pretty good
i've changed my life completely
so that some days i don't even recognize myself
i just might even be happy
but still i wake up and wonder what happened to my girlfriend so my wife
and that life we were heading towards that life i've been trying
to reconstruct pieces of one night and one girl or drink or song at a time
crystaline i'm so alone tonight
cause there's nothing that's mine that feels as right as what was ours
