So don’t say your goodbyes—you know it’s better that way. We won’t break; we won’t die. It’s just a moment of change.

Round here they sing broken hymns
Their prayers flow better when they’re soaked in gin
The amp’s dusty and sits in the corner
By a bartender that’ll pickpocket your heart
And a jukebox that’ll steal your quarter
Bartender, please give me a confession
Exchange fear for courage in the form of a well drink
There’s a heavy current, got a long way to swim
Closed the Bible a while ago, I need some shots for this sin
Hail Mary, come with me, feel like Pac when it hits
Got some fire in my belly and a riot in the gut
Bushmills for a band-aid, the sweet taste of blood
Then I might actually feel something if I don’t cover it up
Watch their faces, familiar places
Even if they haven’t left the vinyl booth that they stayed in
The motel next door, a sign that reads vacant
And a truth that’s so strong I’d be a fool not to chase it
But yet, I’m a fool and I stay here
Hope these problems drown themselves, I die in wait here
One more, four more, fuck it a night cap
Service starts at 5 tomorrow and I’ll be right back

Give me love like her,
‘Cause lately I’ve been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I’d let them go,
And that I’ll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I’ll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.

Sometimes I say things that

I wish that I could take back

The most crucial thing I lack is a thing called tact.

And if you all are so intently listening,

Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing.

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet,

Don’t let it all come undone.

‘Cause if I dare open my mouth,

it’ll just be to bite my tongue, to bite my tongue.

“The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.”

I say ya kill your heroes and
Fly, fly, baby don’t cry.
Don’t you worry cause
Everybody will die.
Every day we just
Go, go, baby don’t go.
Don’t you worry we
Love you more than you know.

“A boat is safe in the harbor, but that’s not what a boat was made for.”

You’ve gotta swim. Swim for your life.

Defensive Nonchalance

Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:36:35 -0600

I hate coming to this realization, but I suppose it is what it is.

I’m not indifferent—I’m never indifferent. That’s just a well-practice routine of dissemblance. It’s much easier to conceal actual emotion and maintain an air of pseudo-strength, especially if that’s what those around you have come to expect and rely on. It’s a calming force to others that makes sticking a cork in the bottle and concealing it in a paper bag all worth it. You can just pretend that you aren’t feeling like shit on the inside, and in some way feel like you’re serving some legitimate purpose in life—helping other people with their shit. How else can someone trust you? They have to believe that you have something figured out better than they do. You know it’s a lie, but they don’t.

At least you can try to convince yourself that it’s a lie serving some higher purpose. Anything higher than yourself, which still might actually be pretty low. But in any case, without it there’s not much to care for.

That’s how it starts
We go back to your house
We check the charts
And start to figure it out

And if it’s crowded, all the better
Because we know we’re gonna be up late
But if you’re worried about the weather
Then you picked the wrong place to stay
That’s how it starts

And so it starts
You switch the engine on
We set controls for the heart of the sun
One of the ways we show our age

And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up
And I still don’t wanna stagger home
Then it’s the memory of our betters
That are keeping us on our feet

You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan
And the next five years trying to be with your friends again

You’re talking 45 turns just as fast as you can
Teah, I know it gets tired, but it’s better when we pretend

It comes apart
The way it does in bad films
Except in parts
When the moral kicks in

Though when we’re running out of the drugs
And the conversation’s winding away
I wouldn’t trade one stupid decision
For another five years of life

You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can
And the next ten people who are trying to be polite
When you’re blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France
Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight?

And to tell the truth
Oh, this could be the last time
So here we go
Like a sales force into the night

And if I made a fool, if I made a fool, if I made a fool
On the road, there’s always this
And if I’m sewn into submission
I can still come home to this

And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand
You can sleep on the plane or review what you said
When you’re drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks
You think over and over, “hey, I’m finally dead.”

Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand
Tou look contorted on yourself your ridiculous prop
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said
And you always knew you were tired, but then
Where are your friends tonight?

Where are your friends tonight?
Where are your friends tonight?

If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight

“Why do you get so drunk when you’re all alone?”

“It’s like a pendulum really, swinging to and fro. I do what I hate so deeply in order that I might arrive at what I love equally deeply: a sobriety of the coldest, purest, and clearest variety.”
