Sickly Spiderly Song

Sickly spiderly shame flows from my fingertips
You've got such lovely ruby red glowing lips
Be a shame if anything should happen to them
Oh my emotions are not alive
I've got to go and hide
I've got to dig a grave for them so their family can mourn
They come in hearses wearing black
Oh don't hurt me
Oh don't hurt me
Oh don't hurt me
Says the spider to the web its living in
A drop in the bucket of bad timing
This mess that defines me
But I know you know I understand
And I don't believe in bullshit
Would you meet me in a bar?
Throw your arms out real far
Maybe say you've got some flies to feed my impulses
I don't want to see the future
Oh don't hurt me
Oh don't hurt me
Oh don't hurt me
Shut up spider I've got to go to bed
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't even want myself

Drunk (Broken Head)

I've been up all night
Chomping at the bit
Trying to be more
Like something you'd respect
I am not that guy
Skinny little shit
But I'd give it good
Deep within a kiss
You went back to him then you ran away with me
Why is everything always so confusing?
I've been up all night
Thinking its a shame
That I cannot find
Someone else to blame
I just need a friend
Not that loving glove
But I always think please all of the above
You went back to him now i don't really blame you
I just hate everything I do
When I go back to me I find nothing in turn
Please give me another journal to burn
I've been up all day
Trying to waste away
Trying to live down
This silly sunken shame
I am not your pet
But I am a dog
For lonely little nights
And a tender flog
I go back to her cause she makes me forget
but I wake up with a broken head

No More Feeling

Met a girl that I couldn't explain
Thought maybe she'd take the pain
But when her arms tripped over flat
I knew just how much I had asked
Then the distance bore it to part
I didn't really give up my heart
Only ever gave my loneliness
And a lust i couldn't confess
No, no more feeling
No more thinking about you
No, no more feeling
No more thinking about you at least not like that
Met a girl who couldn't connect
I could never get out of my head
So I said things in heat I regret
But what is regret for?
In desperation I tend to string it along
Even if we can't get along
Telling myself its healthy to break
Breaking things most every day
No, no more feeling
I needed depression like a big black blanket I could sink in
Cause it'd always be there for me in the times you couldn't
Would I evolve
Would I evolve
To be something much stronger
If I keep telling myself
No, no more feeling
I'm going to head down to the river
I'm going to watch the boats roll by
Maybe think about the ways I once wanted
To die
But not today, not today
