and darling i want you to know my name
even though its never gonna stick around
and I just want you to think of me when
there's nothing else to think about
and darling you got the moon in your eyes
hanging like a dead skill cell
and i know that it can get tought sometimes
honey you've got everything in your hands
even though your parents pay for everything
you just dance away that college fund
why dont you just drop out and admit it already
because i'm in love someone that doesnt
bother to say the same.

grape burnett's

v: Bm7 E7 Asus4 D
ch: A C#m F#m D
living with your ex
even though you broke up with him
a year and some change ago
you had to ask him
for birthday sex
a bottle of grape burnett's for dinner
and half a sandwich
you're doomed for this life
and im sorry
for saying all those rude things to you
when i was your only friend
everyone loves your prescene
you dazzle at work
but once you get home
you can't think of being alone
for another night
but remain so
when we met up
you drove two hours just to see me
I hid my wallet in my underwear
and kept my phone in my hand
you brought your dog
and smoked marlboro's like
a chimney in winter
I wasn't listening
when you said your ex
is abusing you again
I wasn't sad
when I had to leave
to go back home again
and found conversation awkward
and rimmed with salt
and barb wires
you are the bite of a pear
that's left to oxidize in the air
and you are the master
of the circle hustle
run yourself into an early grave
before you turn 30
the bitter taste of grapes
burns your throat again

Verse: F Dm Bb Gm A
Chorus: Bb A Dm G
I hope the earth leaves my body undisturbed
when what soul I have left leaves
this holy empire held together by gravity
and dirt
heaving up a concoction of hurt
I was reborn as a snake in a place of crocodiles
Spend my days napping in their jaws
a mongoose puts an end to my
lazy days.
Hello, I'm here
I'm there
I'm nowhere
what's next?
what will my soul conform to?
What body will hold what little
light I have left with ease?
this skin feels tight around my body
Swarmed by mud that flooded the swamp
an ocean's mid-day delight
drowning out the animals, leaving a meal
For sharks to eat.
I shed my scales, slither into the roots
of a dieseased tree.
It's so comforting, it's warm and fuzzy
Underneath our feet, a paradise is lost
crumbling beneath.
Hello, I'm here
I'm there
I'm nowhere
what's next?
what will my soul conform to?
What body will hold what little
light I have left with ease?
this skin feels tight around my body
(this is where I stopped because I was running late to English class so here's the other verses you might here live)
My eyes, my fangs
My body, my venom
Biting into your arm
Draining your blood, it washes warm down
my throat, like water on a humid summer
day, I'm a parasite in your body
Hello, I'm here/there/nowhere
I'll slither out of you when i'm done
resting in your stomach
Just talk to me, I hate to keep biting
at something that's in a state
I was reborn as a snake in a place of crocodiles
Spend my days napping in their jaws
a mongoose puts an end to my
lazy days.
the anger of a mongoose
is greater than the coil of a snake
Can I learn from my mistakes
or am I doomed to forever repeat
what I've already said?
a snake crawls in me

are you here?

(guesstimating)
when we were little kids we'd swim in the rivers
where we saw the beautiful night sky lighting up the rivers
and where we saw our skin floating
and I said I could've died right then
the tender years of my youth you can see the truth and
every odds and mystery was before eyes
if you're here with me
say you're near
because im having a hard time
finding, oh finding you here

dog tags
03:40

|
sadness's imprint upon my skin
when love ends, the saltwater rises again
thanks for telling me that my father
died, you're so kind to remind
rub it in about how great your parents are
please, I insist
yank my father's dog tags from my chest
and call them fake in front of
all my friends
your father, the janitor, will back you
up on this
the next day, I punched you in the gut
in the hallway to class
you got up and walked off

hipbone heart
Every part considered for
i wish you could
i know you would
i hate to say it
but the marrow that stuck
in your bloods been sucked
now what?
hipbone heart
every part considered for
a caution to those around him
and a warning to everyone else
finding the acceptance of those
who love you like they say they do
is harder than you think
when you've lost your head
hipbone heart
every part considered for
will this be the great ascension that
tears you up and apart?
transitioning is a hell of a thing to do
but its only a lifetime and not
an infinite division
they'll fix it next time round im sure of it
hipbone heart
every part considered for
the great nothing hollowed its teeth and
sharpened them in the shoulder blades
I've dulled the morning before
my muscle is bound to the bone I was born with
I can't replace this whole body unless
I really just wanted to see
i'm trying to be
- a better man
- not so dead
- kinder at heart
- sewed on into new parts
hipbone heart
where's your marrow gone?
every part considered for
I knew you were the one when you
reached into my pockets for a smoke
and asked me about wasps
hipbone heart
Every part considered for
i wish you could
i know you would
i hate to say it
but the marrow that stuck
in your bloods been sucked
now what?
i wish you wou
i know you cou
i hate to say it
but now what?

happy girl gut punch

your brothers best friend
makes fun of your gut in the restruant
you've worked so hard on losing
so much weight
your brothers best friend
is an absolute cunt with no teeth
to grip into your
intensely cleaned skin
she'll find herself at the hands of
many absusive men as
she continues to rub it in
you cry in the restruant
in front of your brother
who's doing nothing
la la la la
da de de de dah dah
are you proud of yourself
for choosing such a convienent place
to tear into someone's
full hearted efforts
starve starve starve starve
you wont eat ever again

postcards
03:44

|
wrapped up in the situation like a silouette in a storm
I wish you knew what this exact moment felt like in your head
you'd want to live and die in it once the details
were etched into the base of your spine
sullened and soaked from the spring's rain that slattered itself
upon the concrete giving birth to a generation of mosquitos
I wish you could see what this moment has done to me because
everytime I recall it in my memory, I remember it a little differently
sweat and heat dripping down
our bodies
I know that we're going to hell
the head disembodied
it was bound from the start
well where in the hell is it?
postcards, body parts
soaked tears on the edges
I miss you too but maybe
less than you

richard
throw your wife in the closet
and leave her there
for days on end
and let her out when she
stops screaming
strung out on speed again
clenching and stuttering
your jaw hangs wild and
your words slung out too far
and beneath
wigging out
you take it out on the wall
and walk off
richard
you're such a hick
you sullen your intellegence
with whiskey and
things
richard
you fucked the state of alabama's govnenor's daughter
and then locked her in the closet
when she wanted to leave
such power you maintain until it landed you
eight years in the pent
You left with jesus but maintain some
of your old ways
richard
when you invited harley over
did you know he was
watching my mother with a hungry eye?
or were you too high to notice?
you're nothing but the scum of this earth
and when you die alone
you'll find nobody cared about you in the end
but jesus

buried in the back of a graveyard
you can see your own body in the ditch by the riven
where they threw your uncle's ashes
dont pray that there's a scene
let the dogs eat your rotted flesh and deal
with the consequences later on the evening
hard hitting
jaw clenching
throw up in the bathroom stall
move to the moon
because you like the weather there
welcome home
now leave me alone
I dont need to cease, I just need to crease
my body into the folds of your ideals
and premises you've set up for me to fail in
I wanna jump but my legs said i've had enough
buried in a back of a graveyard
how long until they find my corpse?
how long until they find the brittle bones of my
skeleton?
suck down the marrow
and let it drip down your throat
like a warm honey
or a cold cough drop syrup
hard hitting
jaw clenching
throw up in the bathroom stall
move to the moon
because you like the weather there
welcome home
now leave me alone
welcome home
now leave me alone
Dig your own grave, build your own coffin
You're a responsible man
You're responsible enough to prepare for your
own death
well, why wouldn't you want the best?
When you're dead, you'll be under the cork trees
and I'll be by a creek nobody seeks
is this what's to be saught?
is this sook and worth for what's been faught?
Satilite daydream
Signal goin' out, jammed by the ones I love
Clench your jaw and swallow your tongue
does the dog have your ass
or are you just quiet?
hard hitting
jaw clenching
throw up in the bathroom stall
welcome home
now leave me alone
all in all, you found a good place
to be forgot
you didnt know me and i didnt know you and we didnt know each other
so talking to you was like talking to a new piece of me

an absolute hidden gem of bandcamp. HCC Girls D.A.R.E. alone makes this album worth buying. its catchy, its charming, and it's beautiful in all its rough edges.

Curse Rotted Record
by The Goin' Nowheres
mat cothran's new band really outdid themselves with this record. "Suicide Pact" is a gorgeous song in itself but the entire album ebbs and flows perfectly together. 9/10 for me.
