Booze bottle glow
It fucks me up
An endless sea
The death of me
Once sullen girl
Who wants the world
But it's too small
Take all these things
But it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No it's not real
It's in my head
Just walk with me
But don't dig too deep
I get too rough
Just let it flow
I touch your face
But it's all the same
My shattered soul
So out of place
But it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No it's not real
It's in my head
Booze bottle glow
Leave me alone
You drain me dry
So I light a smoke
My life is fine
Without you here
Just I alone
Just I alone
But it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No it's not real
Because it's all in my head
I'm sayin' it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No, it's not real
It's in my head

Your guilt's embraced by a slow decay
Well that's just fine, go look the other way
I can walk tall and I'll stand so proud
Though I'm crushed inside, here behind this wall
It's hard to breath with the air so thick
Most thoughts of you just fuckin' make me sick
Don't have room in my heart to hold such hate
I pour it out here to help alleviate
And I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I needed you to stand along my side
Your precaution forced me down to further hide
What scratched the surface, now a gaping wound
And it bleeds me out whenever I think of you
You can't even give me an apology
That's not clouded by your desperate apathy
You beg me, plead me to live and let live
But when I do, it's the same bullshit
And I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
How many times can you avert your face?
Now all I want is my goddamn space
You got your wish and had to have your way
Never once thought about the price I pay
Don't want your excuses, don't want your lies
I won't live your life of compromise
If all this is, is water under the bridge
Then how come I'm still drowning in it?
And I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore
I don't want to care about it anymore

I've got flies in my coffee
But the temperature is fine
I've got silence in my pocket
Of my own design
There's flowers in the attic
And the smell is rotten flesh
The shit that's in the basement
Is getting laid to rest
Go slow
I go down to the river
Try to cleanse my soul
But my skin begins to shiver
As I breach the swimming hole
The sun begins to shimmer
Along the water's edge
And shared among the fishes
The whispers of their dread
Go slow
Go slow
The air begins to thicken
There's a fire in my lungs
My brain begins to sicken
Goin' back to days when young
This mood, it creeps so slowly
And in seconds, it consumes
I can't conceal the heavy
When I walk into the room
Go slow
Go slow, slow, slow slow....

Me Now (in mono)

Well this is me now
And finally I can see how
The way I blinded myself
The way I lied to myself
Said it's okay
Okay
Okay
To just drink it away
It was a big ol' well
My head it used to flex and swell
And the mirror it gave me hell
Truth be told, I used to hate myself
But now it's okay
Okay
Okay
'Cause that was yesterday
I said this is me now
Embrace my complex machina
Learn to be good to myself
Now I'm sticking true to myself
Learn to leave each day
For the day
Just today
Without focus on the pain
This is me now
And finally I can see how
The way I blinded myself
The way I lied to myself
Said it's okay
Okay
Okay
To fuck my life away
I know I did some things
And I still got some memories
I gave my everything
'Till I had none left for me
I gave my all
My all
My all
And then I watched it fall
I said this is me now
Embrace my complex machina
Learnin to be good to myself
Yeah I'm sticking true to myself
And I live each day
For the day
Just today
'Cause that's the only way

Zebrana Bastard Jefferson, Oregon
Skulls & Butterflies
It is the breaking of my heart and the triumphs you obtain when you smash
through walls. Life is pain, it's suffering, but it's also beautiful because of it. Lyrics just as raw and honest as I am, maybe even more so. An intense, emotional ride. My heart on my sleeve, the baring of my soul.
