You Can Count On Me

When promises are broken
When feelings get hurt
The empty bottles are piling up
And two days later you're still wearing that same raggedy old shirt
You can count on me, you can count on me
To be the disappointment that you knew I'd always be
You can count on me
To pass out on your kitchen floor beneath the pile of dirty dishesj
All of your promises were only wishes
When the days run together
And the nights go on forever
And you feel claustrophobic in this fucking house
So you're living in your car, you're always close but no cigar
Relationships are martyrs
They're stop-before-they-starters
For each new love I dig one grave
Because every time your love dies for some reason mine just stays

I Still Reminisce

Dramatizations of past situations
Footsteps in these empty halls
Pardon me, I thought that I was alone with the echoes of whispers on walls
If you have a chance take a glance at these still frames of times that were better than this
You'll never see a smile like that on me anymore, though I still reminisce
Stranded in nowhere land, head in my hands
For your face I know time won't erase
I'll be okay some day, but I don't recommend seeing me in this dark place
Hollow apologies, follow on hands and knees
Trails leading back to my past
Breadcrumbs you left behind meagerly feeding me
Sorrows from a paper bag
Frightening renditions of these superstitions
Are manifesting as the lines on my face
Canyons I name after each failed love attempt
Murdered in cold blood by fate

Down Below

We're on a one-way road
That leads to nowhere
I think that we both know
But that won't stop us
I'll ride this highway to the end
If you'll come down with me
And even if you don't
I'll crash into the sea
Take me down below
The sea spray and the foam
The waters ebb and flow
These drugs will do their part
To numb the aching
To think I thought you were
A chance worth taking
I thought our love was real
But you were faking
My hands clutching the wheel
My arms are shaking
Take me down below
The sea spray and the foam
My gasping lungs implode

Change
03:35

Standing alone in a crowd
Afraid to think or speak out loud
I'd rather toe the line than cross
And risk another loss
I've finally reaped what I have sewn
It would appear that I'm just meant to be alone
Feeling like I don't belong
I'm through with trying to stay strong
There's only so much I can take
Before the levees break
I never thought I'd be estranged
But the only thing that's constant here is change
The only thing that's constant here is change
I'm moving back to where I'm from
Where I'm the difference not the sum
Where all these memories in my head
Can lay their bodies dead
And everyone can come and see
A shadow of the man I ought to be
