Forever
Overkill
Is that you?
You aren’t what you did
I’m all cool
I’m a real tough kid
Welcome to the hallway, to the exit
Your story is sour when I tell it
And Charlotte says to get over it
I hate her for what she said
Cause you’ll stay right here forever
I’ll be trapped here forever
Is that you?
I'd like to speak to him
Is it true?
Did I cut through too much skin
The weight of your body still lies next to mine
One other thing I made up in my mind
And my room has a stain from your sweat on the floor
Coming events cast their shadow before
We’ll stay right here forever
We might be here forever
x2
And you’ll
Take your pills
Cause you know a bad wound heals, a bad name kills
I was there
And I knew pretty soon you would push me down the stairs
To the ground
But you’ll follow me there, enough dirt to go around
Greatest fears
But you can’t climb out cause we don’t do that here
(stay right here forever)
(I’ll hate you more than ever)
(Stay right here forever)
Your feelings will change with the passage of time
Sit down with some girl and watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine
(I’ll hate you more than ever)
Shove all your shit in the back of the closet
I could’ve guessed it if I’m being honest
(I’ll stay right here forever)
I’ll die in the universe you said you loved me in
Where is the boy I loved? What have you done to him?
(Hate you more than ever)
My whole family hates you, but never say never
Worst part of this love is it might be forever
Beverly
Overkill
Believe me
Oh I asked him
Asked the sun what
I should do with all this hurting
It's a milestone
Break a backbone
It was something quite like
Grieving
Oh the feeling
It's deceiving
How did I ever get this far?
I was on your stool
Eating carrot soup
Now the pain's so deep
Hanging off of me
So Beverly
Please can you help me?
Grandma
Wish I knew you
'Cause I'd ask you
What to do with all this
Mending
It's a pile
Goes for miles
All the thread and blood and
Fabric
It was magic
It was tragic
Just tell me where did I go wrong?
Now it's way too late
And I'm at the gate
I will steal the key
watch some old TV
Beverly
You were so beautiful to me
'Cause it's not easy
Growing up
It's not easy being broken when you really, truly loved someone
Not easy
It's no fun
Wish I could be four again
And play beside the foxglove
It's not easy being all alone
I don’t know how you did it
It's stupid having all this youth and not knowing how to use it
This thing is probably half my fault, I couldn’t even function
I miss him
Beverly
Beverly
I miss you
Beverly
Read it and Weep
Unreleased
I want you to feel how it felt to be sickened for days
I wish you had noticed I lost the color in my face
Man of the hour?
Textbook coward to me
Now it all makes sense
How you always had something to drink
So I wrote it all down and I took a train out to the cape
A firsthand account
From the heart in my mouth
The same one that begged you to stay
So read it and weep
Read it and weep
You can read it and weep
Nobody noticed the moment attention was shifted
It was never your “art”
It was having your cake and eating it
Little miss perfect
Created a version you liked
Very convenient for someone who’d always wanted her more
(You’re a liar!)
I could tell the whole world your name
And warn everybody who came through your door
But that won’t take away
The cold truth that you made
You just didn’t want me anymore
(You wanted her!)
So read it and weep
Read it and weep
You can read it and weep
Oh I know that you’ll say whatever you like
In your usual state, you will tell them all lies
And I’ll have to forgive you
I’ll have to be good
A torture like watching my love turn to soot
I know you won’t come clean
That shit’s not what love means
You took what you could
Because I made it easy
Hung on your door now
The love that you bombed at the start
Forever deathless in art
So read it and weep
The Fool
Unreleased
There’s little things that scare me
You never say too much
I bet your mother told you
You’re stronger than she was
But you’re fanning every fire in a mile's radius
And I see it
Got a million things to tell you, but you never listen up
And talking feels like torture
Salt sizzling in the cut
It’s basic human rules,
Don't act like I’m a fool
I guess I just expected that they taught you this in school
I can see
See right through your eyes
To the other side
And it’s nothing like I thought it’d be
You’ll leave me there
With my done-up hair
And you’ll say it’s fair
Of course!
You’re always in the right
And you’ll burn my ships
Say you’re over it
While you talk your shit
Just the greatest to ever exist
Your bags are fine, but don’t make them mine
While you’re sipping pretty sitting drinking wine
Drinking wine
Drinking wine
You never let me know you
At least not how they do
And love will turn to fire when they actually need you
It's a lesson in mechanics
But overly romantic
The walls will crack the pipes will leak
You’ll see they’re made of plastic
You’re hiding under blankets
Of madness and contempt
And you spend all day complaining
About things you can’t accept
On that day in late November when I went home and I wept
I can see you cutting corners
I was right I was right
Looking like you’re making a fist
what a sight, what a sight!
Laying in your bed at night
Dreaming dreams of petty fights
I don’t even own a knife
But I'm right, know I'm right
Beautiful Girls
Overkill
You’re all on the beach now,
and he's with you that's the story
I guess they're flying planes now
Just to bask in all your glory
Comments are so low-brow
What a dumb thing to read into
Messages so crowded
Because everybody wants a piece of you
You’re just so special, baby
He'll make you dinner every night
That your dad is gone
'Cause he’s passed out on the lawn
No one’s ever moving on
What have you done to your beautiful girl,
to your beautiful girl, to your daughter honey?
What have you done to your beautiful girl,
oh, your beautiful girl, oh hell
Such a piece of work, watering the dirt
When the flower's grown you cut it down, you cut it down
I'm afraid to go to Boston
And I think about it nightly
You’ll brag about a song you didn’t write
I'll be polite
Just because you’re hurting doesn’t mean you have to kill me
There's a million other things that you could do
and not be cruel
He's so demanding lately
It makes sense why you took the bait
While you sit and smoke,
You’ll tell an insensitive joke
And everyone will laugh
What have you done to your beautiful girl
to your beautiful girl, to your daughter honey?
What have you done to your beautiful girl
oh, your beautiful girl, oh hell
Such a piece of work, watering the dirt
When the flower's grown, you cut it down, you cut it down
Cut it down
Every time you see the high road
Go down, down, down
What have you done to your beautiful girl,
to your daughter honey?
What have you done to your beautiful girl?
Oh hell
What have you done to your beautiful girl,
to your beautiful girl, to your daughter, honey?
What have you done to your beautiful girl,
oh, your beautiful girl, oh hell
x2
Such a piece of work, watering the dirt
When the flower's grown, you cut it down, you cut it down
Under Your Skin
Overkill
I was really thinking
Really thinking
You were gonna leave me last night
Lying in the kitchen
In the kitchen just crying
I wrote you a letter
You could do better
I’m killing you from the inside
But I bought you a sweater
And it fits you just right
But it’s been too quiet
And nobody cares
I’ve only got one body
But good people share
The tips of my fingers are covered in blood
Gotta sacrifice something
So I can be loved
The gust of the wind
A horrible sin
The mud from my mind crawling under your skin
I was barely breathing
Barely breathing
The moment you called me a liar
My bed feels like I’m sinking
Now I’m just getting higher
It’s something in the water
Underwater
I can’t even sing anymore
I just cleaned my room but your clothes
They’re still on the floor
But it’s been too quiet
And nobody cares
I’ve only got one body
But good people share
The tips of my fingers are covered in mud
Gotta sacrifice something
So I can be loved
The gust of the wind
A horrible sin
The mud from my mind crawling under your skin
I thought maybe in the morning it would be all right
one cannot love and be wise
Do you think about me when you see it now?
the prettiest blue for your eyes
But it’s been too quiet
And nobody cares
I’ve only got one body
But good people share
The tips of my fingers are covered in mud
Gotta sacrifice something
So I can be loved
The gust of the wind
A horrible sin
The mud from my mind crawling under your skin
Teeth
Overkill
aren't you a real good man?
Aren't you a stand-up guy?
Captain of the ship and expert in comforting lies
I got a crush again
He had a summer job
Does his own laundry too
Different than you
He's not a snob
Thank god
He's not like you
I know I was addicted to the smoke you blew
I know you
So shut your mouth
Find someone else
To sink your teeth into
I like to go outside
You always kept me in
Maybe you'll change for her
Here's to pointless hoping
I've heard some scary things
Your rejects said you did
We're lying on the beach as you try to un-sink your ship
Thank god
He's not like you
I know I was addicted to the smoke you blew
I know you
So shut your mouth
Find someone else
To sink your teeth into
To sink your teeth into
To sink your teeth into
She loves you
You're in shambles
He loves me, has good examples
Shot it dead, she's crying now
You can't stop
You don't know how
Fucking awful
Manic eyes
I hope you drink until you die
Liver damage
Broken home
I could save her, but I won't
She won't believe me
Never believed me
And never will
Thank god
He's not like you
I know I was addicted to the smoke you blew
I know you
So shut your mouth
Find someone else
To sink your teeth into
(To sink your teeth into)
To sink your teeth into
(To sink your teeth into)
To sink your teeth into
(To sink your teeth into)
To sink your teeth into
