Im Not Me 04:33
This town is a ghost land Like sleeping in a stranger’s bed An empty pulse struggles But the heart of Texas is dead So you let out a sigh Then breathe in a goodbye We’ve gotten so good at saying goodbye Goodbye to the ocean the skyline Goodbye to the coast and the sand glittering like Each grain was alive with its own soul It’s been hours since these pills dissolved But I cannot feel the effects at all In the dead of the night All is quiet all is calm When we are dead in the night They’ve come to cleanse your soul with a dirty bomb You got me shaking like the surgeon’s hands And I never felt more alive in the dead of night Quicksand in the hourglass With the sun against our backs We climb as high as we can Go on and pick your poison Show me the difference between slave and servant Cuz all those things you say they sound so perfect When we get as high as we can We could get each other so high but I know you’ll always find some way to let me down

Baby boy you're no good for me Mixed signals sinking ships at sea I was an island but I was not free Until you came to liberate my body Who's going to paint my eyes black and blue Or put on some blush to cover up my bruise Who will smudge the red from my lips And tell me I'm pretty when I look like shit Who's going to build me up with their words And tell me "I love you so much that it hurts" Who will I call my Valentine Who will you be fucking instead of (fucking) me tonight I'm not a fighter but I have to play the part They’ll wear you out if they see your heart on your sleeve I'm sure its hard when you're not sure who you are Or you're too afraid to be who you want to be Baby boy/girl I hate to see you struggling If it’s a choice then why not choose to leave We made this bed with empty promises So hollow my thoughts echo endlessly We grow and grow and grow While we sleep safe and sound in our tomb I'm just bones in a box You're a key without a lock Tell me what use are you

Under the skin there are veins and bones connected to the exits off the highway roads and the last time you and I ever spoke there was no goodbye there was no hello But I remember when you were still in bloom before they came to replace your heart with a tomb Wave to the waves as you sail away alone there's no such thing as change the change machine just broke Now were caught in the currents of this concrete sea it has us swerving further out of reach I work all day stay up all night I dream of sleep but I never close my eyes (every night I lay alone in the dark every night drags on and on and on) I am just a soldier yeah just following orders Rip Repent Repeat (the process starts all over) Dying for a reason to live divided by ambivalence my motives are pre programmed I am a modern man They stole your soul made a map of your skin now you hide in the handshakes of men I feel strangely hollow inside so here we are so goodnight Bitter. Been drinking. Every night inebriated. Spent all his life going out and celebrating Alive and numb. I've grown so tired waiting for this year to expire. He drank and drugged himself to sleep in the cold sharp rain in the middle of the street so spare some change some wisdom or advice I've paid my way thru my mistakes but now they've raised the price

I am GOD I am GOLD And you can’t see me But you do what you’re told I use to be so valuable I use to be so beautiful……… You gotta do your best to do your best Its dog eat dog and dogs eat fast If you’re walkin in chains And workin on the track You’re nothing but a number with a face attached So keep on marching towards the sunset I find you missing when I lay down for bed……. I had that dream again. The one where you and I never met.
