"Liquid Courage" lyrics

"Liquid Courage"

Running through the forest with my backpack full of cocaine (Cocaine)
If we just keep driving, we should reach Jersey by Sunday morning
Maybe if we kiss, we could break tension like my brother's ribcage
Stole the bastard's wallet from my father when he wasn't looking

I've taken up poetry, so I can express all these feelings
I wrote letters that I never sent because I never mean 'em
Wrote my poem on my hand in Sharpie so I don't forget it
What was I talking about... fuck
Alright (Fuck)

I can't stay awake because my friends are all so fucking boring
I can feel the energy my pen has when I'm writing stories
I can see the words come off the canvas and go up your nose
Now I'm in your brain and know how to make your lungs go closed

Can I have a sip of that, my cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves, he's way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after dessert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promise me this wouldn't hurt

Can I have a sip of that, my cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves, he's way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after dessert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promise me this wouldn't hurt

Her mom said my brain is broke, my thoughts wanna see me choke
Crown of thorns lay on my head; I'll stay home and sleep instead
Your dad's back in jail again, apple picking with the friend
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's most lonely of them all

I can't fall in love again
(Stay away, stay away)
Cupid's arrow in my neck
(Stay away, stay away)
I'm more trouble than I'm worth
(Stay away, stay away)
You're a danger to yourself
(Stay away, stay away)

I can't fall in love again
(Stay away, stay away)
Cupid's arrow in my neck
(Stay away, stay away)
I'm more trouble than I'm worth
(Stay away, stay away)
You're a danger to yourself
(Stay away, stay away)

Can I have a sip of that, my cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves, he's way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after dessert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promise me this wouldn't hurt

Can I have a sip of that, my cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves, he's way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after dessert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promise me this wouldn't hurt

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oh
