"Dead Man" lyrics
"Dead Man"
Shame rolls its tongue up my back and kisses my neck
It wants to get me in bed but I know who it is I'm dealing with
Shame plays the long game - it wants me to break down
It sings a siren song for me, but I don't fall so helplessly now
It was pitchy anyhow
Well if I'm already a dead man
I may as well get naked and dance in the crosshairs
Well if I'm already a dead man
Why not just go ahead and paint a target on my chest
Fate has a chisel and is etching my name into some granite
The man without a new has asked Piripero for my casket
So naturally I wonder - why is it I hide?
In here I prolong suffering when there's no way I'm leaving with my life
So simmer down and dry your eyes
Well if I'm already a dead man
I may as well get naked and dance in the crosshairs
Well if I'm already a dead man
Why not just go ahead and paint a target on my chest

Spit up on my hands
If I could unwind
Where would I begin?

Worst Party Ever - "False Teeth" I'm wondering how you think I've been
I'm feeling under-confident underneath my skin
And I'm seeing you in passing
When you go to Tallahassee
And with all the times I've called, you think I'm sick...
It Looks Sad. - "Creature" I got some things to do
But I don't want to do 'em
I got some things to say
I will never say 'em to your face
I lost my lungs
I don't really need 'em
I lost my heart
I don't really need it anymore...
Bay Faction - "Coyote" Tattooed and pinned up
My chest is made of toothpicks it splinters when I cough
You got me messed up
I gave you just a part of me turns out you took it all
Now I'm stuck between a coyote and a cement...
