Hot Mess
It's a hot mess baby
When you're drinking by yourself
It's a cold moon baby
And I'll drink to your health
It's a new day baby
Get up and open your eyes
It's an old trick baby
You gotta sever old ties
Your tired eyes in front of me
Unsure of what you think I see
I know that I should give it up
But I wanna take you downtown
It's a high life baby
When you're burnin' by yourself
It's a low mood baby
When you've burned up all your wealth
It's a slow jam baby
Get up and move your feet
It's a fast ride baby
You can't outrun defeat

Queens
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Well I know that's not true
The streetlights are her silent soldiers
She's safe, no thanks to you
She carries a pocketknife
Her keys are in her fist
Beasts hide in the shadows
She's ready to resist
And you could be the problem
But you would never know
You always play your part
Actor... Hero
If you wanna fix the problem
Try to be a better man
It's time to shut up, listen, and understand
They said it was the dress she wore
Well I know that's not true
It's on the fathers and brothers
A system that's so skewed
Cowards masquerade as men
With hearts so full of pride
We've left no room for respect
By bro code we abide
And you could be the problem
But you would never know
You always play your part
Actor... Hero
If you wanna fix the problem
Try to be a better fucking man
It's time to shut up, listen, and reinvent

A lonely pine
Hallowed by the moon
A sharpie-line
Not sure what to do
You can't break
Break the skin
A group of friends
Gathered in a room
Alone again
But then that's nothing new
You can't break
Break the skin
A burning fire
Sterilize the pins
A great desire
Ready to begin
You can't break
Break the skin
Break your heart
Break it in
Pull tight - push hard
Black ink - dark scar
One pass - half assed
Clean up - heal fast
Pull tight - push hard
Black ink - dark scar
One pass - half assed
Clean up - heal fast
A glass of red
Calm your shaking hands
A wave of dread
This won't wash off again
You can't break
Break the skin
A forest grows
You're becoming hooked
A proper prose
Your body is a book
You can't break
Break the skin
Break your heart
Break it in
Pull tight - push hard
Black ink - dark scar
One pass - half assed
Clean up - heal fast
Pull tight - push hard
Black ink - dark scar
One pass - half assed
Clean up - heal fast
Take it or leave it
That part's so easy
I'll look the other way
You never know
Until it snows
Just how cold
The steel feels in my body

Two
Spent two years dying in the walls
Of the water filtration factory
Rotting away in those florescent halls
Trying to hard just to make ends meet
We were all young I was twenty one
We were living off Kraft Dinner and nicotine
You were waking up I was coming home
Night shift never sat well with me
That was before we were all torn
Skins weren’t broke and the bones weren’t worn
Poison and toxin and had to set in
Hadn’t found a single grey hair on my chin
That summer you know we took our turns
Sleeping in the backyard under the stars
When the bugs weren’t bad and the weather held
Pillows on the trampoline out in the yard
We were all naive chasing down our dreams
Some wanted to travel, some wanted to stay
Seth talked about finding a girl to marry
Chad talked about wanting things to change
That was before we were all torn
Skins weren’t broke and the bones weren’t worn
Poison and toxin and had to set in
Hadn’t found a single grey hair on my chin
Your tenor voice was ringing in my ear
Singing me the songs that I wanted to hear
Something about a painter and changing shades
My god I wish that things had stayed the same
I could always count on
Finding you there
Waiting on the top of the roof with a lit cigarette
You could always count on
Finding me there
Waiting in the back of a passenger van with a bottle to share
That was before we were all torn
Skins weren’t broke and the bones weren’t worn
Poison and toxin and had to set in
Hadn’t found a single grey hair on my chin
Your tenor voice was ringing in my ear
Singing me the songs that I wanted to hear
Something about a painter and changing shades
My god I wish that things had stayed the same
