like a hero who don't know what you're saving
throw in the towel cause I'm bathing
if you found your path that means you're pathetic
if you're heart seems off it might be prosthetic
you make as much sense as a rope around my neck
I'm not hanging around
to find out
I knew it would end but really so soon?
still miss Saturday morning cartoons
pulling rabbits out of hats yeah I know your tricks
go on and lie to me like they do in politics
you make as much sense as a rope around my neck
I'm not hanging around
to find out
if you're just a bad idea
or the very worst choice
and if all I hear
is heaven or just noise
I once heard about a girl who had her moment of fame
went home and got killed in a car crash the next day
just like her you disappeared and though I've felt worse
I'm kinda jealous I didn't think of pulling that first
you make as much sense as a rope around my neck
I'm not hanging around
to find out
cause I already know

I want to tell you
you look so good
I'm tired and restless
and rarely understood
you walk away sometimes cause
you don't believe me
I lose my head sometimes cause
you just won't leave me
and it hurts
it hurts
baby, you're the worst
I try to to temper the tempest
when you're not around
you're hovering in that sky while I'm
out here losing ground
I burn for you and while it
sounds obscene
each time you pass by me you're like
gasoline
and it hurts
it hurts
baby, you're the worst
have a glass of wine
raise your glass up high
here's to you make me feel like
I've wasted all my time
I want to tell you, you look so good
and it hurts
it hurts
baby,
you're the worst
you're the worst
you're the worst

street light shines through the window
am I the only one awake in this town?
arm tucked under your rib cage
your shallow breathing being the only sound
I don't want to lose this
floating round the universe
just another planet in the whole of space
while it makes me feel so insignificant
I can't stop looking at your pretty face
I don't want to lose this
if I die before I wake
all I can say is dammit
I spent my whole life feeling love
but never really having it
hair sprawled all over the pillow
and kind of resembling some perfect work of art
it's clear that I just won't know
and it's clear I'll keep you in my heart
I could never lose this

joshua jesty recommends:
one of my favorite rock records in a long time, recorded by Steve Alibini. Hell Yeahs all around.
go to album
The Air Inside Our Lungs
by Measure
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Laura sings like an angel wiping tears off your face. Very mellow very pretty and I just can't quit the drummer in this band no matter how hard I try.. huh?

Crisis Or Catharsis
by Quickening
amazing hard rock from Cleveland that is super underated.... not that I'd know anything about that.
