Saint Peterson help me
Be my friend Be my friend Be my friend
It would be nice to say goodbye
but I guess we're at the end
Saw you walkin a quarter mile from here
and it was the scariest thing I've seen
Cause you had a cigarette in your mouth
and I swear to god I screamed
Just let me say hello and we'll be on our way
But I guess I'm not that cool
So I turn and run the other way
Well I hate watching people grow up
Cause so far it's been pretty awful
For all those kids I used to tell what to do
And I think I'm getting lost now
And we think we're pretty boss now
And I don't know what to do
Cause those kids those kids
They're drug dealers and they all think they know the feelin
Cause they sit burned out in their basement every day
I guess its okay with me if you just leave me alone
It would still be pretty cool if you would pick up the phone
But tonight I'll lay in bed
and think about all the things I've done
And what I can do to make sure I can move on again

I've been screaming into the mirror lately
it seems kinda crazy, im kinda angry
I swear that it won't get better if you keep
making yourself do this
I've been screaming at you in the mirror lately
it seems kind of angry, im kinda okay with that
because as long as ive known you
ive known this is gonna end bad
this is gonna end bad
So grab your pitchforks, lets go stoke the fire
grab your toasters lets light some politicians on fire
cause i need to get out
and if that means I need to get arrested
then hell lets do it
lets burn the city to the fucking ground
lets see what happens if I do
lets steal some cars and drive em into the river
this is gonna end bad so lets end badly
lets make this end as bad as we can
lets make this end as bad as we can
Lets scream at each other for hours
Lets see what happens when we do
Lets write passive aggressive notes to each other
lets kill ourselves inside my bedroom

There was a man walking down my street last week
He said "Hey man, do you know the way to the head shop on university"
I said no, but I've probably seen it a few times
I walked away, but damn if I even knew where I was going
I don't know what I'm doing or how I got here
All I know is that I'm pretty fucked up right now
I don't know what I'll be doing tomorrow
I sure as hell don't know what I'm doing right now
I've gotta find a way to escape this place
These walls are pretty much iron bars
Well, drywall and paint are pretty much irons bars
I swear that I'm gonna kill you
By you I mean the infrastructure of this city
I swear to god I'm gonna burn this city down
I swear to god I'm gonna find my way out
I swear to god I'm gonna burn a hole in the ground
And I'm gonna crawl inside and wait
for time... to fall apart

Well the holes in my fingers
they hurt like hell
And I've been playing this
fucking guitar too much
Youve been away at a funeral for a few days
And I haven't seen you in at least a week
And it hurts
Cause I'm so goddamn broken
And I need to be rewound
Which I why Im making this goddamn album
This is as close I'm gonna get to a love song
So I love you
I give to much of myself away
So I'm trying hard to not do that

I saw you in the hall today
And I looked you in the eye and you looked away
and then I waved at you and you walked away
I guess thats what I get for not doing anything
My frustration with this whole community
is at a level it has never been before
And I guess its my job
And I guess its your job
To get this back up
We talked about this today
And you say its not on my shoulders
Well Shit
I feel it on my shoulders
FUCK YOUR SHIT
FUCK HIS SHIT
I AM SO FUCKING TIRED
OF BEING A FLAT FUCKING TIRE
I AM WORTHLESS
SO THROW ME OUT LIKE IT

There is no place but home to be right now
But I'm lying alone in the street
Waiting for a car to run over me
but you stopped and looked down at me
from the sidewalk it was so beautiful
I got up and looked you in the eye and said
FUCK you, for destroying my idea
It was the perfect suicide for a man
who hates himself enough to be torn to bits

Hey Friend

Hey friend
I want to you understand
What it is that I want from you
We are not aware that we are not awake
So when we wake up
We will drift back into sleep
I just want you to understand what it is i want from me
I want someone to love me the same way that i have loved before
And I need you to understand that love is shared but not that i am yours
But goddamn you complicate this everytime you try to hold me close
Goddamn it friend
I'll talk to you tommorrow

I can feel you on my hips and I know this ain’t cool
I can feel you on my head and I know that I’m a fool
God damn every thing is so fucking broken
God damn everything is so fucked up right now
Hello, hello how are we gonna do this
Hello, hello what is happening right now
I am unsure of what I am doing
I am unsure of what it is I want to do
With myself or with you
Hey friend I think its time for awkward silence
Hey friend I think its time for angry violence
Hey friend I think hey oh shit
Hey friend I think he’s going away
Tell you the truth I don’t even know what this song is about
Tell the truth I don’t even know what my life is now
Tell ya truth I don’t even know what I’m doing tomorrow
Sure as hell don’t, I am dead, I am dead, I am dead
I am dead, hear my voice tomorrow
Hear my voice in the hallway
Hear my voice in the morning
Hear my voice when I’m calling
Hey I miss you, please come back so I can kiss you
God damn.

I cant even tell you how much i miss you right now
there is a hole and i cant remember how i filled it
it is getting deeper and it just might pierce the skin cause
I've been trying to learn how to be by myself
I am an introvert by nature and an extrovert by heart
It pains me to see you as you fall apart
So lets gather up the twigs that last over days
and lets build the fire that might as well burn us alive
I wouldve sent my poems
but it wouldnt have been worth anything cause
i havent seen your face in too long
i am in pain and i miss the feeling of
finally not being alone
alone
alone

The sky is grey
and I am the solitude in our chit chat
Because as long as you have a tumor inside you
you are going to hurt and we dont want to see you hurt
As we walk across the backyard
I think back to how much this has meant to you
The planes fly above and the damn rooster crows
You told us to just love
stop the fucking "shouldn'ts"
This tent we are sitting in you grabbed off the side of the road
You said it would come in handy one day
it never did till now
You said "all the people here walking around who don't have cancer
should be fucking grateful"
fucking grateful
