Holy Haunts 03:23
Helpless as a heart attack Your only hope is heading back To the spaces that you swore you’d Never see again 9 to 5 ate you alive Sold your soul just to survive Holding out for the day she comes back To hold your hand. The will to see yourself as something more than secondary The smokes that kill your health banished at least till February. A ghost so holy haunts, the relics of your past proceedings cats your only confidants, Loyal as their next feeding That silhouette at the lake sunset Those awful words you’d soon regret ringing out like screaming sounds from those filthy seabird’s mouths Scared to death of what comes next Little Love Letters like sacred texts Spelling out the simple doubts about such things You could not surmount The will to see yourself as something more than secondary The smokes that kill your health banished at least till February. A ghost so holy haunts, the relics of your past proceedings cats your only confidants, Loyal as their next feeding

Lake Eerie 03:24
I live my life with just one regret my time ‘ll come soon but it ain’t come yet so ill sit here waiting on the waves of lake eerie to come in and wash me away and you live your life like you wont be missed but i swear i’ve got a list of brokenhearted boys you kissed and they’re just waiting on the phone to ring and you say come back to me hold out till night this spell of bad weather will pass us by hold on in spite the tyrants of this town who could eat us alive so i took the train all the way across town to that place they swear must be burial grounds of my late ancestors and the wound that festers like a curse called out from their bones and this city speaks in terms and phrases you’ll never understand despite you’re best efforts to and those countless lesson plans like it is what it is or you know i gotta a guy time passes so slowly when your waiting to die

The snow like ashes falling from the cold Cleveland sky from the bridges that you burned to stay warm on winter nights and your heart’s like the pistons of the busted up and broken down car out of touch and out of time and unable to take you any where you want to go or to anyone you want to see. all your hopes and dreams like those doomed kings and queens don't amount to much it seems on the day we pay our reckoning no amount of schemes could ever rescue could ever set me free from my own lonesome home your plans about as well laid
 as tracks for the trains running through this town 
meals go skipped just like fairs go unpaid
 weather willing you will make it back around
 Your eyes like the lights 
That litter your living room 
Flashing bright and fading out Harbingers of your 
impending Doom or whatever new 
Malady, magically set upon you all your hopes and dreams like those doomed kings and queens don't amount to much it seems on the day we pay our reckoning no amount of schemes could ever rescue could ever set me free from my own lonesome home

That wonderful sound of keys in the hallway The pitter patter of footsteps at the door That oh so familiar tone of laughter I swear I swear i swear I’ve heard before could it be, oh please let it be it’s been too long since I saw you, since my tummy was touched too long with this awful awful man who always leaves too much I’ve been waiting oh so patiently for you to take me home just tell me who’s been keeping your head warm while I’ve been gone So fuck it whatever I guess it wasn’t her this time so cool it Henry I don’t need any of your stupid mouth The ritual it repeats over and over and over and over so I’ll bring my bestest offering this old tore up and legless mouse could it be, oh please let it be it’s been too long since I saw you, since my tummy was touched too long with this awful awful man who always leaves too much I’ve been waiting oh so patiently for you to take me home just tell me who’s been keeping your head warm while I’ve been gone

So you asked me why don’t you write love songs anymore / and I told you well darlin its just possibly / I want to write songs of friends and foes and the places I love the most / but every love song’s just the start of certain tragedy And you promised me that you would sing along, if I promised to keep writin these silly songs, but i know one day I’ll run out of things to say, but when that day comes well just go (vocalizations like lalalala lalala la or badabop badadapa) Someone told me once to shoot for the stars but keep your feet on the ground / I’m afraid I never quite understood her words / if I make to the heavens you had better believe / I’m takin every part of me when I leave this earth And you promised me that you would sing along, if I promised to keep writin these silly songs, but i know one day I’ll run out of things to say, but when that day comes well just go (vocalizations like lalalala lalala la or badabop badadapa)
