Wasted you woke up with wasted with friends Wasted you woke up wasted and swore its near the end Wasted I swear I'm not wasted again

Had a dream you were walking You had a kid in your arms and when I woke up I realized Your lullabies were just songs and now they're singing alarms I had a dream I owned several pairs of crutches and they gathered dust in the corner of my room but before I could see what they were good for I woke up to my speakers blasting Sun Kill Moon
5.
I was 5 when we got the door never seen this much of you before cradled with the others tight Im sorry that was your last night I was small and you were small But you had your teeth and your claws My arms couldn't keep you at first it took a few years till we got well versed You'd howl along with my tunes I never knew to play but to you It never changed a thing Your voice was strong and I knew that you loved me
6.
Take me with you I can meet at the river banks I can meet you Where the sun Meets the trees "Give yourself some balance and love what you need" Walls are closing And I'm stuck to my bed I'm so lost it hurts my head Find the nurses I'll wait at your feet Thumbs Petting your hands You can't speak

Part 1: I wanna be buried deep Will you come for me? Take apart my head and show me what you dissect I'll wear the dirt like sheets and I'll freeze Part 2: I'm not the star of the show should've known but whatever I'm not the star of the show should've known but whatever I'm not the star of the show should've known You were better I'm not the star of the show The less I know the more I weather I'm not the star of the show I just wanna go home but I know better It's whatever
9.
Can we take a walk like we used to? Further than around the yard sing to me like you used to You and me we aren't far apart Buried beneath my grim grin In regrettable childhood sin Carry it with me to the park I love you but I know your world is getting dark Oh long live the king and your couple of forgotten names They left you inside of your home Waiting for another skeleton ring on the phone
10.
Part 1: Time to go home No more bones Shaking my phone And I'm too stoned To hear your weird song I just want To go home Part 2: Everything feels so rehearsed Trying to find the balance of blessings and curses Never witnessed grimness like this Part 3: It feels like a regress it feels like a big mess it feels like I made it and it feels like im 80 I feel like an adolescent its yanking at my sleeve and taking me for granted and it feels like your last hit and it feels like the foot of your bed and it feels like your bad breath and it feels like a piece of shit

Thanks to my buddy Cole for the riff on "Picking Dandelions..."
Thanks to my roommate Nate for the drums on "I listened to Sun Kill Moon etc etc"

My roommate makes cool films, and he was nice enough to let me play this song for him in one of them.
