Hey sugar, Hey sugar Just to watch you sleep. Just to hear you speak. Stay. Everything you say. You know it gives you, just gives you away Stay, Sugar gasoline. When you're nineteen, when you're nineteen. Sugar, if I keep it near, will it keep you here, will it keep you here. Stay, your leaving just gives you away. Your leaving just gives you away. Just a man that's stuck in the cracks Just a victim of the things he lacks Just a man that will never feel whole Just a victim of the one's who stole Moving forward, going blind Bleeding wrists, breaking binds I've spent my life swimming through concrete Head bent low being pounded by sleat Why spend life feeling sorry for yourself You can bend the bars and just break out I cut my bonds off at the wrist I was ashamed at how well they fit Listen to me, hear my words they're all lies they're all lies they're all lies they're all lies Tonight I walk these streets and the stars themselves will hide

We're so fucking irresponsible. I just wish we could do what's right for the world instead of what feels good. I'm a hypocrite, I hate myself so much. We live behind the glass, I feel so out of touch. Locked inside my cage, raised to live my life by despondency. Welcome to the Grey Coral Graveyard, where you will wait forever. Courage lacks inside ourselves. We always wait for foreign help. Look inside me, see what I see.

Angels with wooden teeth never trust the trees. I'm slowly learning from the damage you delivered when you sent the crushing blow. I'm slowly killing all the pain returned to sender and it's more than you could know. A hospital decked with bows. A Christmas spent curtains closed. Bad news strikes, cut me down. A suit replaced with a plain blue gown. This time you better be right or you can count me out. A death bed, burned. .can't quit. Worrying night after night.

If I tell myself that this is for you then I can keep going. The distance from my bed to the door is littered with the memories of the ones who came before you, and I know that you will start to guess who left the wrinkles on the sheets you lay on every night now. D: Look at me N: I swear this is real D: Look at me N: I swear I feel you D: Moving in through me N: This just needs to stop D: Playing with me N: This just needs to stop Embrace me Feel my warmth coursing through your bones Erase me Whatever makes you feel less alone And you start to cry As you touch my chest And I remember my bed's a rats nest And the plague is in full effect

In my dreams, I'm clutching my father by the shirt He starts to slip, he gets harder and harder to hold Pull On a ship, we outrun a wave as it breaks We try to stay, but he's just left in it's wake. Then I shift I find myself in my bed. A shadow moves it closes in on my bed. Then it mounts me it claws at my face. It tells me demons will stay relentless This time I awake it's real. Sweat pours down, my vomit stings. I'm doubled up in pain. I'm waiting for my head to heal. Remembering my home, the room where spirits would watch me I remember he would cry I swear sometimes he still watches Spirits still cry for me
