Dressed in Black

There's a chalkboard in the kitchen that reads "Merry Christmas" and had for months
Did you leave it there to signify the day you quit us
Am I just a lost kid with a broken concept of love?
Raised by two examples that both gave up
All I want is to be loved and to give love back
You should've showed up to the wedding dressed in black
Maybe things would've made more sense if they were never permanent
All I'll ever take from this is that the four of us can't coexist
Family bonds have broken down, word made its way around town
All I want is to be loved and to give love back
You should've showed up to the wedding dressed in black
If you knew on that day that there was still an empty space, you should've showed up to the wedding dressed in black
So this is how it feels when a nightmare becomes real
I can't shake this, I can't take this, but I will survive this

I've accepted my fate, that I'm just old news and I'll walk this plank until I'm discontinued
You are the sharks beneath my feet, you are the endless waves of heat and I don't care to feel you anymore
Maybe you could point me in the right direction cause at this rate I'm open to any suggestion
Any shot at a fighting chance again would leave me no option but to win, maybe you could point me in the right direction
I'll wander around my house alone, discover new ways to get stoned
Maybe light a cigarette in a desperate attempt to feel completely numb

You play this shitty game by not saying what's on your mind, no I'm not entertained I'm worried most of the time
I'll let you settle down and take all your make up off, I like you better this way when there's no front to put on
Think of all the times you've let me down and now I'm thinking of the nights that you left me filled with doubt
You've got me thinking this time that I can learn to live without
You've left me thinking this time that I can learn to live without you
Remember me when you watch the sun wake up, when you pause to fill your empty endless coffee cup
No I won't be there or anywhere, I'm out of sight without a single care
I want to wipe that smile off your face, I want to turn your blue skies to gray
I want to break you down in the worst way

Skin
02:07

The skin I'm in today is weathered from past mistakes
I've got a wound for every memory, a little token for me to keep
These stupid three minute songs have been my salvation all along
What do you do when you've got nothing left
Search for worth inside of your chest
Gave it up to all of your friends, deserted and lonely in the end
I know the way like the back of my hand
Take me away to foreign lands where I can sing all of these lines to put myself to sleep at night
Drain every bit of energy, I'm dying like the autumn leaves

Your Couch
03:16

Passed out on your couch, downtown LA
We both know punk rock doesn't pay
I'm only 21, I should be having fun, instead I'm sleeping in
Where'd you learn to be yourself in a world with everyone else?
I don't want any part of it, I don't want my hands on this diluted art that's been turned to shit
You say I'm nothing but a kid with blind ambition, talking to myself hoping someone listens
Nobody cares and it will sink in one day
Where'd you learn to be yourself in a world of everyone else? I just want to be myself cause I'm so sick of everyone else.
