I'm Your Best Man

I was born a baby boy
And I'll die a beached whale
Washed up ashore
When my ship has sailed
Vultures eating me alive
As I take my last breath
Yea, I was born into this life
Just like I was born into this death
See, I haven't loved and lost
Cause I haven't loved at all
I tried and tried again
But it's a never ending hall
And I'm closing every door
As I scoff at the place
And when they open back up
I just slam it in their face
See, I was married, too
Married to myself
But eventually I started
To hate myself
Yea, myself I never loved
I tried but never did
So when push came to shove
I told me to shove it
But I'm sorry I digress
I made it all about me
How bout the bride and her dress
Oh, Lord, what a sight to see
He's so old, you're so new
Sometimes you think his love is borrowed
And it makes you blue
But they say it's good luck
So good luck with round two
You two will have fun till you won't
And you'll always know
That I'm your best man
I'm your best man

You Anywhere

I made the cool kids laugh as a little child
Talking back to the teacher
Mister, I don't care
Kicking rocks with the loner kid for a little while
Yea, I was looking to fill the void with something that was never there
But I can't find you anywhere
Are you anywhere
Are you anywhere
You anywhere
You ever feel like the world is out to get you
So you jump in a river and try to disappear
When I said you ruined my life
How could I forgive you
I was just looking for somebody to blame for my despair
But I can't find them anywhere
Are you anywhere
Are you anywhere
You anywhere
Now I'm a cannonball
Ascending until I fall
Gave up control is all
Gravity and the wall
Oh no, I change my mind
I swear, I take it back
I see the wall ahead but there's
Nothing to do
Too late to move
Sorry for breaking through
Now I'm everywhere
Now I'm everywhere
But are you anywhere

Grand Old Time

I felt the wave in the creek
From a tear you shed for me
And it was tidal
I heard the pin that you wore
Drop to the floor
While a crowd of people walked on by
And I heard the call to war
When you said you loved me more
So, I shot you down
And I love the things that you say
That always get me to stay
When I don't know how
We'll have a grand old time again
We're all living in a looney bin
A grand old time again
Candlelit dinner in the looney bin
Sometimes the way that you sing
Makes me weep
Is that good or bad
And I woke up from a dream
And you were lying next to me
Then I woke up again
I'll have a grand old time again
The whole world's living in a looney bin
A grand old time again
Ice cream sundae in the looney bin
We call this home
Under the ozone
Dwelling in this dome
And nature is a mother
We're all out to kill her
We're on repeat
Universe and me
You've been cursed with me
And on and on and on and on
We'll have a grand old time again
Sun shines bright on the looney bin
A fuckin' grand old time again
Stayin' out late in the looney bin

Sarah, Stephanie, Santa Claus
I want them all
And none of them exist
Yet they keep me waiting
Forevermore
But what for
Forgot what I missed
Tearing up on the telephone
But you don't know
Remember our first kiss
Then sinking into the abyss
Say I'm wrong
For everything I have done
Put me on
Stage make me cry
Rub my face
In the evil that I've become
Make me so alone
I don't hear my own voice
I've learned to laugh like the little lamb
That Mary had
Nervous at school
Sitting, waiting
For the words
That I once heard
That made me a fool
But now I hear she's got
A broken bed
To match her
Broken head
And wears her pills like some jewels
They're kicking in by the afternoon
Celebrate the moment when I got hooked
And took the bait
And got reeled in
Let's fornicate
Before you move out of state
Let's get so alone
We don't hear our own voice

I don't wanna write about death anymore
Death is boring
Everybody dies
Nobody lives
I don't wanna tell you that story anymore
It's so draining
Besides everybody dies
And I wanna live
But when it gets late I'm running
I'm dipping out the back door away from all this
I said hello, do I really need to say goodbye
Yea, I said hello, do I really need to say goodbye
We knew it wouldn't last this time
I don't wanna be that guy anymore
He's so annoying
Everybody cries
And nobody lives
I don't wanna suffer alone
Want someone to watch me
You know everybody does
And nobody lives
But hey I'll be there to watch you too
Pass the popcorn and the Charleston Chew
We said hello, do we really need to say goodbye
We said hello, do we really need to say goodbye
We said hello, do we really need to say goodbye
We knew it wouldn't last this time
We knew it wouldn't last this time
