Sometimes zero plus zero equals two
If they ask me, I'll blame it all on you
Sabotaging the younger version of who I thought
Was the last one in the room
Time took you away
But at least you were mine for more than a day
So many nights spent outside
We awoke with the sun
You put your mouth on my backside
It's all I can think of
You always hated when I'd look back
But when I turn, I forget where I'm at
Time took you away
But at least you were mine for more than a day
I can still feel your heartbeat against my breast
But would you ever think of all that you left
Years from now, how you drank up the life that we
Carved out of plaster with an old butterknife
All the tears and all of the laughter
When you give up, what does it matter
When it's no longer just me and you and our older selves
Don't know what to do
Maybe I've just been dreaming of ghosts
If you ever grow wiser, you'll know I loved you the most
Time took you away
But I held you in my arms for how many days
Time took you away
But I held you in my arms for how many days

The Saddest Story Ever Told (feat. Alexa K)

this song is about the greek mythological figure of charon, who ferries the dead across the styx in the underworld but who actually hates his job and just wants to get back to greece to see his boyfriend again

lyrics:
remember when we hung out in your backyard
your dad dragged you back inside
said "that kid's trouble", maybe he was right

i'm sorry i haven't seen you in a long time
i hope you're happy in athens
i hope you're happier than me

i miss waking up with you
watching tv with you
hanging out at 2am

i'm dreaming
of finally leaving
and getting a cab to your apartment
and knocking on your door

and i'll see your face
with your eyes bright red
one day i'll be free
i'll get out of this place

your eyes bright red
casting magic spells
and i'll come on home to you
and nothing here can stop me

remember when i took this job you asked me
"what if i don't see you again?"
god help me, i thought you were joking

the boss lets his wife leave for half the year
he let out that stupid singer
so why can't he let go of me?

it's cold down here
i never get any sleep
my eyes have stopped
registering colour

but i'm dreaming
of finally leaving
and calling you from a payphone
telling you "i'm sorry"

and i'll hear your voice
like the first spring rain
i'll tell you i'm alright
i'll ask about your day

i'll hear your voice
like a shooting star
i'm coming home to you
and everything will be ok

Charon's Boyfriend

fickle freedom cracked n confiscated
cling v.s. kill the liberty left
the spoken word so fleeting suffocated
choking on it's own breath

Is this life just traced n faded to be
dark as some old oak tree
with ragged roots outreaching longing lonely
when the bough breaks

your words mean well this fight or flight
my dying cell sings "Dreams Tonite"

Bough Breaks

Lamest Horse in Town

A re-recording

when i'm walking to your place
no expression on my face
inside I'm full of fear
and I'm not here

when you open up your door
it's not a secret anymore
inside I'm full of fear
and I'm not here

Sure I could have stayed at home
but a part of me doesn't want to be alone
do I have a choice?
when my thoughts escape and I lose my voice

so when you look me in the eye
it should come as no surprise
inside I'm full of fear
and i'm not here

sure I could have stayed at home
but a part of me doesn't want to be alone
do I have a choice?
when my mind goes blank and I lose my voice
when my thoughts escape and I lose my voice
