We've torn each other down
so many times in life
Loved each other, lost each other
Cause we were so alike
But I want you to know now
I'll always be
your little hazel eyed boy
you wished sweet dreams

And mother I wish for you
all those sweet things
To dream of the better times
we've never seen
And I know I might have said
I didn't care
but you're everything to me
and you always will be in my heart

I know sometimes you don't
feel like an angel
but I think of you every night
You're always on my mind
And I want you to know now
you'll always be
that beautiful woman
who rocked me to sleep

So mother I wish for you
All those sweet things
To dream of the better times
we've never seen
And I know I might have said
I didn't care
but you're everything to me
and you always will be in my heart

I know it's so easy
to fall into darkness
but instead I hope you might find
memories with fondness
TV shows that would always make us laugh
Hospital rooms where you'd hold my hands

And mother I wish for you 
all those sweet things
To dream of the better times
we've never seen
And I know I might have said
I didn't care
But you're everything to me
and you always will be in my heart

Party Crashing Mix

Letter To My Mother (Home Session)

Sitting on the bank
with my dearest mister Yeats
and I just can't stand to think
of what I still might have to face
or the ache of all that's happened
of all that's passed away
and I know there's no god
to take my pain when I pray

So if I have to die like this
Never even knowing bliss
Then dress my body
in shoes and cloak
and send me to sea
in a little boat
built for sorrow

If you ever funnel all my
luciferous love
through the rose that is my heart
Well I hope you'll think of me
just one time as good
as you abandon my vessel
and leave the slough of old art

If I have to die like this
Never even knowing bliss
then dress my body
in shoes and cloak
and send me to sea
in a little boat
built for sorrow

I just wanted
to look at the sea and smile
To finally be able
to run from my pain a while
But my weary life
of mourning and moons
was built the same way
as a cloak, a boat, and shoes

If I have to die like this
Never even knowing bliss
then dress my body
in shoes and cloak
and send me to sea
in a little boat
built for sorrow

Built For Sorrow

What if I don't wanna wake up
in the morning
to the start of another day
that's just the end
of another shitty week
I feel so weak
In the passing of all this time
wasted at my feet
Wasted on the echo
of the thoughts I keep
and I struggle to keep in line
while they're waltzing through my mind

But hey man
It's just another god damn day
we're gonna make it out anyway

You know we're not the same
as an empty brain
behind a stupid face
Yeah, we're always gonna be
a little bit out of place
but that's okay
I'd rather be out of place
with you my friend
than trying to keep pace
with this worthless race
for another god damn day
we're gonna make it out anyway

Another God Damn Day

I used to be oh so holy
rapture still didn't take me in its arms
if you here me way up in the promised land
I've got a message I'd like you to send

I thought I felt your spirit
and I woulda nailed myself to the ground
But I think I'm answering my own prayers now

If god gave me the gift of life 
I kinda wanna return it to sender
and if he heard me beg
who really didn't have enough love for sinners
so if you ever think of coming around
just remember I don't need your light
I just want you to bring the lightning down

I looked around for mercy
but I didn't see no merciful things
Just a whole world of people
trying to fly with no angel wings
So if you're up there on your heavenly asses
Up in the clouds
Know that some of us don't give a damn
if you give a damn now
If you're up there getting drunk on ambrosia
laughing at the world of men
I've got a message I'd like you to send

If god gave me the gift of life
I'd kinda like to return it to sender
and if he heard us all beg
who really didn't have enough love for sinners
So if you ever think of coming around
Just remember I don't want your light
I just need you to bring the lightning down

No I don't really want it
Nah I don't really need it
So fuck it
If you aren't gonna show me something real
I'll do it myself

Message of Grey Letters

I remember the first time
I heard the thunder roll through the rain
Now I wonder
if that thunder is gonna roll again

I've walked too far now
to only just be comin back around
and I still can't wash out
all this blood from my hair
Sometimes my feet they just sink
right into the ground
and god ain't got no mercy to spare

But I still look at the sky
for some cracking of light

One day I think I'll take that lightning
right by its throat
cast it back, and I'll say
"What did you want from me?
What did you want from me
when all I wanted was one more beautiful thing?"

Beautiful Thing

To You All

Fun--Key

Comprised of half-functioning matter plagued with dysfunction and negative light. Sometimes I eat sounds when I sleep, and I always fail at pulling those dreams from my throat. So this is what's left.
