lyrics

PM stands for Phillip Morris, post-mortem, after dark
Tylenol, and ethanol, and morning's here are all false starts
I just want your heart my cynic
Take what I say but don't spin it
Sinning is less fun when you're alone

AM stands for I am restless, automatic cycles spinning
Arms are open, eyes are closing, winning is the darkest art
I don't want to fight this feeling even if it leaves me reeling
Stuck in neutral in no parking zones

You're a piece of work of art of every modern school of thought
The architect who drew you up should win a Nobel Prize

Lies are woven wire words and I've got all these lighter burns
From lighting all the candles just to try to mask your scent
I don't try to hide my struggles
People don't just live in bubbles
Bubbles tend to rise until they pop

FU is my alma mater and my recent constant mantra
I know I'm a creature comfort, you're a cannibal my lover
Break the skin and taste the flesh, it's easy for you to forget
But I've got memories that I can't quit

You're a piece of broken glass on 86th and Lex
The charlatan I met down there just tells me to relax

So I say
Hey buddy would you give it a rest
I know I've spent too much money on blow and cigarettes
Yeah you've got a certain wisdom to you, everybody does
That doesn't mean I'm looking for your thoughts on what I've done

I've looked through every borough in this god forsaken town
Just looking for an upper that'll make me feel less down
But nothing seems to dull all my synapses til I'm drunk
Stumbling out the door and screaming something about love

So yeah I've got some wisdom too so shut your plastic mouth
She said her lover now's a rat and I was just a mouse
So I will squeak these dirty strings across this old fretboard
And wonder if she grew to hate me or she just got bored

And let me finish this song up with one discordant chord
I'm broke, I'm sober, I'm upset
But I can take some more
