Maybe I'll Catch Fire lyrics

14 hours ahead - a head that's heavier than lead
and I've got toothpicks in my eyes
A smile more yellow than the sky
I've got a song stuck in my head
One that I miss more than my bed
It's a song sung from a fallen milkman
Who's drinking bleach instead
I'm much like him

14 hours unfed - I spent the last cents in my head
They're worth much less than pennies now

The sunrise fills your eyes, cannot hear your cries

Pleading please just go away

I can't take another day of this

No surprise, a surplus of lies, freed from the skies

Is there something that I missed?

Can't even take another day of this

Lower than piss, have you ever felt like this?

She can't recall the last time she avoided it

Lower than piss, have you ever felt like this?

Soon ends our stay here and it's been fun
So tonight I'll raise my glass to us
'cause we've talked so much
I think we filled this ashtray twice, and I'm pretty sure
we emptied every bottle in the place, so
Let's walk home, let's be afraid
I wanna grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard
Let's do it right under the streetlight
I want it now, somehow I forgot how

Way to go, way to go

My, my what a mess we've made
of our pretty little heads these days
It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

All you've been asking for's been placed in front of you
The headaches, the shaking,
The boredom the boardroom brings
You're scratching at itching
brought by the spiders beneath your skin
The answer in question is over before it begins

Hey there sleepy smile,
I see you've brought your bedroom eyes
Not assuming you wanna keep 'em,
I'm assuming you reckon you won't

This house is full of ears but I can't talk to anyone
They've heard this one a thousand times
Most exciting thing I do
Hang half way out a third floor window,
Maybe throw lit cigarettes down
And maybe I'll catch fire,
Something warm to hold me,
Something pure to burn away the darkness
That hides inside my mind
All that evil shit's not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice

Tuck me into where it's freezing,

Tuck me into bed with snakes

Tuck me in with the tarantulas,

I wanna let 'em in my mouth
and down my throat to lay their eggs

Tuck me into where there's bleeding,

Where it spills out of the walls onto the floor

Tuck me into where your best friend's apologies

amount to shit, they always did, for ever more

I pour out onto the floor

Do you remember the story of the boy and his first date
She took him to the lake and he fell in love
She spent one summer waking up between his arms
She told him how good that felt, told him he was the one

And then she went away, his calls were not returned
He went to see her
but her eyes were burning a different stare
The focus was somewhere else
And that feeling had somehow disappeared

I've got it now, a thorn in my side the size of a Cadillac.
Drive it through, cause backin' up now would be next to impossible.
I had it all.
When I was with you I forgot about everything.
Eighteen months, eighteen months seems like fucking eternity...
but you'll be there, to dry my eyes when I breathe you in.
in ninety seven... in ninety seven.

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,

waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me

I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved

while you're taking your time with apologies,

I'm making my plans for revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons

If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge

I'd drive straight off the edge

Taking your own life with boredom,

Take your wings outside. You can't fly in here.
Besides, a purple sky is better soaring for you my angel.
You're angel, you little devil.
As for me I'll stay inside,
I'll be just fine, and I'll watch from the window.

Cannot categorize the nature of this sickness.
A miracle that you're alive-
Stuck to the roof of my mouth with a staple.
Remember last April when we saw U.S. Maple?

Well it's not fair, it's not even close
You tied me down where I'm forced to watch
As you poke holes in every part of me
Containing something secretly
Something sacred to me
Well I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
These cuts run deep, these scars are permanent
And always on display
This makes things difficult for me

The sunrise fills your eyes, cannot hear your cries
Pleading please just go away
I can't take another day of this
No surprise, a surplus of lies, freed from the skies

Is there something that I missed?
Can't even take another day of this
Lower than piss, have you ever felt like this?
She can't recall the last time she avoided it
Lower than piss, have you ever felt like this?

Today I woke up, younger than I've been in years
Not concerned with what's outside and peers
I don't have any
No one is my equal because I'm the King of Rain
Controlling with my mood swings
Threw a thunderstorm your way
Drowning girls is a game I play

Today I woke up, more awake than I have felt in years
Not concerned with anything, no tears
I'm done with that shit
