I'll tell you all of my secrets after this vile of truth,
Cause I respect you and lying would be uncouth.
I can't see, I can't see how you'd never ask why,
I don't get it, I don't get you don't look at the sky.
Behind walls, behind walls there are things that we hide,
Behind walls, behind walls there are things that we hide, ya did you hear it that time?
You don't notice or worse you don't care!

You don't notice or worse you don't care!
Don't care, just stare!
The night is young and kids aren't dancing,
I'm too old to start a fucking punk band,
Yeah, I know I am just part of the problem,
Yeah, Yeah, it's just a fucking symptom.
No joke.

Got these words in my pocket,
Can't determine the order in which way they will go.
My mind's been blank lately,
Like a sponge that's been wrung out too many times.
Standing on the corner,
Screaming at my neighbor who's got nothing to say.
On the phone with Mother.
Taking bruises and beatings and buckets of guilt.

I never knew the woman behind Grandma,
That's on me, I didn't take the time.
It must have been so hard living on,
Without your beloved John.
You spend your whole life watching bad TV,
And treated life like a daytime soap.
Was there a point in being so damn mean,
Did it fill, did it fill a hole?
Do you recall?
Do you remember me?
(Broke my trust)
(Let me down)
(Broke my heart)
(Built the walls)
(Locked the gate)
There goes your memory,
You're a candle out of wax,
And only the smoke will linger.
You said I couldn't sing,
That always bothered me,
Just another stone in my shoe.
Humiliated me,
In front of Mom and Lee,
Our late night talks were private.
I know I won't be there,
When you're anger finally leaves,
It's just another stone in my shoe.
I'll lose my mind as well and die someday like you forget my life my love by my side will kiss and hold my hand but she'll die too along with fifty two canton.
In the absence of memory is where we'll meet again!

You won't eat tonight and you owe rent from last July and you don't own a phone but pay the bill but when you're feeling low and want too... Remember that I love you and I will be here when your day goes bad.

When I was a kid you stood over me, while I was asleep.
Your hands on my skin/your curse upon me, while I was asleep.
The red in Mom's eyes/the tears on her cheeks, the secrets I keep.
When I was a kid you took it from me, and I'm still asleep.
I bear the weight of the family shame.
It's funny how I'm the one you blame.
I bear the weight of the family shame.
The void in your eyes/the welts on my cheeks, the secrets I keep.
When I was a kid you snuffed what was lit, while I was asleep.
I eat like a pig just to swallow your shit, and I'm still asleep.
I bear the weight of the family shame.
After twenty years it still hurts the same.
I am the face of the family shame.
It's funny how I'm the one you blame.
While you were touching me I was having a dream of a family love that was pure and deep.

Oh, where to go tonight: Rhein Haus or somewhere "divey"?
Should we leave The Hill? Oh god, no way!
The Unicorn is alright, but lately it's been weekend douchey.
We could use our phones to get Postmates.
The Hill has changed so much by way of San Francisco.
But, should we leave The Hill? No way!!!
Cause it's hard to beat this convenience disease,
And now I'm all green of cats who live more lean than me,
I'm atrophied and fattened from my means,
It's the purrfect scene of urban complacency.
I am culpable, but so damn comfortable.
Select the event cause I'm so "interested".
At your next, upcoming show... I'm there!
...Unless it's too late, too much, or up in Fremont.
It's our charge to support the scene.
Been slamming beers all day and now I'm all day drunk sleepy.
I thought I'd leave The Hill, oh god, no way!
It's killing me, this tongue and cheek disease.
And now it's obscene to say words genuinely.
Truth is atrophied and weakened by bare sleeves.
It's the purrfect scene of modern complacency.
I am culpable, but so damn comfortable.

6pm on Wednesday.
Just got back from Trader Joe's.
Cheaper than the Co-op.
Something everybody knows.
She's got something cooking.
I'm fixing drinks and packing bowls
Though about going out.
Be we don't wanna change our sweats!
Gurrl, you know it's good to see you in those sweatpants!
Choppin' up the veggies and the tofu.
Bootin' up the Hulu and the Netflix.
You know we're gonna cuddle till we pass out!
After having din din.
She asks if I want something sweet.
She runs into the kitchen.
I put the dishes in the sink.
She's got something baking.
I fixing drinks and packing weed.
Better than going out.
Cause she just made my favorite cookie recipe.
Gurrl, you know it's good to see you in those sweatpants!
Choppin' up the veggies and the tofu
Bootin' up the Hulu and the Netflix.
You know we're gonna cuddle till we pass out!
