It Feels Good, Doesn't it?



It must feel good to have that kind of power over me
That kind of note that makes one screech at it's sound
It must feel good...
Grand
To know that even when I leave
Your mark is on my funeral gown
Harping on my sleeves
The gaps in my soul decorate me in Gaudy gold
As I scream out in search of a symphony ...
To sing to
It must feel good...
It must feel good...
It must feel grand to know as I play this piano
Your fingers can still fuck with the keys
I can get this out or fall to my knees
Bow to the crowd
And declare that you've won
Declare that I'm done... trying
To hide
The dust
That you left behind me...
Go ahead and feel good already.

Black Fridays



We pulled over by the high way ay ay ay
That night to Texas
Crying on you in the frontseat
While you were texting
And I could see in your eyes
What you told me was a lie
But I took what I could with hope
We fell back on the road
Our backs to the cold we fell into
That Thanksgiving night

You said you'd never be like he was
You said you'd never leave me because
Because you said you loved me
You said you'd need me forever in your arms
You said you'd never be like he was
Like he was and here you are

Acupuncture to my soul
Family ties and Dominoes they fall
So effortlessly in place
You sleep without me like it's no pain
I weep on you like the storming rain outside
I think that night you died

You said you'd never be like he was
You said you'd never leave me because
Because you said you loved me
You said you'd need me forever in your arms
You said you'd never be like he was
Like he was and here you are

Up before dawn, Dew on the lawn
I drink my coffee, you just yawn as if you don't care
As if you don't know I'm staring right into you
You give me your keys, I'm not ready to leave
But I guess you are ready for me, to go
So I won't make a fuss
I can catch the bus I'm fine
I'm fine

You said you'd never be like he was
You said you'd never leave me because
Because you said you loved me
You said you'd need me forever in your arms
You said you'd never be like he was
Like he was and here you are

Here you are
There he was
And here you are.
