- A Brief Dissertation On a Night Spent Talking in a Boston Accent
I won't cut my hair in hopes that all I ever was can grow alongside who I am today. All I'll ever be is a gas station bouquet of roses a last minute thought and a waste of air. I won't smile a lot but I won't cry I sure as hell won't let anyone inside I still don't sleep most nights not because I'm scared but because I'm not alive

[Verse 1]
Wiping my eyes of sleep
drinking yesterday morning's coffee
slam my head against the wall
put the same black jeans on
wear a hat so you can't see my hair
[Pre-Chorus]
- Blissth
[Verse]
Let me be the drug
That you use to fall in love
The heroin that keeps you warm enough
Let me sink to your skin
Like water in a wound
Stitch me up when you are done
I want to be the water in your lungs
- Blonde Hair, Black Lungs
When you told me you were leaving,
well I couldn't feel my mouth,
because all I'll ever be is someone else.
As I watched you walk away,
I felt something in me change.
My heart froze over, all emotion dripped away
(Chorus)
- Corrigan
all i wanna be is the one you sometimes miss
when you're with your friends
i wanna be the spit that tingles on your lips
and if you find yourself scared to be alone
all i wanna be is the house you call a home
all i'll ever be is the sound of grinding teeth
the autumn wind that blows your hair
- Dirty Ickes
When we broke up you told me to try and find myself,
so I found myself in someone else's bed.
You could say I'm a fool, but you've had four boyfriends since,
and I've learned to love myself more than I could ever love you.
So I taught myself French,
so I could tell you I loved you
in ways that you could never understand.
- Fluorescent Black
I felt you whimper, and I felt you shake
Collapse in my lungs, and I felt your shape
I was a boathouse, alone on a lake
Clear in my thoughts, an emptying fate
You were like water, drown in my eyes
Breathe in my voice, with each one I take
- Fuchsia
Flower girl
I am not what I seem
I'm the reason
Your leaves are withering
My sun has set
And I will never keep you warm again
How I long to be in bloom for you
- Leaf Ellis
Another night spent in my head
Wishing for the moon to consume me instead
Peeling back skin to reveal innocence
Incapable of feeling all of these thoughts in my head
Another night spent with my thoughts
Praying for someone to absolve me of all that I want
And the moon howls too
- Mediocre at Best
Nobody likes me, that's what i tell myself. I live alone in my own hell. I want to be the person you want me to be that I know that I'll never be. Nobody likes me, I hear it everyday. I talk to you to remind myself again. I feel at home here, because i'm alone here. Nobody likes me, and that's all I hear. I spent a lot of time last year learning that I don't like me too.
- Queen Anne's Lace
I wrote you a book of poems and you forgot to take it home so if you're leaving let me know, because you're the only home I have I've taken all the books I own and put them on a shelf so I can read to you each night before you throw yourself away I'm not saying that I'm right, I only want to say goodnight. I'm not perfect, that i'm sure, I only want to be your cure.
- Smoke
Sleep next to me,
tell me everything is how it should be.
When we wake I'll beg you not to leave,
tell me there are promises not meant to keep.
and your hair will smell like smoke
because you are a ghost.
I won't hold you hand
- Still Shrill
I thought i'd grow out my hair to see if you noticed, and I'd start dressing nice to make you believe that I'm alright. I'd start playing sports to be more like my brother and my dad might be proud for once in his life. Or maybe I'll drink myself to sleep because that's what I'm used to, and when I wake up I'll feel brand new. I'll start tanning my skin to feel more like my mother, because I am a ghost in size small clothes and I guess I could use some color. Maybe I'll smile, just like my ex-girlfriends. Because they can feel love, but I can feel anything. So I thought I'd write you this song so you could get noticed. You could sing it along with your friends, in the back of their Mercedes-Benz and me and my Volvo will be fine, and maybe i'll close my eyes to feel more like myself.
- Using
I started using again
Left my heart in rocky hill and a whole burning in bed
Needed a distraction from my head
Devil on my shoulder said try this instead
So I started using again
I started sleeping again
Traded late nights and sheep for vicodin
- XC
Empty of a point or view, desolate
And here's the thing: it's nothing new
Shine me up nice
Shake off the dust
Your god sees my friends more than me
Eyes red and black flickering in the moon
I won't see you now, I doubt (don't think) I'll see you soon
