lyrics

once a year I pull my mattress into the sun
every year I greet another headache like it's the first one
nowadays I find my feelings torn up for fun
I'm far too often staring down your slick little toy of a gun

set myself on fire for the people that would watch me burn
say I'll never cry, supply the bat, and now they're taking turns
look you in the eye, try to explain, but boy you never learn
counting back from five I hold my breath and feel my stomach churn

tell me that you love me and I'm hanging onto every word
tell me your so sorry like it's something that I've never heard
guarantee the moon and stars--the promises get so absurd
angels watching over me, they tell me I'll just end up hurt

once a year I take some scissors straight to my head
every year I contemplate shaving it all off instead
nowadays I struggle just to get out of bed
I'm far too often feeling like you filled me with bullets and lead

stuck inside a little town that never wants to see me go
yellow lights and drunken fights and skidding through the winters snow
say you'll never leave me and I'll sit and stare and watch you go
plant your secrets in her head I'm guessing now I'll never know

tell me that you love me and I'm hanging onto every word
tell me your so sorry like it's something that I've never heard
guarantee the moon and stars--the promises get so absurd
angels watching over me, they tell me I'll just end up hurt

his hands are warm like somebody I know
but his fists are tearing pieces from the base of my throat
his eyes are like home--they turn me to stone
and I'm trying not to work myself down to the bone

his lips are warm like somebody I know
but his mouth is breathing words hot enough to melt snow
his smile's like gold as he tells me to go
and I'm trying not to work myself down to the bone

something that I've never heard
and I'm hanging onto every word
