Fighting for my will to live
No more time to give
Hush, don't say a thing
about how I must feel
It's not gonna be like that
No, no
It's not gonna be like that
It's not gonna be like that
Chased you up the hill
Knew you were a losing fight
Just killin' my time
Didn't I give you everything?
Didn't I give you everything?
Didn't I give you everything a friend
could ever give?
So it's not gonna be like that
No, no
It's not gonna be like that
It's not gonna be like that
It's not gonna be like that
No, no
It's not gonna be like that
It's not gonna be like that....
Fighting for my will to live
No more time to give
Hush, don't say a thing
about how I must feel

Sitting in diners,
Counting my money
How much spare change can I give today?
Shouldn't be in town without 20 percent
but I'm desperate
Can't stop rewinding
It's always bad timing
Chorus:
Drugs in my backpack
and no one to blame
My life is a walk of shame
We could have burned bright together
Took one wrong turn to make its way forever
but forever will pass
when we're kind hearted at last
How dare you show integrity
through days like these
If this void of connection
seeps through everything I do
what can I do to roll my eyes
back in my head
and pretend
I don't savor everything you've said?
I can't stop rewinding
It's always bad timing with-
Drugs in my backpack
and no one to blame
My life is a walk of shame
We could have burned bright together
Took one wrong turn to make
its way forever but
forever will pass
when we're kind hearted at last
If I fall through the ground
and my heart is a whisper
can I give you away on your wedding day?
Or kiss your hand through the dirt
just because you're doing better?
I want to sink
I want to stink
I want my filth
(Chorus)

Please cry
Do anything to feel sober at all
Do anything to feel at all
Please don't hide from me
I won't hold out on you forever
it's just..
one thing led to another
and it all started makin sense
Loneliness turned to alcoholism,
to cynicism, to soft nihilism
I just want us to stay alive
out of desperation
I don't want to hate you
and I don't want to hate myself
There has to be a way
to change the way we live
I'm shivering
Please cry
One thing led to another
and it all started makin sense
Loneliness turned to alcoholism,
to cynicism, to soft nihilism
I just want us to stay alive
out of desperation

This is a song to my guilt,
a song to anyone left breathing
I've been trying for four long months to
keep from dying
It's hard bein sad,
let's try on lonely instead
No room for regret on such a long drive
Spin the bottle again
Let it ride
I'm sick of debt collectors
I'm sick of senators
I'll be damned if rape isn't considered a crime
I'll be damned if poverty robs me blind
What can you do with a cold sexist judge?
Make calls all day but it's never enough
Stop the extortion of votes
keep your word
You said you want a revolution well,
it's me and you
I love myself sober
I love myself queer
You couldn't change that
I won't surrender my strength
Learning to let go of parasites
I just want to be a good host all my life but
now I can see straight and it's alright to be alive
Stop the extortion of votes
Keep your word
You said you want a revolution well
it's me and you
The only way out of self destruction is
being honest with ourselves
Let's go out tonight
I don't wanna die anymore
Let's get dumpster pizza and
hold each other I
never wanna lose someone
to indifference again
Hand in hand you are my home,
my true friend
