No Friend

Another thick red beam Another black-top town Another misspelled band burning their own houses down Another pine-box tomb to fill the cemetery dead Another star, a touch of orange over purgatory grey Another void to fill Just scattered fruitless seed Another song I wrote that's too long God knows no one needs More misguided ghosts, more transparent hands We'll drop a nickel in our basket and we'll do our riot dance Beneath another burning sky, behind our parented verses Scores of catatonic smile covered assholes in a ship Layered by the school, so you can definitely see Can you forget these things? Perfection from the paper thief Perfection you project on me Behind the window shades I'm semi-conscious, already sleepin' in the bed I made That most unrestful bed, that most original sin What they act when I let ambition win I'd hate to let you down Thrown in a web with all his lies Drown my dull reflection in a naive expectation arise Back in the casket park Back when I felt most free I few a picture and nowhere God they knew me So before the wretched men resume Before their dreaded son appears My driver's waiting So let's make one thing crystal clear You see a fraudulent form I see a shirt design I'm no savior of yours and you're no friend of mine You're no friend of mine You're no friend of mine I'm no savior of yours, you're not friend of mine You see a fraudulent form I see a shirt design I'm no savior of yours, you're no friend of mine I see myself in the reflection of people's eyes Realizing what they see may not be even close to the image I see in myself And I think I might actually be more afraid I feel like they know the story I saw a bear floating in the river and thought it was a fur coat Twelve years ago, I stood on the shore Jumped in and grabbed the coat And the river is rushing toward a waterfall And my friend stood at the shore and shouted to let go of the coat And swim back to land I let go of the coat but the coat won't let go of me In any case please let know if there's more I can give you If nothing comes of it, then just know we are grateful
