Fifteen miles north of the city Thirty-thousand populous town Choked up kids with hands on their ankles Heads ascending heels One house leveled onto the corner Windows bleeding phonograph sound Sometimes being twenty is useless That's just how it feels So mark up your territory, mark up your home 'Cause being with you is just like being alone When I was much less of a bastard I was still impeccably young One day I should learn how to handle Basic human life When I was much less of a shithead I still had the truth on my tongue Now I stare at girls in the venue I know that's not right So mark up your territory, mark up your home 'Cause being with you is just like being alone I put the suffix in sentimental A sordid sentient being Sick and sad and sort of psychotic A stupid little thing I put the letter into your locker And signed it with a word That I wasn't able to define That I hadn't yet heard You don't have to make me love you Chances are I already do You don't have to make me love you Chances are I'm slightly confused

Debora in commute In her brand new business suit Thought she was lookin' pretty cute But I had nothin' else to do Just a Wednesday on the train In the cold Chicago rain I can tell she's feelin' pain From the way she spells her name She used to love and I can tell it From the way her morning sweat drips Like a thousand heavy pellets Moving down across her wet lips And Debora in commute Ain't got nothin' else to do Drinks her coffee, reads the news And then prepares herself for you Debora in commute Puts on her rings and ties her shoes She's lookin' fresh and lookin' new But I had nothin' else to do The train just seems so boring On a grey Chicago morning And the rain just keeps on pouring And the homeless keep on snoring She used to love and so did I Okay, I'm just a lovin' guy 'Cause when I look into your eyes You're image never leaves my mind And Debora in commute Ain't got nothin' else to do She's so pure and absolute She used to love like I loved you Love can prick your veins Until you don't know what it means And it can stab you in the darkness Right next to where your heart is Getting over it's the hardest But I'll tell you when that part comes And love can prick your veins Until the needle prints her name Debora in commute Listens to 1980s tunes They remind her of her youth And all the good times she went through The headphones blaring loud Under the Chicago clouds She isn't bothered by the crowd Of of all the other people now I would put her on guest list If I knew what her crest was But you'd still be the first 'cause I don't want you to get jealous But Debora in commute Ain't got nothin' else to do And I ain't got nothin' to prove Except myself and that's for you Love can prick your veins Until you don't know what it means And it can stab you in the darkness Right next to where your heart is Getting over it's the hardest But I'll tell you when that part comes And love can prick your veins Until the needle prints her name Yeah, love can prick your veins Debora in commute ain't got nothin' else to do

You're in every picture together I am every picture of a bad decision You are trying to assume a crass position I have been untouched since I was in high school You keep on insisting that you'll be the exception I got tense and weird when you asked for that present Because I didn't know if you actually meant it I know that sometimes I can seem like a robot But you're the one who asked for mechanical pleasure Something isn't right and it's probably me My head feels so infected like a rotten disease And I'm not in the market for a casual nurse I'm always so impatient and I'm shaking my knees I cancel plans and you get mad You tell me you're the best I've had But you don't know what's best for me But neither do I baby And I don't mean to call you that 'Cause I don't want to hear it back I tell you I'm the worst you've known But you won't leave me alone I'm an absolute contradiction You're a mighty problem that is lacking a solvent I am someone that is trying to avoid your involvement You can kiss me there but I can't say that I'll like it Even though it stayed unkissed while I went to college I said I would never be with someone who's blacked out You said that you'd sober up for me if you had to Wouldn't be the first time I've heard that resolution Then caught a person doing drugs inside of the bathroom I don't have trusting issues, just an issue with trust 'Cause when I like someone I wanna hurl up my guts And every time there's someone who is bound to just panic At least it's good to know that it was not me for once I cancel plans and you get mad You tell me you're the best I've had But you don't know what's best for me But neither do I baby And I don't mean to call you that 'Cause I don't want to hear it back I tell you I'm the worst you've known But you won't leave me alone The mouth you've chosen to kiss my lips with stings like pieces of broken glass The words you've chosen to reel me in with only make me recoil back One day I'll stop speaking in metaphors and codes but don't wait up You're like a simile assimilating to each bud on my tongue I cancel plans and you get mad You tell me you're the best I've had But you don't know what's best for me But neither do I baby And I don't mean to call you that 'Cause I don't want to hear it back I tell you I'm the worst you've known But you won't leave me alone And I don't mean to call you that 'Cause I don't want to hear it back I tell you I'm the worst you've known But you won't leave me alone

Living with the liars makes a lonely man a thief You got no education and you don't know how to eat You feel a sickly pricking at the bottom of your skin Amazing what a man can do with half a quart of gin A drunkard and a dullard went off courting through the town They stumbled and they crumbled and they kept on falling down It's kind of like the friend you had when you were growing up Who loves you till you're older and by then he's had enough A good idea for a Christmas present You're much too young to have a Bluetooth headset A good idea for a sense of business You're much too young to have a living witness You knick you knack you pallywag you knocking on the door You start to see some people that you haven't seen before A murder in the backyard but you haven't got a clue A little bloody placard on the stone above your tomb A picture of a holiday that doesn't quite exist You've got a happy ending at the tip top of your list But when the man ain't coming how you gonna tell your kids? They're screaming but they don't know why or what resentment is A good idea for a Christmas present You're much too young to have a Bluetooth headset A good idea for a sense of business You're much too young to have a living witness Heard about the wishes that you left out on the lawn You focus for a second then immediately it's gone It's hard to concentrate on things that will not benefit The things that you will do inside the life that you will live It's burning and it's burning and it's fucking burning down You're pushing and you're pissing but you cannot put it out But that's the way it goes when you've got diamonds up your sleeve You're bound to get infected by the blood that shines between A good idea for a Christmas present You're much too young to have a Bluetooth headset A good idea for a sense of business You're much too young to have a living witness
