Everything goes back to you
Even the city and the full blue moon
In your room there is a drawer
With a picture of me you ignore
And, I'll admit, I have the same
But I open it every day
Even time won't tick right
If time won't slow then nor shall I
Every time a second leaves my grip
I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill
Everything has been changing so
And it's just far too much for me to bear
I'll show it in a cryptic way
I'll dye my skin, I'll cut my hair
I'll pass you notes in science class
I'll cut my skin to make you laugh
I'll cry alone in the back of the school
I'm sure you'll find me and you'll cry, too
Even time won't tick right
If time won't slow then nor shall I
Every time a second leaves my grip
I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill, I kill
Oh, and all this time I've been wondering why
You could never return my pining cry
But I'd been chasing a ghost,
A ghost
Thinking I could ever get my hands on air
Trying to make a connection with my lonesome stares
But that's just not how love works.

"My soul only bleeds for you"
Is what I'd say to you if you were real
This fire had burned my bones and charred my skin
My soul only bleeds for you
Wrote a list of all I wished
With a dried up pen and a bloody wrist
Wrote how I used to feel for you
And how you used to think of me
My soul only bleeds for you
My soul only bleeds for you
I'm dying for your notice
And I'm killing today
Today is worthless
Tomorrow I'll be dead
The past is my heaven
The past is my heaven
The past is my heaven
My soul only bleeds for you
My soul only bleeds for you
Don't you see how my pain rocks you to sleep..?

Why'd you have to go so fast?
I'm sorry if I weakened your bones
I should not have put my heavy
Words
On your shoulders
Why'd you have to go so fast?
I should not have put my Soul
On your shoulders
I'm sorry that I made the rain stronger
I'm sorry if I weakened your bones

Sacrifice
04:00

I believe in many things;
you aren't one of them
But I believe in the faith
That I find deep in your skin
The feeling ate my soul
And spit it back out again.
Forgive all the wrongs
And all of the pain
But this will always bleed
With the pouring rain
For you, I make the sacrifice
I cut my heart out, and I make the sacrifice
And I sleep in shedded skin
As I make the sacrifice
(As I make it right)

The first of September

Today is the first of September
It's been a month since he last called
The walls have been closing in,
And he's been standing tall.
Today is the first of November
I know the sky will turn
Black in the daytime
I'll try not to find the time
To let it get to my head,
Let it get to my head...

Germany's Sibylle Baier was my first real introduction to writing folk music, and she is the reason I always have my guitar in C standard tuning.

Snail Mail - Audiotree Live
by Snail Mail
I love Audiotree. They always seem to get the best performances out of the artists they have on there. Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail displays her vocal abilities and intuition as a life-long guitarist.
