Unopened letters on my kitchen table indicate that I've fallen behind
Ignoring your calls keeps me from losing my mind
I'm constantly dehydrated from drowning out my insides
So now I'm working on permanence of the bags under my eyes
I'm so far removed from the way I want to be
I've tried to tell you but you won't come meet me
I guess dreading being awake became a must
Around the same time I realised that I just
Sit around and think about the things that I can do without
As they become the only things I do
As I see my neighbour's Christmas tree lying dead out on the street
Alarm bells sound so loud inside my head
Another year spent hanging by a thread
Could have been spent fast asleep instead
I'm so far removed from the way I want to be
I've tried to tell you but you won't come meet me
I guess dreading being awake became a must
Around the same time I realised that I just
Sit around and think about the things that I can do without
As they become the only things I do
Like stand half-cut outside bars as I choke on second hand cigarette smoke
This life's not got the charm that it used to
My skin cracks as I rub my eyes at the bus stop under grey skies
I'm hoping that this feeling disappears
Those reassuring words you spoke remind me that it's all a joke
But I wonder why I've not laughed in years

City Mouse - Bullets

All the things they say
That you lost your way
Something don't sit right
I knew you more than to just keep score
And I know you were trying
Was there anybody else there?
I think somebody ran away
And I would too
Yeah I would too
Someone's hiding something from me
Somebody's lying to the police
And I would too
That's what we do
So come out come out with your hands up
The police police got their minds made up
And the bullet says you're guilty
The bullet says you're guilty
I know they lie
I can see it in their eyes
Something just don't jive
There's something more
About how you hit that floor
That glove don't fit right
Was there anybody else there?

City Mouse - Grave 13

I couldn't make it through your wake
So many people I ain't seen for so long
They played songs that I knew you'd hate
I can almost hear you laughing
And if you weren't dead you would have died
They had a carwash to pay for your funeral yeah
A carwash to pay for your funeral
In the parking lot of the bar we called home
They had a carwash to pay for your funeral
I don't wanna fill your grave
I just wanna pop in whenever I want to
I don't wanna talk to nobody who not you
I don't wanna fill your grave
I just wanna lay down by your side
I don't even care if you're cold as ice
I don't wanna fill your grave
Fill your grave
You would've laughed
And you'd be right to
If you weren't dead you would have died
They had a carwash to pay for your funeral yeah
A carwash to pay for your funeral
In the parking lot of the bar we called home
They had a carwash to pay for your funeral
I don't wanna fill your grave
I just wanna pop in whenever I want to
I don't wanna talk to nobody who not you
I don't wanna fill your grave
I just wanna touch your skin
I don't even care what shape it's in
I don't wanna fill your grave
Why should I?
