Be Nice To Me

(album: I Hate My Friends - 2008)

I got boulders on my shoulders
Collarbones begin to crack
There is very little left of me
And it's never coming back

There are certain things you ask of me
There are certain things I lack
The beginning, we were winning
Now we're just making up facts

What's it matter anymore?
If you believe the lies I tell
There's no meaning to the words
But we still sing these songs well

If we all left it alone
I'm sure it'd work itself out fine
We keep playing with the numbers
We are running out of time
We are running, we are running

But you're a killer
And I'm your best friend
Think it's unfair
Your situation

You say I'm changing
Sorry, I didn't know I had to stay the same
Can we talk about this later?
Your voice is driving me, driving me insane

I try to write you poems
But the words, they don't make sense
My hand tries to grip the pencil
But the fingers are too tense

And I try to show emotion
But my eyes won't seem to wet
And I'd love to tell you stories
But I can't remember how they went

You're a flashlight in a dark room
For the loneliest blackout
You were all we had left
After it all was filtered out

I'll turn you on in a dark room
Right before we both pass out
I'll turn you on when I need you
But the batteries ran out
They ran out

You're a werewolf
And I'm a full moon
And all your very worst enemies
Will be gone soon

I think you're changing
Don't worry, you don't have to stay the same
Can we talk about this later?
Your voice is driving me, driving me insane

Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
