long live the car crash hearts

"we don't hate girls, we hate everyone."

  • Q: 27. when you were writing "nobody puts baby in the corner" what were you thinking about at the time? as a whole band how did everyone re-act to the lyrics?
  • A: I was thinking that I thought I had kind of come to terms with how I felt about someone and resolved my feelings when we wrote take this to your grave. But they just wouldn’t go away inside my head. And at the same time I guess, just how the people who hurt us are often just so irresistible that we keep going back. The line “can I lay in your bed all day and be your best kept secret and your worst mistake”- was actually something I said to someone and then wrote down as I lay in their bed and waited for them to come home. The band kind of lets me go wild with lyrics, on this song they could tell it was pretty angry- I guess. We get asked a lot if we are mysognists because of this song I think, but I want to put it on the table: you’re getting it wrong, we don’t hate girls, we hate everyone.

fuck it/this/me

Wake up to despise a world I once loved
Why would you bring me in if you knew what youd become
Curse everyone and everything even the sun, Draw the blinds
I want to be tucked in and put back to sleep only like a dog this time
Set the sails
Drop anchor in the middle of a storm
I’ve got a conversation
And a bottle to keep us warm
Let’s break it on the bow
as it sinks
hummingbird with hammers for wings
the swan doesnt remember the last song it sings
Take what you love most and burn it to the ground
the smoke in the air won’t leave me be
All around
Count the embers tell me
They don’t look like me
They won’t sing to me
If I wake in the morning I only need two more miracles to become a saint
Everything I promised everyone I’d be I just aint
Bury me with my friends
At the crossroads of dead end
And oh all my old friends
Oh Yeah I hate them
Why bother make new ones too
Just more for me to lose
Put myself in this prison called life
Got a sentence of a lifetime
But I know the warden is god
And I could get paroled at anytime
the letter begins
Dear old feuds
Don’t worry I’m headed
Somewhere new
I just hope they let me in the gates
i hope they dont have a calculator to add up all my mistakes
You can’t give me any more time than I already have
And then they sent me a postcard from hell
“Wish you were here”
I’m getting close
The gps says were near
Got a key to a lock that doesn’t exist
got a world on my back that i cannot lift
drink the world, til its forgotten about
I never know what I’m talking about
Don’t care about anybody
But the ones that are gonna carry my coffin
Will my love be the same as I left them
Will my pall bearers be the same as my bestmen?
Tell my friends to forget about becoming famous
Not that it matters this junk is so goddamned contagious
Losing it and I love being lost
Dad, tell me which is worse
Your last breath in the worst city on earth
Or your last kiss from the lips you were built to love from birth
I’m so sick of the neon lights
But every dog will have its day
And when I get mine
I’m gonna paint this world gray

    I have posted this countless times before, and yet nothing more needs to be said other than two more weeks…

    patrick: probably my best friend in the whole world. we can finish eachothers sentences. its strange cause ive never had a relationship like the one we have with a friend, ever. people try to make a big deal of him and my interactions and relationship. but honestly at the end of the day when the spotlights and flashes go away this kid is still gonna be here, and we’ll still be friends. i could give a fuck what you say, this is one of the only people in the world that i would take a bullet for. and he has more talent in his little finger than i have in my entire body. pete
