I may be addicted to David Bazan lyrics. I was listening to the Pedro the Lion Song called the Poison today, and his lyrics are just really really strong in this song.
The poison makes its way through my body slowly
Into the pleasure centers of my brain
If you were here I would admit that I’m an asshole
But now it’s over and I can’t stay sober
Though it isn’t like I tried
And on the front porch, or on an airplane on vacation
Or out for dinner in a NEARBY town
I was so proud just to have you sitting with me
But now it’s over and I can’t stay sober
Pour and swallow
Follow one shot with another
I’ll keep on till you agree to come back over
Or until there are X’s on my eyes
My old man always swore that hell would have no flame
Just a front row seat
To watch your true love pack her things and drive away
Those last three lines grab me every time I listen to this song. I seriously don’t know how he does it, but it’s the perfect ending to the whole Achille’s Heel album in my opinion.
