Favorite Joke

You might’ve broke my heart

But I write all your parts I know

It comes and goes

You ask me how I’ve been

When you don’t give a shit

It shows

It’s close to home

You said “Forget the batteries

This town’s assaulting me

Up close”

Well you’re hard to hold

I wake up in the dark

Destroying all your art

Alone

My favorite joke

Every time that I try to speak my mind

I hear a dial tone

Playing on the other line

When you wanna stand up on your own two feet

I am a welcome mat

Won’t you come and step on me?

Take my hand and lead me right out back

Flash of light in the dead of night is a lonely shotgun crack

It’s time you tell my favorite joke

I planted all your seeds

Thank god you’re thanking me

I hope

That nothing grows

You called it a reprieve

Bullshitin both eyes bleed

It flows

And it’s gross

Every time that I try to speak my mind

I hear a dial tone

Playing on the other line

When you wanna stand up on your own two feet

I am a welcome mat

Won’t you come and step on me?

Take my hand and lead me right out back

Flash of light in the dead of night is a lonely shotgun crack

It’s time you tell my favorite joke

I can be sweet

I’ll prove every word I’ve said

Do you favors not to hold over your head

I’m to blame as much as I can understand

Somebody told me love was only sleight of hand
