This is my favorite chord
I use it to remember
All the times that we cut our baby teeth
It moves like you
All bronze and brazen
Up against the dark

Sometimes I wanted to kiss you
Sometimes I wanted something to kill

The power in the ashes, by and by
The people that you think are lesser than
Your young mouth's immortality, these things will soon be gone
That's just my luck, how like a man

Gamble your reputation
On the temporary pleasures of the flesh
It blooms like a virus
Bursting from a cell, into whatever's next

Somebody needed to love you
That somebody needed to be me

Your rage pressed into diamonds down below
The colors you inhaled straight from the can
Each broken bone and dial tone, these things will stay as ghosts
That's just my luck, how like a man

Your smile's a bounty
At 16, who's counting
The pressure is mounting
A migraine again
It's a taste of the black mold
The madness that takes hold
Never been one to be told
A brat til the end
And you should know better
So smug and so clever
Grab hold of a tether
And don't ever leave her
These forces of nature
Are just what happens
When an act of God
Meets a non believer

The tryptamines and traumas you collect
Sunburns that will fade into a tan
The need, the fat, the cancer, coded in your DNA
Well that's just my luck, how like a man
The mythos that you write for all your friends
The complex shapes you trace out with your hand
The faith that there is something out there better for us both
Hold them close, how like a man
