(Verse 1)

I hate to break it to you but I ain't what you drank and threw up

I'm not a 2 buck chuck but a uppercut up the gut of new stuff

I grew up tough, and lived a thousand lives too much

My mind is fucked up and cut from archam asylum bruised up

I mused much and drank in every fuckin thing about you

I lied to myself and said I hated everything you do

But it ain't true, the pagan in me even prayed to make it work out

Then I tossed away the thought and patched up my inner clout

Fuck it all, I made the call and gave in to my desires

Plotting hollowed pockets of water to put out the coming fires

You don't have to push it down, I know you want it as bad as I do

Or you never would have smiled like I pierced your eyes through

I get it, this is more complicated than strangers sittin

Across the bar locked in an instant all fiery and smitten

But you know it's meant to be, your playing games in a reverie

That make this field of dreams more level to see these falling leaves

Chorus:

I threw a rock into a frozen pond hoping to make ripples

But all I did was break the ice and toss in a few nickels

Wishes thrown upon a soulless ear covered in icicles

And all I can offer is this bouquet of star thistles

(Verse 2)

I lie awake, head aching and taking time to make courage

Thinking of all the things I did to mistake and discourage

This hankering nervous nelly felt the jelly down my spine

And I can't shake the world enough to make the stars fall in line

I fuckin hate you because I love you and I can't fuckin have you

I feel like my mind is gonna implode trying to cut through

All the logical reasoning and the why's for cannot be

Rearranging reality calloused me in this fallacy

Monocle over my third eye, squinting to see through the lines

Of this gift basket and whether strings come attached to it

And if so should I unwrap it and pretend that nothing tragic

Will come of this so bliss will at least slightly touch my lips, but

I can't drown out the how bouts what ifs and why nots

For my mind is bending logic 'round these consequential thoughts

Looping past a reasonable doubt and ignoring the losses

I've been whoring out my sordid story to afford what the cost is

Chorus:

I threw a rock into a frozen pond hoping to make ripples

But all I did was break the ice and toss in a few nickels

Wishes thrown upon a soulless ear covered in icicles

And all I can offer is this bouquet of star thistles

(Verse 3)

Now maybe I can make the ice melt and conjure waves like the ocean

If you could just get rid of your guilt and find devotion

All you do is cater to others and do nothing for yourself

I think it's time you stepped up and took your feelings off the shelf

I gotta be honest I'm not stopping till you give in

You told me you have feelings, so why the fuck won't you bend

This is getting frustrating, waiting on a change of heart

I wish I could just go back and rearrange it from the start

Take back all the wasted time I spent chasing her to no end

Lonely code of misanthropes poking holes in boats to mend

Ghosting sober notions mostly coping with the aftermath

Stoking coals and holding close the burning inner wrath

Broken song and dance, passed on this bastard of a trance

Cast a spell with a crass clad doppelgänging chance

Clogging my arteries with tar and I can feel my heart stopping

Slipping back into blackness as I felt it start dropping

(Chorus)

I threw a rock into a frozen pond hoping to make ripples

But all I did was break the ice and toss in a few nickels

Wishes thrown upon a soulless ear covered in icicles

And all I can offer is this bouquet of star thistles
