Jay Brannan - Greatest Hits

To bitter from sweet
Like liquid to concrete
It's tough to digest
Life rips through your chest
And just takes a heartbeat
You can't check your pain
Aboard the shame train
And maybe I'm out of line
But if you show me yours
I'll sing you mine
A punch in the gut
Some black 'round the eye
There's red from my lips
And i'm asking god why
There's a bump on my head
And a hole in my heart
If there's one thing
I've learned it's
That these are my greatest hits
I don't sing for the rainbow
Cuz I taste the rain
They spit cheer up and they scoff
I laugh cheer down or fuck off
Then get roughed up
against the grain
You may never be happy
And I still see your worth
Someday we'll be less miserable
We'll dye our heads invisible
Wrapped up in robes
not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
Not of this earth
A punch in the gut
Some black 'round the eye
There's red from my lips
And i'm asking god why
There's a bump on my head
And a hole in my heart
If there's one thing
I've learned it's
That these are my greatest hits
Would you read a book
if somebody took out
all the good pages
So we did some drugs
gave out some hugs
rattled a few cages
Have you made mistakes
let off the brakes
confess uncleanliness
Not to feel bad about
but to embrace your humanness
embrace your humanness
A punch in the gut
Some black 'round the eye
There's red from my lips
And I'm asking god why
There's a bump on my head
And a hole in my heart
If there's one thing
I've learned it's
That these are my greatest hits
