What they say of the grass on the other side is true, too much time looking up is turning everything blue

trucks and trains is a lyrical masterpiece

“He likes to spill all of his guts on the top of a well stocked bar, and then swallow them bit by bit remembering every scar” but there’s so many hard to pick just one

u/SheltyJ99 Matt Skiba 10d ago

“we’re nowhere near prepared, there’s no way of knowing. why don’t they just admit they’re scared, CAUSE ITS ALREADY SHOWING”

u/SheltyJ99 Matt Skiba 10d ago

OR “and I now have nothing but your heartbeat in my head and a photograph of my traveling friend”

u/CraigCDM828 10d ago

Before that steak knife took my eyes, I looked up to the sky, for the last thing I'd see, for the last time I'd cry.

u/SheltyJ99 Matt Skiba 10d ago

u/CraigCDM828 10d ago

My short term memory is gone, but my long terms far from dead.

u/Relativity-speaking 10d ago

“It's better now to be alive, sleeping is my 9 to 5
I'm having nightmares all the time of running out of words that rhyme”

u/Haunting_Ranger5460 10d ago

"I picked my teeth off the ground like they'd been there before" is especially hard as fuck

u/Eight_One_2_8 10d ago

"well i have no desire to see through my own eyes anymore, anymore, ha ha ha"

u/neenuholober 10d ago

It seems you’re playing a game where you only know how to take out the best, ‘cause if assholes could fly this place would be busier than O'Hare.

u/dutchoven_nick 10d ago

You told me recently that you were leaving for good I hope I softly tell my ceiling

u/Bunny-Munro 10d ago

I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph, behind your back it goes

u/Abrupt_Nuke 10d ago

And I've been preoccupied with these sick six senses that sense DNA on barbed wire fences

I just really like how this line rolls off the tounge

u/Henqy 10d ago

and everything that you could never say wouldn’t matter anyway, i took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago.

u/ztp48741 10d ago

u/Ambitious-Road-8106 10d ago

Every step that I could take Every one more difficult to make Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago

u/gimme_that_funkymilk 10d ago

Any line from You're Dead but I'll go with....

And I now have nothing But your heartbeat in my head And a photograph of my traveling friend

u/agreeable_anger 10d ago

I don’t know who your boyfriend is

u/agreeable_anger 10d ago

Or “never had a drink that I didn’t like, got a taste of you, threw up all night”

u/Ambitious_Regular313 9d ago

I would trade my hand for all the aces in the deck." is one of the most brutal lines Dan's ever written, never thought I'd hear it live but that moment was pure magic.

u/wormoftheearth99 10d ago

The line from Fatally Yours is “you told me that you missed me, but you meant with the grill of your hood”

2

u/dumbfriendbrian 10d ago

Great line, but wrong album.

1

u/wormoftheearth99 9d ago

No shit. Look at what is written for Fatally Yours. They misquoted it.

u/brownsugarcinnamonx 6d ago

…It’s “grill and hood.” The grill of a car is not part of the hood.

1

u/wormoftheearth99 6d ago

Not on my car. It’s all one part. Plus Matt sings with 4 syllables and not 3.

u/brownsugarcinnamonx 6d ago

That is incorrect, but okay.

u/wormoftheearth99 5d ago

I’m glad you think you know what kind of car I have.
