Your every kiss bit into my skin.
I'm bleeding out,
I'm bleeding in.
And I don't know if you love me.
And if you'll stay here, or if you'll leave me.
And you don't know if you love me
Or if it's faded?
Or if it's fading?
Or if it's coming?
Or if it's staying?

Though you tried to hide it, it still came clear.
You do not have to worry, your secret is safe with me.

For you

I am as bad as you. I am as good as you. I am the same as you.
I am the same as you.
I know sometimes it is hard to be weak for somebody that you used to know.
Although it certainly seems easier to lie, and pretend that there is nothing inside.
Can we just take the hard road tonight. I promise it will be alright.

I could be everything you need.
Please just allow me time to think, and I will form a plan inside all of my dreams.
Tomorrow I will cook us a meal, while we deal with reality and stitching up our bursting seams.
Maybe there is a way, to search minefield of questions, and get what we want.
Just for this one time.
Back then, I did not know it.
Now I do not have the means to show it.
I am not there but I really miss you.
I hope I find I way to work this whole thing through.
Far away but the stars are the same
You are gone but my hope for us remains.
The future is ours tonight.

Pulling through
02:54
|

|
A quiet midnight with me and Catherine
riding on this carousel and feeling terrible.
I'd be so happy if I found out you died
buried under rafters that are covered in fire.
Only you.
Only me.
Buried under rafters that are covered in fire.
Empty tombs are a miracle somewhere.
Praying to the bottom of a heavy car's bumper.
You're alive!

Rat Poison
01:41
|
|||
|
A box of rat poison under the kitchen sink,
fancy cups with nothing left to drink.
Short carpet losing structure at the seams.
Angry rashes slipping into the back of your jeans.
Slow dancing to the sound of the flapping moths,
Silent waltz with no plans in place to cut us off.
Ramen cooking on a single burner stove top.
Soapy water on your back and I'm not so lost.
No clear indication of where the fuck we're heading now.

Struttin'
01:38

Everybody wants to run that's cool
I'll be walking behind, seeing how far you go
It's a pig attitude, gotta do what you do
Tell me why don't you walk, don't care how bad you are.
Why don't you walk, every night you
Grind your teeth until they're diamond dust
Fuck your Mercedes Benz
And your arsenal friends
You'll be so goddamn tired
Walking tight on the wire
15 minutes out there
You'll be begging to stop
15 minutes out there, you won't be
Struttin' that ass
To your funeral

Forgotten Celebration
02:23
|
|||
|
You are lost in a stream, running circles in my dreams, running far away from me.
You placed hands on my hips, you lost fire years ago.
You gaze with wonderment, to me it just feels social.
Forgotten what I told myself, to end stories with relief.
Spend my days with shuttered eyes, while you glowered at me.
Eventually we overflow from a fountain filled with lies.
Spilling out on to the floor, like that fourth of July.
Put your hands around my neck, you only have one chance at this thing.
After that you will have to know, I am out there somewhere happy.
Place a curse upon my bed, after we mutter our goodbyes.
Beg the world to take you back, I am sure they will not have you either.

If I See You Again
02:17
|
|||
|
Though you never saw me the way I wanted to be,
I know that you tried out a bit of everything.
Trying hard to make you smile, just the tiniest bit.
I know it will all be worth it if I see you again.
Oh, I may never catch you.
Do my best to keep defining who I am between the lining.
Try my best to understand just what it means to be a man.

Hit Repeat
02:31
|

|
Found a way to move between the seams
Time left on frozen and standing
One moment played out for the crowd
Our hopes exploited and thrown out
The fucked necessity to change
Can't catch me here inside my cage
Yes I know you're there waiting sweet
You're a creep won't you leave please I'm begging
If only I could
Hide here forever
Stay undiscovered
Rot out my insides
Hair piled around me
Skin barely hanging
I want to die here
You have my body.

What for? (v2)
03:17
|
|||

I spend every single night,
sleeping with your silhouette.
The real thing might grow old
but that hasn’t happened yet,
I still feel you when I rest.
When I walk in the room
with her eyes cast on the floor,
My girlfriend says that she
just does not get me anymore.
Who is she what is this for?
I tried moving on your way -
all sides left with pain.
I don't need a miracle, found the empty space okay.
The crease lines of my smile, marking how I used to live.
But now it's not the same
easier to let it.
When I get the chance
to submit to happiness,
I’ll take it without thought -
but that time has not come yet,
I still need my medicine,
Constant visits from my friends,
body pillows on the bed,
All this humming in my head,
Holding my own hand instead,
Hiding signals of the end,
Following where I am led,
Please forgive me what I said
I still need (hate) you Evelyn
She says she feels it breaking
Why’d I make the choice I’m making,
Would I throw away my future?
Missing pieces aren't the issue.

Our Failing System
01:10
|
|||
|
I didn't mean to do something wrong,
but you said that I did - so I was wrong.
I don't understand what is happening.
Did it happen to you?
Did it happen to me?
One day you'll wake up and I'll be gone.
Then who will you
assign your problems to,
blame for your weaknesses,
mark for all your pettiness?
Who will you
pin your issues on?

Time Machine
02:03

Time passed but you stayed the same.
You still pacified my sea, casually.
I wish I could just go back
in some kind of time machine.
Change some things.
Undo all the dumb mistakes,
Change the harsh words I said, to "I love you's" instead.
Hold you every chance I get.
Get more chances.
I would spend my whole life on that beach.
Please see me for what I am.
Someone who realised too late, that it was too late, and forgive me.
Forgive me.

The Dissolution
03:13
|
|||
|
I hope you'll see me
one more time before you say your vows.
And walk out
of this world
we called our own;
leave me in the smoke.
I hope I see you
one last time before we turn to dust.
And the way
you do your hair,
you're always slipping something new in there.
And the way
you do your hair
you're always slipping something cool in there.
Do you remember
the summer air?
Something warm to lift you up and hold you when you think that no one cares.
So far away
from the you -
The one that you forgot, that you gave all your happy childhood memories to.
