Goddamit!
I love horror films
Goddamit!
I love dying
In front of
The camera
In the first act
I was cut into pieces
In the second
Layed across a steel table
In the third
I was poorly
Put back together
Later
You came over
Covered up
In fake blood
And then later
We made out
Through your makeup
It wouldn’t take
A lightning strike
To restart
This stalled heart
It would only take
A small spark
I like to keep
the plots simple
Simple
Just a killer
And her victim
And her victim
So let’s
Keep this
Simple

Mall Goths
03:31
|

They’ve destroyed
Every distraction
We once held sacred
So there is nowhere
Romantic I can take you
To cool off
So meet me in a parking lot
We can pretend
That the pavement
Is the ocean
And the bright lights
Are the stars
So tell me
Chelsea
Why was your make up
A mess?
Did they
Catch ya
In a white lie
Or a black dress?
We’ve learned to speak their language
Of complaints
And disingenuous compliments
I’m so sick of that talk
So meet me in a parking garage
And sing to me
Let your discord
Echo off
The concrete
So tell me
Chelsea
Why was your make up
A mess?
Did they
Catch ya
In a white lie
Or a black dress?

Trash Bags
03:40

Listen close through the thin walls
And you can hear the crows
Sing their sad songs in stereo
But I prefer the orchestra
Of my own home
So when I get up
It's to make sure that the windows
Are closed
First I was an architect
Of my own isolation
Then I was the king
Of a castle that I built
For myself
And okay, okay I’ll admit
I’ve been spending too much time
In my own head
And okay, okay I’ll admit
I should have taken you out
More often than I did
Cuz you were a trash bag
Sturdy and strong
Scented and pale
And I was your trash
Until you couldn’t carry me anymore
And we split apart
So this song is for the crows
That came
Circling in
I do hate those duets
That the crows do sing
I do hate those duets
That the crows do sing
I do hate those duets
That the crows do sing
I do hate those duets
That the crows do sing

Crossroads (Reconcile)
04:20
|
|||
I kinda never
Thought you’d get old
And that we
Would grow up
So very different
You found the Church
I found the Crossroads
You sold out
But I
I sold my soul
And I’m embarrassed
that I am afraid of you
Did you ever expect
To be ashamed of me?
You found the Church
I found the Crossroads
You sold out
But I
I sold my soul
You’ve got your faith
You know that I
I have my hope
I think they’re leading us
To the same place
Someday I’ll stare into your eyes
And one day you’ll stare into mine
And we will see each other as we once were
Before we joined their ranks
We will both be blank
And you will be my brother again

Jetsam
04:09
|
|||
We were 2 AM Jetsam
In a coastal town
We left the bar In a stumble
Until you fell and christened the ground
With the skin from your left knee
You looked up and said,
“Could you help me please?”
You’ve always had my attention
Ever since the moment I met ya
And if I’ve never said so,
Well I’m sorry
You deserved to know
There was stale blood on your new clothes
When we got home I looked for a bandage
While you took a shower
You came out naked
And the next few moments
Were a motion blur
You’ve always had my attention
Ever since the moment I met ya
And if I’ve never said so,
Well I’m sorry
You deserved to know
You’ve always had my attention
Ever since the moment I met ya
And if I’ve never said so,
Well I’m sorry
You’ve always meant a lot to me

Off Script
02:25
|

So yeah I get it
You were once a projectionist
Long before the format
Switched
Everything changes
Doesn't it?
So could you meet me
Somewhere where they haven’t
Switched out the streetlights
For LEDs just yet
So yeah I know
I was once a seamstress
Your costumes gotta comfortable
But I prefer to be
Naked
So take your mask off
And meet me someplace
Where they wouldn’t know
Our faces anyway
You were the writer
I was the actress
So
If you promise
to be honest
I’ll go off script
For once

Dissolve
02:40
|
|||
She’s had an awful
Afternoon
So she broke down
In the breakroom
And said:
“Let me dissolve
Let me blend in
Let me dissolve
Let me fade out”
She bummed her first cigarette
In months
Thought it be a breath of fresh air
But she just felt seasick
So she tossed it out the window
And watched the ash explode
And said a tiny prayer
On the ride home
“Let me dissolve
Let me blend in
Let me dissolve
Let me fade out
Let me be the static on the stereo
Let me drown in an ocean of white noise
Let me be the sugar in this coffee
Let me dissolve”

Marilyn Manson
01:33
|
|||
I sold my soul
To the surgeon
In exchange
She cut me open
Took out a rib
And formed it into someone
In my own image
Oh nurse,
I’ve been feeling hollow
Can’t you put me back together
Like some sort of
Deformed puzzle

Passengers
03:57

Your mother
Made me promise
Not to waste the ink
In the pen she gave me
So we used it to tattoo
A carousel into your skin
We were only temporary
Along for the ride
We were only passengers
Passing each other by
Your father
Was a firefighter
You were an alarmist
It’s no surprise
you went off
The last time
That we talked
I can't believe how I came across
In our last conversation
I can’t defend my diction
I was a dick
That’s something I’m sure of
We were only messengers
Messing
Each other up
We saw the same dead trees
On the same damn journey
Every other week
We saw the same dead trees
On the same damn journey
Every other week
