bandaid heart
04:21
|
|||
like a wet dream
like a symphony
oh i got a bellyache
butterflies with broken wings
cue the metronomes
tap the telephones
i can't tell the difference
from your voice and the dial tone
wish we had met before
they spun you around the weathervane
all their horses couldn't
put me back together again
no i was never the same
like a first kiss
like a dying wish
oh i got some ailments
i'm prescribing everything
like a flat wheel
like an orange peel
oh i got a bandaid heart
that'll never heal
was i naive to think
it'd dry once i spilled everything
back in the city i get shivers
when i hear your name
it feels like yesterday
i couldn't fathom what was
coming right around the bend
bent me outta shape
when i was finally on the mend
and if you miss me
do you laugh about it with your friends
all the king's men
did they put you back together again
some days i'd rather be dead

play dead
02:25
|
|||
and when your heart’s dried up
that's when the real vampires come
it's gonna leave a real gash
once they suck your blood
and if you wanna play dead
maybe i'll rat you out
then we can play a different kind of game
one more skill than luck
and when you finally go down
nobody's gonna be around
i missed you sober
i hope you stay awhile
and when you go downtown
i wanna be the blood on your hands
the driver of the getaway van
your back door
and when you lay so limp
lost in florescent light
do you think of the fantasy land
that you dreamt last night
and is it anywhere but this
you think you'd rather be
a feeling dead as disco
on a laptop screen
and maybe in some twist of fate
i'll be the promise you keep
and if you cure my head
forfeit the memory
and when you go downtown
i'm gonna be the blood on your hands
the driver of the stolen caravan
your white horse

hot knives
02:48
|
|||
sad songs for dirty blondes
shit luck for a vagabond
but you got nine lives you’ll never die
stardust on a midnight mile
hot knives
if i could only read your mind
i would never say outright
i would be polite
variations on a theme
thank god i don't remember my dreams
or the red flags or deadbeat dads or
twelve stairs of the midnight mass
hot knives
didn’t mean to make you cry
i won’t misbehave this time
i will be polite
hot knives
i won't runaway i tried
barely made it out alive
but i will be alright
hot knives
i think i'm going out in style
down on main street everyone's an exile
so why don't you come by
and i can take you up on
hot knives
i can take you up
on hot knives

motorcade
04:51
|
|||
flipping on a frame of mind
laughing out as hard as i can muster
living on a waitress dime
working overtime
tore off all the friends you made
reveled in the lies you told them back home
driving through the diamond rain
in your motorcade
did i waste your time
like i wasted mine
when you're wrong
you're right
wonder what your mother said
when you told her he was back in your bed
asking if it's love this time
or a sugar high
saw you walk the other way
laughing out the window what could i say
shaking cause i couldn't wane
yeah it hurts today
did i waste your time
like i'm wasting mine
i was wrong
you're right
maybe most the time
he was on your mind
am i wrong
i'm right

secret
05:47
|
|||
to see it fall down
to see it crawl
on both knees
oh so pitiful
but every dog
will have it’s day
once everything slows
once everything goes away
and you’ll still be beautiful
i let you in on my secret
i let you in
it used be beautiful
for fifty-nine
autumn nights
i got sick
past tense on everything
but i’ll be happy
i got spent
once the money slows down
once the money's gone
at least you'll be beautiful
just to be in your orbit
i let you in
at least you'll be beautiful
crucified
to the countryside
dull days spent
waiting around to die
so i still think of
what you said
now that everyone’s gone
you told me ‘everyone goes away’
you're so beautiful
almost as empty as i am
i let you in
you're so beautiful
got my heart breaking wide open
i let you in
it used to be beautiful
i let you in
it used to be beautiful
i let you in

pedestal
03:09
|
|||
while the corset lies on the bed
and i'm all hung up on a vestige
like a secret never kept
say it once say it twice
say it never again
won't you come back down from the pedestal
i could drink your wine in the back of my mind
and i know you're never lonely
when your back's to the wall
but the wall's been coming down
saw the life that could've been
had it all come back for a second
like the joker in the deck
fool me once fool me twice
fool me never again
won't you come back down from the pedestal
i can waste my time while you douse your mind
and i know you think you loved me
but you didn't at all
cause you're already coming down
funny i believed in a miracle
now i get the joke it's hysterical
constellations lining the backs of my eyelids know
the archetype for all the ones
i keep sending home all alone
so can't you come back down from the pedestal
i could waste my days on the side of the stage
where i'll be wishing that i listened
when they told me to stop
cause i knew then i know it now
yeah i knew then i know it now

getaway
03:47
|
|||
this one's my getaway
the echo in your chest
three words i'll never hear
a long lost innocence
your friends wanna see you suffering
your face down in the shit
won't deny that i'm waiting for nothing
an educated guess
this one's my getaway
this one’s my getaway
this one’s my getaway
this one won't get away

shampoo
03:18
|
|||
and we'll all get to sleep somehow
i'll be singing lullabies by the time you get up
alexandra was a southern belle
dead soldiers lined up another night on the town
and i keep running to the corner store
tangled around turnstiles won't be back till i'm gone
running circles through revolving doors
four walls paper thin yeah they glow in the dark
uh huh
all the times that it might've helped
sucked it in for awhile but you spat it back out
got a secret swear you'll never tell
pulling tricks for the boys just to ride the days out
and you never did use shampoo
left a permanent mark the summer i met you
because i want you like a kangaroo
like the meaning of a dream that'll never come true
uh huh

tripwire
03:48
|
|||
skirt the line of a fantasy
dull knife shining underneath
the veil you recognize on everything
like a dream inside a dream
a wound behind a wound
your ghost story approved for the midnight society
stop the ride i think i wanna get off
straw dogs never fall in puppy love
solace in your anhedonia
just a fix could never fix it all
mask is slowly slipping
i just wanna listen
i won't speak at all
i know you're a minefield
i'm stepping on tripwire
plant a seed and watch it grow
pouring malt liquor on the soil
no freedom just illusions of grandeur
heard you slept on the other side
something malevolent on his mind
sleeping with one eye open every night
stop the ride i think i wanna get off
fourth wall breaks don't ever get this far
solace in your catatonia
just a kiss could never wake you up
starving for affection
i just wanna see the writing on the wall
i know you're a minefield
i'm stepping on tripwire

die in love
05:40
|
|||
solitaire summer days
bought me some time
elephant in the room again
but i don't mind
because if i drown
in my own blood
then i'll die in love
and that's all i want
i saw through everything
your hourglass life
but i'll turn it over babe
if you just stay the night
we could drown
in our own blood
we could die in love
kiss off the deadbolts
let me drown
in my own blood
let me die in love
i'd wait so long
