A Pastel War
02:41

Haven't we met sometime before
We killed ourselves in a pastel war
You're looking well but you lost your face
It's alright, I still kept your place
I thought we'd make it out
Your sunset still burns in my mouth
I still wake up
Under your faded sheets
I still scream out
And wait for your silent heat
I thought we'd make it out
Your sunset still burns in my mouth
God won't save you
He won't save me
God won't save you
He won't save me
God won't save you
He won't save me
God won't save you
He won't save me
I thought we'd make it out
Your sunset still burns in my mouth

Handshake

Well I've seen your face
And it reminds me of mine
And it's so colorful
Oh your hands are so colorful
Don't ever change
Not for me
Not for anyone
Don't ever change
Not for me
Not for anyone
I don't wanna fight anymore
Don't wanna waste our nights anymore
Don't wanna play pretend on your floor
On your floor
Oh on your floor
Don't ever change
Not for me
Not for anyone
Don't ever change
Not for me
Oh not for anyone
I was in love with you
Crazy right
Who knows where you kept my space
Well I'll hold this note
And I'll repeat this phrase
I'll hold this note
And I'll repeat this phrase
And forget about it
That's all you want me to do
Well I don't wanna fight anymore
Don't wanna waste our nights anymore
I don't wanna play pretend on your floor
On your floor
On your floor
On your floor
On your floor
On your floor
On your floor
Well there's no answer
So where will I put you
And there's no demons so
How will I scare you
My time is short
But your's keeps coming
My bones still break
So why am I running

Give Up

So where is my shiny bright collar
And you're selling my clothes at the door
Oh I'm not seeing straight it's scary
Well I guess I'll just wait till I'm bored
Yes I'm unhappy
But I love your sounds
Well shit it's not working
The ship's going down
I couldn't say, with each coming day
A sermon that means anything
If we could shout, and spit in my mouth
Well would our friends care if we sing
Diabolically I'm on fire
And I'm ready to sleep now baby
Well we fucked but there's something still ringing
Sucked by the lips that you gave me
So who's on tonight
Is the race going strong
Well I hear there's a rematch
At the end of this song
I couldn't say, with each coming day
A sermon that means anything
If we could shout, and spit in my mouth
Would our friends care if we sing
Four years 'round my neck
Four years 'round my waist
Oh the shit I'd do
For just one more taste
I couldn't say, with each coming day
A sermon that means anything
If we could shout, spit in my mouth
Would our friends care if we sing
Oh if we sing
If we sing
Oh if we sing

One More Heart
05:18
|

You're tied up and down
With rope around your hair and through your spine
Yes every time
I see your shadow burrow in my face, a girl in golden lace
Says "wake up,
It won't be long,
Just take a ride on cyanide
And when you close your eyes yes I'll be gone"
Then she looks at me
Every day
And after all of that
Well what else can I say?
Well if you don't want me then why do you hunt me
If you won't miss me then why do you kiss me
If this is a stick up then shoot me down cause there's plenty here to go around
There's one more heart to break apart
I'm still wide awake
And for goodness sake I'm not waiting up for you
Yes it's true
I'm running inside but I just want to hide in your bed,
Then you hold me by the head,
And say "wake up
It won't be long,
Just take a ride on some cyanide
And when you close your eyes yes I'll be gone"
Then you look at me
Every fucking day
And after all of that
Well what else can I say?
Well if you don't want me then why do you hunt me
If you won't miss me then why do you kiss me
If this is a stick up then shoot me down cause there's plenty here to go around
There's one more heart to break apart
Break apart, oh break apart
Oh break apart, break apart
Oh break apart
Oh break, oh break, don't break my heart now
Well if you don't want me then why do you hunt me
If you won't miss me then why do you kiss me
Well if this is a stick up then shoot me down cause there's plenty here to go around
There's one more heart to break apart
Break apart, oh break apart
Break apart, oh break, break apart
There's one more heart to break apart now

I want your skin
To fall like a pharaoh
I want the air
To breathe through my marrow
You're shining through
At the end of the day
I'll skip to dawn
So we can still play
Just in case
We don't come back
The voice you'll hear
Won't fade to black
I'll walk you home
And I'll do it again
I'll see you soon
That's what we'll pretend

When I see snow on the ground, I miss you
Can't help it, I do
When I see dad sleep on the couch, I wanna tell you
I can't get to New Year's without you
When I see you dangling in my car, I'm breathing
But it doesn't feel like me
When I smell smoke in my clothes, I'm choking
But I believe this is how my life should be
But I'm hoping you don't see
I don't care where the lines are drawn
Or if we drew them at all
I don't care if I never find a sign
If you need me I'll be climbing up the wall
When I see your empty rooms, I miss you
And I don't understand
Two days after Santa comes, I wanna tell you
You're a diamond in my hands

Honey Song
05:10
|

Oh sweet summer day
The June bugs make their way
To permeate
Some lost empty vase
The orchids flew away
Mountains stare so stately into space
When I see your face
I am made awake
While the sunlight simmers
Quietly on the lake
I won't mourn today
If you'd let me stay
And as I grasp your hand it melts to honey
And as you walk away your glitter shape is taking place
As you fade away
Now I think I find
Somewhere in my mind
A golden sound
Slightly out of time
If it rings aloud
Promise that you'll meet me safe and sound
I don't see your face
But you won't go away
And we're both sinking
Quietly in the lake
Solemnly, we drown
Holding hands together we go down
And as I grasp your hand it melts to honey
And as you walk away your glitter shape is taking place
As you fade away
As you fade away
Slowly, I can see you
Fading dearly into nothing,
nothing
The sun's beneath the lake
And oh for goodness sake
I still miss you
More and more each day
What else can I say
What else can I say
I won't mourn today
The orchids flew away

The Way That You Love Me
09:00

I could lose myself in you
Maybe that's what you want me to do
I'll hold your hand you'll break my back
We'll dance and slip between the cracks
It's a crime scene of gospel proportions
It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion
It's a curtain call at the age of eleven
I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven
It's a crime scene of gospel proportions
It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion
It's a curtain call at the age of eleven
I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven
Don't you ever let me go
Take me to your weathered glow
Show me that we're still the same
I still cry when I say your name
The nosebleeds of seventh grade
The silence under willow shade
The tempest from your golden dress
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce
The nosebleeds of seventh grade
The silence under willow shade
The tempest from your golden dress
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce
The nosebleeds of seventh grade (It's a crime scene of gospel proportions)
The silence under willow shade (It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion)
The tempest from your golden dress (It's a curtain call at the age of eleven)
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce (I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven)
The nosebleeds of seventh grade (It's a crime scene of gospel proportions)
The silence under willow shade (It's a Hail Mary under heavy distortion)
The tempest from your golden dress (It's a curtain call at the age of eleven)
Just kiss me and I'll acquiesce (I fell asleep at the gates of Heaven)
Won't you tell me one more time
About the heroes and villains of your design
Won't you watch me confess
You know I'll never give you, give you anything less
And when it all comes down
And I'm trying to make sense of how you sound
It'll fuck me in the head
And bathe me till I'm finally fed
You talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl
Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl
Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl
Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl
Well you talk too much
Don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half dead crawl
Well you talk too much
You don't talk at all
Now the crown gave way
To a half, a half dead crawl
The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be
The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be
The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be
The way that you love me
Might one day destroy me
The way that you love me
Is all I ever want to be
