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 06:12
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 04:13
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

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

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
