we leapt across an open wound
and stitched it up
with our fingers glued together
we did it together
we made it together, didn't we
mmm
how'd you relax with him in your head
he shot you up
and left you for dead, forever
it's not forever
i'd save you before then anyhow
he threatens you
and i push him away
but i don't know if he's stronger than me
please, i'm afraid for my baby
i'm afraid
he whispers
she doesn't love you
she's above you
we shiver
hold each other tighter
don't listen to what he says
he's calling you and i'm
afraid of losing you to him
and you're afraid of losing me to him too
but keep your chin up kid
you tell me
cause with eyes to the sky
it's easier to breathe
but the problem is you're all i see
hold on, who's that
behind your eyes
addiction's right
where your anger hides
if you're looking for a savior
baby, it isn't me
but when the clock strikes
tells you time to go
i'm not leaving
i'll always be by your side
i'm bleeding for you
i'm grieving for us
but i'm not leaving
he whispers, she doesn't love you
she's above you
we shiver, hold each other tighter
don't listen to what he says
he's calling you & i'm
afraid of losing you to him
and you're afraid of losing me to him too

if you'd like me to
i could be a sink
i could watch you sink
down my drain
i leak stupid words
my mouth gets ahead
i first asked you here
then worse, asked you to my bed
ripped the label off of the person i'm not
stuck it to my throat so that i might talk
like i was relevant
like i had some intelligence
but please, don't get the wrong idea
i just do this for the hell of it
don't you fall into my dirty water
if you begin to boil
i'll make it hotter, watch out
wash out your mouth
this isn't holy liquid
don't you bathe in what you spit in
i just wanna be clean
i just wanna feel clean
impossible, it's impossible
to touch me without a consequence
impossible, it's impossible
to love me without suffocating
impossible, impossible, impossible
listen, sir, if you don't mind
can i take a minute of your time?
not for you, but for me
so, i'll make each moment seem
like i am listening
like i think you're king of the world
while all the while
i'm the one who's stealing your girl
and your money
i think that's funny
bitches don't scare me
mister, beware me
no, i don't need help
trust me i've already tried therapy
don't tell me
that i'm just sad and broken
i already know that
don't tell me that i'm just stuck in the past
i just wanna be seen
i just wanna feel seen
impossible, it's impossible
to touch me without a consequence
impossible, it's impossible
to love me without suffocating
impossible, impossible, impossible
impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible

swallowing you down
03:16
|
|||
|
in a warm bed
you're dripping with sweat
you're finding somewhere to run
taking it slow
not knowing where to go
it's not turning out
the way that you want
open up an eye
there's no light in the sky
you go one level closer to crazy
and with a sigh
you make another slight mistake
thinking maybe this time
he'll save me
no one will be lighting your sky tonight
so let's barely get through together
and at least pass the time
has anybody told you
he's swallowing, swallowing you down
i think that i'm following
following you down
la da da da da da da da da da da da down down
down, down, down, down
take a look around you
and see what you see
you're obsession unwound you
and left you lonely
how do i let go
you cry, i was alright
but now i can't even
believe in anything
you've become a whisper
of what you used to be
what you used to be
as he gets louder
you get softer
you get smaller
please just let my chapping lips close
this isn't what i asked for
this isn't what i've died for
god knows, only god knows
has anybody told you
he's swallowing, swallowing you down
i think that i'm following
following you down
la da da da da da da da da da da da down down
down, down, down, down
has anybody told you
he's swallowing, swallowing you down
i think that i'm following
following you down
down, down
down down, down, down...

afterglow
02:31

he is his own sun
vitamin d to my heartbeat
right of passage to my mass
is it bad that he has what i lack?
never backtracks, never asks that of god which he can't do himself
his thunder is rumbling in me
it's humbling to be tumbling
he leaves heliotropic dope
in my nose, in my throat
in my thoughts, in my hopes
in fact i'm floating on a hope-high
i hope i never come down
because if i fall today
i will not be able to cling to your rays
or sing your praise, or sing to pass the days
or sing to dilute the haze around the sky that we call home
being with you is another way to pray
i hope you know that when i leave your majestic presence
from head to toe, i am bathed
in afterglow

broken benches
05:10
|
|||
|
i'm sitting alone on a broken bench and
trying not to fall, to fall
to fall, to fall, to fall back in love with you
the crooked legs on this damn chair
are weak as my own
bending under the weight that i bear
when i bring your heart home
and in the quiet
we're beating in the silence
we're coiling the thread of our hearts together
we're crying for somebody
to save us from each other
it would help
if you helped me help myself
and get away with the life i have left
but you're not gonna
give me anything you don't want to
ooh,
we're walking a dangerous road
please slow down
so we can talk this out
we're running low on heartbeats
soon, we'll be run down
is love supposed to hurt the ones in love
is love, is love, is love, is love
is love, is love supposed to hurt the one's in love
is love, is love, is love, is love
it's easy to relate
when it's getting late
and all of you is craving saving somebody
and you ask hold my hand now
hold my heart now
and that's how we were
we were both craving saving each other
but we were both so far gone
we are so far gone
and as i picked myself off the ground
you'd grab my heart, you'd pull me down
you'd paralyze me, paralyze me
with your sticky-sweet sound
i'm stuck in it
i'm drowning in it
you're lying to me
this is not my shit
you brought me here
now get me out of this
ooh,
we're walking a dangerous road
please slow down
so we can talk this out
we're running low on heartbeats
soon, we'll be run down
is love supposed to hurt the ones in love
is love, is love, is love, is love
is love, is love supposed to hurt the one's in love
is love, is love, is love, is love
is love, ahh...

i was crazy once
02:18
|
|||
|
sitting in a psychiatric hospital
this might be tragic
if i was the type to even care at all
how bad i have it
i'm not sure how i got here
'scuse me sir
i think i'm lost here
tells me sweetie just be patient
there's a couple stipulations
we must prove you're not insane
and we must pick apart your brain
cuz we know yours so well
all your secrets, you must tell
here's some pills you'll probably sell
once we put you back out on the streets
never thought i'd be institutionalized
i never guessed what all of this would do to my pride
but i might as well
live it up while i'm in this hell
let's see if i can cheek my meds
convince them that i'm fine
go to bed and then sneak a few lines
promise mom i'll be better this time
if you think i'm crazy on the outside
you should see all the shit i hide
but you just remember (if you can't tell)
that the truly crazy ones can't be helped

white warrior
am i your princess tonight?
cuz this crown don't feel right
it's heavy and it's muddying my mind
tell me, do i look pretty in the moonlight?
tell me, was my loving alright?
these scars were hardened
but easy to rip apart
the wounds become the past
the past becomes who you are
but maybe i can let the cuts
heal a little before i write myself off completely
i'm not afraid of a little blood
who knows, maybe i'm tougher than i thought i was
so i'll let it bleed, let my heart beat
every sound, innocence
in the ground, in a sense
i have found innocence
oh me, oh my
i've got poison dripping down my legs
i'll let it bleed, feel it all
feel everything, in a sense
we have lost innocence
but not all of it
oh me, oh my
there might be hope in the pit of this
was i the type designed
to sell love cheap
seems like even when i'm not giving it
it's taken from me
but maybe i can let myself
raise these hands and take a stand
and yell
and scream for the weak
the real warriors will speak
we'll wipe off the dirt and grease
we'll tell everything
and we'll let it bleed
let our hearts beat
every sound, innocence
in the ground, in a sense
we have found innocence
oh me, oh my
i've got poison dripping down my legs
i'll let it bleed, feel it all
feel everything, in a sense
we have lost innocence
but not all of it
oh me, oh my
there might be hope in the pit of this
oh me, oh my
there might be hope in the pit of this
oh me, oh my
hope in the pit of this
oh me, oh my
there might be hope
in the pit of this

feather soft on my skin
heather, how have you been
you look a little sad today
but what can i say
i'm not doing too great either
you say 'i can't believe you'
when i try to tell you
how beautiful you are
it's our chance to make it
so let's take it
we've got a choice now
we finally know how
we'll fly to chicago
la la la la life will find us
as time ticks by
and stars will be
whispering our names
the sky's cocaine
will write us into forever
my heather
i never thought, i never thought
angel wings would feel like this
they may be broken baby
but they're good enough for me to kiss
you're good enough to feel this love
you don't have to be so tough
anymore, anymore
i keep feeling the illinois wind
let's forget the past
aren't we good at that
we'll fly to chicago
la la la la life will find us
as time ticks by
and stars will be
whispering our names
the sky's cocaine
will write us into forever
my heather
and we'll fly to chicago
la la la la life will find us
as time ticks by
and stars will be
whispering our names
the sky's cocaine
will write us into forever
my heather
will write us into forever, my heather
