Do you even want me if I even have to ask?
Break it to me gently with your fingers up my ass
Kiss me like you mean it
Though I don’t know what you’re meaning
Bite my tongue until it bleeds
I’ll smile at the feeling yeah
You’re a liar push my head down when I least expect it
Choking on the words I say
I know that I’ll regret this
You’re so hot
But still so cold
Just wafting through my doorway
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say
All my dreams are damaged
Yeah I know I’m hypnotized
Hold me down until I scream or til you empathize
You’re a liar push my head down when I least expect it
Choking on the words I say
I know that I’ll regret this
You’re so hot
But still so cold
Just wafting through my doorway
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say
Nothing gives me pleasure like the things I know you won’t say

Lie Love Lullaby
03:20
|

|
I always try to get her back you know that’s why I’m showing up like that
Pass out in a day dream cum so much to memory
Twist me over the sink knock out my envy let it go
She comes through the door
She drives me crazy when she sings a lie love lullaby tease me in a sin too tight
What’s a lie love lullaby when we sing it every night?
When we sing it every night
What’s a lie love lullaby when we sing it every night?
My girl gives the world to you she’ll do just what you ask her to
call my name behind the bar kiss me like you won’t go far
I fear my innocence I remember how it goes
Pushed against the door
She drives me crazy when she sings a lie love lullaby tease me in a sin too tight
What’s a lie love lullaby when we sing it every night?
I still wonder if you’re not alone like did you move on I think I’d know cuz under the crying stars tonight her and I repeat the way we both know how it always goes
I love the scarcity
Quiet cling pretend to me
Never quite enough for me
Sing a lie love lullaby
Last time tonight
And we sing it every night
What’s a lie love lullaby when we sing it every night?
(What’s a lie love lullaby?)
And we sing it every night
And we sing it every night
(What’s a lie love lullaby?)
And we sing it every night
And we sing it every night
(What’s a lie love lullaby?)
And we sing it every night
And we sing it every night

Violet

She was older she had a dream and I fit it
She was blond but between us it was violet
Now I drive my car park it behind your restaurant job
When you get off, we’ll take off
Cuz oh I feel too visible
On the roadside I put her hand on mine and Violet cried
LA’s trash but filled with diamond candy
Running with you cuz you’re sticky sweet and pretty
When you held me like a doll that’s when I felt so fucking strong but without lust I get lost
Oh which one of us got wrong
There’s a murder kiss dying on my lips
I’d say anything to make a minute from that day one I don’t wanna throw away
Oh I feel too visible
Oh I feel too physical
Violet was a falling star I couldn’t catch or put in my pocket
Even if I could I dont think that I’d want it
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Junkie
03:34
|

I’m a junkie for you
Cuz I’d die to love you
I wake up in the evening
Dreaming of where she’s been
She’s the prayer I bury
Like the cross I carry
And heaven’s in the mezzanine
Of our church in Aberdeen
I’ll repent
Maybe not
Hold a candle up to God
If you want me you got me baby
Let your body destroy and change me
I’m a sin for the saint you make me
Let your body destroy and change me
I’m a junkie for you
Cuz I’d die to love you
I know I’m misbehaving
If I’m not confessing
Cuz she’s the prayer I bury
Like the cross I carry
And Daddy’s in the graveyard
Digging through my doll parts
I’ll repent
Maybe not
Hold a candle up to God
If you want me you got me baby
Let your body destroy and change me
I’m a sin for the saint you make me
Let your body destroy and change me
Everybody preaches someone to believe in
She’s the blow up my nose
And the sun as it rose
If you want me you got me baby
Let your body destroy and change me
I’m a sin for the saint you make me
Let your body destroy and change me

I want my innocence back I don’t wanna be this bad
But I’m so insecure these days
Still chasing the heart I pushed away
It’s like last year put a hand on my face
Over my eyes and I drifted away
Sometimes I feel you noticing me
But I’m just dragging my life into a dream
Dragging my life into a dream
Baby you were right, making up my mind is hard for me
I want my enemy back
At this house in the hills
Am I imagining her laugh?
How did I get to wishing for you?
It’s that time of the night
That’s what going to parties do
And you’re probably at one too
I bet you’re close and my friends know not to tell me the truth
Cuz hearing anything about what you do
Makes me want to drag my life into
Dragging my life into a dream
Baby you were right making up my mind is hard for me
But I wonder what you’d think of me now
That’s why I hold my breath when I go into town
Cuz I’m hoping I’ll run into you somehow
Would you drag your life back into mine right now
Would you drag your life back into mine right now
(I want my innocence back)
Would you drag your life back into mine right now
(I want my innocence back)
Would you drag your life back into mine right now

Faultline
04:11
|
|||
|
Everyday it’s Friday night
I hold my body like a butcher knife
Smiling for the camera eyes closed
Doing anything you ask I suppose
You tell me you would die to breathe me in
I know there’s no excuse for oxygen
So I will make your bed my graveyard
Let the world run through my soft parts
And I live at this faultline
Between the edge of solitude and hope
I’m shaking in a sentimental trope
And all the stars apologize for night
I don’t blame them I’ve wanted to sometimes
I don’t know what to tell you where I’ve been
My body’s just a landscape for your sin
And all the days regrets the city lights
I know its just the fault of the faultline
Every week keeps slipping by
In this imitation paradise
The angels make me sorry when I err
From the way they want me everywhere
Can’t you see I’m sinking further in
Wish you could reimburse my oxygen
I gave you everything and then some more
Left you with nothing to be looking for
Will I die at this Faultline?
Between the edge of entropy and woe
I wanted everything so much it grows
Until I can’t manage this appetite
I loved you so traumatically that I
Can barely lift the world you left for me
There’s lots of ghosts I somehow still can see
Holding onto me for our dear life
All these bodies always touching mine

Why did I show you that I can carry you?
That I’ll give gold to you?
And I’ll light up later?
I’ll stay unconcerned, when you lock my morning out
Forget that I keep it left out
And I’ll light up later
Why did I-
I show you that I
That I can carry you?
And I’ll give gold to you?
And I’ll light up
And I’ll light up
And I’ll light up
Why did I show you that I can carry you?
That I’ll give gold to you?
And I’ll light up later?
I’ll stay unconcerned when you lock my morning out
Forget that I keep it left out
And I’ll light up later
And I’ll light up
And I’ll light up later

Country Star
04:11
|

|
I wish he had taken all of me
When I got run over by a country star
When he stood over me
I said you sing beautifully
Then we drove slow to his song on the radio
He hit that note until his voice broke
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right
I wanna be your sin boy baby
Company that you’ve waited to meet
Me keep me hiding it don’t tell no one I don’t want them to see
We sit at home she smiles next to me
She’s sweet like candy
We live comfortably
Her name’s on my hip, where I tattooed it
But when I get too high in my devilish mind
I’ll make a dream to quit while reality slips
When he leaned me back in his classic car
I knew what it was like to want a country star
I wanna be your sin boy baby
Company that you’ve waited to meet
Me keep me hiding it don’t tell no one I don’t want them to see
(Don’t want them to see)
(Don’t want them to see)
With your help you put god on my mouth I’m still on that
How’d you do that
With your help you put god on my mouth I’m still on that
How’d you do that
(Don’t want them to see)
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right

Butterfly Bulletholes
03:57
|
|||
|
Are you the moonlight that shines onto my shelf?
I dreamt I held me
But I was someone else
You’re in my eyes now,
You’re clouding up my sight
You were the danger,
You were the breath of life
We were just children when I was 22
I thought I loved me enough for even you
I drank your poison
With holy water pride
I was in danger
Disguised as cosmic light
Said there’s no reason
To go on for just another day
Would you now tell me
Everything is finally okay?
Cause there’s butterfly bulletholes
On the inside of my skull
Dying was your final cry
Cause living was a pretty lie
Everything is still the same
The flowers look at me the same way
But I’m holding on for my dear life
Confusing bullets for butterflies
Now you’re the omen
But you’re the devil too
Why can I fear them
But I can’t fear you?
And what is it like?
Within the world of night
I wanna know how to live without a fear of life
Cause there’s no reason
To hold onto you another day
Cause something tells me
Everything is finally okay
With these butterfly bulletholes
On the inside of my skull
Living was too hard to try
So you’d rather close your eyes and die
I don’t think that I’m the same
Even though it looks that way
Cause I’m holding on for my dear life
Confusing bullets for butterflies

Afterlife
03:11

I’ve got no tricks
I just give you my body
Tell me a lie
You’ll disguise as a story
I won’t tell you shit
Nothing more to say
I hide monsters in my head everyday
I hide monsters in my head everyday
I’ve got no dreams
Nothing left to believe in
Nothing to grieve
As I stare at the ceiling
You’re the weight of god
And the antichrist
Wonder what I’ll hear them say
As the rumors fly
Wonder what I’ll hear them say
In the afterlife
I know that the devil sleeps
Cause he sleeps with me
I hear him whispering even in my dreams
I know the devil sleeps
Cause he sleeps with me
I hear him whispering even in my dreams
I’ve got no tricks
I just give you my body
Recite the lines
That you learned to disarm me
I won’t tell you shit
Am I supposed to say
I hide monsters in my head everyday?
I hide monsters in my head everyday
I hide monsters in my head everyday

See Me Now

Baby what I meant
Is I get thoughts that make me sick
They ask me if I’m good for this and I am
I don’t want you feeling it
There's open doors pushing on my head
And I don’t want you seeing what I fit in
What I’m worth, It goes up every night
I get paid with her eyes
Does my baby know I’m not that right?
I get stuck on what I can’t give
The internet helps me forget
That I got doors that open they push on my head
Talking mean about my strength
Like no I’m not enough like him
Oh, my hands don’t fit like his on you
Oh, he’s playful careless goes where he wants to
When I was young, for a girl I was tough
Now I’m figuring out how you see me now
I don’t wanna overthink
The things I hope her friends don’t say
But I’ve got doors that open they push on my head
Talking mean about my strength
Like no I’m not enough like him
Wondering if you’ve looked at old pictures of my band
I’ve got doors that open they push on my head

Baby got what he wanted all along
Baby got all my loving and a song
Piece of work, I’m a world away
I count the ways that you’ll never change
Close my eyes, make my dreams so real
I don’t remember anything I felt, ah
What’s love? Life’s a fraction of
All the things that I felt from drugs
There’s a haze over my eyes
I wonder if there’s any truth sometimes
I was looking at something that looked just like love
I was looking at something that looked just like love
I was looking at something that looked just like love
I was looking at something that looked just like love
God I’m lost in that sunken holy place
Sold my soul to someone that I could replace
I close my eyes cause my dreams are real
I can’t remember anything that’s left
I don’t wanna feel this yet
Something more real than I’d expect ah
What’s the point? There’s no peace of mind
That’s the truth I don’t wanna find
There’s a haze over my eyes
I wonder if there’s any truth sometimes
I was looking at something that looked just like love
I was looking at something that looked just like love
I was looking at something that looked just like love
I was looking at something that looked just like love
