Like Crazy

sweet speakin' vixens got me on my knees
whenever she's spittin' these ultraviolent moonbeams
so everytime we meet our hearts collide it happens over and over and over and over again and I
got a funny feeling running over my hands
when she sings puts me down, puts me down in the ground
she's the queen of prose holding on like crazy
unusual and fine, can't get her outta my, my mind
I know you think she lives inside of my head but believe me when I say she's better there instead of
banging around this body and soul
I'm not her flawed jewel and she needs to let go cause
she's growing on me yeah she's gone nuclear now
silky soft to the skin but hard as hell on the nerves
remember her now that I forgot her name
she caught me sleeping with the sharks still driving me insane
sweet talkin' vixens are my modern disease
when she's serenading 'bout her favorite birds and bees
but everytime we meet, and our hearts collide
it happens over and over and over and over again and I
got this sensation taking hold of my hands
when she shouts I'm left in that goddamn trance
so I want it, I need it she's leaving me bursting for that
fever dreamin' deep sea divin' self-destructin' ego trippin' idol croonin' kamikaze mess we call us

please come back to the real world
we'll disappear while
diving, screaming,
drowning those conversations
under the asphalt, the lillies
and chrysanthemums
I'll be there, always,
haunting our hiding place
there's no air but it's where I could finally breathe
inside and outside rusting waves of anxiety
not a year goes by, without playing dress-up
as your favorite deep sea diver
I'll race you to the bottom of the ocean where
we'll dance with the wicked and the wasted while the pressure of a thousand songs eviscerate our goddamn lungs
and we'll be fine cause ohh that's the way we dive

Hostiles

born from the hounds and the scary
beasts that all creep under my bed
I tried my best to be just like them
cause they're frightening as hell
I'll grow my hair out long
nothin' else'll get me headstrong
my nails have bent and my crooked teeth are
devious
I lost my devil, as she caressed hers,
that voice I couldn't unhear
she taught me all she thought I knew
yet I stand the fool
ripping each other to shreds
somewhere deep in our heads
we're at it we're at it we're at it
again
well she's coming for me now in the dead of the night
I'm running for my life and now I can see the light,
it's a twisted snarl and her fangs curl harder than diamond
wicked is the game and I still love the pain of our malevolent kiss and your hostile reminisce
it sinks down deep piercing through my skin
these jagged gorgeous edges have never felt smooth
so why don't you come over here, let me see what you can do!

crazy little thing, guess I'll try it out it's the new thing kids are ragin' about
but I'm writhing in pain I can't stay awake so my friend pulled me close and she leaned to say
it's okay it's cool, darlin' you'll be fine
I'm your rock, don't you worry about that electric shock
it's the best sensation when you feel that buzz
easy as she does, oh yeah got me superfuzz
well I found my spirits now I'm such a whore
left adrift and jaded like you adored
that timeless place and space and time we chased
they called you a dreamer and its all a waste
cause your lips are frozen and my fingers blue
nothing left but dirty songs to ignite to
and let the sorrow deluge our maws
I'm telling you man, superfuzz'll make you crawl
come with me
even if it's just in my dreams
come with me
so I won't leave
alone

Paper Shoes

I've been all over it's been on me
it wrecks my soul to its core
who could have guessed that it all would have ended down
just like this
these scenarios we dreamed up for ourselves
they're playing on high repeat
man it's so easy when it's raining
and there's all hell still breaking loose
it's just a filthy road and I got paper shoes
you know I wear them so goddamn good
it's like a new fad to rock these blisters and this flannel too
you like your hip hop yeah you love those tunes
you get your kicks off to EDM
did you ever find your rhythm or do you still
fancy them bedroom blues?
when you hear the music are you gonna get down
and swing with me and my paper shoes
I dig your neon eyes and your leather clad steel toe boots

Mad Girl's Love Song

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I think I made you up inside my head
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I should have loved a thunderbird instead
at least when spring comes they roar back again
I shut my eyes and all the world will drop dead
I think I made you up inside my head
I'd fancy you'd return the way you said,
but I grow old and I forget your name
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
and sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane
I think I made you up inside my brain
I shut my eyes and all the world will drop dead
I think I made you up inside my head
I lift my lids and all is born again
I must have made you up inside my

Wanderlust

tear off your velvet soul, if it's what you need
solemn tales confessed from the wanderlust in me
I'll whisper things you've always wanted to hear
treasured words so hollow they echo, reverberations completely disappeared
Do you remember the nights when we'd dream of sunshine?
impressions in our eyes, them demons inside
cynical and desolate, they're varnishin' your style
If I'm so in over my head, then why the hell does it feel like I'm drowning
I'm drowning

Violet

there's a girl who lives way down under the sea
with the kind of soul you would only see in dreams
she sleeps inside so comfortably in the crashing of the waves
safe from the vengeful and torrential rain
although her voice is magic
all that she knew was tragic
but it's fine
she's got violet eyes and a lovely bed, the bohemian life she used to live
is quite a few years past its welcome
she plays with sharks, electric eels and of course a giant octopus
the most terrifying one she could find
I'd sink down in the ocean
just to see her eyes in motion
I would drown for her
she's so good at being young but will she grow old?
in her mind it's all the same so we sing and swim and sleep and learn
together
french exits and no so-longs
and I'm locked in my sheets again
phantoms appear, they're flooding my years
and killing 'em away
those violet eyes and warm pillows all left to dust
and decompose as she wanted them to go
I don't think she'd like the color roses her mom chose
she was never one for style, instead, she just sang
oh she sang

Sleeper
05:21
|
|||
|
under the sheets, we killed it with memories
records of joy, violence and madness soothe
those monsters I kept, orchestrating our doom
endlessly, so beautiful and cruel
I've fallen asleep next to the turnstile
listening to your vampire love song blues
burst together, everybody at once
don't be afraid, I'll be there to help you bloom
imagining don't mean a thing
when you're sleeping right here next
to me
come with me
even if it's just in my dreams
come with me
or I'll leave alone

Home

her eyes would gaze through the morning light
frantic like fireflies dancing in the night
was our ocean too deep to sink or swim?
some things may never change
they just stay the same
I always felt it wherever we roamed
her touch brought me back to whispers of home
I can't tell if its a murmuring well
or a doomed from the start flight to hell
one I'll never know
did somebody take you home?
or did you leave on your own?
could you even call it a home?
that place to rest your bones?
can somebody take me away
somewhere far away
to a place I can call my home
so I can be alone?
