i only hurt you 'cause you say that you like it
i'll only rent you 'cause you said i can't buy it
i'm gonna use you so i say that i tried it
i'll grow to hate you 'cause i know we're both lying
we can fuck and pretend that this is not dying
we can dance and pretend that we are not crying, crying baby
and everybody that we get so close to
and every throat that we hold and bite
is another piece of myself i've tried to
cut off and burn but you say you don't mind
it makes my heart sick
it makes my arms twist
to overcome this
to get right through it
is it really so wrong to want you this much
is it really so wrong to fall in love with your touch
our hearts are prosthetics, our feelings are boundaries
imaginary
a longing, we're falling into these arms
i know that i'm bleeding, i'm aching feeling
i am repeating all of the same lines
i know the places where we try to hide
i'm not a victim, you're not a victim, baby
i'm not a victim, you're not a victim, baby
i'm not a victim, you're not a victim, baby
you're not a victim, we're not our victims, baby
in this empty house with nobody home
you know it's better when you think you're alone
so let's have some drinks and i will drive you home
it makes my heart sick
it makes the skin split
and all i wanted
was to get through it
we can fuck and pretend that this is not dying
we can dance and pretend that we are not crying
so come, come on darling
come on and be my darling

field of fog
04:26
|

|
new emptiness, new ways to lose
you should never trust what's in front of you
new emptiness, new ways to prove
you should never trust what's inside of you
you're good enough to make promises to
but not good enough to keep
when they want you they take you off the shelf
and when they don't they put you to sleep, they put you
i never thought they put it in you
i know it's in me, too
i never thought they put this in you
it's growing inside me, too
in a field of fog you felt it there
in a field of nothing you started to care
and it started again and it started again
but you didn't like the way you wear
your smiles, synthetic
togetherness, false
another half-promise
another resolve
and you want to know where everybody goes
when they know you're not around
and you wish somebody would give what they take
but that someone is never found
'cause you're good enough to make promises to
but you're not good enough to keep
when they want you they take you off of the shelf
and when they don't they put you to sleep
they put you
you're good enough to make promises to, but you're not good enough to keep
when they want you they take you off of your shelf
and when they don't they put you to sleep, they put you
in a field of fog you felt it there
in a field of nothing you started to care
they're just playing charades, such a stupid mistake
that you thought this was more than a game
in a field of fog you feel it there
in a field of nothing your started to care
they're just playing charades, such a stupid mistake
that you thought this was more than a game
this was more

in our skin

how'd you get me back here?
i said i'd never return
i guess i got your message and
i guess i never learn
we dress to impress under duress we make it clear
we want out of here, out of here, out of here
oh, you know i've missed you
can i pass out on your floor?
i hope you won't mind when i ask for a little more, a little more
i love the way you don’t make me feel
i love the way you don’t make me feel
none of this will ever heal, none of this was ever real
broken glass from fogged-up mirrors
full of my dysphoric fears
i can’t tell you where i’m going
numb from where I’ve already been
i don’t care just what i’m doing
trapped inside this set of skin
i'll bite against your set of skin
i love the way you don’t make me feel
i love the way you don’t make me feel
anything against the wall
standing here waiting to fall
covered eyes with shaking hands
liquid listens and demands
ice blue empty beautiful
nothing fills this endless hole
flow and fall and feel so full
empty spaces take control
i love the way you don’t make me feel
i love the way you don’t make me feel
none of this is ever real, none of me is ever real
hands that fit around your neck
it's not cheating if it's just a peck
if i could reach right into you
there is no telling what i would do
and the more you feel the less i don't
the more you would the more i won't
another drink and we'll be fine
i think we could use another line
licked off your skin that i will bite
towns like this have claws dug deep in our skin
in our skin, in our skin, in our skin, in our
towns like this have claws dug deep in our skin
in our skin, in our skin, in our skin

nocturnal youth
03:29

is it so wrong
to want so much?
my throat won't let me swallow
all the things
we follow
have fallen apart, fallen into the dark, fallen into the dark
have i fallen in with you?
is there nothing left to do?
you took me in, you took me in
my throat can't swallow
all of the things we borrow
we follow tomorrow
like a mirage of nocturnal youth
i want to hold the hands you held me with
i want those arms so close but i can't do it
is it so wrong to want so much?
to miss the touch that lit up these eyes
no little lullabies to sing
nothing will bring back sleep
frozen in the deep
in the deep
i hurt myself again my friend
i know this is a brand new end
i hurt myself again ex-friend
i know this is a brand new end, brand new end, brand new end
i miss the things we used to do
i miss when i had trust in you
i miss the things we used to do
i miss when i had trust in you

here in our box
here in our cage
we're still locked up
it still remains
static that bathes the face
all of this is just another charade
i can't understand why we withdraw these hands
all these plans, new demands fall away
into our yesterdays
nothing has happened for you
they only happen to you
they only happen to you
they only happen to you
just like you
i don't want to be with people like me
i honestly think we should leave
i don't want to be with people like me
i know that we are so incomplete

scars
04:21
|

|
you held me while you cried
i held you while we lied
you laid in my arms
nodding along with every word of mine
we meant it all, the things we said that night
but i think this skin could use new scars
i’ll never drain out this heart
i think this skin could use new scars
another cut just makes another work of art
she says leave, so i’ll leave you here
no more friends to hear these lies
no more moments seen through these eyes
i think this skin could use new scars
i’ll never drain the poison from this heart
another scar is just another work of art
leave me alone, don’t pick up the phone
don’t leave another weeping message at the tone
don’t think too much, my dear
another lie, another line
you said that everything was fine
but now have we have said goodbye, goodbye
i think my skin could use new scars
i'll never drain the poison from this heart
i don't like to think
i don't like to think about it, about it
of where you've been, i don't
i don't like to think
i don't like to think about it, about it
of where we've been
another cut another line
another wasted fucking high
and you motherfuckers can tell your lies
and these long sleeves will not disguise
the marks we put upon the arms
they gave to me a different harm
but now i will give myself new scars
i think this skin could use new scars
i think this skin could use new scars
i think we should erase this heart
don't think too much, dear

electric you
04:28

you see this rain?
it looks like you
our electric hearts
don't know what do
our neon hands are cracked and new
i wish that i could look just like you
and i wanted so much to take it apart
to rebuild the center and restart this heart
but our mechanical prowess was never for you
and i'm electric pink and you're electric blue
and we hold our hands and we walk apart
together so far, we pull away in the dark
and you said i'm a fire but i feel like a spark
and you said i'm a fire but i feel like a spark
you see this rain?
it looks like you
electric pink
electric blue
how long?
how long do we have?
do i have you?
