Who sewed the seams? Now I'm wet in envy You laughed cause I kissed you You kicked so I'd last you Save what you want It's a gift from the sun You'll miss all the fun of my bed Save what you want It's a gift from the sun You'll miss all the fun of my bed Since you lost what I loved And drove out the madness I'll give everything up To block out the shutters I mostly don't mind Your lack of abstinence But since it's returned to you I'll take our equivalence Surely the rest of my life Will pay off Just working for insurance From the word of the law Tender and warm you are Worship and scorn afar Today's without grace Wash your face Save what you want It's a gift from the sun You'll miss all the fun of my bed Tender and warm you are Worship and scorn afar Wash your face Today's without grace Wash your face Wash your face Wash your face Wash your face Watch your back Watch your back

The soul steals strength from others. It's symbiotic. The spotlessness of Lilith sits upon us Shadowed by the restless seventh night They said it's a sign "It's a sign" You told me it's a sign "It's a sign" Force your self awake Your grip, I'll break I'm headed to the southern, sin-free states Or maybe I'll just burn and burn and burn And burn But we all go wrong They said it's a sign "It's a sign" You told me it's a sign "It's a sign"

Somebody call my name It's your boy, his lost way You'll drink just for keepsake Burnt skin in your lungs See, I said it's a wall See, I said it's a wall Maybe I pass through And shit stops when I do With one look, I'm the tinman Cold and heartless, without a clue Do you need me? If not, then I'll go Your hand shakes as you wave bye You bought some gloves to keep my touch And you hold them To protect you from the truth The truth is only misery So join the world in its happy tune Lean on the arms of the brave On those who curse the devil's name You love me, don't you? If the clock ticks Counterclockwise Then we can move backwards To keep up with time See, I said it's a wall See, I said it's a wall See, I said it 's a wall A wall "Then climb over it Then climb over it Then climb over it"

Count me in, then drag me out of this hellhole Stars align and worlds a-spin For a chance to swim in the Great Bottom Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake I'd grow fins just to stay in town For a round of war and a pound of more I'd explore the waters of The Great Bottom Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake Hell can swim and hell can soar Maybe life's a metaphor For something bigger But bigger is not better We're only beggars For the time being Beings of this soon doomed planet Save the world with grass Well, plant it Plan your own goodbye party Swim with fish and dirty laundry Lawns of grass dry- Hopeless sorrow Sweetly sinking out of tomorrow Take us all, for goodness sakes, To the shore of The Great Bottom Lakeeeeeeeeee

Make me illuminate I'm so sober that I can still see what I've done And since you believe in ghosts I can assure you that you're seeing the ghost of someone sinking (in the great bottom lake) to hell Clean me out By Wednesday I can't spend three full days praying My eyes need to stay open so you don't stab my back But I'm always alright according to everyone "Who says it's your right to have one Smoke or two around complete strangers Who you've always known I don't get your ways I don't get your ways You've become so adulterated You've become so adulterated"

I basically just repeat " don't check the medicine cabinets" "Im not sleeping tonight" and "im not doing anything tonight" or a variation of those three

Endless One 02:32
Feed all the doves and let the wild ones come Oh come For every note, Bless my song Long for the right, Love the wrong Endless one Endless one Mistaken my fear for another dropped tear Oh come The burden of the calf is gone at last Oh come For every note, Bless my song Long for the right, Love the wrong Endless one Endless one Streets for the dead go to rest Hahahahahahahaha

I'm sure I said I love you But I was younger then No one felt pain like I did I did and didn't win And so we meet at night now Only me and a lack of friends You sleep while I dance with you Your in and in and in and in bed I'll keep all the windows wide open Maybe someone can catch a glimpse of true lust And now out of the way is the risk of taking my innocence I grow without you now I'm ashamed to show my skin again "Sarah, maybe we're not meant to be" I laughed and laughed and laugh still I'll keep all the windows wide open Maybe someone can catch a glimpse of true lust The window's wide open Take the risk, take the jump Since the shore of a whore sits below me now Drain me of my purpose I'll sit like the grasshoppers To just be smashed You laugh at my word choice but it's appropriate I'd give my life to get laid And I hate what I am for thinking that I wish I wasn't myself Hang me The windows wides open Fuck fashion statements! I'm the king of the world! Maybe Hannah can be another replacement. which one? Now they're tied together but one's left out I owe one myself and the other only owes me everything (underneath the sun) Stop watching me lose my mind and turn your head to the TV You've read the signs Disconnect your phone from my belly button I can't charge anyone but myself anymore You've read the signs Disconnect your phone from my belly button I can't charge anyone but myself anymore (Melt me, sell me, kill me, use me Melt me, sell me, use me, kill me) Crashed cars- what could I expect I'm where I thought the days would turn bright again Trust me, dad, I'm not crying cause you get it I only tear up cause you don't Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me I'll just beat the battle dirge Cut my fingertips and make them bleed She may cut me when I hide. She may saw the mirror when I glance at her But I wish myself a place in your nest In your selfless treasure chest, I'll rest my head Who the hell have I been singing to in all these songs There's no you, or she, or will-to-be There's no you, or she, or will-to-be Spirit of the living God, fall without me Don't help me help me Don't help me help me. Give up the fight Why are all my dreams so vivid? I must live a double life Just cut me cut me Cut me cut me Or bring me the knife And I sit to consider by life as a hasbeen Whereabouts and whenabouts What's with Or within The golden ticket promises much for good kids, but don't save the wrapper "Forget all your drugs, take the word from above. Your youth has only prospered, but not from good luck You'll never be afraid" I'm always afraid But I sense and I sense Some senseless symbolism The stuff about angels and songs of Solomon I only grasp your name I don't know your name Don't even know Don't even know Don't even know Don't even know Don't even know Don't even know Don't even know Know your name Don't even know Don't even know Don't even know Your name The question only stands as to what I represent Not anything Anything Anything but me Let these lyrics be Anything but me The question only stands as what I represent Anyone Anyone but me
