i'm so overrated when i'm rating myself. i'm overly dramatic, now i'm hating the help because it's true us two were meant from the beginning. but i'd rather pin this on you…and i swear my prior cause for complication doesn't compare to what i'm saving. i'm through being just another someone somewhere. you've always been the one who cared.
*maybe we've all failed to be original. baby, i've never felt so miniscule. i'm losing sleep over you, but what does it matter? what does it matter?*
the calendar is melting like it's wax on the wall. i'm screaming malpractice, counteracted by the grasp of the fall. we're singing do, do, do. we can dance around the subject; clear you have an objection or two. love lessons past due. despite all the frustration, don't have the claws for conversation like you. save me. don't let my prior blindness leave us lying as a "what if" or "maybe"
**
i see the world in you. what beautiful skies to come. just like two moons, we exist to revolve around one.

every time we break it down, it breaks us down. every time we starts to pick up, you give up. pass the blame. i want to, i want to. then cause a scene at the mall cause i can't get ahold of you. i want you, i want you. i know you see that you're more valuable than gold.
*is it true that i'm still the face that you crave close? am i still where your heart goes? it's obvious when i'm the number that your hands know to text when you wake up crying off your makeup. when reapplying your eyeliner do you think of me? will they discover me dead in the dark still hoping for your heart?*
every time she tells the truth, it's either one of two…hate it cause she's right or simply hate that she's not mine. pass the blame, you want to, you want to. i wasn't there when you needed me but now i breath in clearer skies. i want you, i want you. your skin appears that it's too far, let love bring it closer to mine.
**
when your head hits the pillow and you closing your eyes, pull the covers over as your disguise. pretend it isn't me that you see in your sleep. what's your plan? what's your plan?

the silence flooded the patient sun (dry your eyes) and burnt out all the light. like the guilt in his head to her head in her hood, (dry your eyes) she's got her gloves on for the fight. (dry your eyes) (dry your eyes) pleading "baby" (dry your eyes) "mommy doesn't know better. baby" (dry your eyes) "please kick her, kick her" your mother's eyes are screaming "kiss her, kiss her!"
coincidences in instances, persistence through ignorance. hunting for differences though they're limitless and come to the think of it, beyond intimate. paint him onto the canvas with disregard to the color scheme, but slop red paint on his face so intricately. one strike and they'll never know…one strike and they'll never know…one strike and they'll never know…three strikes you're out…"tell mommy she's being stupid, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her."
*he's got a brand new tank of gas, he's got his good shirt on. trip so illogical…oh, she's impossible.*
she's on his mind all through the week. he's on no sleep, but he's still on full gasoline. and the chills keep coming (and the chills keep coming) but she's still running (but she's still running) but there's not an army in the world that can change his feelings for this girl; he'd still have his brights on when they find him. "tell mommy she's being stupid, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her."
**
he couldn't bear to know. she stares as he goes. he's never felt as worthless. she's crying through the curtains "don't go" "don't go, don't go"
the silence flooded the sacred moon (take my time) and burnt out all the light. like the guilt in her heart to his head in the clouds, (take my time) he's got his brights on for the drive. (take my time) (take my time) pleading "baby" (take my time) "mommy doesn't know better. baby," (take my time) "please kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her, kick her."

pull me out of this quicksand fast. i need my kickstand back cause i just fall without you. and i am lost without you.
*tell me you miss me. i'm needy. you know this. tell me you miss me. if i had gone would you notice.*
your tongue disobeys your heart. let the words out. let the urge out.

tell me what you already know. tell me what i already know.

How To Make A Monster
04:53
|

can't you wait? you're saying more than you mean. your heart heart questions your mind. you'll always be my babe. your wish is to dim this candle. skip town on the next train, humbled. the fire never died. leave the city to crumble. no loss of face, no heart to break.
*slow down, let's think about it. slow down, let's think about it. you're closing the blinds, but the outside's too bright. this is how to make a monster die. can't even look me in my eyes, my insides are too bright.*
can't you wait? you deny the situation. no matter what you say, you'll always be mine. i do believe it's fate. cure my pulse, i'll fake my smile. and lure this ghost, setting traps on the map cause the ground is a better home.
**
open fire. you're scoring headshot after headshot after headshot. but you're missing the heart, babe. but you're missing the heart, babe.

take a little and give it back. take a little and give it back. you must feel so gratified…having everything. so why are you so sad inside having everything?
*come on do you feel it cause i feel, it's cold. shake your head a little bolder 'til i'm off your shoulders. you're running low so i won't ask for more.*
take a little and give it back. take a little and give it back. (so reassuring, so reassuring, you're so, so, so reassuring) if she was the only bond, (so reassuring, so reassuring, you're so, so, so reassuring) you wouldn't be lonely on this night because you have her…and him...

what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get

Alone In Your Head

i am the resurrection and the life. he who believes in me will live, even though he dies. and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. everyone is born but not everyone is born the same. i try for a big eyed girl with an itty bitty dog, in an itty bitty town, in this itty bitty world. you told me "i fit with you perfectly" i fit with you perfectly...
*it's underground. (diamonds) you have to dig. (coal) bury me with (red stone) all my possessions. my body would keep if i was (gold) alone in your head, yeah.*
(my word) my words speed up your heart rate, i plant your words in the dirt an wait. (u-turn) you turn it into a dark place, stunting growth so certainly. we got us a problem now, we got us a problem now, feels like you're big and i'm little, you're right and i'm wrong, and there's nothing i can do about it.
**
you're pouring salt into the wounds of a dying man and in your eyes. you're pouring salt into the wounds of a dying man, but it's me that cries.
(pretend) i need this ocean to drain, i walk this sand for miles to find you (pretend) i need this ocean to drain, i walk this sand for miles to find you

if i try my hardest would this matter? if i couldn't make it would you care? you've been my battery and i'm without charge. i wan't to be alive again in your arms. feels like we've been spending more time making up than making love. i know it's got your head like "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."
hush love, just light me up with this spark
*baby it's like fireworks when your skin grazes mine, i wan't to be the star in the sky of your mind. so we'll take our time at first, we can learn from our daughter, cause we outta take baby steps*
if i said you were all i needed, would you be there? if you leave i can't stand. you're the closest to heaven that i'll ever be and i don't want to go home right now. feels like every storm has it's lightning but every one has it's lining. is it wrong if i right it...is it wrong if i write it? i know it's got your head like "go, go, go, go, go boy, go...shoo." (no)
hush love, just light me up with this spark
**
one for all, all for one, this is love, this is love.
we can get through anything together, family.

bite your tongue. smashed hourglass, the ending note. i've been waiting outside, buzz me in or send me home. tie a gag around my mouth and ask me why i can't speak.
*this boy is broken like a promise. this girl is this boy's goddess. my ribs are a cage to a dying bird singing its last song.*
i have faith in us. i've been carrying this cross for months. nail me up for all to rush. with accusations of my intentions, truth untouched. tie a gag around my mouth and ask me why i can't speak.
**
tie a gag around my mouth and ask me why i can't speak. loop a noose around my neck and ask me why i can't leave.

Patience
03:32

everyday you get more beautiful in my mind. you are the twinkle that you see in my eyes. lover, let me know what it's like to call you mine. limbs intertwined. "pause"
hush boy, she's worth it. hush boy, she's worth it. hush boy, she's worth it. hush boy, she's worth it.
*my lips belong on your skin. don't deny your ears, they wanna let my moans in. the reason i'm waiting instead of taking off is cause your actions prove patience is paying off.*
we go around and round, like this cd cause you're the best actress, belong on tv. remember making love then waking up? or waking up to making love? "pause"
don't rush boy, she's worth it. don't rush boy, she's worth it. don't rush boy, she's worth it. don't rush boy, she's worth it.
**
my lips belong on your skin. (hush boy, she's worth it.) don't deny your ears, they wanna let my moans in. (don't rush boy, she's worth it.) the reason i'm waiting instead of taking off (hush boy, she's worth it.) is cause your actions prove patience is paying off. (don't rush boy, don't rush boy)
