Come Ruin
04:17
|
|||
You reach me and I’m breaking down
Been looking over my shoulder
I thought it was like always, then it changed
I hear you when you’re not around
I probably should have told you
Once it wasn’t right to say so, now it’s strange
And if you lose your mind for me the rest of my life,
I’ll lose my mind for you
Someone should have warned you
Come ruin
Come ruin your life with me
Come ruin your life tonight
Let’s black out the morning
If I bare my chest for you, will it break your heart
Will it drive you mad, will it be the answer
I feel you when you’re not around
I probably should have told you
Now we’re here
Now it’s never
And if you lose your mind for me the rest of my life,
I’ll lose my mind for you
Someone should have warned you
Come ruin
Come ruin your life with me
Come ruin your life tonight
Let’s black out the morning
Come ruin
Come ruin
You can
Yes, you can
Come ruin
Come ruin
You can
Yes, you can
Come ruin
Come ruin your life with me
Come ruin your life tonight
Let’s black out the morning

No Way Out
04:32
|

We leave tonight
Leave it all behind
We’ve been there for the fall
They warned us back in time
I feel the empire crumbling
Have another drink, it will be fine
We are all together for the end of the world
We’re not about to run this time
The easy streets are not these streets
Have a plan to hustle everyone you meet
We’ve got a lot to confront
Look at ourselves
Our names on bathroom walls
that we can’t even smell
I feel the empire crumbling
Have another drink, it will be fine
We are all together for the end of the world
We’re not about to run this time
I’ll move down the street for the rest of my life
Just give me a roof where I can howl at the night
You had thought
Oh, you had thought
That was your first mistake
The crime was under all our noses
You got too busy getting doses
And raging at the sky
Leave that behind, don’t say goodbye
There’s no way out
No way out
No way out
No way out…
But through
There’s no way out (no way out)
No way out (no way out)
No way out… (no way out)
But through
There’s no way out (no way out)
No way out (no way out)
No way out… (no way out)
But through
There’s no way out (no way out)
No way out (no way out)
No way out… (no way out)
But through

Essex
02:53
|

Why is there fear in your heart
Mine all got lost in your hair
Let’s roll around a time or two
And scream how New York isn’t fair
Don’t deny, we’re magnetized
There’s iron in our lungs
Can’t you see we’re drowning
I can taste it on our tongues
Skip the wedding dress
Meet me on Essex
Don’t define yourself by me
I’m not defined by you
When you’re looking at the stars
They’re made the same as you
And I am not from Jupiter
I know you’re not a god
We’re probably damned to separate beds
Made with others’ flesh and blood
Skip the wedding dress
Meet me on Essex

My Poison
03:23
|
|||
This is how we always start
This is how it always ends
Either I’m your shooting star,
Or just a devil that pretends
And where you go, you say to me,
You’ll surely have to stay
I wanted to get better but there’s something in my way
Don’t let me forget
I can’t feel
Maybe I’m dumb
Da da dum
Da da dum
And I’m growing older now
Bout time I started wondering how
I just keep on drinking down
My poison
Alone, with everyone else
Stoned, I keep to myself
You can run but you’ll never leave yourself
I tried and tried but you
Don’t let me forget
I can’t feel
Maybe I’m dumb
Da da dum
Da da dum
We don’t need another person
No one who’d leave us to our thoughts
Thought I’d see your echo in the city shadows and nooks
You were never really here or there
Or anywhere
Maybe I’m dumb
Da da dum
Da da dum
And I’m growing older now
Bout time I started wondering how
I just keep on drinking down
My poison
My poison
My poison

Nosedive
04:22
|
|||
It’s been a minute since I stopped and counted heads around me
Now in the center, I’m the star of my own story
I’ve got the biggest and the best, and they’re all staring
I’m strong enough to shock and awe, and leave them caring
It’s electricity
It’s jacked right into me
The mirror’s reflecting only everything I want to see
Leave them interested
Leave them fascinated
Keep catching rockets to the sky each time I nosedive
The fall is killing me, the parachute won’t open
I can’t come down again and wonder what I came here hoping
Keep your phone near
Hundred more, here
Turned into communion, yeah I know the god I’ve chosen
It’s electricity
It’s flowing into me
The mirror’s reflecting only everything I want to see
Leave them interested
Leave them fascinated
Keep catching rockets to the sky each time I nosedive
I see her waiting on me
I can’t face this
Can’t bear to look her in the eye, and then I nosedive
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away

Chase Me
04:20
|
|||
A long hallucination
Got used to the sensation
Now I don’t know what’s on your mind
So much for starting over
The fourth leaf in the clover
It’d do us well to recognize
And say goodbye to guardrails
Add electric as I fall
You can follow me down
Til I’m barely here at all
What’s a poor boy to do
That a man wouldn’t find true
And all I ask of you
If you want my drug, you’re gonna have to chase me
I’m a pretty thing, you’ll have to chase me
See me shimmering, you’ll have to chase me
Objectify my mind
It’s odd that you would assume
I can hold some extra gloom
When I can barely hold myself
If you’re paying close attention
Then hear my next confession
It’s a fine line between heaven and hell
And say goodbye to guardrails
Add electric as I fall
You can follow me down
Til I’m barely here at all
What’s a poor boy to do
That a man wouldn’t find true
And all I ask of you
If you want my drug, you’re gonna have to chase me
I’m a pretty thing, you’ll have to chase me
See me shimmering, you’ll have to chase me
Objectify my mind
The way you love, I’ll do in kind
You’ll cut me up and blur the lines
You’ll drink my truth and tell no lies
Every look’s goodbye
And all I ask of you
If you want my drug, you’re gonna have to chase me
I’m a pretty thing, you’ll have to chase me
See me shimmering, you’ll have to chase me
Objectify my mind
You’re horrified by what I find
This curse is not my life

Do You Need This (Faith)
03:17
|
|||
I’m sitting in your court in summertime
And I can’t figure out where the judgment’s coming from
But I know that it isn’t mine
Can you feel a scratching on your brain
A bustle in your hedgerow
If a wolf’s at your door, tell your boy he’s recognized
And I know what he’ll say
Do you need this
Do you need this
I need
Every single day’s a headline in your aching mind
Do you need this
Do you need this
I need
Every single day’s a headline in your aching mind
Do you need this
Do you need this
I need
They called the doctors and the papers and the lawyers
And they couldn’t figure out what was wrong
But I feel you have an idea
And it’s been in your head all along
I wanted to be there
I came down in fear
Crossing hearts on a black stone edge
Set fires to watch them burn
With voodoo wares and mercurial stares
Take the night, walk out in storm
But can you see I need this
I need this
I need this
I need this, I need
Every single day’s a headline in your aching mind
Do you need this
Do you need this
I need
Every single day’s a headline in your aching mind
Do you need this
Do you need this
I need
Every single day’s a headline in your aching mind
Do you need this
Do you need this
I need
Every single day’s a headline in your- (aching mind)
Distance within reason
Endless in its season (Do you need this, I need)

Crushed at Dawn
05:29
|
|||
My pain gets filtered into dissonance
I tried to stop the night with all of my might, but it’s
Melting walls and inhibitions down
Give yourself to your blood and I’ll taste it now
Oh no, I’m crushed at dawn
Like a thousand suns coming down on me
I try to run, the end’s begun
I’m crushed at dawn
We shuffle on the floor to hopes and dreams
Not yet destroyed between the work and the void, but it’s
The tides all pulling us inside the moon
Pull the blinds, shut the doors and I’ll be with you soon
Oh no, I’m crushed at dawn
Like a thousand suns coming down on me
I try to run, the end’s begun
I’m crushed at dawn
If you see me, don’t come near me in this autumn
My touch disintegrating
What if this world’s not changing
I ran and said, if I can make it there
Well I made it there
Or so I hear
Oh no, I’m crushed at dawn
Like a thousand suns coming down on me
I try to run, the end’s begun
I’m crushed at dawn
Oh no, I’m crushed at dawn
Like a thousand suns coming down on me
End’s begun
I’m crushed at dawn

Espresso and 7
03:02

Whatever happened to those nights
Watching boroughs burn
Nights turn to nights turn
The smell of sulfur
High on fumes
It smells like trouble
But it tastes of you
I’m dancing on the precipice of now
Singing to make it through somehow
I’m gonna be alright
Just for tonight
On the ashes of before
Wishing there was something more
Than what lay, lays in store
Bottles clatter, drinks flow
Nothing matters
No one, no one knows
Living at the end of an empire
For every moment we expire
For better friends the bitter end
We die again
I’m dancing on the precipice of now
Singing to make it through, make it through somehow
I’m gonna be alright
If only for tonight
On the ashes of before
Wishing there was something more
Than what lays, lays in store
