Don't Let The Bastards Run Your Life 03:08

Title: “Don’t Let The Bastards Run Your Life.” (Plagues) (of The Lot) Can’t form words With my jaw always dropped Sometimes it’s broken, Sometimes it’s in awe Sometimes it’s cracked And you can see the light But not enough to give me any peace of mind Can’t stay afloat With this ship full of holes Sometimes we live Sometimes we die Sometimes we swim And we make our escape But we don’t stand a chance against this fucking lake Wipe off your feet We’re going inside Bring em to the throne room Make him fucking speak Unhinge the jaw I want to collect the precious teeth Cash in hand Rumored Devine light Nothing ever changes like They said it would You been talking about leaving And I think you should Gossip stones Tender moans Left untold I just can’t wait Aging groans Same old tropes Hands gone cold I just can’t wait Cut him loose again Nothing ever changes like They all said it would You’ve been talking about leaving I think you should Let me hang my head Inside this ecstasy In that violence, I am overwhelmed

One More Last Final Swan Song 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Come on now Just follow me down I’m running wide open And i’m headed south We’re all dolled up And got nowhere to be My throats swelled shut But I’m finally free Now cover your eyes And just take the ride It burns like the fever It settles like the shakes It cuts like the sound of my screaming brakes It’s tender like our hearts It’s deadly like Her eyes It’s all we can do To just feel alive It all comes together When the lights blow out And we pick through the glass Trying to figure it out It burns like the fever, It settles like the shakes Gotta get it, gotta get it now It all comes down to the those last few seconds Before we’re sent back to the lamp Let’s take a trip Maybe lose our wits Strangle the wheel like we ever had a grip I’m all fucked up And got no one to kiss Oh, I’m so cold Cause I don’t take any shit

It Was Me Looking At Myself Looking For You 06:14
lyrics
buy track
Make your presence known Old ghost If you must, Anchor yourself in my bones Commit to this Curse you’ve damned me with Please, return to me, Old ghost I told you I was a monster But still you let me in It’s pitiful It’s all setting in You washed away the old blood I painted you red again Vermillion waves For you, I ache Across the stars For you, I wait I see you in stranger’s faces In The glow from their gaze If only I were a different you If you were just a different me I can’t keep bearing my teeth I have to rest, my queen I opened up a hole in the earth Just to set you free If only I were a different you If you were just a different me Not everything will be begin but everything will end
