All Those Little Things
03:16
|

my big words, yea my innocence speaking
"i will build you a house, i will live next to it"
i will catch the reaper and the wolf in the flock
but i never became a carpenter
so they're lying in wait, always promising it
always are and are not yet upon us
and all that i ever wanted was all the world, all of the world for you
all of those little things that you never got, i would give you
and all that i ever wanted was to see you, was to see you happy
and yeah i can't say for sure that there's a God, so i'll be him
can't recall exactly when i stopped caring
i just got overwhelmed, i just got sick of it
isn't it strange that all my heroes killed themselves?
but i'm not, no i'm not giving up yet
"i will build you a house, i will live next to it"
even if it's the only thing i do

Caterpillars
03:43
|
|||
There will come a day
when your safety blanket can't stay safe
all the friends that you loved
and your old haunts, will have to change
but that's a necessary thing that comes with growing older
and caterpillars are ugly before they're really something
everybody hurts
everybody's living in fear
everybody thinks, that
everyone else sees everything clear
but that's a necessary thing that comes with growing older
and caterpillars are ugly before they're really something
go away, if only for one day
things you lost
and things you tried to make stay
There will come a day
when your safety blanket can't stay safe
all the friends that you loved
and your old haunts, will have to change
cuz that's a necessary thing that comes with growing older
and caterpillars are ugly before they're really something

Das Gemeine
02:50
|

heard he burned out long before the flame kissed the wick
learn to love and romanticize the end of it
on a bed of roses, hope i open every vein
be so sweet to bleed out before this love i love
drives me completely insane
never want to say goodbye to my heart racing
an orgasm in the chest and soul, echoing
on a bed of roses, hope i open every vein
be so sweet to bleed out before this love i love
drives me completely insane
always kept in motion by
the notion that there may lie
a home somewhere in between
beauty and brutality
in the hand of it's architect
holding but not holding back
find a place where pleasure lies
strike hard and splinter the mind
on a bed of roses, hope i open every vein
be so sweet to bleed out before this love i love
drives me completely insane

My Mortal Drive
02:42
|
|||
sometimes i want to spread eagle on the train tracks
sometimes i want to give the reaper a break but
my mortal drive, keeps me alive
even when i can't get myself out of bed and
even when i wish everyone would just fuck off
my mortal drive, keeps me alive
it keeps me going even if i don't want that
when i get sad i tell my problems to my songs
really pretty melodies make real good headstones
my mortal drive, keeps me alive
it keeps me going even if i don't want that

The Butterflies
03:35
|
|||
i'm just like giles corey, sentenced to death
i got this burden placed upon my heart, every single day
yea i got scar upon scar on my self-worth
it's barely recognizable even to my own self
and every evening, it's there for me
and every morning after it failed to kill me
cuz im stubborn as all hell, i won't die yet
and i'm addicted to the feeling of losing total control
i got the fleeting feeling nothing's real
i got the butterflies for no reason at all oh yea
and every evening, i'm scared to death
and every morning, it gets a little worse
i'm just like giles corey, crushed to death
and i have many hatreds in my heart, all full to bursting
but im not really hateful, i just hurt
i just had my rose glasses all scratched up, at least they look good
so every evening, i go to bed
and every morning so on, until i can't

Time to Time
02:55
|
|||
do you accept me if i hate myself?
do you accept me if i'm nothing else?
do you accept me if i'm killing time?
do you accept if i just stay alive?
even if i, break down inside
know that i do try from time to time
will you accept me if i get fucked up?
will you accept me if i never talk?
will you accept me if i want to die?
will you accept me if i don't know why?
even if i, break down inside
know that i do try from time to time
even if i, forget to cry
know that i do want to stay alive
do you accept me if i hate myself?
do you accept me if i'm nothing else?
do you accept me if i at least try?
will you accept that i want to survive?

Gift of Life
02:22
|
|||
sometimes i fucking lose my mind
dont you know i love that
there's just too many ways to die
body's a china shop
i want my brain to stop at night
cuz this is hell on earth
oh yea for the first time in my life
i understand suicide
it's our cross to bear
this gift of life
and it has promise but it's
as sharp as a knife against your hands
sometimes i want to fucking die
but i never get to it
i know life has no real meaning
so i must impart it
and so i keep this body warm
cuz it's my only one
my mortal engine, my ball and chain
this bittersweet struggle
it's our cross to bear
this gift of life
and it has promise but it's
as sharp as a knife against your hands

The Death of Me
05:50
|
|||
echo on, the snapping of a twig
or of a tree trunk, both die out into the woods
you'd like to think that we're like this for good
that i can defy the urge of chaos to assert control
and then one day it's cut from you
and then one day your personal belief system don't cut it
cuz it's uncaring and it's cold
no matter if you're happy, if you're sad, you will get sadder
and there's no running from this world
cuz it is everything
yea, it's logical and forever
[chorus]
and it's something you've always known
but never could find the courage to look over your shoulder

Rainbow Valley
04:07
|
|||
hold my hand through the darkest of all nights
when i don't want to keep being a burden to people
high above and yea way far out of sight
where my mind is only a segment,
the one of many
if breathing is like a flower
then pick the petals until she loves me and i love myself
to reach a point where you blossom
well only fools will ever find themselves satisfied
hold my hand when i'm shivering inside
when i need someone to tell me that it's not for nothing
tell me truths, and failing that tell me lies
just keep my mind from making its own halos
if breathing is like a flower
then pick the petals until she loves me and i love myself
to reach a point where you blossom
well only fools will ever find themselves satisfied
i thought i saw you
yeah in this dream i had
you were an angel
oh christ, i'd never been that glad
i know it's probably
me protecting myself
if i can believe hope lives
then i can stick around
