she has them all lined up in perfect order
she's a house of bricks with boys for mortar
filling all the cracks and the holes inside her
sometimes i am the boy sleeping beside her
she stacks boys in the corners and boys in her pockets
there's a lock on the door but she never locks it
a cup full of secrets, she drinks it, she swallows
any hitler boy with his hand raised she follows

No One Finds Me Here
03:47
|
|||
|
i got lost on my way back home one night
i can't recall if it was joy or fright i felt
no one finds me here
the sun went down and i could not see a thing at all
somehow i never thought that i would slip and fall
no one finds me here
no one noticed i was gone
until several years passed on
then they got worried in a hurry
but i was too far gone
i cut the final string
gave up on everything
nothing inside me
i can't find me
no one finds me here
everyone refused to see
i was only seventeen
i still remember that december
like it was a dream
they sent out rescue teams
but i was nowhere to be seen
they were right behind me
but no one finds me
no one finds me here

i'm afraid to sleep
the water is too deep
if i close my eyes i'll drown
drift out to sea not to be found
you spend your time
locked away inside your mind
tell me what you find
you look like you're one of my kind
if you want to come inside
i can be the place you hide
just tell me what you need
i can show you how to bleed
i can't unplant the seed
this thing you left inside of me
i don't know what to do
the stain on my heart is shaped like you
all i want to know
is where your secrets go
just tell me what you need
i can show you how to bleed
on the day her father died she didn't even cry
on the day her father died she almost felt alive
on the day her father died i could see it in her eyes
i never asked her why
i never asked her why

all your children have gone insane
dilated and laughing at the rain
you can find us downstairs being strange
in the basement where it rains all night
you can find us lost in-between
the innocent and the obscene
i cut myself and bleed your name
in the basement where it rains all night
her backmasked dreams...
they torture me perfectly
our secrets keep but i can't sleep
we've met but we don't meet
why won't you tell me the rest of the story?
my chest is screaming your name as you're leaving forever

Milk

milk in a saucer on the floor
she's all dolled up, down on all fours
i'm so down
she's going down on my luck
angels cover their eyes every time we fuck
let's go insane
let's make it rain tonight
puts her eyebrows on in the rearviewmirror
everything gets hazy as it becomes clear
i'm so down
she's going down and i'm out
angels shiver as we kiss and twist and shout
let's go insane
let's make it rain tonight

she said she'd be my heroin
so i unlocked the door and let her in
someone in the room said "i want more"
shots rang out as i ran for the door
why did you leave me lying there?
everyone around just stood and stared
at blood stains on the carpet where i laid
every time i scream you look away

The Most Beautiful Scar
04:33
|
|||
|
ghosts are swimming in my veins
the bathroom mirror looks so strange
a face i barely recognize
stares back at me with vacant eyes
why can't you see i'm all alone?
playing with fire cause no one's home
i tried to tell you for so long
that there was something wrong
i wish you'd show me who you are
it hurts at first but it leaves the most beautiful scar
i still remember every regret
i can't remember to forget
why can't you see i'm all alone?
playing with fire cause no one's home
i tried to tell you for so long
that there was something wrong
all these thought spinning inside my head
sometimes i feel like i'd feel better dead
everyone is looking but they can't see
i'd hate myself if i were me
why can't you see i'm all alone?
playing with fire cause no one's home
i tried to tell you for so long
i doubt you even hear the fucking words to this song
no matter what i do or say
i just can't get away
i run but it follows me
i just want to get free

Asphyxia / Aixyhpsa
03:31
|

|
it's getting dark and i can't see
i scream out but no one hears me
it's getting harder and harder to see
as i'm chewing on my own teeth
i can't breathe
i tried to tell you way back then
and now the walls are all closing in
i've got some matches and some gasoline
set it on fire and dream another dream
i can't breathe

By Your Side
05:20
|

|
i'm under the weather but i'm not sick
i'm a candle with a fucked up wick
i don't know just where i'm going
but you're welcome to come with me
maybe we can find a place where we can finally be free
you tell me that you can't sleep at night
you tell me that your nightmares come to life
when you just can't keep it all inside... i'll arrive
i'll be by your side
i know what keeps you up at night
all the demons you keep inside
all the monsters under your bed
are they there or in your head?
either way... i think that i know how you're feeling
you're all alone
you tell me that you can't sleep at night
you tell me that your nightmares come to life
when you just can't keep it all inside... i'll arrive
i'll be by your side
you can't sleep so you call me on the phone
i talk to you so you don't feel alone
i wish that i could be there and be yours to keep
but all i can do is sing you to sleep
you tell me that you can't sleep at night
you tell me that your nightmares come to life
when you just can't keep it all inside... i'll arrive
i'll be by your side

i'll wait for you
behind the trees in the leaves
where no one will ever know
the places that we will go
two hearts bleed as one

Carved Into My Arm
03:52
|
|||
|
it's me... waiting here for you to take me home
waiting for you to tell me i'm not alone
but you don't say a word
it's me... sitting here bleeding on the floor
staring at the name that i adore
carved into my arm
i don't know what else to do
every thought i think is of you
until i'm insane
it's me... doused in heroin to numb the taste
of the disappointed look on your face
that nothing can erase
it's me... the one who you once glued to your chest
the boy who you loved more than all the rest
bleeding all alone
i don't know what else to do
every thought i think is of you
until i'm insane
