walk her to the station
just like in the movies
light her cigarette
with hand coming from the shadow
in her coat pocket
burning a hole in her lining
five word letter:
you deserve better than this
in the basement waiting
pictures from a hidden camera
and the light is trembling
between streetlamps and curbs
and you could get out unscratched
or you could get that gun before she does
you could do better
still you're frozen together
in that perfect frame
you could do better than this

no coincidence, life is a boring class and fate has the teacher's ruler
nothing is sweet, night animals only know salt and sour,
and you've got the worst case of death wish in the history of this forest
serves you right, I'm gonna serve you right with pine needles in your hair
if you could kill me
and get away with it
you would
take me to the roof
tie me up a noose
you would shoot me down
if I could kill you
and get away with it
I would
lure you to the lake
dig you up a grave
I would hunt you down
here we are, joking around, just joking around
sun is high and all is fine and nothing to get scared about
the city is the safest place to be, but now I am you and you are me
serves me right to see sunny concrete blocks of your street melting down

Blackbones is coming to your home
It's planning a party in your living room
It's gonna cook something in your kitchen
he's gonna clean up, he's a nice guy
Blackbones gonna hide under your bed and wait
how could you know?

It's a cold, cold, calculated thing to do
not hardly as dramatic as one might assume
coming from a place of reason
presenting itself as a clear vision
baby don't be blue
I'm doing this for you
It's not for the faint, it's not with malice
it's not to be done for a trivial challenge
it's supposed to be a vent
but now my soul is spent
hun i think i lost
I didn't count the costs
like burning a match a second too long
like taking a swim during a storm
like drinking a tea still burning your tongue
like jumping the swing a little too far
like cutting up meat a little too fast
like taking a stroll when midnight's far past
like buying those shoes a number too small
like asking the question, you don't want to know

I haven't seen anything like this
eyes that go dark
I haven't seen anything like this
pools of blue that turn black
doomed are those who can't swim
in the deep i see it creep
I get sucked down below
under a roof of water
I get pulled by the hands
of my own curious mind
because I
haven't seen anything like this
soft and hard and rough and round
I haven't seen anything like this
young and old, cold and warm
I want to reach it
it seems so close
I want to reach it
shining like circonnie in the ground
doomed are those who can't swim
in the deep I see it creep

Cool Revolution

this mouth is too wide to feed
all you can do is wait and see
it comes and smiles just like a snake
all you can do is watch and wait
cool revolution
the only thing that makes it feel alright
cool revolution
the bits and pieces keep you up at night
come in from the artificial light
to remind us what it is about
stolen jewels, gold and diamond crowns
can't remember what it's like to have enough
cool revolution
the only thing that makes it feel alright
cool revolution
the bits and pieces keep you up at night

say it is enough
for your soul
say it is enough
for your mind
say it is enough
just this life
say it is enough
to my eyes
how much did you get
from this deal
how much did you lose
what's the price
what if it's just this
call it home
is it worth the pay
is it enough
did you beg (for this)
on all fours

Wore Me Out

wore me
wore me out
asking me
do I mind
can't stand
can't feel legs
floating there
like a ghost
see me
wearing sheets
eating rags
spitting glass
got it
hide no more
going now
wore me out
