red moon
I am waiting at your gate
when the army's came
did you raise your flame?
red moon
won't you bring me a new life
if i closed my eyes
would you let me die?
red moon
there are scratches on the inside of the walls
of this prison
light prism
red moon
he had eyes just like mine
he had a heart that could feel
he had a mouth that could feel
i know you
your breath will fade
i'm happy
that i'll be saved
i love you, i love you, i love you
my red moon

Teenage sacrilege
04:16
|
|||
|
in the rain when your body opened up
its petals, did it sing?
sorry i didn't visit you in the hospital,
should've tried, but i didn't
quiet mouth that will close on command
swallowing nothing now for days
don't you see if i were there then i would
kiss you so softly
into twilight
swim through time
all of this you can just leave behind in the grey of my eyes
i wanna know where you went
i wanna know where you went
i'm gonna go where you went
in some teenage sacrilege

the man in the window
he's dressed in white
there's something he's yelling
holding up a sign
lovely girls with sugar skin
cut up inside their sugar skin
are eaten by some evil things,
some devil things
the man in the window
killed some guys last night
three shots each, one for himself
and all those christian rioters were stood outside
in life
we fight
for people we love
tonight
i'll die
inside of your love
i hate you though, i'll never learn
it always comes to this
no ones for it
no ones sane
but i'm not sick and i'm not scared
i saw her body hanging there
the angers leaving when the anger says
it's had enough
in life
we fight
for people we love
in time
you'll kill
the person you love

The last falling star
04:46
|
|||
|
watching the light
the last falling star
explodes on impact
cupping the ash
as i say
"you know, babies die
you are still alive"
you know i am not the kind
to burn with rage and lose my mind
how many nights
have i hoped
waiting well
arthur, what did you see
when you stood at that cliff?
was the ground beckoning
did the sky sway like the water
but i am tired
lord i am tired
and my love is gone
but i carry on
for the love i gave to you
you will not find in others too
you will wait
all your life
all your life

I had a dream
03:58
|
|||
|
welt in the snow
i had a dream, i had a dream
held up the image
of its beauty, of its love
it lies in the gutter as the world turns above
you laid me down, i could see the light
gripping my neck so tight
coughing up tar
i'd take it back, i'd take everything
that little girl loved to sing;
her hope was a glittering star
alright

walking out into the road
skylights and buildings explode
faking it all just to know
how far i can really know
it's enough, it's enough
for him i am something to use
he gives me things i can't refuse
pills for an hour of romance
pushing me down with his hands
it's enough, it's enough
wherever i fall
in and out of love,
i'll always hold you

the long days
are filling up the sink
you wake up to drink
as sun falls
you walk along the verge
and retreat from the herd
he hurt you
well he hurts me all the time,
can't you tell he doesn't mind
I know you
I know your life is hard
but it doesn't mean you can get what you want
the memory
inside of a tear
it holds you in fear
the people
who tell you they're your friends
they disgust you to no end
your bone hands
are filling up with blood
their words aren't enough
I don't know how
but those men do it so well
how they take and eat your soul
and ruin your life
arms untie
to push you off the brink
but I'm stronger than you think

The miracle

i'm sat upstairs
the tv shows love i can't understand
it's not a film
there's no one written in to hold my hand
don't make a fuss
although i was here before my illness
she's a friend
though sometimes i am not sure where
she begins and i end
it's been a year still stuck inside
they're finding new ways to get high
i was not built for this heartbreak,
it eats me
every night when i pray i pray kneeling
there is something
in me rising
fucking fighting
the
DOORWAYS DIVIDE AND THEN UNITE LEADING INTO THE MIRACLE
(!!!!!!!)
(here we let sylvia speak)
so girl, let his anger fry
your courage splits the sky
some bad kids crushed your teeth
they drank your spirit with their lean
and sometimes i just don't believe
but i will not die in this house

Hope
05:04
|

|
sick and afraid, outcast
waking me up, at last
go take another one
go take another
it will not be me
I'll rise against the flood
I swear I will not break
or get a deadbeat job
there's a girl I love
falling from my sight
libby it is so
hard to say goodbye,
but I want to survive
killing myself for love
killing the world for blood
you hope and you pray that the bodies will fall
and that somehow you'll win in despite of it
but don't be bitter
go take another one
go take another
now just stay alive
make it through this time
tell them how you climbed
ravines in your mind
standing on the ledge
looking at the cars
people are not loved
no, you are not loved
when you need to be loved

watching you smoke
moonlight is white
when i come down
i'll make this right
kissing the scars
on my thighs
you used it against me
that's when i cried
I loved you more
than you could ever love anything
that was the problem
I am not those girls,
that is the problem

its not because i hate the other kids
those other kids
they'll break your heart if it won't turn to lead
fucked in the head
some people get everything they need
it's not because i want to be alone
left on my own
it's not a crime i'll make without a cause
and i'm so worn
please don't make me leave just hold me down
violence looks like love on days i drown

Tire fire
08:12

there it is
there's the scar
ease the flow
fill the bath
when did you accept that this is how you'll die?
when did you allow this to become your life?
the burning tire
fell at my feet
your guilt will rot
you from underneath
i guess we're just kids we don't know
nothing yet
seventeen and blissed out with a cocaine debt
it's just always on your mind
(man you owe me, don't forget)
it's no terror, i've got this, it's bigger than me, etc(descent into chaos)
and they're calling out my name
and my music is a sky
strung from something dipped in blue
no, the shirt is not too big
she's the only one i like
she is hope tied to the bridge
I always knew that I would cross
ever since i was a kid
they will see it from the hills
in the belly of the night
it has flowered from your strife
the tallest beam of light
