The movies, the menus, the morning and night
Covered in you like the sun's own light
Melts through the curtains
Tints my brain
About the shiny little moments I want to contain
I want to quit, I want to live
To laugh myself awake
I don't want a fuck just a heart to break
Sleepy and warm we made it our best
The films sang me to sleep in a white cotton nest
White cotton rest
Friends are always there; their charity on hold
They could love me forever but a part would stay cold
Your not something better your definitely not worse
Just a whole different species who use the same words
I don't want to be calm, civil and mature
Got to be all or nothing; a kiss at the front door
Is so damn routine but the craving still kicks
To spend one last night fused at the...
Lips untied and a stomach in knots
Chewing the neck bone of my own thoughts
Cut me loose so I can sleep again
Or give the pills to make me my own friend
Make me my own friend
My friend
Make me my own friend
Lips untied and a stomach in knots
Chewing the neck bone of my own thoughts
Cut me loose so I can sleep again
Or give the pills to make me my own...
Best of liars
A cure with new problems
Salt through the skin, a night short of grief
I was taught to smile by my own teeth

Let's start...
We're going over again, times not our friend
Crushed on 'nothing to do'
And you prove
And I loose
All grip on the line of my shot
A bullet bit into the crunch of the sharks
Iced dreams in cold car parks
Nothing but a remark; embark, you've got nothing to choose
A bleeding pride and a bride to be
I'm lining my own veins with who I want to be
Because some things truer than not
You're young, and a wasted plot
My map to world hasn't took me this far
I'm breathing tiny fires to warm my crooked heart
Sing, place a ring. Get love at the end
Roll a bias life so don't have to do this again
Do this again
Sleep, kiss, pretend
Boy has got to make his brightest choice
Slip on my veins or choke on my voice
Hope it never gets the best of me
Or better yet, never gets the rest of me
Quickest of kills or my slowest of deaths
Shoot myself into the sky or rescind my breaths
Gotta see the funny side of this dream
(Play this thought and burn it to repeat)
Gotta see the funny side of this dream
(Play this thought and burn it to repeat)
If only I could pause, brace in exchange for pay
Slip on my own skin as they rue the day
Seal my life on the dots of a clause
I think I'll find another way

Why don't you look outside your window
Take in the world on its knees
Its making its own way to you
She didn't even have to say please
Oh but fuck thats foolish, she's dreaming again
Sleeping with the boys who used to be men
A thin layer of lipstick and a glass full of gin
She'd learn to say sorry if she knew where to begin
How about the empty promise, or the 24th?
She fired up hope because she was lonely or bored
She only stole what she couldn't afford
So she took the best of me.
Tragically she mistook my own special best
For the cute moments where she lay on my chest
So she'll just have to watch who she once kissed
Singing all these things she stupidly missed
How does it feel when he's the one to hold?
Kissing hard to keep grip on some soul
Enjoy this rebound with vigour and thrust
I'll just chew on the world and spit out gold dust
I'll survive you
Surviving you
...Put the love to bed, they've confirmed the corpse
She knew it with the murder
He had to find out at the morgue
...Had to find out at the morgue...
She had to second me with a boy-be-new
Because the clicking heels don't tell her what to do
The misses and the kisses, he's lost his choice
Lucky some chokes give us the voice
To say... I'm clean... and clear of this...
What would you do if I smiled and said
You did me a favour; you killed it dead
It wasn't my best I can guarantee
Just watch and wave, while I spit and scream
Down every hour you spend and every time you miss
The stupid little man who can sing like this
So watch me spin on stage, getting the kicks
Dealing with a little pain with my oldest lyrics
Get acceptance on your back, I'll get mine just from this track
Shoot out a smile, my desperate...
Tricked out of a few months of love
Enjoy this rebound dear, I've got 'Cats and Dogs'
I'm not wishing you the best, I don't want you in a hell
Just...watch...wave...oh didn't he do well
Let me talk some rough
I... would kill to be sick to death of you
I had it all to loose but
Time is not going away
Though the heat is hot, I think I'll stay
You gave me change, its you to blame.
Cracked sin in a firing range
Over; he's colder, but he's starting again
Looking past his face, re-sculpted man
Don't you know I can read your every look
I'm the index page of your truest book
Goodbye last love
You don't want me as one of...
Your enemies, you said that one day
Well I've had more manners from a kick to the face
Got every reason to crunch you with words
But you sabotage yourself enough, this lady returns to be a girl
Returns to be a...
Girl

If you take the long walk back through the brightest glow
The sparkling shade, the doomed and the saved
Will take you to your home
I need this like that hole carved in my head
You kick and scream into your dreams
I'm the bull and your the red
Struck by enormity, riddled with rust
Searching for a heart beyond some yellow dust
If nothing ever clears, if it never does retreat
I'll keep my legs warm by walking to this beat
Smiling at the morning start my drive into the sun
Unfold all the gall and eat every wall: simple awareness of what is done
I've got the fear now, but I'm not gonna cut its wind off yet
The screams down my spine making wasted time I'm not to face just yet
I'm gonna sit it on my lap and curl my fingers through its hair
Watch me claw up its back and spinal track until I kiss into its cold stare
And as lips begin to loosen and its fangs are drawn back in
I might just chew on its thighs; the lashing of lies
And start
All over again.
Dreaming myself awake, I don't know where I am
One boiled up brain inside of a delirious man
Its existence tides my noose
But its death would shoot me from shore
Every time it breaks me
I know I love her more
So stay alive and keep breathing you thorny little treat
Keep silent and calm whilst waving your arms when our wild eyes do meet
No more in the uncertain, I'm through with my wicked ways
I'm happy for to sit and watch me host my epic shame
Dreaming myself awake, I don't know where I am
One boiled up brain inside of a delirious man
Define me quietly while I tremble from nerve to nerve
With the only thing the diamond ring I truly don't
Define me quietly while I tremble from nerve to nerve
With the only thing the diamond ring I truly don't deserve
Dreaming myself awake, I don't know where I am
One boiled up brain inside of a delirious man
