Resisting the Urge
03:34
|
|||
|
I'm resisting the urge to make you one of us.
I'm resisting the urge to make you one of us.
I'm resisting the urge to get in your head,
to take your arms and make you repent for your sins.
I'll tie you down and take you home with us.
I'll feed you to the lion growing in my room.
Trust me, you don't want any confrontation.
You do not want any close-shave situations.
You should not make any bad decisions;
the gods made me too vindictive.
I'm resisting the urge to make you feel like us.
It's a real cold place and I am sure you would enjoy it.
I'm resisting the urge to come after you.
Oh my god, it's difficult.
I never wanted this so much.
I want to knock your ego down, set fire to your town.
I want to cut the cloud you're on and prove to you you're wrong.
I'm resisting the urge to make you one of us.

Absolutely Awful
04:17
|
|||
|
I'm absolutely awful in every shape and form.
I'm absolutely awful; I should have never been born.
Don't try to educate me on where my soul is going to take me,
I know perfectly well I'm going to hell.
Don't try to change my plans. I am who I fucking am;
A sociopath with a tendency to yell.
Why would you think that a man like him
would make me want to have anything to do with love?
I can honestly say I've never felt compassion for anything
or anyone.
I know it was more than a thrill or a dare;
I don't care who was there or who saw what I did
on the 13th Tuesday of October.
I'm already older,
I don't regret it.
Why would you even think that I would even blink
before I take a knife to your throat?
Who knows?
I'm almost completely pathologically, what some would call,
a total eclipse of the sun,
I'm utterly through-and-through
absolutely awful.
I'm absolutely awful until the day I die.
You couldn't change me if you fucking tried.
Every time you call my name the answer's going to be the same.
I can do with or without you, anyway.
Every time they look at me, they see just what they want to see;
a wicked woman wavering wildly on her two feet.

Go Where it Rains
04:16
|
|||
|
Warm rain was running on the rooves below.
It pours so slow in the summer.
If I were to tell you all the things I knew,
it'd change the way that I meant them.
If I were to ask you the places one should go to
you'd say go where it rains.
Where it rains in March and in April too.
All of the colours bleed with the blue.
In October and November too.
Maybe it will rain here soon.

|
Everyone knows, but everyone lies.
They don't think about it?
Everybody knows and everybody tries
but I can't go without it.
Waking up the wind.
I begin and end within the same crib.
I can't think of anything better than this.
Everybody goes and everybody dies
but we don't talk about it.
I try to walk the line, I try to compromise
but I can't forget the inevitable end.

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self professed, profound
'Til the chips were down
Know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Though I betted blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love, it is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Near Me
03:04
|
|||
|
Near me, you are so dangerously near me.
You are the only thing that I hold to me, arduously.
Near me, you are so dangerously near me.
You act as if you don't hear me; as if I couldn't see
this coming undone since it begun
I run, but I fall to a pattern before
Oh, I know it may be gone.
I will focus on space and words.
Fear me, I know they always grow to fear me
I know I often don't speak quite clearly.
As if you couldn't see my own awful thoughts
are the things we all want?
To mean what we claim is a fruitless game.

Seemed so Serious
04:21
|
|||
|
I seemed so serious, how were you supposed to know
that you shouldn't believe it?
I can no longer share my thoughts with you anymore,
you never see it.
I want to tell you, I want to let you know
exactly how infuriating all this ignorance is for me.
But I am stopped by the desire to utilize all your traitor's tricks
and never-ending loyalty.
We were so amazed by you that day.
We were so amazed.
It's insufferable how contradictory you are
to everything you say you admire so much and stand for.
My lungs bubble up with rebuttal
to your poorly-put retorts.
I don't need a friend. Indeed, I swear it.
In fact, I feel I'd much rather be left alone by everyone and everything without some formidable merit.
I don't want to hold on to a dying notion anymore
Don't you think it's wrong that I must settle out a score
I had no part in before?
It's all awful from here.
Was it an accident or your bold master plan
to pull away and remove from me everything I am?
Obviously, I see your tendency to persecute others in poor positions
is grandiosity.
You don't require anything but what you desire!
It never mattered much and, frankly, I don't care enough.
