real love

mostly i remember
screaming fighting
constant violence
smells of alcohol
and cigarettes when
you got home
i made myself small
you made yourself big
i still see the wall i stared at
it makes me sick
i don't know what of you lives within me
but i know that now
i want love that hurts
in my skin
i want love that rots
through my limbs
i want real love for us all
no sleep
ultraviolet radiation
pouring on me
there's no sillhouette
there's nothing left
no mystery
i can feel my organs slowly failing
no one wants to touch you if you're flailing
i know inner peace lies waiting for me
but i feel too weak
i wish i was underneath your skin
i want love that bleeds from within
it feels evil but
i want love that hurts
in my skin
i want love that rots
through my limbs
i want real love for
i want love that hurts
in my skin
i want love that rots
through my limbs
i want real love for us all
i want real love for us all
real love for us all

wish for healing
faith in nothing at all
no love for songs
heavy feeling
heavy breathing on call
no love for songs
pray for staying strong
wishful thinking
i'll try laughing it off
no love at all
glances stealing
clock is ticking along
no love for songs
pray i've got it wrong
no love for songs
pray for staying strong
glances stealing
clock is ticking along
no love for songs

oh shit you're really doing it
my boy you've got your new friends
and your new place
now your good times are comin in
what's that ? you don't know how to think
don't think just find a new way to fit in
you could take up juggling
don't go back your daddy's heart attack
still aint had enough time
to let your mama get her life back
so get yourself up
and run the water down your shoulders
maybe with some luck
you'll find a better way of growing older
and you're free of all your family
will they still give you money ?
cuz baby don't u need it ?
yea u need it god knows u need it
just don't let anyone near your bed
yea u haven't changed ur sheets since u moved out
there's probably stuff growing in them
and your friends, do you even like them ?
nobody's called in ages and you're not phased
i really hope that they're not dead
and your cat, you said he never stays
but he always comes back doesn't he ?
i think he knows exactly what i'm saying
but he won't let it show in front of me
do you think he leaves just so he can play
with all his fucked up little cat mates
or does he just wanna get away
from all the noise out in the hallway ?
cuz fuck that
if i were him i wouldn't come back
if i were him i wouldn't come back
if i were him i wouldn't come back

degenerate
barely a person
i'm not scared
i'll sit and listen
do your worst
you scum motherfuckers
jokes on them
i can't take my medication anymore
my teeth still sharp tho
i'm a cassette that
got stuck in the stereo
come and try some shit with me
all i wanted was to bury
my own body and dig my own grave
just try and stop me
i forgot how to behave
inanimate
moving like water
through a house
full of electronics
full of shit
preparing to die but
die for what?
i'm not impressing anybody anymore
i keep it clean tho
nobody else wipes the blood from the piano
come and try some shit with me
all i wanted was to bury
my own body and dig my own grave
just try and stop me
i don't know how to behave

starving's easy for a week
to try and please your company
blur the edges every night narcotically
stake a daylight robbery
on maybe one good hour sleep
don't believe them they'd do anything for me
broken floors punched down walls
slammed doors stare intently
in the distance i can see
you and me
half asleep
dreaming of lonely
have a fistfight with your mate
have a fistfight with your brain
second guess your body
every single day
like there's no one at all
who's ever felt your pain
you can't figure who to blame
you or me
laugh and weep
equidistantly
you're falling asleep
to the sound of heartbeats
in your ears they're ringing
beautiful harmonies
flat minor sevenths and
words from the heavens
you've never heard coming
straight from the throat
of your truest of loves
and the goddess above
in the ceiling swirling
black holes of alcohol
swollen and broken glass
cutting your eyes til they close

breathe my scent

when you said
impossible
one last step

one more step
be valiant

girls be valiant
impossible

happy girl

you look like when the sky looks pretty
all it takes is for you to be there
the words burn up as i type them
hold my hand or shut the fuck up
collapse under the weight of the girly chaos
even in a world like this
winter still comes by
eventually it still moves on
i wanna be a happy girl
you like the worst woman right ?
so psyched out of your own life
simulacra catfight
you win your cuteness with your own two hands
it's a feeling of being completely possessed
eventually i hope we can rest
eventually the fear comes out
i wanna be a happy girl
even in a world like this
i could still hold you
eventually you'd hold me too
eventually the fear comes out
i wanna be a happy girl

forever music
i'd like to live without killing my heart
never ending girls talk
could i afford to even start ?
a sterile light no you in sight
no one left for me call
but it's girls night by world's light
i let myself break my own fall
over over over my limiter
never let go of me
river river could you just swallow me whole ?
tremor just let me be
if you ever want my heart
all you have to do is ask
and when eventually i'm gone
you can listen to this song
forever music forever music
forever clueless
i like you so much more than you do
forever useless
i'll keep waiting for one of us to lose
and don't worry i'm sorry
it's too important to throw away
i'll make a strong pose
and hold my breath as far as it goes
over over over my limiter
never let go of me
river river could you just swallow me whole ?
tremor just let me be
if you ever want my heart
all you have to is ask
and when eventually i'm gone
you can listen to this song
forever music forever music
forever music forever music

rot with me
03:00
|

let's wait til it's too late
we can handle strokes and heart attacks
it's ok to hesitate
we already know it won't work out
i don't have any doubt
you're my favourite way to waste my life
stay til the clock runs out
no one cares if we were wrong or right
just rot with me
in our little reverie
out of our minds
pain like a drill
in your heart
still loves
trees sway until they break
so do hips and hair and buildings too
no day to celebrate
when there's so much cleaning up to do
so play with me
life doesn't have to be scary
you can let go
all you've been holding so long
good girl , good girl
pull me apart my friend
and put me together again
rip and tear limb from limb
and stay with me until the end .
