Flowers on the Sand

Someone that I love left last night
I felt stone in my bones but I didn't cry
And boy, does it make you feel less alone?
I walked out in the night to kill the moonlight
She reminded me too much of a previous life
And boy, does it make you feel less alone?
You cut the night and my right hand
and mixed the blood to paint flowers on the sand
It's so you, so you
To say that love was a slayer
I, fifteen, I thought life was a feather
When we learnt that love could only get me deader
With you with you
Teenage breakups forever
I stopped listening to music forever last night
Your voice was singing every song I ever liked
And boy, does it make you feel less alone?
You said sex is just a vampire
When you burn in the sun you can only catch fire
And boy, does it make you feel less alone?
You cut the night and my right hand
and mixed the blood to paint flowers on the sand
It's so you, so you
To say that love was a slayer
I, fifteen, I thought life was a feather
When we learnt that love could only get me deader
With you with you
Teenage breakups forever
You cut the night and my right hand
and mixed our blood to paint flowers on the sand
It's so you, so you
To say that love was a slayer
I, fifteen, I thought life was a feather
When we learnt that love could only get me deader
With you with you
Teenage breakups forever

Old Misery
06:17
|
|||
This ballroom is dusty with ghosts
You were always superclean
Sweep this hurricane into a corner
And let's call it a night
I personify darkness and pain
To make it seem more like a game
But maybe one day you and me
My Misery
We'll learn how to be free
Of each others' reign
Of this platinum chain
And we'll dance our waltz,
counting back from three
Old Misery
Old Misery
I dance in my heart with you
What else do I have to do
And I cling onto the thought
That you might be
That you might be
That you might be
Dancing in your heart
With me
Old Misery
Old Misery
Old Misery
You have been a loyal friend to me
And maybe one day
We'll learn to be free
Old Misery
I dance in my heart with you
What else do I have to do
And I cling onto the thought
That you might be
That you might be
That you might be
Dancing in your heart
With me
Old Misery
Old Misery

Lower Me Down
05:34
|
|||
Is it time to admit
The blood screaming inside me?
I used to be a pacifist
But now I have to admit
That love is forever
Even if I disappear
Love is forever
My one and only do you hear?
Even if we burn to ash
Is it time to embrace
The dangers of what I escaped?
I used to be so victimless
But now I have to confess
That I am a lioness
And death is just my summer dress
But I want it to be redder
Cause love is forever
Six feet underground
Love is forever
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
What people say
It isn't true
You always love the ones you hurt
Is it a cardinal rule?
You always love the ones you hurt
Is this what drives us to be cruel?
You always love the ones you hurt
Love is forever
Standing on the windowsill
Love is forever
I'm hungry for what I kill
Love is forever
Six feet underground
It remains a winner
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down, down, down, down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down, down, down, down
Lower me down
Lower me down

Sometimes I hate myself
Sometimes I play with myself
I'm shy, I die when I look in your eye, boy
When I look in your eye, boy
Strength is in submission
I see it as my favourite mission
I'm a feminist, a slayer, I don't care for a god
When I kneel it's not a prayer it's Yeah, Yeah
I feel my heart hit the floor, boy
You got me burning in the moonlight
Hips hit your core, boy
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
Like the bees fly to kiss pain
And the ocean kneels down for the rain
I tame the lion with my chain, boy
I tame the lion with my chain
I wear the chain of desire
I'm free like hellfire
Watch me get shier and shier, boy
I'm a feminist, a slayer, I don't care for a god
When I kneel it's not a prayer it's Yeah, Yeah
I'm a feminist, a slayer, I don't care for a god
When I kneel it's not a prayer it's Yeah, Yeah
I feel my heart hit the floor, boy
You got me burning in the moonlight
Hips hit your core boy
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
I'm a feminist, a slayer, I don't care for a god
When I kneel it's not a prayer it's Yeah, Yeah
I'm a feminist, a slayer, I don't care for a god
When I kneel it's not a prayer it's Yeah, Yeah
I feel my heart hit the floor, boy
You got me burning in the moonlight
Hips hit your core boy
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight
You got me burning in the moonlight

O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
I'm falling apart
Take me back to the shop
where you bought me
Ask for your money back
I'm falling apart
I don't know why
I know there are reasons
But I can't think at this time
I feel exhaustion
inside my heart
I want to bring light to the world
but I feel so dark
My baby is restless
and tired tonight
I wish I could help him
but I can't shake off the dark
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
I wanted to be
sunshine for you
for my friends for the people
I give music to
A bringer of hope
A bringer of life
But this fucking darkness
just won't leave my mind
I know life is hard
I learnt pretty quick
and I am grateful
for the food that I eat
And sometimes I hear
voices that speak
Is it God or the Devil?
I don't care
Either way I can't sleep
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
I want to survive with a smile for each pain
I want to leave life with a good name
I want to survive every spank of death's cane
I want to be so unbreakable babe
I wish for a spell you can't penetrate
And when I'm dead let the worms spell my name
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
O Darkness
Darkness Darkness Darkness
Darkness Darkness Darkness
Darkness Darkness Darkness
Darkness Darkness Darkness

Electricity
06:28
|
|||
I wish I could have a drinking problem
But instead I'm just dark
If I did, the first thing I would do is paint the town blue
Cause red is old news
You said I'm a fucked up kid
I guess that means I have to be the good one
But then why do I feel this violent rage like a bloody hammer kissing the slumber?
Why do I swim in electricity
when it only hurts me?
It only hurts me
Why do I swim in electricity
when it only hurts me?
It only hurts me
The sky was just a virgin bed
An infinite sheet of desire
When we jumped off the cliff together naked
Wearing nothing but hearts of pure fire
And into the water we fall
The sugar on my lips changing to salt
Forgive me for being hedonistic
The only sea I want is black with you in it
Why do I swim in electricity
when it only hurts me?
It only hurts me
Why does melancholia still love me
when I only fuck her?
I only fuck her
Why does melancholia still trust me
when I only curse her?
I only curse her
I'm the madman
a zero
Jean Genet's my pinup
Hold hands with what you fear
Violence is a calm that disturbs me alright
Heaven's always on your side
Hell always on mine
Please forgive me
I'm dying
Madness is no fun and games
I see the truth even when she's lying
Why do I swim in electricity
when it only hurts me?
It only hurts me
Why do I swim in electricity
when it only hurts me?
It only hurts me
Why does melancholia still love me
when I only fuck her?
I only fuck her
Why does melancholia still trust me
when I only curse her?
I only curse her

Nature Song

Autumn leaves, how do you feel
How do you feel in the sky?
Do you feel like nothing is real
when you are flying that high?
Stars in the sky, tell me how do you feel
How do you feel every night?
Do you feel like you want to explode
and rest your tired eyes?
Roots in the earth, tell me how does it feel
How does is feel hugging the soil
Caressing dirt, embracing creatures
that live by a different code?
I want to be alive which means I want to die
and I'm not afraid to die and I'm not afraid to be alive
I want to be alive which means I want to die
and I'm not afraid to die and I'm not afraid to be alive
I think mathematically to try and find peace
but my body is young in eternity
I fall to pieces at the feet of my own sexuality
Tell me boy, how does it feel
How does it feel under my skin?
Does your heart explode, do the sun and moon kneel
when we collide deeper than deep?
Billie Holliday, how does it feel
How does it feel in your grave?
Does it feel less lonesome than before
Or does it feel just the same?
And am I the complexities of the universe
or are those complexities me?
Are we claustrophobic in time's glass coffin
or lucky to be momentarily free?
I want to be alive which means I want to die
and I'm not afraid to die and I'm not afraid to be alive
I want to be alive which means I want to die
and I'm not afraid to die and I'm not afraid to be alive

Mad Girl's Love Song
04:25
|

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
Fuck yeah
Fuck yes
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
Fuck yeah
Fuck yes
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
Singing fuck yeah
Boy fuck yes
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
Fuck yeah
Fuck yes
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
Fuck yeah
Fuck yes
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
Fuck yeah
Fuck yes

Take Me
05:45
|
|||
Take me into the wild space
Let's break like glass animals
In the middle of this hot soft universe
Boy I'm not averse to a bit of death before breakfast
Let's watch happiness unravel
like a stringy cat toy
I am your girl
You're my boy
Clasp my hand
Let's jump off this spaceship together
Stay in this freedom forever
Always and forever
Take me in my dress of unicorn leather
My face couldn't be redder
Take me exploding forever
Exploding forever
Exploding forever
I saw the sun up close
And it was gorgeousful
I had to cover my eyes
I couldn't take this feeling
Coming at me, my shy bomb
You belong to everyone
and I am yours
I couldn't dream of a better way to die
with the stars kissing my skin off
Go tell my loved ones I'm leaving
No one will ever find my body
Happiness you take me,
Hold me and you break me
like a feather
Happiness you take me
Hold me and you break me
like a feather
Always and forever
Take me in my dress of unicorn leather
My face couldn't be redder
Take me exploding forever
Exploding forever
Exploding forever
