Meet the love of your life, He’s standing in an alleyway with a knife He’s peeing on your clothes, He tells you this is how all love stories go He tells you he’s the only one who will ever love your crazy ass He deserves a medal for the hell you put him through Like expecting him to tell the truth Meet your only soulmate, In bed throwing a pillow over your face You tell him you can’t breathe He says it’s not abuse, it’s what you get when you yell and scream He tells you he’s the only one who will ever love your crazy ass He deserves a medal for the hell you put him through Like fighting back when he’s insulting you Meet the perfect boyfriend, He tells you not to hang out with all your friends ‘Cause you belong to him now Just like his car and the phone he purposefully broke He tells you he’s the only one who will ever love your crazy ass He deserves a medal for the hell you put him through Like speaking up when he did not approve Meet the love of your life (fuck me, fuck me up, tell me I’m a slut) x4

Your body is as hot as July, But your heart’s colder than December I always knew you were a pretender Your lips tasted as sweet as Splenda Your words warm and sunny like an August sky But your thoughts dark and scary like a Halloween night A night I don’t want to remember February rain falling down The Moon was round as we walked downtown And I wanted to drown in a beautiful illusion Cover me with confusion But now the truth came marching And we can’t go back to that January night that felt like June You and I now sing to a different tune

The Sun 07:26
I feel you most in the rising and setting of the sun, the way it marks time and the way it scatters shards of clashing beauty across a boring expanse

Twins 03:16
Trapped inside a maze Full of blurry faces Tryna find my way See right through the bullshit Known as skin and bones Feelin’ so alone Are we the same? Could we be twins? Or am I am I on my own, in this evil game? And how can I possibly win? On your face you smile but I know what’s inside I want to know the truth Are you really you? Fallen to the earth and looking for it’s worth We’re all dressed up in costumes Organs and muscles We hide from ourselves So, are we the same? Could we be twins? Or am I am I on my own in this evil game? And how can I possibly win? On your face you smile but I know what you hide I need to know the truth Are you really you? We were once those lights, shining brightly in the night time sky I sit here and wonder why We all know our home So don’t pretend like you don’t Stop trying to forget You don’t take your first breath Until after death So are we the same? Could we be twins? Or am I am I on my own in this evil game? And how can I possibly win? On your face you smile, but I know what’s inside I want to know the truth Are you really you?

XOXOX&Y? 03:34
Me and you are pink and blue It’s a prison that we’re in We’ll sink before we can swim Stuck between two planets That rule the Earth Our God is a demon The human race is cursed Separated forever jaded Lay lay lay with me Remember when we were we? Remember when we were free? Remember when I was you? Remember when you were me? (humming) Me and you are split into two Humanity torn apart Bodies out of sync with our hearts Stuck between two planets That were square since birth Fire and water Hunger and thirst Separated, loved and hated A shipwreck lost at sea Remember when we were we? Remember when we were free? Remember when I was you? Remember when you were me? (humming) Don’t you realize it’s all a lie? Xoxox and why? Don’t you realize it’s all a lie? Throw it in the trash can and say goodbye

Vienna 02:59
And after that night When you told me that thing The bus to Vienna was nearly empty Empty of people And empty of words between us So then we met new friends And stayed out all night With the last one’s revelations unacknowledged Danced ‘til dawn But my fragile heart was still reeling Well I got trashed So you got us home And then I yelled at you drunkenly over breakfast I used to feel bad But then you proved me right If anyone remembers you as sad, they don’t remember you at all
