Perfect Boyfriend
02:40
|

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

February, July
01:23
|

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

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

Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me
No one loves me
like you do
No one loves me
like you do
