Singing the siren Blind to the knock Doors in or out Door that aren’t locked . Silence and virtue Quiet youre safe Whispering torture Wanting away . Out thru the glass Like a lamb on the mount Island of refuge Saying your vows . Hes telling you something You cant quite hear Feeding you something And the noise disappears . is this what theyre scared of is this what they say I think theyre all stupid Im running away . Wait for the signal Listen for clues Its coming I promise Youll know what to do . Huffing down calm Vigilance rising Eating the thing Find it surprising . Call it supersession Call it all sin The bells crying out For the mess that youre in . He did it to me But its all still youre fault Wretched and wasted Mass whatches on . Youll find other demons Company few Youll see whats inside them Youll see theyre all you . This is the cost They said that youd pay And all that you’ve lost Youll wish it away . Scacengers hungry Feasting on dread Eyes that glaze over Eyes that are dead . I wish that theyd told me I now that they did We chose this he said And backed into the mist

LOVE SONG 02:57
Spider webs whipping around Lashing around Breathing quite slowly Breathing quite loud . I wanted to tell you More that anyone else I want you to know The ways that ive felt . Its all kind of complex Feeling so dense Its all too depressing Looking over your fence . Said I don’t get this You knew what I meant All of the sense is All that you spent . Smothered in sadness Crying again They know that you’ve had it Try to pretend . [chorus] Its all kind of pretty And kind of ok Now youre my excuse To have a bad day . Rounding in circles I don’t love you yet Showing no mercy The trouphy you get . I want to be past this I want to be out Things that she said Things that ill doubt . If it want for me me Then who was it for Tolerance waninng And im glued to the floor . Im happy for you loving you more tread on my fingers to the crowd you adore . They love you they love you You’ve made that quite clear . I want to I want to I cant disappear . [chorus] . A whisper A shodow Worn down and needy . I test you To get to Lets say that im greedy . Hard work on tiptoes Wandering twitch Ill just make you angry Flipping that switch . Where did you hear that Who was it today I think that they hate you Bad weather they say . [chorus]

Its ok I wanna be a pretty girl forever . Think about the minor keys and comment on the weather . Id rather hang out With my pets Than get To know you better . Its so ok Im not afraid whats underneath Youre sweater . Its us today A sharp charade Who wrote Your closing letter . Puppets climb Into my mind Detecting To upset her . [hook] I think you thought I was up to something [repeating] . Gotta be nice Gotta be cute Gotta be dark Want me to prove . Never need much Not much to do None of the pressure Nothing from you . Misunderstanding What did I do I uhhh im standing Right next to you . What do you want Like what can I do Kind of romantic Caring from you . Whatre you saying Who is it to Who are you facing Fighting your mood . What are you saying Following thru What are you saying Following thru . [chorus]

Assessing the debt Riding high in the mess Roll me up in the batter Again and again . Needling hooks of the frail girl that looks and she travelled so far youd be rude not to book . Youre so frightened and fancy Boil for lancing Binding it up Ok just cos im dancing . Overhead panic Dramatic conclusions Im so fucking tired Of these unhinged delusions . Ur so deep in pocket Im finding it weird Its actually creepy The mongering fear . Take your hand off me Your finders out Its actually nasty How you go about . Burning up time Burning out patience I thought we were here To commit to the aces . I cant stand the noise You put in my head I don’t know those people The stories are dead . I tried to walk past this But somehow you knew Digging a grave And id rather exume . [chorus] And this is what you do Civilian panic Low level shiver Bats in the attic Swirling words Misdeeds of the lost Hurling feeds Gathering dust . Single pass ticket Riding to die Games about tricking And which drug to try . Lazy and weak Dead on your feet I guess it makes sense Destroy and delete . Well be dancing forever On a cloud in my head I just cant remember Quite what was said . I bet youll rewrite me Into the witch Into the demon So very unhinged . Wicked she was How she wanted so much She expected id stop She thought that id budge . So it all goes Ill rember the rose And that tine in the lounge Without any clothes . I didn’t want this That final backhand All I expected was What time you'd land . [chorus] x2

Come back down to the place Where I am once again able to separate The moving parts of a machine that I hate I remember for a moment who felt like what Which parts happened to me And where the interjections of a timeline that I am not part of belong The transactional virtue of a class that I do not fit into But my blood is so sweet to its fang that this is where I live And the defensive barrier that separates me from all the living pricks at my being my eyes forever widening thirsty for the hand that pry me out of this rosebush tomb its all a game its all a game I don’t know how to be numb like you To not fall to my knees and writhe inside To not feel sick and scared and hopeful To let go like it never happened Like its absence doesn’t matter Like each one isn’t the most important The transactional beauty Because To fill each others gaps To me Is what were here for and somehow that makes me strange and I know right now by the playbook weve developed I am meant to stand here sword drawn with fire in my eyes by everyone else opinion I stay Laid On the alter made of alterior motives Because no one says what the mean here Its all a game And no one dusts trophies they’ve won while theyre out hunting . Holding firm to an agreement Putting one foot before the other Swallow my tongue because it doesn’t make anything better Im not ashamed to admit that you were right But that doesn’t excuse all that happened out of sight And its hard for me to stand in any sureness Im walking with a knife to my own back Trusting without trusting that you can bridle the malice Eye to eye in the reactionary schisms of hair fractures A body this full of painful lashes cant help but be unstable Never take the time to lick the wounds because the licking is what hurts The shame imbued in the weakness suggested by a blow that hurt your soul Realising that you cannot shield Because some people simply take And all that’s left is the mush of you in a pile of smile that breaks The problem is that when she sees She sees all that’s left of me She knows the earnest searing ache That ambition cures And often lies awake One foot before the other I miss that you made sense to me The padding in my nest A wish that we were meant to be I cant tell if its left The haunt of cyclones in my head when I tumble to rest The wallowing throws of disrespect I understand because I shouldn’t Agonising on washing down Proof from false opponents So to my face she wishes to wage Wonders why I backed off Ive seen this play Concerto staged My muddy waters wash The problem is that when she sees The body leaves The hornets heave The softness lingers on Its not a fight of strength and might Its getting what you want
