Decay 03:21
Losing touch Don't know what I'm hearing anymore Losing touch Don't know what I'm feeling anymore Flowers grow Out of my eyes They all wilt When I see you Stay in my mind Stay in my bed I don't want to get older Stay in my mind Stay in my head

Coquette Jimmy starts to crack I don't wanna dress like that Tie your shoelace Plait your curls I don't wanna be your girl Or your best friend in the world I just wanna wear your pearls It's all good if you get yours Passive-passive saves the day I don't mind and it's okay Maybe I should stay the night It's okay and I don't mind You can keep me if you like But you kill me every time That's just fine if I get mine Wear me like you care about me I've got so much harm to give Wary cuz I never tried to let you in Wary cuz I never try for anything I think I'm getting better and It's great to be deluded and I'd sell my soul for crazy Is that stupid? Hell it's unfair, that I know, It's who you are and where you go Not what you make But who it's for I don't want to be your whore I can't love you anymore I just want to lose it all That's all great if you get everything It is getting better and It's great to be deluded I'd kill myself for crazy Is that stupid? It is so much harder now my Thoughts have been diluted I'd eat up all your crazy But I'm stupid

Auto 03:39
my city is sucking my soul i was missing palaces all ramshackle toolsheds and uncut shanty towns twist between misplaced greenhouses with isosceles rooftops lining the canals decorating deltas where you found the washed up bones of that silent kid who went missing from your neighbourhood you know she was gone before she was gone for good there’s thunder in my head and a flame behind my nose telling me that I should go it was all sinking ships and i was busting lips fireflies in the water and buzzing streetlamps and i was locked inside every crack in the footpath the hum of the park got louder at night and cancers grow all over the city but it’s still very pretty and we were parasites in Paris we were troglodytes embarrassed by the manners and behaviours of the modern man no one really knows their kids nobody kisses their parents anymore no one really talks to their kids and nobody talks to their parents anymore it’s all been said before it’s said i’m done auto my city is sucking my soul

Dumbbo 04:09
busy is as busy does maybe i’m frustrated ‘cuz picking out catastrophes from all those laid in front of me is proving to be hard to bear ceiling cracks and i just stare falling bricks and i just stare super-silent fantasy you don’t get what you want from me i feel so sorry when i sing for everybody listening who’ll never hear a voice so sweet sleeping limbs and undertow the differences that i don’t know we’re in love and that’s a fact and i don’t even dress like that i don’t even comb my hair ceiling cracks and i just stare falling bricks and i just stare dumbbo walks the wrong way home eyes dried up inside his skull clouds of birds Korea-bound as we move on to two-horse towns big fat moons and finger bones reminding me that i’m alone sleeping in the undertow pull your heart straight through your skull put me on a higher shelf even when i touch myself so carefully tossed aside like it won’t hurt if i’m alive all this weight inside my head fire blackening my bed sick to death with all your friends who all hate me for hating them when i say your name i choke when i say my name i choke when i say your name i

I'll be your prince, I'll be your queen Or anything else on a platter Dried up your tears, silence stinging your ears Nothing you felt ever mattered Coming for me and I'm counting my teeth I cut my tongue on your canines Bleeding for weeks and I'm scared of these freaks That I become in the nighttime All the days turn in to night I'm afraid to go outside I don't want to see your skin I'm afraid to let you in Fond regrets will kill you, son And looking out for number one No loving burdens, diamond rings It's heart breaking Sweating cold blood under a tree of smoke It sinks in deep to my arteries under the ground lives that Silvery sound swelling up my capillaries Fond regrets will kill you son And looking out for number one No loving burdens, diamond rings It's heartbreaking Scared of everything All the days and all the nights too afraid to go outside I'm afraid of my own skin and I want you gone Climb the staircase Grip my gun Just looking out for number one I couldn't think a single thing It's heartbreaking

I rip of your dream-state shiver and dip my toes in the big black river and Dry them off in the cemetery by the plot they buried Betty Close my eyes and softly amble up to her head and start to ramble All of my thoughts and all my worries; How I hate when spiders scurry on the wall above headboard I don't wish that I was dead but sometimes it's so hard to think anything else She said: "Boy, I had your problems I got death and you got over it Now I'm stuck in these clothes forever I wish my mother had dressed me better! Each day I wish I was ashes and sometimes I can't stand the silence and All the worms that eat me from the inside-out complete me and It's never what I thought it'd be. It's such a great big part of me but Sometimes I think that it should have been you" -- I'm so tired of songs about sex and I'm so tired of dreams about sex. I wiped off my knees and kissed her; slouched back in to the big black river. Betty I don't care, I don't care about anyone. As soon as I was wrapped in black I suddenly knew how to act on All my fears and all my worries slipped away as children scurried. Each day they grow warm with silence; no more hugs and no more Fighting sometimes it's so nice to be everything else.
