I don't wanna feed on it
Cut me out, you know we'll feel better
Suffocated solitude
I found you
Split in two
Gotta get away from this
Tend to my wounds, the limb will be severed
This love is spent
Show me the end
Gut me like a friend
Oh. oh. oh.
And I wanna be with you
Prime of our youth, we should be together
Don't feel smothered by the sun and moon
We are free
I wanna let it bleed
Oh. oh. oh.

Acolytes of an American dream
I'll follow you if you follow me
The famous star of a forgotten scene
You make your own kind of empathy
I can see
I held a secret at seventeen
I say yeah, say yeah, say yeah
And you know what it did to me
I say hey, say hey, say hey
And the language is new to me
So come on, come on, come on
We're looking for a new disease
Night come and drag me back to hell
It's what I wanted
No case to play your favorite game

I'll keep warm
On cool days
This spring
I'll take care
I'll sail
Off way
Time (is not our friend)

Raise your hands for the love and hate we
Spill all over every daily, weekly
This boredom had you from the start
Golden years and a smile worth faking
An empty promise is a promise worth making
Not just for fun, no you want it all
City wakes up in the morning, kills you
Stay in bed so long the days pass through you
This one track mind will break your heart
The only promise is the one you're breaking
The only risk is the one we're taking
When will this story have a start?
You, you never close your eyes
Anymore when I kiss you
And you, you never close your eyes

I remember meeting you in the spring time
Fell out of forward thinking for days
Now every look and every truth, even white lies
Are cut up like paper mache and clay
I pictured you on a beach in France
I pictured you with your new romance
Spending your nights in his starry eyes
Talking of lives you both were too drunk to find
How could you laugh and walk away?
I watched you laugh and walk away
There's nothing left for me to say
Now as you laugh and walk away
I remember seeing you in summer time
Caught up on every moment to date
Now every breath and every shy look in your eyes
Hardened by broken promises made
I pictured you on a beach in France
I pictured you with your new romance
How could he laugh and walk away?
Nothing will ever feel the same
When I want you, I want you back
When I want you, I want you back

I'll be your loan shark
Get along somehow
We can get out
Spin their world around
Get in my new car
Drive it to your house
Fuck the red lights
Speed of sound
So vacant
The city drains our blood
Can't we move on?
Burn bridges, I would
You'll feel a loan shark
Swimming to the shore
The boring translation
Poisoned to the core
Where's your boyfriend now?
Stuck in the same old town
Load up on wine, you'll never see the sun
With the moon in your eyes

And was it really worth it?
To be this?
Don't even know what garment to wear
I hope it's not a mistake
They even wrote your name on the wall
Are they laughing when they see the pain in your heart?
Are they laughing now when you're afraid and in the dark?
Or when you beg and plead?
We all get ours, we all take what we need
We all get ours, don't be so hard to please
And when I walked in the room, I saw them talking to you
And when I started to move, I found I was frozen too
To their demands, to their remarks
To their demands
Don't you love it when he says your name all wrong?
Don't you love it when the summer wades in your arms?
No winter and no rain
We all get ours, we all come out to play
We all get down, it gets so hard to fake
Slaves to our gods
To our names
To our fates and to our brains

Trouble With You
03:39

Strange way to start
Without a war
And working at the same old job
You wonder what for
See and that's the trouble with you
Timing all your troubles by two
Where is my holiday weekend
When will this end?
I'm living under false pre-tense
False weakness
Maybe that's the trouble with you
Believing your trouble's so true

You don't have to say anything
I know what you mean
I couldn't wait anyway
I would bet it all on everything
And hope again once more
For your love
For your love
As night falls and we go to sleep
I dream of every face
That you're wearing these days
And when the darkness comes to carry me away
And the white light fades
For your love
For your love
