I vaguely remember dancing to Soviet Kitsch
But I can't recall what you were wearing
If you were wearing anything
But I still know
The smell of carnations in the garden on the eve of Spring
I recall almost everything
Carve 'CONTROL' into your skin
'So this is permanence'
And those old songs still sound so sweet
Bleed again with me

It's okay to attract the like minded
But what I've found over time is that most of my friends want to die
Some grew through it
Others tried to make it known louder than words that they're hurt
I don't feel like me, that's true
And you keep saying that you're still you
But you don't speak like anyone that I remember
I'll take some time to count my blessings
Then be sure to make a mess of it
I'm pretty bored by now of trying to pretend that I'm doing anything but timing the days that turn to weeks and months
Spent without love
I don't feel like me, that's true
And you keep saying that you're still you
But you don't speak like anyone that I remember

7 Setting Suns

Got to get out of this room
Got to get out of this mood
Got to get better at pretending I'm a little more into you
Got to think about the cats
Got to think about the kids
Got to think about the photographs I don't want shared on the internet
But you look so sweet
Blowing your smoke rings
On this dead end street
You and me
Suffering from sleep paralysis; migraines and bad breath
Caught somewhere between half dead and half asleep
Maybe it is just where we belong
Between Seven Setting Suns

Faking Love
03:17
|

I'm a walking contradiction
My standards born of fiction
That I'll do and undo
I love you, you hate me, I hate me too
See, we're not so different me and you
I used to look forward to what time would bring
Now I sleep alone and piss in the sink
I guess you sit around, procrastinate
While I keep busy and...
It's not the same with someone else saying my name
I'm pretty sick and tired of who I've been
Hiding the cum on my jeans
Lying about who I'm seeing
Not to mention what happened in the cemetery
We spoke for two hours and we hung up the phone
I'd be lying if I said I was alone
I timed it right, I rocked right up
Spent the next hour faking love
It's not the same with someone else saying my name
I've never known a city with so much sadness
I'm not sure that I can share it with you
So if you return then I'll be leaving
Grab my shit and heave it
To home or somewhere new
And far from me and you
(But far's never far enough)
Would that then make you happy?
Would that bring you resolve?
It's not the same with someone else saying my name
I tried to find something else worth living for
I tried to find it in someone else

Rose Of Sharon

With my blurry vision
I wear the Rose of Sharon
Mother is the word of God on the lips and hearts of all children
I wear a uniform resemblant of your life's work
I carry humility in all of my stumbled words
'you've already won me over; in spite of me'
I've never seen you cry, but I don't see you smile
Half a sentence with a cigarette in your mouth
I wanted to be cool
So I got a swallow tattooed
On my left arm, just like yours
Slightly less colourful
'you've already won me over; in spite of me'
I've never seen you cry, but I don't see you smile
Half a sentence with a cigarette in your mouth
Heaven is an open door
Heaven is a chemical

Bastard From A Basket
03:13
|

|
I think of the letters sent
To every family member and friend
It'll detail the love, or lack of, and lust
And how I'd had enough
I think of semi circles
Shoulder to shoulder stands every person
Forgive me if you can, hold grudges if you must
But honestly I'd had enough
Heaven knows I can't do this alone
Does your mother know what you do when you're away from home
God only knows what I'll do with the hole and mess you left of me
I think of the spaces left
Bereft, the people there that kept me in motion before the rust
A love since lost
I think of the days remaining
A childhood that I'd have tainted
Black tees and jeans in a casket
A bastard from a basket
If you could take back the time
Would you?
Because I would
Heaven knows I can't do this alone
Does your mother know what you do when you're away from home
God only knows what I'll do with the lack of holiness in me

Meet you on the corner of Herrick and Clinton
We can talk about all the things we got in to
Driving at the speed of sound back to your house
To get out of our clothes and into a mess
That we knew wouldn't last
I've never been one to make things so easy on myself
I've never been one to make it easy on myself
I just wanted to fade away
I still talk to Katie
You still stare straight through me
We don't talk anymore
I see you in the corridor
You're staring at me like I'm an astronaut and you're HAL
What I mean by that
What I mean by that
Is you don't break your eye contact
I've never been one to make things so easy on myself
I've never been one to make it easy on myself
I just wanted to fade away
Lately I've been getting down
But the same old barely red car has been getting me around

These things can start so sweet
As we meet in secret
You're innocent
You're heaven sent
We were too old to be kids
But god we never felt it
The troublesome teen in me
If everything falls apart are we wasting heart?
You can go and drown in a bottle
Does going out get old?
'Whiskey thought he knew me'
I should have known better than to hold you again
Split me between your friends
Those both old and new
They won't know the things you can do
You say your body is yours
But you give it away with ease
Let's wish back the time and leave it here
I'm taking back towns that I lost to your company
I'm reclaiming records that I'd left to loving you
Maybe I need to learn to sit a little
Stay still, think a minute
Put on our playlist for when we're done, down and beat
The one titled 'Conor Oberst, Make Me Sleep'
You can go and drown in a bottle
Because going out got old
'Whiskey thought he knew me'
I should have known better than to hold you again

Fade Away (Into You)
03:37
|

Fade away
I watched you count the ceiling tiles fifteen times today
Wide awake
The cobwebs in the corner start to take on different shapes as I
Fade away into you
Watch you fade from the person I thought I knew
Fade to grey
Trying to stop the bruising but your blood's too thin today
Kept in place
By a mask you wear four times a week
That's moulded to your face as I
Fade away into you
Watch you fade from the person I thought I knew
You don't smile so much now and I don't blame you

Let this be the last night
Leave it in silence
We can't have this again
(And again and again and again and again)
I'm staying up to be let down
It sickens me to say
I don't recall you being this way
Hoping these are the last embers
Because you don't speak like anyone that I remember
Let this be the last night
Leave me in my pity and misery

Contact (Bonus)
01:17
|
|||
|
The contact isn't easy
We've never been so good at leaving things to rest
As we should
Too many nights, eyes wide, resisting sleep
Too many nights, eyes white, resisting sleep
Too many nights
Eyes white, wide tonight
