Lyrics

1. I WISH I MAY

Shove me under you again
I can't wait for this to end
Sober, empty in the head
I know I can never win
Why should I have to wait
I'll just look the other way

[Chorus]
We left this land of shiny lights
I wish I may, I wish I might
When all these dreams have come to end
You wish you were, you're not my friend
I can see you suffocate
I can find no other way
Try to make you saturate
I can be your enemy
Why should I have to wait
I'll just look the other way

[Chorus]
Woah no

[Chorus]
You said you'd love
To see the end
The long hard road
That I have been
When all these dreams have come to end
You wish you were, you're not my friend
Blind eyes shine through


2. MEDICATE

I got somethin' up my sleeve
I know you will cover me
inside out and in between
I know you will cover me
I've got bruises on my knees
I know you will cover me
inside out and in between
and I know you will cover me

[Chorus:]
Run away
make hate
and get laid
we get laid
you tie me up
I've had enough
so medicate
medicate

I'm already incomplete
I know you will cover me
broken by your empathy
I know you will cover me
I've been lyin' here for weeks
I know you will cover me
inside out and in between
and I know you will cover me

[Chorus x 3]


3. POLYAMOROUS

The day has come to an end
The sun is over my head
My polyamorous friend
You got me in a mess of trouble again

[Chorus:]
So
Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawling out from the inside
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all

They've come to get me again
The cloud is over my head
My polyamorous friend
You got me in a mess of trouble again

[Chorus]

Just stay away from the white line
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all

Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?

[Chorus]

Just stay away from the white line
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all
Let's go


4. SKIN

Well I know you don't know the reason
And it's cold, a sign of the season
'Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away

[Chorus:]
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

Well it's gone and it's not returning
And your clothes and pictures are burning
'Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

I couldn't imagine
Why you would save yourself


5. NATURAL LIFE

Hold still
All of my life
All of my time
I don't wanna come back around tonight
And all that I need
Is serenity
I don't wanna feel your new disease

[chorus]
The natural life
You're born, you die
The natural life
You're wrong, you're right
The natural life
You're born, you die
The natural life's a lie

All of my lies
Swallow your pride
I don't wanna come back around tonight
And all that I need
Is serenity
I don't wanna feel your new disease

[chorus]

Right
You're right
I can never lie
Let me go
Try to find a home
I can't wait
Try to stay awake
Dead inside
Bothered by the lie
You're right

[chorus]

a lie


6. NEXT TO NOTHING

Beneath this wave
I just can't take your breath away

You cut me down
You know I'll always be around
So now I wait
I know you'll live another day
Come and take my breath away
Look me straight in the face

Cause I know it's over
Growin' colder
I need something
With me next to nothing
All we ever wanted
I need something
With me next to nothing
Next to nothing

I cut you down
I know you’ll always be around
So now you'll wait
I know you'll live another day
Come and take my breath away
Look me straight in the face

Cause I know it's over
Growin' colder
I need something
With me next to nothing
All we ever wanted
I need something
With me next to nothing
Next to nothing
Next to nothing
Next to nothing
Next to nothing

Cause I know it's over
Growin' colder
I need something
With me next to nothing
All we ever wanted
I need something
With me next to nothing
Next to nothing


7. WATER

What's all this talk of a notion?
I'd rather drink from the ocean
What did you mean when you said no?
I only want what is best for you
But I won't ever let you drown
No I won't ever let you down

[chorus]
Cause I am my enemy
The water's up to the knee
I never wanted nothin' from you
Yes I do, yes I do
My engine's runnin' on dry
My head's so fucked up inside
Shut up
I know
I said so

There is no way to recover
You told me there is no other
The surface is getting hotter
I'll shove your head under water
But I won't ever let you drown
No I won't ever let you down

[chorus x 3]


8. HOME

I've got a little red bow
And I bought it for you
'Cause I know you're not fair
I don't get it, oh well
And you color my skin
And the colors don't blend
'Cause I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too

There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
And I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate

There's no place like home
There's no place like... home
Like
Home

I've got a southern belle too
In her ruby-red shoes
With a body of straw
Are you sick of it all?
There's a man made of tin
With an oil-can grin
And I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too

There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
And I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate

There's no place like home
There's no place like home

There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
Can you let me go down
To the end of the road?
In the black and the white
A technicolorful life
Can I stand by your side?
We can make it alright

I'm home

'Cause I'm home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
Can you let me go down
To the end of the road?
In the black and the white
A technicolorful life
Then another arrived
It's a cowardly lion

What I want from this world
What I want to resolve
Well, I want you to stay
So I want you to wait
I don't wanna be bold
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna grow old
I wanna go home


9. PHASE

The light is dead in your eye
So I'll keep living my life
I only wanted to try
To find my way back inside
My imitation of life
My litigation of life
It's something easy to find
Inside the shade of your eye

[Chorus]
Out of the ground I rise to grace
Nobody knows it's just a phase
Help me I'm out of breath again
Nobody knows somewhere to make it go away

Phase [x4]

I find it hard to decide
The way to make up your mind
Your lips are better than mine
So you can kiss this goodbye
My imitation of life
My litigation of life
It's something easy to find
Inside the shade of your eye

[Chorus]

It's just a phase
And I can't wait
Phase [x3]
I know [x3]
It's just a fucking phase

I'm drained time to fake and delay
Watch the penny drop
Let it go up and in drop
Then watch it roll
Let's all mourn till
I survive inside you


10. NO GAMES

This game is over
I'm mean and older
You're coming closer
Over and over
My dear Brianna
I need an answer
What was the question?
I can't remember

[Chorus:]
Would you, want to
Feel the way that I do?
And I bend, to your will
Not for blaming myself

Tied to the needle
My drunk libido
My nervous ego
The faster we go
You are an asshole
King of the castle
I am the meager
Follow the leader

[Chorus]

And I know that you don't
Like the way that it goes
We're all in, so begin
But just remember: I win
I win, I win, I win, I win
I win, I win, I win, I win


11. SUGARCOAT

It started again
claimin' a friend
I couldn't be
I've never been
I'm all alone
out in the cold

I'll never know
your sugarcoat
you're ready to blow
you're ready to go
but I'll never know
your sugarcoat
is just as sweet as I am

[Chorus]
Look what you did
Suck on your lies 'til your eyes turn red
what did you say
willing to drown in a tidal wave
Take me away
let me believe that you're on your way
look what you did
Suck on your lies 'til your eyes turn red

I'm on the floor
battered and bored
you got a taste
I can't ignore
I'm all alone
out in the cold
I'll never know
your sugarcoat
you're ready to blow
you're ready to go
but I'll never know
your sugarcoat
is just as sweet as I am

[Chorus]
Look what you did
Suck on your lies 'til your eyes turn red
what did you say
willing to drown in a tidal wave
Take me away
let me believe that you're on your way
look what you did
Suck on your lies 'til your eyes turn red

[Chorus]
Look what you did
Suck on your lies 'til your eyes turn red
what did you say
willing to drown in a tidal wave
Take me away
let me believe that you're on your way
look what you did
Suck on your lies 'til your eyes turn red

Red
Your eyes are red


12. SHALLOW BAY

Come on
The sun will rise
Another time
The colors blind
Your virgin eyes
I'm so inclined
To make you mine
You're out of line
And out of time

[chorus]
And I float upon a shallow bay
lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
Don't over kill
This painless thrill
It's bitter still
Your pretty pill
You wait until
You've had your fill
I know you will
I know you will

[chorus]
A shallow bay
A shallow bay

[chorus x 2]
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live


13. FOREVER

Do you know that I could never leave you?
And you know I could never beat you?
And if I, if I could never find you never-mind, I would not forget you.

Can I stay alive forever?
Can I stay alive forever?
Can I stay alive forever?

Forever. can i feel a chemical reaction?
Because I feel a hideous
Attraction could we share a poison apple?
Could it be maniacal and awful?

Can I stay alive forever?
Can I stay alive forever?
Can I stay alive forever?

Forever. forever
Stay alive forever
Forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever
