1. BESITOS

You're my favorite explosion.
(You know the only real way to cure pain is to add a little More,
Because everything new distracts the old.)
A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no words.
A drowning boy with no voice prays someone up there's Telling me,
You'd better not get back up!
I spit my heart into this red cup.
I'd better pick it back up, it might ruin your night.

And she said,
Baby, leave the water by the bed for later,
And I woke up without a single drop.

I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied if all you have is not Enough.

(True love comes from more than just the heart)

She said paint a picture on me,
Throw your dress up and your heart away.
Yeah, I heard what you said.
A friend of a friend, these strangers at the party never Paid.
And if that doesn't turn you on.
I'll keep talking till something does.
As we're covered in sand, you roll over and smile.

I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have.
And until that day,
I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.
Red rose of the dead.
How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside her head?

So say it, say I'm in love, cause you called me
Crying from your job, said you just got fired.
And you don't have a backup plan,
So don't expect me to understand.

(A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold, she was covered In blood last seen in San Francisco)

Yeah!
We all breakdown.
Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends,
But they were there from beginning to end.

I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have.
You know I've never held a gun in my life,
But now I carry one around in case I see you tonight.
Bedroom walls.
Oh, these bedroom walls.
Oh, I hate what it tastes like.


2. SOUTHERN CONTELLATIONS

Please keep chasing me,
You Southern constellations got me so dizzy.
It's cold but you pretend that you are warm with me.
Before I get you home you're nearly frozen,
But I'll never let you freeze without me.
Oh, no.


3. THE BOY WHO COULD FLY

Freeze, it's time to take you home
It feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your Door
Now our lips are numb as we walk sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer
I hope you like the stars I stole for you
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue
I'll be the brightest someday, I'll be the brightest you'll See
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun
Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from The sky
We bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the Stairways
And I ask myself, why do I still pray
When will it end
And who fucking cares
I swear to God I did what I could
I practically begged you
I pretended everything was fine
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare
I'd rather be dead
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head

I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom
You barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped You ,you died in California by the sulfur and the sea
I guess I never should have loved you
But I do forever because you loved me
And I break my glasses as I fall in the street
If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without Me
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste
Because without you there is no me
There's no me at all
Sometimes love dies like a dog
So why don't we just let this one take care of itself
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon dreams
Don't rain in my parade
I'm losing a perfect thing (x3)


4. CARAPHERNELIA

Sunshine!!! ,there ain't a thing that you can do that's Gonna ruin my night
But there's just something about this dizzy dreamer and
Her bleeding little blue boy
Licking your fingers like you're done and you've decided
There is so much more than me
And baby honestly it's harder breathing next to you I shake
I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me
Hold my heart it's beating for you anyway

What if I can't forget you
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that I'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole

Nobody prays for the heartless
Nobody gives another penny for the selfish
You're learning how to taste what you kill now
Don't mind me,
I'm just reaching for your necklace
Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas

What if I can't forget you
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that I'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole
Just give her back to me
You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need
So baby what if I can't forget you
Collide invisible lips like a shadow on the wall and just Throw,
Oh no
You can't just throw me away

So what if I can't forget you
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that I'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces
What if I don't even want to
Oooh oooh oooh oooh......


5. FAST TIMES AT CLAIREMONT HIGH

I've been saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you.
I've been saving myself for you.

Tonight we'll be throwing a party.
Under the sunset we started to drink.
A little faster now!
This celebration so many faces.
I say the words as the moon painted us blue.

I've been saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you,
Cause I was saving myself for you.

(Now brother bring that beat back!)

Now hold on, this is innocent blood,
All the beach boys look like sharks.
Because without you nothing ever mattered,
I scream and wave my arms but you don't understand me.
Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over.
If I die, you die too.

Because I'm saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you,
Cause I was saving myself for you.
I just wanted one dance with you,
One night under the smoke alarm.

Every single door in this house is on fire!

So melodramatic but it turns me on.
I close my eyes it feels just like a movie.
I'm convinced that we don't make sense,
But I'd kill anyone who gets close.

I've been saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
The sharpest thing I find for you,
Cause I was saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I saved myself for you.
Don't you know I'd die for you?
I saved myself for you.
(Without you what's the point?)


6. THE NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM

Drag my hand behind you like a chain behind a truck.
Sparks over your carpet while I chase you through the Darkness.
Somebody's supposed to fall in love, but nobody even calls.

Somebody's supposed to tear this place apart until you find Me hiding, silently I wait.
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay.

Summer and gold, throw their colors at the dark,.
A mother tells her son, darling look at the sparks.
But you hold my attention without even trying.
A beautiful reflection from firework eyes.
But never means forever.
Desperation, and hanging in the backyard at night.

Somebody's supposed to fall in love.
Tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silenty I Wait.
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay.

Love, Don't forget to bleed so slowly.
Haunted hearts we melt over the fabric of your floor
I'm holdin' her just like she's gold, but I've been
Running from the sun.
Oh, no, no.
And if I ever catch the ones who hurt you.
I'm hoping that God looks away this time.
So, why would I let you go?
Why would I let you go? Let you go.

Tear apart this place apart until you find me hiding,
Silently I wait.
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay


7. BULLETPROOF LOVE

I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights,
We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights.
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone,
So darling, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is Gone.
(Say I'm wrong)
In the sunset turning red behind the smoke,
Forever and alone.
Yeah!

You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me
Will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain.
I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist,
And when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in.

I'll sing along, oh
Cause I don't know any other song.
I'll sing along,
But I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barely hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone,
And now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken Moon.

This isn't fair!
(No!)
Don't you try to blame this on me.
My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot Me.
And god damn it, I can barely say your name,
So I'll try to write and fill the pen with blood from the Sink.
Woah oh
But don't just say it, you should sing my name.
Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours,
And we can sing this on the way home.

I'll sing along, oh
Cause I don't know any other song.
I'll sing along,
But I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barely hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone,
And now there's nothing to do but tear my voice apart.
Nothing to do,
And scream at the drunken moon.


8. STAY AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS

Waking up your neighbors downstairs
I've been inside your bedroom a thousand years
And as you tie me to the bed for good I say
That I want you in the most unromantic ways

Louisiana, you're torturing me with a beautiful face
Ana come on, I thought we had a damn good thing (damn good Thing)
A penny in the couch and a diamond ring

So baby stay away from my friends
Cause I need them to carry me when it's over
I'll count back from ten and you can listen to
Glass hearts shattering

I don't know how you got into me
Down my throat and made a home in my veins
They used to be the rivers that would take us away
But now you only call me every Christmas and my birthday
I still can't believe how you look next to me
Just like a strip club bedroom scene

Baby stay away from my friends
Cause I need them to carry me when it's over
I'll count back from ten
And you can listen to
Something that you've never heard before (never heard Before)

But you don't know what it's like to wake up in the middle Of the night
Scaring the thought of kissing razors
This blood evacuation is telling me to cave in
Stay away
Oh no
Just stay away from my friends.


9. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE CONTAGIOUS

Bury me in the bedroom where I,
I can sing you to sleep all night.
Put me next to the open window,
Promise me a second time.
Cause I don't want to leave without you buried by my side.
I'd rather kill the one responsible for falling stars at Night,
Cause they fall all around me.
The night can be deadly.

And they'll never take us alive.
(Can you chase away the darkness?)
To live in love and die.
Last night she recited every reason she's fine.
So if we're heading there together at the same time,
you sing while I drive.

Move like a fugitive tonight.
Dance on the ambulance,
Cause I would rather spend my life
Vacations in bed with you like drunken summer kites.
And this is only a test,
Sober and scaring me to death.

They'll never take us alive.
(Can you chase away the darkness?)
To live in love and die.

And I don't care if you're sick,
I don't care if you're contagious.
I would kiss you even if you were dead.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life?
Cause I'd do anything to hold your hand.
And I don't care if you're sick,
I don't care if you're contagious.
Oh, no.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life?
Cause I'd do anything, anything, anything.

They'll never take us alive,
Cause I'll chase away the darkness.
I'll live in love and die.
I joined the party for the recently blind.
So if we're heading there together you can sing all night.

I'm gonna tear out the thread one by one from your skin
Till your bones feel embarrassed by all the attention.
Kiss me while I drive.


10. DISASTEROLOGY

I laid down,
I drank the poison then I passed the fuck out.
Now let me tell you 'bout the good life,
I have a million different kinds of fun
When I'm asleep and in a dream that I'm your only one.

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it?
Nobody knows I dream about it, this is my imagination.

If you come over tonight we can travel through time,
We can sleep on the ceiling and creep under black lights.
I have a million different girls that hide under my bed,
And when I let them out they treat me right.
Oh what a waste of a perfectly good, clean wrist.
You were screaming till the police came.

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it?
Nobody knows I dream about it, this is my imagination.
If every living thing dies alone,
What am I doing here?
If every living thing dies alone,
What am I doing here?
(Fuck it!)

If it's the end of the world!
If it's the end of the world,
You and me should spend the rest of it in love!

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it?
Nobody knows I dream about it, this is my imagination.
If every living thing dies alone,
What am I doing here?
If every living thing dies alone,
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
Oh, no.


11. MILLION DOLLAR HOUSES

So, what if I was just a painter painting houses on
The rich blue coast?
Would you ever try to leave me for somebody who
Deserves you most?
Cause darling I am just a painter.
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks.
I'm gonna make a million dollars, 'cause nobody's gonna
Steal you, no.
For diamonds and gold.
For diamonds and gold.

Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only.
I make money, but we just can't keep this home.
Give me your heart and your hand.
And we can run, we can run, we can run baby, run now
We can run, baby run.

She's like a bullet through an ocean.
I still remember how you moved so slow.
You tried to kill me with your shotgun.
Bang now we're even.
We don't stop till someone's bleeding.
I've broken bones for you, and for you only.
I make money, but we just can't keep this home.
Give me your heart and your hand.
And we can run, we can run, we can run, baby run now.
We can run, baby run, baby you're my hope

Permanently yours
Sometimes, the moon looks brighter then the sun.
As times like this; run up my wrists.
She hates all of the guts and blood.
Slash around with me.
While we move like flames on burning sheets
And Your doctor won't stop calling me; her medication.
But, baby, no sometimes things don't work out the way
We planned.
To live is just to fall asleep.
To die is to awake

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love.
But, I'll fight for you till then.
And if they stole you from you me.
On my arm there's a tattoo of your name.

I've broken bones for you, and for you only.
I make money but fuck money
We want love.
Give me your heart and your hand, and we can run.


12. THE SKY UNDER THE SEA

I still remember the night you tried to kiss me through
The window.
I tried to settle for the taste of touching glass over
The sound of answering machines,
Because I love the way your voice, it says it's gonna
Get back to me someday.
As I brace my knees you hold me down with your eyes.

Someday I'll Drive, close both my eyes,
We'll swim in circles in the blue lights.
It's gonna be the best day of my life.
Oh my God, you'll never be as beautiful without me.
Beauty needs an animal to breathe.
And Baby you'll be alright as long as I'm not,
So do that dance in the dark.
Sharpen your teeth and bite as hard as you want.

Someday I'll Drive, close both my eyes.
We swim in circles in the blue lights.
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea.
A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean.
Oh, no.
And this is gonna be the best day.
A celebration of an ending.
Come on!

And do you really trust your tongue or did you bury the
Taste?
And is this fantasy real, or is it all home-made?
And did you call me last night just cause you couldn't
Get away?
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the selfish machine.

Do you think you're the only one? (Afraid)
Do you think you're the only one? (Afraid)
Do you think you're the only one afraid of this machines

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes.
I'll be your breath if you can't be mine,
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea.
A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean.

Oh, no.
Oh, no.
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4.
And do you see me at all under the tall waves (x2)
