I’ll knock my teeth out To get away Get away from you I’ll scratch my way out I may not make it But I will kill myself trying When will it be enough? When you can see bone? When you’re finally numb? When will you be done? And would you even Would you even know? How long will you fight Before you just give in? The game can’t be won And you will kill yourself trying When will it be enough? When you can see bone? When you’re finally numb? Just because You are alone Does not mean You’re free I’ll burn the house down And I won’t wake you I won’t wake you up I’ll live a new life It will be perfect If it’s not perfect I will kill myself trying When will it be enough? When you can see bone? When you’re finally numb?

Every thing I feel turns to shit Every thing I dream falls away Every day I try and try and try Every day we lie, we lie, we lie Every thing I feel turns to shit Every dream I dream falls away Every day I try and try and try What would my parents say? What would God do? What would the doctors say? What would God do? Every hope I hope fails to be Every wish I wish goes to seed Every day I try, I try, I try Every day we die, we die, we die Every hope I have fails to be Every wish I wish to wish Every day I try and try and try What would my parents say? What would God do? What would the doctors say? What would God do? Every thing I feel turns to shit Every wish I wish goes to seed Every thing I dream falls away Every hope I hope fails to be Every thing I love runs from me Every fear I fear comes to be Every thing I feel goes to seed Every wish I wish turns to shit Every thing I dream fails to be And every day I try and try and try Cause every day we die, we die, we die And every day I try and try and try

No way you can stop these thoughts No way you can stop these thoughts No way you can stop these thoughts Till every dollar’s gone Everybody’s wronged No way you can stop these thoughts No way you can stop these thoughts No way you can stop these thoughts Stop stop stop stop Stop stop stop stop Stop stop stop stop (How can you think that…) You’ll can control these thoughts. No way you can stop these thoughts No way you can stop these thoughts Till every hair’s been plucked Every hole’s been fucked Stop stop stop stop Stop stop stop stop Stop stop stop stop (How can you think that?) Put your hands together now Put your hands together now And scrub… And scrub No way you can stop these thoughts No way you can stop these thoughts How can you be so irrational? Every song you can’t unthink Every drink you can’t undrink No way you can stop these thoughts No way you can stop these thoughts Put your hands together now Put your hands together now Put your hands together now And scrub And scrub And scrub

They’re waiting for you at the bar With drinks to throw in your face They’ll show up in front of your boss And reveal your big disgrace They’re the closest talkers And they’ll never give you space Your ghosts can’t take the hint Your ghosts keep coming back They’ll bust up the dinner party As you light the cherries jubilee They’ll tattle to everyone What you told them in therapy They’ll come for you heavily armed And they’ll get past security They’ll open your diary And they’ll let everybody see Your ghosts can’t take the hint Your ghosts keep coming back And you can’t escape The things that you hate Will find you Your ghosts won’t take the hint Your ghosts keep coming back They’ll stage interventions for you With your family and friends They’ll ruin everything On which your happiness depends They’ll be wherever you are And you know it never ends

What’s the point No matter what He will be gone What’s the point You may try hard He’ll still be gone What’s the point You can’t say much Don’t hold a grudge The man is gone The man is gone The man is gone… When I walk down the same streets we walked down When I go to the same places Will I see you Will these spaces shed traces of you Will I ever be free of you Will I Will I? What’s the point No matter what. He will be gone What’s the point You may try hard He’ll still be gone The man is gone What’s the point He will be gone He will be gone
7.	The Last First Time 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Won’t you kiss me with your tongue in your teeth? You on top, me underneath If you expect things, I’m the man for you Silence is eugenics, a sentence from a book Please fall for me, and I’ll fall for you Please fall for me, and I’ll fall for you We get too excited, did we move too fast? Is that even possible, building to last? Won’t you kiss me with your tongue in your teeth? Me on top, and you underneath Rejected and neglected, felt so alone Silence is healing, a line from a poem Please fall for me, I’ve already fallen for you Please fall for me, I’ve already fallen for you Is it possible to decide so fast Even when you’re building to last How can it feel like the first time? How can it feel like the first time? Will you drive me wild with your teeth? Me on top, you underneath I will listen if you want me to Silence is forgiving, a line from a book Please follow me and I will follow you Please follow me and I will follow you Won’t go back to the darkness before When loving felt like a chore Will you drive me wild with your teeth? You on top me underneath You ask questions, attention is paid Silence is a feeling, words from a book Please love me like I love you Please love me like I love you Freedom from the sickness, the doubts from before When all hope went out the door How can it feel like the first time? How can it feel like the first time? Won’t you kiss me with your tongue in your teeth? You on top, me underneath If you expect things, I’m the man for you Silence is eugenics, a line from a book Please fall for me and I will fall for you Please fall for me, and I will fall for you Did we get too excited, did we move too fast? Is that even possible, building to last? How can it feel like the first time? How can it feel like the first time? How can it feel like the first time? How can it feel like the first time?

We’re coming for you We know where you live We’re bloodied and bruised We’re slow to forgive We’re coming to take What you will not give We’re not fucking around We’re not fucking around We’re roused from our sleep We’ll answer the call We’ll get to your door If we have to crawl And when we arrive We’re taking it all We’re not fucking around We’re not fucking around We’re everyone We’re every skin We’re boiling and mad It’s all wearing thin Devising your end Is how we begin We’re not fucking around We’re not fucking around We’re coming for you We’re coming for you We’re coming for you
9.	My Silent Legs 03:25	lyrics	buy track
I'll come close to you and say That I love you just the same Tell me what to do, please stay You're the only one I'll be good, I'll be okay... I can walk with silent legs If you hear me, they will break... For a life of happiness I have followed you so blindly I have trusted, I have walked Never any need to talk There's no point in saying much Not when all of it is such That it makes me doubt And finally you shout... And finally you shout...

All of your devils are here All of your devils are here All of your devils are here, god forbid All of your devils are here All of your devils are here All of your devils are here All of your devils are here, god forbid All of your devils are here I thought you invited them … the guy who date raped you, called it consensual … the girl who gaslit you, called you mental … the kid who pushed you down, out on the play yard … the dude that laughed at you, when you couldn’t get hard I thought you invited them … the boss who thinks your work is “lacking potential” … the ex who thinks your life is inconsequential … the friend who never calls ‘cause you’re “too depressing” … the priest will not hear what you’re confessing I thought you invited them Why would you want them here? What use are they to you? Everything in your head somehow it’s all come true All of your devils are here All of your devils are here All of your devils are here All of your devils are here All of your devils are here I thought you invited them

Who needs God when you’ve got me Why do you bother caring? Who needs God when you’ve got me Why do you bother caring?

14.	If He Were Here 03:48	lyrics	buy track
If he were here Would you walk out and tell me you can’t stay? If he were here Would the words and laughter that we’ve had just fade away? Keep…me Save… me If he were here Would the things that we have shared be not enough If he were here Would you choose to give them up and act so tough? If he were here Would a car, a yacht, and all, make you decide Could you forget it all, forget how hard you cried? If he were here Would you leave us? If he were here Would you forget us? If he were here… If he were here… If he were here…

about
