I wanna suffocate
Inside your warm embrace
I wanna feel your love
Parading through my veins
I want your scent on my collar
to breathe when you're away
I wanna suffocate
I'll breathe another day
There you are
my sweet release
They've been cruel
keeping you from me
But I want you back
(Take me back around the bend)
Yeah I need you bad
(Love you till the very...)
End
I wanna suffocate
Inside your warm embrace
I wanna feel your love
Parading through my veins
I want your scent on my collar
to breathe when you're away
I wanna suffocate
I'll breathe another day
There you are
My sweet disease
I've been dying to die
at your feet
Cuz I want you bad
(You're my one and only friend)
Yeah I need you bad
(Love you till the very...)
End
I wanna suffocate
Inside your warm embrace
I wanna feel your love
Parading through my veins
I want your scent on my collar
to breathe when you're away
I wanna suffocate
I'll breathe another day
Take me back around the bend
Love you till the very

We All Get Lost
05:00

Preacher's boy who fell into
The well behind his father's house
He wouldn't dare to cry out
In fear the beast would find him out
And slither down
Now we all get lost
Now we all get lost
After days the devil came
Bit his side and broke him down
He cried until his tears would fill
The well and he was free
To finally swim out
Now we all get lost
Now we all get lost
Now we all get lost

We meet for drinks at day time
For the first time
And all my lines you've heard
About a dozen times before
If I could make
You want me I could be myself at last
It's a play
And we're just reading lines from the first act
But we don't have to play along
We could get by on our own
So could we just not play along
And when your salad
Hits the table I sense
The regret that you will be
Starving later
When all I want is
Is to connect to something real
Then I'll go on about the weather
If I could take
You by the hand and pull you close to me
Then I could shake
This feeling like we're playing out a scene
But we don't have to play along
We could get by on our own
So could we just not play along
Because we both know where this goes
Now we don't have to play
No we don't have to play along
We kiss beneath the moonlight
And for the first time
I can feel light enough
To just be carried by the flow
If I could make
You want me maybe you could want to stay
If only for a moment of a day
Just long enough to shake these nerves away
If I could
It's a play
And we don't have to play along
Along
Along
No we don't have to play

When we have gone on
From the earth
Like all of it's creatures we are
Fed on
By the earth
And all of it's creatures and so on
And so it goes
Some say we all get to go
Back home
Back into the infinite
Spaces in between
The edges of what we know
And what our eyes couldn't see
Come find me
When we are long gone
From the earth
And all of it's troubles we may
Be gone
So it goes
And some say we all get to go
Back home
Back into the infinite
Spaces in between
The edges of what we know
And what our eyes couldn't see
When we are long gone
Back into the infinite
Spaces in between
The edges of what we know
And what our eyes couldn't see
Come find me
Come find me
Come find me
Come find me

When did I get used to
Hiding my face smiling with my eyes
Knowing the world through
A screen in my palm as the time ticks by
Pretending to know
I cozy up beneath the static haze
Bury my head in the hive
Take time away from what I love to make
Time for something maybe someone will like
Pretending to know you
I must have gone under
(in a sleep)
Ages ago now I wake to find
(that everywhere I see)
Everyone's tired
(On their knees)
My friends all replaced their moms for wives
Now I miss believing
In something too good to be true
There's just no place for
A myth in the modern view
I cozy up beneath the static haze
Bury my head in the hive
Take time away from what I love to make
Time for something maybe someone will like
Pretending to know you
And yet when we see each other in the flesh
We barely say a word
And if we do it's hollow
Make plans that we both know
We don't intend to follow
I'd miss you more
If I wasn't used to
Pretending to know you
I cozy up beneath the static haze
Bury my head in the hive
Take time away from what I love to make
Time for something maybe someone will like
Pretending to know you

Good For You

I watch the color of your cheeks begin to change
And your eyes go soft when being held
I watch your frame contort with rapture when you kiss
And it's cruel cuz I feel my own dissolve as you hold onto his
Now If I
Was not
Paralyzed
I could be good for you
I could be good for you
But I won't be better
He pulls you in close and he whispers something in your ear
Whatever it is it makes you smile
Just cuz they're words I'd never dare to confess
It doesn't mean that he somehow means them any less
Now If I
Was not
Paralyzed
I could be good for you
I could be good for you
Now I could be good for you
I could be good for you
But I won't be better
I watch in awe as he somehow locks into your eyes
Where do you find that kind of courage
It's like staring right into the sun god knows I've tried
I never could despite how much I crave it's late
If I tried
I could be good for you
I could be good for you
I could be good for you
But I won't be better...no

Are you ok
I've never seen you this way
Wide eyed and weary
You used
To carry me
You used
To carry me
Around
Time Will make children of us all
Time Will make children of us all
Are you alright
I've never seen you in this light
Carved in my memories how
You used
To carry me
So easily So I
I'll carry you
This round
Time Will make children of us all
Time Will make children of us all
The summer will fade into the fall
Time Will make children of us all
Are you ok
It's not like you to be afraid
Old age is scary
Cuz you used
To carry me
So easily So I
I'll carry you
You used
To carry me
You used
To carry me
So I'll carry you
I'll carry you
You used
To carry me
carry me
So I'll carry you
I'll carry you
This round
Are you ok

We were wrapped
In the warmth
Of a day dream
Like a newborn
Sound asleep
Til someone pulled the sheets away
We were cool
In the shade
Of ambition
Of what could be made
By desire made us tired
And wishing never got us well
Well
And now I lie awake
Most nights
Wishing I could cut these tethers
If I could sleep
Well then I could dream
I’d dream of ways to sleep forever
I’ll lie and wait
For the world to end
Never mind (never mind)
My strange hesitation (every time)
As you plot out the days
Still ahead
How I dread
Breaking your heart again
It’s not you
That I can’t
Quite imagine
For the first dance
It is me
I don’t see
Making it to dance with you
You
Cuz now I lie awake
Most nights
Wishing I could cut these tethers
If I could sleep
Well then I could dream
I’d dream of ways to sleep forever
I’d lie and wait
For the world to end
If I could only be holy again
If I could only be whole again
If I could only begin again
