I'm done with you
You know I'm walking away
Not quite the same
You know I miss your name
And hearing it every day
But I don't want to go
Take a breath and keep it all together
If you're feeling under weather
Take a second to remember
Lights out before 7
The sight's out
It's more heaven
The night's loud
It's all even
The night's young
We're still breathing
We tried drinking
But time's quicking
we're leaving
We stop thinking
The night's breathing
The clock's ticking
And sight seeing's
For day creatures
Not night beings
We slay preachers
And face features
Just taste gorgeous
We fire Mortars
Pick a grain of sand from the camel's eye
Watch 't hypnotised at comic books and cable ties
Stainless glass shards cutting underneath your feet
Let me play my poltergeist all the way to easy street
All the way above the ground
Makes a ticking sound
What's a couple pipe bombs between loving someone else
Even if they're sound enough to pick apart the crowd
Comforting as always like a blanket made of Pidgeon down
Miscreantic
I'm a failure of a romantic
I'm a sailor of the seven seas and I'm satanic
Fake magic
Pulling rabbits out of hats
Can we break manic
I guess we ain't drastic
Until the fake plastic catches on as something rousing
And the new cash prize is a couple hundred thousand
Put it all on the line for a shot at public housing
When the boat floods, don't go crying for me you'll make it worse
Pick your words for a curse
Then you turn to a mess in the church
With a bless you deserve
Dressed in a hearse and addressed, I preferred
You're obsessed by the verse
Derezzed by the birds in the best
In the surge in the centre of your chest
and you turn, your goddamn best to your worse
And your glimmer in your eye fades away like the first
Time that you gave in said yes first
Head first in the deep end
Back out on the weekend
Gone to see friends
But I don't want to go
