Dance Away the Shame

oh god
i feel weird saying that name
i'm listening
to what has been claimed
they say time is coming to an end
find a heaven and maybe you'll love again
i don't want to be left behind
but i dont want to be blind
dance away the shame
i am the one to blame
i am blinded by his flame
take my head and turn it away
i love not to understand
i hate not to understand
i swear we're not on fire
and i apolgize to your sire
but if God claims i've caused you pain
then i'll agree and back away
forever.
or maybe never.
probably forever.
i'll find somewhere that i don't care
dance away the shame
i am the one to blame
i am blinded by his flame
take my head and turn it away
i love not to understand
i hate not to understand
i will gain control
if i clean myself
i will gain control
if i clean myself in your swimming pool
God has done nothing to me
so i won't pretend that i've been seen
i'm just a pawn in God's game
it'll calm me down to know he's just in my brain
oh no, that made it worse.
and now it hurts.

Jeff Takes a Bow

i am the one you hate
isn't that great
let me have it
i need to learn my place
give a hail to New York
give a hail to New Jersey
the one hates clean
The other rises to early
Jeff takes a bow
He didn't see me coming
I took his place
and then i set off running
Here's my proclomation
To future alien nations
hear your plea
open up and see
we have a glass globe
so our vision flows free
you fall into bits
then fall back out of it
and we all agree
we do not give a shit
Jeff takes a bow
He didn't see me coming
I took his place
and then i set off running
Here's my proclomation
To future alien nations
Jeff takes a bow
He didn't see me coming
I took his place
and then i set off running
Here's my proclomation
To future alien nations
i can't understand you
i can't understand you
i don't like it
i don't like it
i'm blind to your just cause
maybe you should change the law
maybe you should change everything

millions of people go through the same thing
but none of them have been up this mountain you're climbing
batman, your robin loves you, don't ever forget
robin is here, robin is flying
god damn i am, god damn i am going out on a safari
trying to think of a fancy way to say i am so sorry
and that's all i can do
but there's no fancy way to say i love you
there's no fancy way to describe a huge loss
its just pure emotion, so much for gloss
if you need to yell, yell out till you're crying
cause no one wants to see their sidekick dying
all these loose ends that don't need tying
cause robin is here, robin is flying

i'm missing my friends
no one is better than them
oh god, im romanticizing again
here's to dissapointment on my end
have you found where you're going?
have you found where you're off to?
i'm trading silk with strangers
and i want it to cover all of you
i loved you since you were bored
i loved you cause we're ignored
can you take it down a notch?
i just wanna be alone, no one can watch
i watched you evaporate
it made me salivate
have you found out if you bleed?
and if you do can i see?
have you found where you're going?
have you found where you're off to?
i'm trading silk with strangers
and i want it to cover all of you
have you found where you're going?
have you found where you're off to?
i'm trading silk with strangers
and i want it to cover all of you

Holy Lions

|
i had my doubts that'd we all scream inside you
you'll fill my mouth with love and holy anthills
it has my place except when i am beside you
great gods await
i need to be filled
holy lions want to love me
and i love them back
we all have strong shoulders
we show them off to eachother
oh yea
this is the lamest poem i've ever read

Bite Me Back
06:28
|
|||
|
you're gonna bite back one day
this is tearing me up
and the knot inside my chest keeps growing
it hurts and i want it gone
this shit is stupid
lets not believe them
so i can feel like a forest fire
destroy all my desires
keep shut, please don't say anything
it hurts my skin
i can feel them chasing me
i am running
i am still running
from something that hasn't happened

Scare the Choir
03:47
|
|||
|
angels weep with joy but weep none the less
they sleep on couches preparing their chests
for the next day telling you that they love your body
of work that you've done, well they don't mean it they all do pilates
let's scare the choir
we can see they are lairs
don't listen to what they say
they don't mean it anyway
let's scare the choir
we can see they are lairs
don't listen to what they say
they don't mean it anyway
rip jacob both of them
please look in a mirror and realize we're not friends
i don't mean to be rude, but i totally do
just pretend no one has seen you nude
let's scare the choir
we can see they are lairs
don't listen to what they say
they don't mean it anyway
let's scare the choir
we can see they are lairs
don't listen to what they say
they don't mean it anyway
lets scare the choir
don't listen to what they say
they don't mean it anyway

Astral Projecting
02:27
|

|
where have you been?
we've been waiting
on 10,000 spirits
you promised to deliver
everyone will drink it
but i'll just get a sliver
and i'll watch you drown
and when your head is all the way under
i'll pull you out to make you feel thunder
let him love you
you are me too
i don't need sympathy
i hope we can deliver
i'm astral projecting
into and through you
let me back down
we're almost up to heaven
let me go now
let me down
me go now
let me go back down

Watch Me Exist
04:04
|
|||
|
sit back watch me exist
sit back watch me get pissed
at this fragility i've missed
it kills every ounce of joy i held in my fist
watch this it's reached it's peak
watch me just turn my cheek
god damn this sure is bleak
he keeps looking and it gives me the creeps
i wonder how i got here
i wonder where you are
i wonder if i am fear
i wonder if i have scars
hey looks oh wait not yet
i'm not dressed and i'm all wet
so you keep making bets
on which parts you think are the best
i wonder how i got here
i wonder where you are
i wonder if i am fear
i wonder if i have scars
we're looking at your timeline
the thing is all screwed up
supposed to love in high school
instead i'll never feel your touch
i wonder if you've seen the day
you wonder if i've seen the night
let's wonder together
let's wonder if we're all right
i wonder how i got here
i wonder where you are
i wonder if i am fear
i wonder if i have scars
we all have your scars
we all have your scars
i won't make it that far
maybe i'm not cut out for all this harm

i wish i could sit and stare at the stars at 2 A.M
just to clear my mind, but only this time
does my brain know what to send
to a very nice and kind, dear friend of mine
say your prayers then leave
we are listening for the trees
we are hoping for our fate
we whisper and wait for something great
i watched my soul sink in the moon
send me to heaven or any place i'm dreadin'
cause when it disappeared it made a sonic boom
my sympathy is penned in sadness slowly sets in
there is no light in me
i will take all sympathy
i have not found my place
we whisper and wait for something great
i swear i will find your fear
tare it all apart i am the shadow in the dark
break my bones and drink my tears
my callus fingers dry up, though its been happening for several years
look out now we're free
we have lost sincerity
and now i am full of hate
we whisper and wait for something great
luke is on fire
luke is so tired
luke is all right
nevermind he's just so fucking uptight
we whisper and wait for something great
now i am let out of the gates
