That boy, take me away, into the night
Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest
I’ll do whatever you say to me in the dark
Scared I’ll be torn apart by a wolf in mask
A familiar name on a birthday card
Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
“You’re too old to be so shy,” he says to me so I stay the night
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we’re both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we’re in a crime scene
Well I have brittle bones it seems
I bite my tongue and torch my dreams
Have a little voice to speak with
And a mind of thoughts and secrecy
Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times we are cursed
Things cannot be reversed, learn from the ones we fear the worst
And learn from the ones we hate the most how to
Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
“You’re too old to be so shy,” he says to me so I stay the night
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we’re both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed
Cause we both know I’ll never be your lover
I only bring the heat
Company under cover
Filling space in your sheets
Well I’ll never be a lover
I only bring the heat
Company under cover
Filling space in your sheets, in your sheets
So, please just blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
“You’re too old to be so shy,” he says to me so I stay the night
It’s just a young heart confusing my mind, but we’re both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we’re in a crime scene
God knows you’re lonely souls
God knows you’re lonely souls
God knows you’re lonely souls
Yeah, yeah
I believe there’s a time and a place
To let your mind drift and get out of this place
I believe there’s a day and a place
That we will go to, and I know you wanna share.
There’s no secret to living (There’s no secret to living)
Just keep on walking
There’s no secret to dying (There’s no secret to dying)
Just keep on flying.
I’m gonna die in a place that don’t know my name
I’m gonna die in a space that don’t hold my fame.
God knows you’re lonely souls
God knows you’re lonely souls.
I believe there’s a time when the cord of life
Should be cut, my friends (Cut the cord, my friend)
I believe there’s a time when the cord can be cut
And this vision ends (Let this vision end).
But I’m gonna die in a place that don’t know my name
And I’m gonna cry in a space that don’t hold my fame.
Walking in the cold
Just keep on flying
There’ll be a searchlight
On the mountain high
God knows you’re lonely souls
God knows you’re lonely souls
God knows you’re lonely souls
God knows you’re lonely souls
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I’m a lonely soul
I’m gonna die in a place that don’t know my name
I’m gonna die in a place that don’t know my name.
God knows you are lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
I’m a lonely soul.
don’t know what i wanted
i have a memory
back at that party
i was all over her
we didn’t make out
or do anything
i just remember
i was lonely
i guess i am always
it’s not a problem
it’s just something
i got used to it
every stranger
makes me feel safer
and every person
seems more beautiful
Do you ever think about
What a lovely place the world would be
Without all the people
That make life so unpleasant?
All the small, petty people
All the ugly, annoying people
It’s hard not to think about it
I like to think about
What could be
Done to these people
Something cruel
Something mean
Something just
But the meaner the better
Goodness knows they deserve it
Have you ever dreamed of
Killing all the stupid people?
Not just the unintelligent people
But the sort that don’t know anything about anything
But seem to have opinions about everything
They’re only too ready to offer their advice about
How to run your life
And yet look at how they run their own lives
For the most part they’ve accomplished nothing
They’ve contributed nothing
Their lives are miserable
But they talk, talk, talk…
At the very least their tongues should be cut out
At the very least
Do you ever wanna
Kill all the people who tell lies?
Some certainly deserve it
Not necessarily the big liars
Or even those who teach lies as truth
I’m talking about people
Who say one thing and do another
Or who tell you they sent something express mail
When you know they haven’t
Did you ever want to
Kill all the slow people in the world?
The people who are in front of you
When they should be behind you
A crime that the swift should be help back by the slow
And it’s criminal that nothing is going to rectify it
And what about all the really ugly people?
Add them to the list as well
Some people try not to think about life’s ugliness
I’ve thought about it
I’ve thought about it quite a lot
Something should be done to these people
Something to make them suffer
The way they’ve made us suffer
I say, bring back the Circus Maximus
For starters
Unless these weeds are dealt with
They’ll poison everything
They are poisoning everything
We need a gardener
A brutal gardener
A thorough, thoughtful gardener
An iron gardener
Whatever happened to Vlad the Impaler?
Where’s Genghis Kahn when you need him?
Or Roi d'Ys?
Ayatollah Khomeini?
Adolf Hitler?
Benito Mussolini?
Nero?
Diocletian?
Kitchener?
Come back!
Come back!
Love will change the world
that’s what we were told in the 60’s
love will make you happy
love one another
love makes the world go round
all you need is love
we’ve talked of love non-stop for the last few decades
actually, the last few thousand years
where exactly has it gotten us?
are we one step closer to paradise?
hardly…
love hasn’t stopped war, cured crime, or erased poverty
hasn’t even come close.
look for any sign of improvement and i guarantee you
you’ll only the most cosmetic of changes
window dressing
empty symbolism
thatcherist falderal
things are getting better all the time the love nicks assure us
what about peace in the mid-east?
what about harmony in south africa
Sure, there’s peace in the mid-east
in between bombings
and there’s plenty of harmony in south africa
if you’re wealthy enough to live behind electrified fences and locked gates
in reality, things have turned to shit
social and moral decay is like an out of control cancer that has taken charge
a cancer born of love
if some people are actually stupid enough to believe things are improving
it’s only because their poor brains are so benumbed by love
that they can no longer think straight
love..
sickly love, brotherly love, unconditional love, cowardly love, keep love
a love that says relinquish judgment
a love that encourages acceptance at the expense of discernment
it’s no wonder people have imagined that things have changed for the better
when in fact all thats changed is their capacity to accept any amount of shit, unconditionally.
so the verdict on love is both bad and good
the bad news is that love has turned the world into a sewer
the good news is, people have learned to love the smell of shit
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that’s true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You’ll come apart and you’ll go blind
Some kind of light into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what’s not there.
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it’s strange you never knew
A stranger’s light comes on slowly
A stranger’s heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it’s strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it’s strange you never knew
I think it’s strange you never knew
If only I could love you enough
to give you what you need.
If I only I could be for you
the hand that feeds.
‘Cause I know you can only starve so much
until you like how it feels.
Sitting on a throne of bones
staring at that cold meal.
It’s not your body that I love,
but it’s the shell you’re inside of,
and you’re killing it.
You’re killing the only piece of you I can touch.
It’s not your body that I need,
but that’s what sleeps next to me,
and you’re killing it, you’re killing it, you’re killing it.
Please eat.
If only I could make you believe
you deserve everything.
Every spoon and bite,
anything you want to eat.
'Cause I know you can only starve so much
before you’ll die.
There’s parts of you already gone
I can never revive.
It’s not your body that I love,
but it’s the shell you’re inside of,
and you’re killing it.
You’re killing the only piece of you I can touch.
It’s not your body that I need,
but that’s what sleeps next to me,
and you’re killing it, you’re killing it, you’re killing it.
Please eat.
Make up your mind
Where do we start?
Thinking of me
You’re not allowed
Dangerous crowds
Pressing me into unthinkable voids
Are you a curse?
From bad to worse
Our affair
Helpless as I’m
Trying to react
You were the worst idea I ever had
Sometimes I wonder how I landed in a mess like this
And then you’re walking through the door
And not a thing goes wrong
Sometimes you wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And bells they ring there’s a day
When they will ring for us
Give me your heart
I’ll give you mine
Hopeless exchange
Chapter erased
They say we’re young
Too young to marry
Not too young to die
Sometimes I wonder how I landed in a mess like this
And then you’re walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
Sometimes you wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And bells they ring there’s a day
When they will ring for us
Wonder how we landed in a mess like this
Walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
Wonder how we landed in a mess like this
Ring there’s a day when they will ring for
Sometimes you wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And then you’re walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
Sometimes we wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And bells they ring there’s a day when they will ring for us
Like a midnight creature without a home
a raven without wings
A grave without a stone
I’d die like a tree without leaves
in the blistering winter
with a loveless disease
Please read it in my pale face
ask me if I’m a goth or a manic depressive
but please don’t be disturbed
Why ever since I left our friendship breaks to pieces
because I’m tired of your sad lives
how everyone made it without romance in this city
can you not see
that we can beat the cold with our closest friend
as long as we’re together we’re an avalanche
No one likes each other
In the 21st century
I want to lose the others because
I have to think about me
We’re damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of
When you’re in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretence
And you’re crying
When you’re by my side
There is no defence
I forget to sense I’m dying
We’re damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn’t come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us
When I feel the warmth of your very soul
I forget I’m cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I’m old
And dying
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart
To make the being alone
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart
To make the being alone
Easy, easy
Easy, easy
You break the bridals to make,
Losing control
Easy, easy
Crushed what you’re holding,
So you can say letting go is,
Easy, easy
Oh, easy, easy
Burn all your things
To make the fight to forget
Easy, oh, easy
Burn all your things
To make the fight to forget
Easy
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart
To make the being alone
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart
To make the being alone
Easy
(please put me to bed
and turn down the light)
fold down your hands
give me a sigh
put down your lies
lay down next to me
don’t listen when I scream
bury your doubts and fall asleep
find out I was just a bad dream
let the bed sheet soak up my tears
and watch the only way out disappear
don’t tell me why
kiss me goodbye
for neither ever nor never
goodbye
neither ever nor never
goodbye
