By Design

The day the doctor ordered me, I had him keep your wildest dreams in mind
Cause honey, you are in all mine
You’ve been a beating on the reins of my brain
But I am yours by design
I am yours by design
There’s not a whole lot more to me
Already spun out on the way but made it alive
With a face full of road signs
You’ve done a number one me, I can’t explain
But I am yours by design
You are about as fine as wine, you know what that does to me
I am broken glass and you just love to dance on me
You walk a winding line, you know I love it
I am made of glass and you have got a hold on me
Why don’t we go and tell the holy ghost
I don’t know how long it’s been but I hope we have longer to go
You’re so intoxicating, I can’t abstain
But I am yours, I am yours by design
You go down nice, and what I crave I cannot kick
Fine, fine wine, the kind that makes me so, so sick
You are all mine, and you know the line does not exist by design
You are about as fine as wine, you know what that does to me
There’s not a whole lot more to see
Already spun out on the way but made it alive
With a face full of road signs
Dark shadows still cast and parasites move fast when they’ve
Got somewhere dead they’re dying to die
And so I pull in tight, love and point my white glove
I wanna find out where you’re spending tonight, night love
It ain’t airtight, love but you can’t fight love
You can take me down a notch if you like, like love
You’ve done a number on me, I can’t explain
But I am yours

Talk To Me
05:09

Take it and go!
Talk to me, I listen best by ear
Talk to me cause I have been standing here for years
Nobody ever says anything around here
On the street asking the back of your head to lend an ear
Silent, divine, I’ll give you whatever is mine
My lifeblood, my lifeline
Hell, no, you’re so, so wild to me
You take it, break it and go so silently
We agree nobody wants to go down there
To say the least the place is looking slightly worse for wear
Talk to me, talk to me if you dare
Start talking, cause the devil may care, aw yeah!
Silent, divine, I’ll give you whatever is mine
You are far too refined
Hell, no, you’re so, so wild to me
You take it, break it and go so silently
I’m so confined to your sequestered mind
You take it, break it and go, take it and go
You take it, break it and go
Hell no, you're so, so wild to me
You take it, break it and go so silently
I’m so confined to your sequestered mind
You take it, break it and go
Take it and go
Talk to me, talk to me if you dare
Start talking cause the devil may care, aw yeah

At A Loss

Hellscaper, hold your prayer hands down right
Your black and blue sunset is burning with red tonight
Would you give me space to spin in my grave
If you had your chance to wave your black flag at me?
I know what that means
Hellscaper, every flame from the same first light
Your black and blue sunset is burning with red tonight
Your black and blue sunset is burning with red tonight, throw on the lights
Aerostat reveillon takes off tonight
I walked through fire today, down the aerial super highway
Hell, no hail Marys, my hopes are gone
I have got too much but nothing to say
Leave my body where it was, I’m reclaiming it because I’ve lived my life at a loss
And you bear a double cross, I’ve been living at a loss a long time
They call it a hellscape, holy hell on earth is taking its shape
Hell, no hail Marys, my hopes are gone
I have got too much, I have got too much but nothing to say

Long Haul Blues

Life is a long haul I can't seem to haul with these cold dirty bones and a backwards crawl
Lost the wherewithal to keep my head up tall, I'm so disaster-prone
Lost in the danger zone, the danger zone
Where am I? My name’s on a compass but I’m so lost all the time
Keep your arms and legs inside, I will be your guide
Now which way to go, I cannot decide, long haul blues
Where am I? Long haul blues
Long haul blues, have you got it in you?
Signs point left and right, I might not be so bright cause I get lost on the way every time
Now I’m really lost, choking on exhaust, my mental compass died
In the middle of the danger zone, the danger zone
Where am I? My name’s on a compass but I’m more lost every night
Keep your arms and legs inside, I will be your guide
Now which way to go, I cannot decide, long haul blues
Long haul blues, long haul blues, have you got it in you?
Life is a long haul, I can’t seem to haul
My cold dirty bones dropped the ball
Long haul blues, long haul blues

Undermine/Overthrow
03:43
|
|||

I left everything I had in a flaming pile of ash
I never had planned to survive, but here I am
So you can quit breathing my oxygen cause it’s the only thing I’ve got
The face that you see looks just like me but I’m telling you it’s not, no
Well, now you know, as above is so below
Well, now you know, undermine and overthrow
Well, now you know, as above is so below
Well, now you know, undermine and over -
Throw your famous throwing stars into my famous screaming wreck
I am accumulating weaponry found sticking out my neck
Look, I am no stranger to blood on my hands
Too bad you didn’t know, too bad you didn’t know
I don’t make the rules, I just force them
Well, now you know, as above is so below
Well, now you know, undermine and overthrow
Well, now you know, as above is so below
Well, now you know, undermine and overthrow
Well, I don’t make the rules, no, I just force them
No, I don’t make the rules, just want to make sure you know
Well, now you know, as above is so below
Well, now you know, undermine and overthrow
I’ve been undermined for the last time
Fists are weapons, so I use mine, so use your own
Undermine and overthrow

Goddess of the Sun

Lying here thinking ‘there’s no place like home’
But I can’t go inside cause it’s not my home anymore
So what do I know?
Dying here would be how I wanna go
But I can’t with my pride, I will not choke on your porch
So where do I go?
I slept in my jacket and my jeans last night
It’s how I sleep when I can’t get it right
I just heard some crashing and a scream last night
And now I’ve got nowhere to go
My memory leads me somewhere I should never have ever gone
My family needs me to know I can’t keep bleeding for everyone, not for everyone
Goddess of the sun
Goddess of the sun
Goddess of the sun
Lying here, only this time I’m alone
And I can’t go inside cause it’s not my home anymore
So where do I go?
Dying here under broken rays of sun
And I stare inside just to see my ghost on the floor
Do you think she knows
That I slept in my jacket and my jeans last night
On the floor under a neon light
Once again, I saw my sisters in a dream last night
And I wish I could hold them both
My memory leads me somewhere I should never have ever gone
My family needs me to know I can’t keep bleeding for everyone, not for everyone
Goddess of the sun
Goddess of the sun
Goddess of the sun
My memory leads me into another state of oblivion
My family needs me to know my blood ain’t needed by anyone, not by anyone
Goddess of the sun
Goddess of the sun
Goddess of the sun
My memory leads me somewhere I should never have ever gone
My family needs me to know I can’t keep bleeding for everyone
Goddess of the sun
