Every Monster
03:12
|
|||
I hate a lot of people the first time that I meet them
Hated my mother and my father
I screamed at the world and cried
And as the years went on, I twisted up my feelings
“The world is beautiful!”
A smile on my face as I spit lies
You’re a bitch, you’re a cunt
You’re a lot of words I wouldn’t use in mixed company
When you look into my eyes I want to strangle you
But I know every monster deserves a home
I’ve almost killed myself a half a dozen times
I’ve stared into the void, but got so fucking scared I'd pussy out
I’d punch myself across the face until I bleed
I’d weep until I fall asleep, pathetic helpless and alone
You hold the world at arm’s length, cuz you’re a coward, too
You’ll never know my name, but I’m in love with you
Because we are the same
Bite your tongue and absorb the blow
Every monster deserves a home
Every monster deserves
When did I become the kind of person that I hate?
I hate a lot of people the first time that I meet them
I’ve known myself so long, eventually I will get better
I’ve known myself too long, my mood is changing like the weather now
My mood is changing like the weather

Life On Earth
04:23
|
|||
Bored all summer long
I’ll stay inside, I’ll leave the air on high
There’s nothing out there for a lump like I’ve become
Go, go to the beach
Put on your trunks, get sand inside your shoes
Smile for Facebook and pretend you’re having the time
The time of your life
Try, try to keep up
Call your friends, make some dinner plans
Talk for an hour and reminisce about your high school
Find a menial job
Make someone’s lunch, make someone a buck
Wait for the paycheck so you can tuck it away
For a rainy day
What’s the point? I need a point!
I need proof there’s life on earth
If it’s true, we’re stuck in a zoo
I need youth, I need youth
Take it slow, play some Halo
On your TV, across the internet
Pull the right trigger and kill people you’ll never meet
Oh, this is dumb. I need some fun!
Maybe someone? A foot out of my door
I need an escape before I melt through the floor
Until the end of summer

My Girlfriend is a Robot
04:00
|
|||
When I wake up I wonder where you get your energy
Then one day you showed me your battery
I found you in a trash can in Japan
One whirr of your drive and I knew I’d be your man
Just help me understand! Why can’t you see?
Why? Why why why...?
Why do you feel so cold when I hold you close?
You’ll never die, die die die...
You’ll remain seventeen forever as I go
You know that she can fly, fights like a samurai
I see her soaring through the midnight sky
She’s leaving me behind
I want to hold her arm-cannon, if I can and
Take her away when she’s treated like a weapon
I don’t want her to go through that again
My girlfriend is a robot
I know she’ll never get caught by the Gestapo
Will you take care of me when I am dying of cancer inside the retirement home?

Stuntman
01:33
|
|||
You don’t really want to be a stuntman, baby
You just want to be DOPE-ASS BIGFOOT
You don’t really want to be a stuntman, baby
You don’t really want to be a stuntman, kid
They’ll use you up and throw you out the dope-ass window
Stuntmen weren’t made for love, or giving a shit
So hold me close tonight
Keep me warm inside
I will be your crutch
If you lay by my side
Let me wash your hair at night
Let me hold your hand when you’re sad
Kiss your face when you’re mad
Let me be your _________
You don’t really want to be a stuntman, baby
You don’t really want to be a stuntman, kid
They’ll use you up and throw you out the dope-ass window
Stuntmen weren’t made for love, or giving a shit
You don’t really want to be a stuntman, kiddo
You don’t really want to be a stuntman, girl
Nod your head and let me be your dope-ass boyfriend
Come to bed and let me take away your world
You will orgasm.
Dope-ass bigfoot.

Asuka
04:12
|
|||
Oh, I am tired, but awake again
Cup in hand, it’s three am
But I’m terrified that I will hold you down.
The specters all around my bed
Will comfort me and hold my head
But everything is cold here in the night
And if you’ve got wings, you should use them
If you’ve got wings, spread them and take flight
To me, tonight
Tonight, Asuka
Tonight, take flight
I’m like a man who is paralyzed
Ten feet might as well be a mile
And a mile might as well be eternity
Let’s call each other on the phone
Whisper how much we’re alone
And pretend that a voice can make your warm inside
If you’ve got wings, you should use them
If you’ve got wings, spread them and take flight
If you’ve got wings...

Ghost & Child
02:27
|
|||
All of the women I’ve adored
Revealed themselves as feudal lords
And in a land I’ll never see
They would reveal themselves to me
Invite me in and let me know
I am a child, she’s a ghost
All of the women that I’ve loved
Came on to me from up above
And in a language I can’t speak
They wouldn’t turn the other cheek
Without the warmth of her caress
I won’t deny her paper flesh
She has no skin upon her bones
I am a child, she’s a ghost
All of the women that I trust
I’ve used for baser needs of lust
In fantasies they’ll never know
I would remove all of their clothes
Reveal myself as what I’m not:
Lothario and polyglot
I need a friend to hold my hand
To comfort me and understand
I’m no great man, I’m flesh and bone
I am a child, she’s a ghost

I Hate Vampires
03:42
|
|||
I’m despising all their eyes upon your body
Those capricious monsters need somewhere to dwell
I remember all your curves just like a monument
But I’m wondering if they all do as well
I hate vampires, in my head
I hate vampires, in your bed
They’ll feast upon your blood just like Lugosi
The biting and the scratches leave their marks
A hand upon your back will get me spitting fire and cooking garlic
They only target young and pure of heart
And you’re both
I hate vampires, in my head
I hate vampires, in your bed
GET CHER GARLIK NOW
Everybody’s out to get me!

This Voyage
03:16
|
|||
On this vessel we call our Odyssey
Don’t forget that, don’t forget that you’ll always be here with me
Through those whirlpools and other run-down ships
On my radar you’ll always be the only active blip
Across the hydrographic we’ll find drifters here and there
We’ll pick them up, party it up, and help them without a care
The grief of goodbyes will only be short-term
Cuz there’ll be more new friends out there
And that I can confirm! I can confirm...
So please don’t drift away
No, please don’t drift away
This voyage is a lifetime where you and I just kill time
And make it the absolutely best
Better than the rest of everyone out on this sea
It’s perfect that it’s only you and me
On this course that we call our own journey
There will be some, there will be some rough waters in the sea
They will breeze by, just listen to my voice
Don’t be scared, it’s all over, now we can rejoice!
We can party every second and have the best of times
Living to the max, damn it’s so divine
With no worries and no need for a cure
There will be no more sorrow
And that I can assure! I can assure
So please don’t drift away
No, please don’t drift away
I see you walking, please step up: start talking
And take my hand
We’ll get through anything that’s out there
Let’s take a stand!

I'll Replace You
04:49
|
|||
I don’t know, I don’t know just what to do
But I think, but I think I’m eying you
And I think that you think I think you’re easy
Yes, I do.
Maybe we, maybe we could take a turn
Grab a match, light a fire, let’s watch this burn
We could be you and me:
Something un-special
I don’t think I like, I don’t like your attitude
The way you sound so rude
And I don’t want to feel I’m trapped in a minefield again
I’ve lost another friend
I’ll replace you, soon
Who are you, who are you, are you to judge?
Who am I, who am I to hold a grudge?
I did this whole thing to myself
Don’t you know?
None to point the finger at, to blame
I’ll just let this dark lust rot away
Atrophied, it’s arrived, it is an awful disgrace
I don’t think you’re worth half of what I spent on you
I hope I hurt you, too
And I don’t think I’ll heal, I need something real again
I lost another friend
I’ll replace you, soon
I’ll replace you.

Black Hole
04:17
|
|||
In my youth, I was promised life of adventure
Played as Link, Master Chief, and I saved Spira
Got the keyblade and killed Metal Gear
But in high school I just killed time
Life goes on and you learn how to accept it
Get a job, study hard, pick a career and
Race right to the finish line
Where those promises go to die, in time
Ooooo. Oh no...
Ooooo. Oh no!
Disappointment starts to take its toll
I wasn’t born to die in a black hole
I promise you
Later on, I would learn I was no different
There’s no town waiting for a verbose redhead
To appear with a sword in hand
And a heroine at his side
But it’s really okay. It’s really okay!
I’ve learned to treasure my hourly wage
If I get killed, I can’t load up a save!
I’m not the ‘hero’ type
Ooooo. Oh no...
Ooooo. I’ll grow old
Disappointment starts to take its toll
I wasn’t born to die in a black hole
I promise you
The truth is I’m nothing, I am a coward
I don’t leave my dorm room unless I have showered
I don’t smoke or drink, I don’t go to parties
I lock my door and I stay inside
I miss when I was a child and my whole life was ahead of me
I realize I’m young, I’ll learn to have fun
But till then I will soak in misery
Disappointment starts to take its toll
I wasn’t born to live in a black hole
But I do

White Flag
03:46
|
|||
Never thought I would get you here at all
Seventeen, it was right before the fall
Ten-to-one, and I needed to run
Away from here
They said your chest was the best thing about you
It’s kind of sad, cuz I think it might have been true
I’d never met a human shell
So hollowed out
If you’re so wise, why are you so alone?
If you’re still mine, would you please just take me home?
I don’t buy you for a second, but I’d sell you for a dime
I wasn’t ready for prom night
I am so alone
White flag, white flag
Looking back, should have left you at the door
I don’t know if you could have stolen more
Oh you were hip, but I don’t give a shit
You’re also scum!
I am not a toy for your amusement
I’m a Montague and you’re a Capulet
We were doomed to die before we met
I am the patron saint of bad decisions
You’re the Lois Lane of malcontent
I’m a Guy Fawkes mask, you’re Natalie Portman
And I’m blowing up your parliament
I don’t buy you for a second, but I’d sell you anytime
Please don’t buy it, I am such a liar
I’m not telling the truth

Asuka, continued
03:46
|
|||
If I was a boxer and you were a thief
I’d follow you around till you became my belief
We’d roll in the gutters, we’d scour the sea
I’d find the cure
You would lose the battle, and I the war
If you could appear and be here in my life
You’d rape me and leave me and render me blind
Oh I’d be your victim, and you’d be my crime
So self-assured
You have cost me friends, I give my word
In my dreams there’s a house in the country, and
You wait with a child
You're lovelier than I could have hoped
Bliss is chosen, time is frozen tonight
I spread my wings and take flight
When the morning arrives I can’t get to my feet
I wallow in visions of idolatry
I cover my head and I pray for more sleep
But the night is gone
I waste away until the setting sun
I’ll play your puppet, my favorite part
I’ll memorize lines till I know them by heart
When Asuka strikes, she will tear you apart
Limb from limb
I’m shocked to find my heart is paper thin
In my mind there’s a house in the country, and
You wait with a smile
Your beauty is beyond belief
Love is chosen, we lie softly entwined
But it will not last this time
You deserve to discover where you can be happy
Spread your wings and fly away free
Find some arms that will hold you close for me
You’re only a dream, but sad as it seems
Your emptiness makes my heart die
I need to escape, to abandon this place
Need reality, not your blue eyes
Consider this a victory! Raise your flag up high!
Asuka, my friend, this is goodbye.

No, no no no! I cannot do a thing!
My tongue has thickened up and I am frozen
I knew I wasn't meant for greater things
There's no place for me among the chosen
You must win this fight for all mankind
Don't you know it's true?
You must win this fight and save our lives
We believe in you
I don't want to be a man!
Get somebody else, I know I'm failing
I will never be a man
Shinji Ikari, you're not alone
Nonononononoenonononono! I've ruined everything!
My EVA has locked up and I am dying alone
Oh my god, just keep everyone away
Save yourselves - I will go down trying!
You must win this fight for all mankind
Don't you know you're home?
You must win this fight and save our lives
You are (not) alone!!
I don't want to be a man!
Just get somebody else, I know I'm failing
I will never be a man
I couldn't save anyone, it's the end of the world
It's the end of the world.
Everybody dies alone
Sooner or later there's no running
You are (not) alone
I must not run away.

Hey, you got a second, can we talk for a few?
There's nothing in my heart that I wouldn't give to you
Ask me any question and I swear I'll tell the truth
Until the night is over, I belong to you
Let's lie on a blanket and stare up into the night sky
I'll wrap it around you and lend you a shoulder to cry
We can't change the future, but girl we can try!
Wipe your liquid eyes, bite your lip, and be cool with it
I'm not the person I wanted to be
Life can be so cruel, but I'm leaving here for school
In Calgary
Come with me a while and we'll cut our summerteeth
Out in my back yard, underneath the willow tree
I will hold your arm and you will rest upon my knee
We'll hide out in the shadows from our looming destiny
Let's find an empty park and escape from your crew
I'm running out of moments I have left to spend with you
I want to feel the fire, but I just feel aloof
I'm terrified and edgy and I'm lashing out at you
Oh my god, can't even look in your eyes
I don't know if we can last, but we'll try
You can visit sometime...
Wipe your liquid eyes, bite your lip, say you're cool with it
I'm not the person I wanted to be
Life can be so hard, so I'm leaving in a car
For Calgary
Wipe your molten eyes, make a fist and be cruel with it
Toss your red hair as I drown in the sea
You will have my heart, but I need to make a start
In Calgary

Here he comes the man with my
Ex-number one - the one that got away
I need to run, I need to hide before they will
Jump the gun, devour me whole
I need someone new, before I sink into the bathroom
I need someone new...
Why don't you just say what we both were thinking yesterday?
I will feel okay, at least until you look the other way
I'll feel stung and I'll feel bitter until my dying day
I can't make you stay, when I know you're leaving anyway
I'm not here to bargain, I'm here to argue
Am I under your skin like you're under mine?
I want to see your smile smashed across the floor
I want to taste your blood and feel your rancor
Issac, Issac, Issac use your cutter!
Remove this burden I still shoulder
The pain won't dissipate
Issac, Issac, Issac use your cutter now

It's lonely at the top, I am sure to drop
I've got my finger on the trigger, but I just. Won't. Stop.
I'm tired of your zoetrope financial schemes
Just let your fiscal earning die with my broken dreams
My last five solid evenings were a bender//flight
Don't you dare lecture me about what you think's wrong or right
To die as such a superpower seems obscene to me.
I'm not done questioning your motives here
What did you think would get us out of this mirage, my dear?
Our glory days were long ago, don't hearken back
You were in colour guard and I would watch you from the track
I've lost the spark, I never want to try again
Just change your Facebook status, say you're interested in "Men"
To dwell upon it all just seems obscene to me...
2.
I've spent a lot of time disappointed
I've spent a lot of time punishing myself for things I'd already done
When did I get so old? Why do I feel so cold?
I need to find some piece of mind in my satellite heart.
3.
Hold me, hold me!
I need just one more time inside of what was mine
Before I let it slip away
I need to be told we'll be better off alone
Before we go our separate ways
I will despise you inside of a month
I will regret you given time
But for now I need a bed, and a place to rest my head
Oh, I don't hate you all the time.
Part of you will remain mine
You will always have these years of my life.
4.
I'll find someone who's meant for me
I'll rest my head upon her knee
And in the darkness she will breathe "You're mine."
We'll race along the old back roads,
We'll never dream of going home
I honestly won't care about the time.
I'll cut with her my summerteeth
In hammocks under willow trees
Where I played with the twins when we were nine
I'll show her everything I've got
She'll learn to love what I am not
We'll build ourselves a tower and live safe inside
Oh, we were a superpower,
And this is our darkest hour
But from all the darkness will come light
I'll learn to sleep when I'm alone
And come back to an empty home
Honestly, you were dear to me
But life goes on.
I promise.

We were to be married in February
Now I'm feeling wary if I'll even live through this night
If I was your left, you were my right
(To have and to hold)
I feel old, and cold, and weak and gray
Long black shadows on a summer's day
If I was your rock, you were my waves.
And oh! How we'd crash together.
Jason! Jason, when will you come home?
Don't you know I hate when I'm alone
I'll wash the laundry, I'll cook in your stead
But I'll still sleep in half a bed
And then there were four.
When there wasn't any other I'd have my brother
We'd play forever in the deep, red autumn of our youth
If I told a lie, he'd spurn the truth
(Even when it was so)
I feel alone and lost and so betrayed
Long black shadows on a summer's day
From two siblings down to one, I am afraid
What can one do?
Jason! Jason, when will you come home?
Don't you know I hate sleeping alone
I'll be your Lily, I will wait and wait
I'd give my life for you to stay
And now there are four.
|
||||
23. |
|
|||
I've tried to leave
But your velvet kiss surrounds me
And I feel I'm coming home
We'll talk right here
When I see you in the new year
Will your hair have grown long?
If I wait will you come back to me?
