I’m always there Barking at you when regrets point of view is care Hell accepts me Hell told me not to look after you It’s true Hell accepts me

This is all that I think about All that I think of is the meaning Reconnect and talk about it My arms fell off I dreamed about it It’s all that I dream about All that I see is teeth in my hands I’m sitting in the car in the backseat Looking through the glass and it cut me I think I’m gonna write a book About how long it took for you to get back to me That’s a familiar feeling Hands on the glass Waiting for the impact It’s a feeling Don’t say my name unless you mean it In that case I don’t want to hear it Impending doom called symbolica Je partirai, je sais que tu m’attends I think I’m gonna write this down I can’t stop thinking about when we were children I thought I saw God for a minute J’irai par la forêt, j’irai par la montagne I had a thought for no ones but your ears That you were beautiful and that I strove to Love you in the old high way of love That it had all seemed happy and yet we’d grown as weary as that hollow moon Symbolica I think I feel for you from the start You can fall in love so very hard But we’ve taken things just way too far I can’t stop working it out I can’t stop thinking about you But you put me in my place too many times You put me in my place too many times You put me in my place too many times You put me in my place too many times I think I’m gonna write a book About how long it took for you to get back to me That’s a familiar feeling Hands on the glass Waiting for the impact It’s a feeling Don’t say my name unless you mean it In that case I don’t want to hear it Impending doom called symbolica Je partirai, je sais que tu m’attends I think I’m gonna write this down I can’t stop thinking about when we were children I thought I saw God for a minute J’irai par la forêt, j’irai par la montagne

Don’t fuck with me That ain’t no type of apology I see the way you been looking at me So tell me what do you think you see I see fucking ghosts in the middle of the road Don’t know where they’re trying to go They’re just walking back and forth I think they’re looking for me No justice for the wicked No mercy for the reverent The magic number is seven Our demons fell out of heaven It’s all so systematic Symbolic and automatic Don’t compensate for the panic Because hell is here on the planet It’s coming for me I think it’s coming for me I think it’s coming for me Just you and me now The devil doesn’t lie Let’s give hell a try And find out what we’ve been missing I finally got a message I’m at the end of my rope Gonna become a ghost when I’m living We should take a ride to the other side And see what we find together It’s just you and me now I can’t do it alone Trying to build a home together Dancing in the fire I just never had it figured out so well Im a child somewhere inside The sun stopped rising ’Til we were friends Im in hell and you can Bring all your friends They say “you look so well” We’ll all burn in the end It’s all good with me Burn with me We’ll share everything There’s no problem with me and you getting burned Because we’re dancing in the fire I just never had it figured out so well I’m a liar Somewhere inside The sun stopped rising

Forest Fire 03:08
lyrics

When the sun stops rising in the east I will be there Looking out for myself Desperately hoping it’s not too late to love you Flower petals speak to me Grow in my hair and preach to me Remind me of the little things that come and go and help us change Target’s now almost in range Someone told me change is painful Well now I think that’s just okay Phone me up a different day and we’ll see what we can do Today I bring this offering A cage My body Setting oak against the pine The forest works together in the fire Bringing us together Rising to the summer air I was talking to her at the party Don’t remember but that’s what you told me When I woke up sober in the morning Called you in the car That shit will haunt me I fucked up pretty bad and babe I’m sorry I still remember when you hung up on me I’d do the same thing I’d do the same thing This isn’t like me is it Fuck you Jonny I became a ghost and I did nothing Why didn’t I listen to the warning He’ll visit again if I do nothing I burned up I burned up

Body 03:29
lyrics

Ghosts all need to change but some never do I remember a different version of you (And now it’s up to you) There’s consequences for what you do And I know you I know you Do you? This is the body you live in Feel like you’re missing the mission Boy what are you gonna do Telling the truth is so hard to do When you act like this Where’s the savior? Did he ditch? Where’s the friend? Did he switch? Started calling life a bitch Drugs can’t save you but you take ‘em I wanna roll again You started to call me your friend But you lied so I have to go I have to go You lied so I have to go I have to go Constant Unfailing eye See memories come knocking And I’ll let you in I’ll let you in All of this is just another constant impulse Just another lonely evening Just another broken promise Standing at my door Allah Ghosts in my head take control of my mind Start to call me a friend but I still can’t find the house They always seem to find me out Ghosts of the old me I’ve been trying to cast him out But I haven’t found out how to get rid of him Used to be my friend This is how we end As enemies Setting fire to the curtains This was never worth it Nothing ends perfectly Nothing left to do but burn it My life has a purpose You can’t tell me differently

Demon Boys 04:33
lyrics

Why do I never feel sure? Skin crawling under my shirt I need a minute There’s a ghost inside of me and I’m trying to get him out of my head Look what you’ve done Look what you’ve done Why do I never feel sure? Skin crawling under my shirt I need a minute I can’t get no sleep but he can’t bother me when he’s dead I’m a paranoid actor You’re the missing factor The arrogant, fatal, dominant X Trying to express this amidst the chatter The motive for my metaphor is kicking in your fucking door And getting my checks I got my hand on your neck Who are you imitating for? Bitch I’m the next dominant actor You never ask for anything when I’m at the back door Looking in I won’t pretend that I’m just here to talk I got the knife in my hands And I’m ready to chop Too late to make amends I need the madness to stop It’s too late to be friends I thought that you were the top of my list We won’t ever get it back but we’re coming around You see the top of our heads pressed into the ground We keep spinning on and on Don’t care if it’s wrong We’re the demon boys and we’re never alone

Talking 01:14
lyrics

Everything is hard when you don’t talk about it Thinking of you on your own I told you that I was all about it But I I was only 13 years old Everything makes sense when you talk about it That was what I always thought But anything can be a problem Anything can bring you down

Aliens 04:05
lyrics

People don’t change until they have to Look each other in the eyes We’re a bad crew But the reason we’re alive lies in between the thighs God only tells a lie when he has to Welcome back to the planet This shit is automatic Mother fuckers gotta have it like it’s cocaine I see the cross on your head Spread your legs in the woods Coming out of the womb With a whole lot of money and a satan tattoo You feel like a ghost Well I feel like that too I cut a flower for you And I burned it with a match We’re all just chasing a feeling Don’t know what we need Only take what we see Can’t even bleed anymore We’ve become the machine inside the ghost Lying on the moon Feeling the dust beneath my skin My skin is a spacesuit Everything I need to retain this demeanor up here When I’m up in the air I forget that I care And flowers grow in my hair I can breathe with no oxygen

Table II 02:38
lyrics

These two been up all night This feeling feeling fatal Resurrect their bodies here and lie down on the table Staring at the ceiling fan She’s reached another level Now she wanna conversate with the furniture forever Don’t talk to me I’m in the fan now seeing double Man you got me fucked up homie She don’t want no trouble Why you tryna act like that for nothing She don’t like you You’re just trying to piss me off and I don’t want to fight you I’m not a fly on the wall anymore From the wall to the bed Put his head on the floor She got upset when he walked out the door Begging him “come back and give me some more” I’m not involved here I swear I’m not involved here I don’t want no problems I don’t want to be a problem Is it already over? Friend Don’t leave so soon Let’s go Talk slowly I can be the type you feel lonely Never again Never again Blue bone I feel inside Bizarre creatures possess me As I’m able You can’t sleep on the table

Dreams 01:51
lyrics

Don’t wake us The people in our dreams are famous Stop acting like I fucking owe you one I wake up to look at the setting sun Sleepless nights in the sheets Just hope to get a message from Jesus My grandfather told me to give my son The name of my father so he lives on These visions are starting to be a problem Technology constantly evolving Stop haunting me Stop running from God Good morning love Look through the blinds comes the sunlight Open your eyes You slept so well last night Baby what you talking about Would you please just lie back down Its just a dream and your freaking me out Wake up and look around It’s just you and me now Well I’m glad that you’re my best friend Because when I sleep I’m in the deep end I want these dreams to end Because you’re not in them Remember back when we were 18 Making out in the back seat I think I fell asleep I should have told you then I think I’m haunted And I can’t stop it Got too much on my mind I’m just trying to find The house you built for me

Daddy's Song 02:37
lyrics

Growing up was different for you Had a son he’s bitter toward you Daddy’s gone Not easy for you I get that because I adore you too And mamma’s always been there for us You and I both learned to trust When she held us at night Were more alike than I thought we were when I was still 18 And now I think about it Now I think about it all the time Every morning I get up and go to work And I’m thinking about you I can’t wait till you can talk so you and I can get to know each other Your mother and I are gonna move you to Chicago So you never have to worry about the money I’ve been working so hard I know I come and go One day you’ll see that everything I did was for you and your sister I’m on a plane to D.C. and God I miss her Daddy didn’t treat me too well I never want her to say that Daddy’s not doing so well I’m scared that he won’t make it I think he might go to hell Don’t know if I could take it I’m only a man It’s alright

Don't Break Your Leg 02:49
lyrics

Slow bliss You always need a little bit of time for this You can’t get it done on your own so Pour yourself another glass of wine and dance Don’t mind the heat It’ll be alright Don’t mind the smoke It’ll be just fine Climb down carefully now There’s more than one way out And you’re better off taking your time then tumbling down to the ground And breaking your leg like I broke mine Don’t miss it dear We’ve only a little time here There’s more that life has for us An old man on a bus made me realize that I’d known God And he’d been with me the whole damn time Pull me out Push me in Tie yourself to me
