EVERYBODY LOVES ME

God love all the people that have warned you
God love all your sentimental virtue
Eight balls with the takers that'll make you
Lay cards with the lovers that'll hate you

Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good I might die
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is everybody loves me

JESUS DOESN'T LOVE ME

Drugs, sex, rock and roll

Wash me, god, I wanna get this off me
If you wanna love me, scrub me
Say a little prayer for me, pray for me

Got a little bit of dirty down in my soul
Jesus doesn't love me anymore
Sinning for a living's really taking its toll
Jesus doesn't love me anymore

MIRRORS

Aren't you something to admire 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely a sample
And I can't help but stare, 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time

BENEATH YOUR BEAUTIFUL

You've carried on so long,
You couldn't stop if you tried it.
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it,
But I'm gonna try.

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

NITESKY

No one knows what it's like
You and me, you and I
Underneath the night sky
You and me, you and I

I get lost all the time
In my thoughts, in my mind
You come through like a light
In the dark, give me sight

If you let my soul out
It will come right back to you

I will come right back to you

LIKE WE'RE GONNA DIE YOUNG

Young hearts, out our minds
Runnin' like we outta time
Wild childs, lookin' good
Livin' hard just like we should
Don't care whose watching when we tearing it up
That magic that we got nobody can touch

Looking for some trouble tonight
Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side
Like it's the last night of our lives
We'll keep dancing till we die

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
But while you're here in my arms let's make the most of the night
Like we're gonna die young

DRUMMING SONG

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

THIS NIGHT

There are things I have done
There's a place I have gone
There's a beast and I let it run
Now it's running my way

There are things I regret
That you can't forgive, you can't forget
There's a gift that you sent
You sent it my way

There's a game that I played
There are rules I had to break
There's mistakes that I made
But I made 'em my way

So, take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So, take this night
Lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace

CHERRY TREE

Take us down and all apart
Cherry Tree
Lay us out on the table

You're sharp alright

But no one is asking so leave it alone
Leave it alone
Can we

Loose lips sink ships

Don't look at me
I'm only breathing
Don't look at me I'm indiscreet

Can we show a little discipline?

HEAVEN KNOWS

I've had better days, man
I've seen better days
I've had better ways, man
I know better ways

One, two, three and four
The devil's knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man's lie
Show you life with your head held high
Now you're on your knees
With your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell 'em it's good
Tell 'em okay
Don't do a goddamn thing they say

Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

FLAWS

You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up; let's finish what we've started
Dig them up, so nothing's left unturned

All of your flaws and all of my flaws,
When they have been exhumed
We'll see that we need them to be who we are
Without them we'd be doomed

There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it, I can't fill it
There's a hole in my soul
Can you fill it? Can you fill it?

DESIRE

Baby, I wanna touch you
I wanna breathe into your will
See, I gotta hunt you
I gotta bring you to my hell
Baby, I wanna fuck you,
I wanna feel you in my bones
Boy, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna tear into your soul

Honey, I wanna break you
I wanna throw you to the hounds,
I gotta hurt you,
I gotta hear it from your mouth
Boy, I wanna taste you,
I wanna skin you with my tongue
I'm gonna kill you,
I'm gonna lay you in the ground

How do you want me?

Edited Date: 2017-08-27 03:34 am (UTC)

SET FREE

there's a cold fire
there's a cross fire
and there's something inside
there's a long game
that's a wrong chain
and it's something we all hide inside

and you got style
and you got grace
and you got the means to leave that place
but you'll never, never make it
and you'll never, never break it

until you learn to see
until you set free

CHANDELIER

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down

I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink

Throw 'em back 'til I lose count

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

IT'S HARD TO SAY "I DO" WHEN I DON'T

I speak fast and I'm not gonna repeat myself, no
So listen carefully to every word I say:
I'm the only one who's gonna get away with making excuses today

You're appealing to emotions that I simply do not have
Blackmailed myself 'cause I ain't got anyone else
This is a stick up - give us all your inspiration
I've got the red carpet blues baby

So put your hands in the air and don't make a sound
But don't get the wrong idea
We're gonna shoot you
We're gonna shoot you
And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet
That could change just how this goes, no:
We're gonna shoot you

Everybody shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat

YOUTH

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth:
That one will die before he gets there

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.

And you caused it.

TILL IT'S GONE

I'm not the table you can come and lay your cup down on, now
I'm not the shoulder for a bag, the one that carried a heavy load
I'm not the road that you take when you looking for a shortcut
I ain't the stepping stone to be stepping on
I ain't nobody's crutch
I ain't the money man with your money, man
You ain't looking at me
I'm not the cheap one, looking at me son
You ain't looking at free
I ain't the dish rag to come clean up all the shit that you dish out

Ain't much I can do but I do what I can
But I'm not a fool there's no need to pretend
And just because you got yourself in some shit
It doesn't mean I have to come deal with it
You handle your own when you become a man
And become a man when you handle your own
Ain't much I can do, but I do what I can
But what can I do if I do till it's gone?

What can I do if I do till it's gone?

YOU KNOW I'M NO GOOD

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

ALBATROSS

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck
You got a hundred broken lock bolts above your head
They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet
'Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb,
And then you see red.

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed
And you got a hungry green-eyed monster that you keep fed
And it keeps on coming over, it wants you dead

You said you're scared of the clocks that keep ticking over
I'll find a way through a life that we're living over
Again and again through a life that we're living over, again and again

HALLELUJAH

I was drunk and it didn't mean a thing
Stop thinking about
The bullets from my mouth
I love the things you hate about yourself
Just finished a daydream
Who were you tryna be?

Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it

No one wants you when you have no heart and
I'm sitting pretty in my brand new scars and
You'll never know if you don't ever try again
So let's try

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah
Show praise with your body, stand up, sing hallelujah
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya
Hallelujah, say your prayers

HEAVY IN YOUR ARMS

I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown

And is it worth the wait
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?

My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
So heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart

I was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground

VOLCANO

Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down

What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask what I give to you

I kissed your mouth
You do not need me

"Fucking humans, you don't know how good you have it."

"Fucking humans?" he laughs, the sound breathy and soft in the darkness. "Tell me what we have?"

The answer is, from a transgenic point of view, myriad. Names. Birth certificates. Rights. Choices. Families that other families will recognize, homes, jobs, identities that they built. Pasttimes and dreams and grave markers.

What Alec struggles with most isn't so concisely explained though, and he sits up at the laugh, looks calmly through darkness as bright as early morning light to his feline augmented eyes.

"Each other," is the answer that comes out, dull.
