Bathe My Heart
03:11
|
|||
call you, begging me to call you
i'm not entertainment
mixing me into your pavement
patronize me crossly
the pictures you took were both glossy
out into the mineland
fall into my whole hand baby
bathe my bathe my heart in disappointment
both of us love the sting of the ointment
i've been trying not to follow you
we are moaning on and on and...
over it and over it
running with a hint of it
trying not to call it a sermon
be my be my excuse not to retry
this drive's got me falling and concerning
you're my cellophane
i'm your elephant
there's bones on my shoulder-blade
bones on your windowpane
but i won't open it
you wouldn't open it
sharing what we put together
calling us opponents
soaking in a mixture of displeasure and monuments.
say all this.
bathe my bathe my heart in disappointment
both of us love the sting of the ointment
i've been trying not to follow you
i've been trying not to swallow you whole

April

april was spent wasting my time
april was spent baiting the line
a weekend with my fingers frozen
and that's when i finally touched you
don't lay your judgement on me
i hear you praying for indecency
we waited to climb in
i begged you to hide my pistol in
a bone is a bone
a bone is a bone
break a few for me
i am still alone
everyone cry,
cry for what you don't know
i'm a mess of it
a pitiful clone
notice how you stain
something you can't paint
and all alone, in a minute i've grown so weak
with two dollars on my dresser
i've been to embarrassed to speak
i wanna go slow
don't lay your judgement on me
i hear you praying for indecency
we waited to climb in
you hid my pistol in
policy is all that you know

Sisters
02:46
|
|||
a golden arrangement was made
a golden arrangement was made
and it's so easy to hold on to all the promises that you made
a figure
a monster
a simple impostor
but i didn't even know you
and you didn't even know me
and we wrote the story out so both our sisters could see
and i'll let you sit me down
and i'll get in touch with my heart
i wish you didn't always have to pick me apart
i'm a pinch on your arm
i'm in too deep
i'd love to run around with fireworks going off in your sleep
you let me loose on myself
i couldn't shut you in
i'd love to say i'm leaving but i'd hate to pretend
i am just a patient
you are my replacement
why does my life always get me in this situation
(just a little time)
i'd kill to spend it with you baby
(just a little hope)
every minute loves to disobey me
(just a little patience)
i'd give it if i had it in a moment
(just a little heart)
yours is never sitting wide open
i'm a pinch on your arm
i'm in too deep
i'd love to run around with fireworks going off in your sleep
you let me loose on myself
i couldn't shut you in
i'd love to say i'm leaving but i'd hate to pretend
i am just a patient
you are my replacement
why does my life always get me in this situation
i just wanna know you
get a little hold of you
this isn't over

Basement Stars
02:43
|
|||
three magnet hearts
i wanted you to
two basement stars
i wanted you to
cut me out
i'd like to feed my children someday
oh my god we belong inside
my pretention and my belt-loop have been for a ride
i wanna know who you sit into
oh who did you feed my dinner to?
when i'm looking for a place to settle down
my impossible front puts a hurt on this town
i set my sights on where i'll be
you'd understand my eyes if you could
i wanna clip the cord
your eyes won't leave the gun
i think i found my way
to point an arrow towards the sun
with every green mistake
you're elevating my mercury
who's heart is bound to break
when all's at stakes a memory?
oh my god we belong inside
my pretention and my belt-loop have been for a ride
i wanna know who you sit into
oh who did you feed my dinner to?
when i'm looking for a place to settle down
my impossible front puts a hurt on this town
i set my sights on where i'll be
you'd understand my eyes if you could
my lips lost every bit of scope
with all the pointless soothing verse they wrote
for you

Pill-Sized
02:55
|
|||
open wide
now that my body is pill-sized
rode this wind like a zeppelin did
are you truly surprised?
babe i looked you over
i picked your cover over
my lover didn't want to understand
i'm in the business of zoning
your acrobats are groaning
your salty words flew over my shoulder
everybody wants what they can't have
i want everything
he reminds me of the day i turned you in
everybody wants what they can't have
i want everything, everything
i took a turn i know i'm sorry
i took a turn
with just a wrinkle my heart is a burden
the moonlight is simple we'll darn all the curtains
bittersweet needle in the bone
tell me all your favorite words
and in the summer you'll be gone
oh i moved too soon
stems and leaves thrown on the sidewalk
i would say that i was a gardener
but regret is a personal fault
regret is a personal fault
regret is a personal fault
regret is a personal fault
with just a wrinkle my heart is a burden
the moonlight is simple we'll darn all the curtains

Trivial Honesty
02:28
|
|||
so many days are spent
pacing away to me
oh it's an accident?
trivial honesty
lay your pulses on the road
lay your wisdom on the road
split the difference darling
stack promises two by two
may i keep this thing away from you?
green
the hall
my original weekend
the order was tall
the closets were speaking
i bend under the weight of all this fate and paint my face
my heart is dead
oh split the difference darling
stack promises two by two
may i keep this thing away from you?
i feel so jaded
i feel so jaded
i feel so wasted
i'm much older, i'm so much older
by the way i brought you into this (x3)
by the way i brought you inside.

Toothache
02:35
|
|||
oh my interest
oh my loveless curiosity
oh my toothache
oh my basement
what they mean to me
all signs said that i'd been busted
my circle was tired and rusted
i was hoping for at least an argument
my sentimental hand has
fought with my chains
and got right to the heart of it
maybe this was meant for me
i ate the silver lining off
i didn't always need you
both times i was overwhelmed
both hands made room for me
the new spirit of place not body
was my anniversary
so i'll blink slowly so i don't notice
i fought with your handprints
and got right to the heart of it
maybe this was meant for me
i cut the silver lining off
i didn't always love you
i drink tears and i get right to the heart of it
maybe this was meant for me
i ripped the silver lining off
i didn't always...
i split quick and that was only two days
a small drink to make sense of the thruway
my tomorrow is rarely a new day
i run it off

Golden
03:11
|
|

i sat down in the dirt i was born again
with a pain in my back
recieved and sent
a sharp reminder of my favorite approach
he spat in your face and he expected a note
he was a golden boy
i was a problem child
the blood of god is staining my hands
can we sit and cry a while?
i beg for position like a broken seam
a perminant argument for another man's dream
i bit down and tasted myself deep in you
with steel in my teeth i look to the sky and said:
if this is free then i won't take it
my forgiving tongue remember when i made it
with my broken heart i said i'd look over you
how numb are we?
how numb are you?
blinking lids on hollow faces
saw this empty situation
this misconception we painted
on a postcard simple and naked
i'm the savior that betrayed you
i'm your maker
i display you.
if this is free then i don't need it
you shook your head
i gave you someone to bleed with
you promised every breath i took that i'd look over you
a subtle smile that i never had
a bleeding heart that i never had
i owe nothing to you
i only suffered with you
if this is free then i won't take it
my forgiving tongue remember when i made it
with my broken heart in hand i look over you
over myself
if i'm free then you won't take me
how impossible do you have to make me?
with my broken heart in hand
you look over me
over yourself

The Morning
03:08
|
|||
the morning was a ball of fire
extinguished by the leaking moon
the morning was beautiful
just like the bodies laying out in the yard
i know what we put our faith into
yeah i really knew
and so do you
and i've grown into a dutiful lying man
and i think it through and so do you
who am i attempting to lose
when i walk into the fog?
god forbid i'd have seen it
cause i did it for myself
bought into the promise
and i did it for myself
satan lift me up
cause i did it for myself
rip up the bone and put it on my shelf
and i hardly know
with this abated article
and i understand that i've been your man
for way too long
for way too long.
blinking eye,
crucify me with nervous lullabies
punish me violently
free my broken family
god forbid i'd have seen it
cause i did it for myself
bought into the promise
and i did it for myself
satan lift me up
cause i did it for myself
ripped up the bone and put it on my shelf
my split bottom lip
(i put it on my shelf)
a statue of my father
(i put it on my shelf)
my woman's bottom dollar
(i put it on my shelf)

River
02:54
|
|||
the river of regret would recently flood
i have to admit it didn't do me no good
i'm coping slowly
with all my options
i won't let you walk away
i guess that i'll just stay
i have enabled
200,000 people
to see.
to see me.
you won't you won't you won't you won't you hold me?
i didn't mean what i said.
you can't you can't you can't you help me?
i'll never understand
no girl i won't be
the best thing you always dreamed of
to slip the final weight is a death grip
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/arctic-death-lyrics/river-lyrics.html]
it's your life force
and it's in a minute
with all my options
i won't let you go away
oh please
with all my options
i won't let you float away
please, please stay
you won't you won't you won't you won't you hold me?
i didn't mean what i said.
you can't you can't you can't you help me?
help me to understand
with all my options
i won't let you go away
you're my breath
you're the emptiness
you're the only thing left
you peel me
you.

One Throat To Choke
01:49
|
|||
pity's a frozen bed
pity's an arrowhead
pity is what threw me to your side
i loved you conditionally
exceptions like sodomy
i don't know where fairness lays it's head
burning scars along my face
i should have sent him on his way
i loved you like i love myself
a dusty gap left on my shelf
when slipping eyes perch on my head
i know my inspiration's dead
we're classified but we're simply broke
and luckily we just have
one throat to choke
