10 Holy Words

We’re going to Hell
For something you said
It’s always a phrase
That’s stuck in my head
We stumble along
And wish it away
It drags like a weight
Whatever you say…
And all the way down we swore that we were flying
And all the way down we swore that we were flying
Stole 10 holy words
For someone who pays
He’ll give you a smile
You don’t feel a thing
In love with the sort
Who’s in love with a flame
A delicate breed
A sweet little thing…
And all the way down we swore that we were flying
And all the way down we swore that we were flying
10 Holy Words….

Little Reactions

Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
They’re covering up all the places you love
Echos echos from a distant sun
And locking away what you use to touch
Halos halos for the chosen one
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
They’re cutting em out just to watch them run
Day-glow lasso for the carrion
Sugar you tried with useless advice
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction
Whoa I just want a little reaction

Big House
04:44

I used to live in a big, big house
Wood on the walls and the floors
But in the desert in a one room flat
I can’t remember that house anymore
And I used to be alive
Now I just survive
What I call a life
And I use to fly
But I’m way too high
I used to believe but not anymore
I used to believe but not anymore
I used to believe but not anymore
Because that’s what the big house days were for
I used to play in a rock n roll band
Full force beauty amplified
Now I play on my couch at night
Wondering when the magic died
And this is just a state I’m in
Again and again. Again and again
And this is just the way I feel
I ain’t no big deal
I used to believe but not anymore
I used to believe but not anymore
I used to believe but not anymore not anymore
I used to believe but not anymore
I used to believe but not anymore
I used to believe but not anymore not anymore
‘Cause that’s what the big house days were for

Hotel

o I went down in a hotel room
In Tennessee when the sky was blue
And I let a cry to you
“Oh rescue me, like I’ve heard that you do”
There was no doubt I felt it fade
With the volume down
While a song just played
I was not the same when I left that day
Yeah the sky was blue when my recess came
Because I’d been sitting in the corner with my eyes bent
Calculating stories of redemption
Wondering if they really were true
Because I took alcohol for cocaine when I felt blue
And all my favorite monsters just smiled too
And said “happy ever after is not for you
You get hurricanes in the middle of the ocean”
All the cold waves like digital stop motion
Keep crashing ’til you wonder if they’ll break you in two
And all the heart freeze lying in the desert
Where the sky seems spilt in both directions
And you can’t breathe
You grow colder while you auction your youth
So I died a million little seconds on the inside
I was growing an infection
My escape plan was choking in the corner
I turned blue
And I couldn’t breathe
Oh rescue me
Oh rescue me
In a hotel room.

Wait for the rush
It’s not gonna kill you all that much
And you’re perfectly vague when we touch
You’re dressed in see through covered in blush
Close the doors and draw the blinds in this tiny world of mine
We just want a release
We don’t wanna come down now
We believe
That we’re safe in our minds now
Wait to be known
We just wanna believe it we don’t wanna be shown
And you’ve been gone way too long to ever be found
Just wanna feel like you do when you come down
Close the doors and draw the blinds in this tiny world of mine
We just want a release
We don’t wanna come down now
We believe
That we’re safe in our minds now
Covered in stars
All the fires are burning in the temple on a hill
The universe is waiting inside a broken pill
You always try and hide it but know you never will
You love it too much…being covered in stars.

Shatter
03:44

Lie to me
Tell me that you’ll always be
Waiting ’til I finally see
This moment is eternity
I’m always waking up just to watch you shatter
You always smile at me like it doesn’t matter
Steadily we pulled apart our destiny
Left stitches all around our feet
And hollow bones inside our sleeves
I’m always waking up just to watch you shatter
You always smile at me like it doesn’t matter
Tangerine
Covered by the falling leaves
We played a private mystery
Now can’t remember what it means
I’m always waking up just to watch you shatter
You always smile at me like it doesn’t matter

Director's Cut

Oh you’re sensational
You come up to breath
You’re bi-ocupational
And that’s fine with me
Are you coming all undone
Are you reaching out for more
And when they total up the sum
The damage is done
The damage is done
Well you scream like you mean it when we fight
Well it’s all just a part of the show
And you act like you mean it and we’re fine
Well it’s all just a part of the show
Oh it’s the century
Of coming apart
It’s cross elementary
And covered in hearts
Well are they coming two by two
Are they keeping back the flood
The damage is done
The damage is done
Well you scream like you mean it when we fight
Well it’s all just a part of the show
And you act like you mean it and we’re fine
Well it’s all just a part of the show
Oh you're sensational…

In Watercolor

You were broken from the start
All your watercolors bleed
And you were Jesus in my heart
After you rose up from the dead
Who comes down to mingle with the fallen kids
It comes unbound
Better grab a tourniquet
The lost and found
Super friends were losing it
It comes around
Feels just like another hit
Wait
Show us all your happy face…
(Can you wait for me?)
I know you’re waiting for something
I know it’s never around

I started living on a desert plain
The kinda life where there is no rain
And you could hear me say again and again
“This shit is pulling me in. This shit is puling me in”
I started taking what I shouldn’t take
A candy cane and a bellyache
Ah my life felt so fake
My life felt so fake
And with a code that you couldn’t break
And a word that you shouldn’t say
Cooler breezes cause the plants to sway
Into the sunlight
Into the sunlight
You talk big but you shouldn’t though
And all the words that you don’t know
Ah it’s making me heavy
Ah it’s making me heavy
When I got loose I was at full speed
And all the world fell on top of me
Pulling me under
Give up and start over
I couldn’t breath cause I took too much
A respirator and a royal flush
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over
White light it’s over

Sideways

I told you once I saw god when I was sideways
Opened up my heart and let it spill out on the highway
In the air like a super natural airplane
You know that’s just like god
To leave you guessing but never let you know
It’s leaving me sideways
You’re open today
But not for the go around
And It’s taking me
Higher and high
I’m losing my breath
You give me it back
So I’m lost but like a sheep you found me
Opened up to see that I was trying to drown me
I couldn’t tell that you were all around me
You know that’s just like you
To leave me guessing but never let me know
It’s leaving me sideways
You’re open today
But not for the go around
And It’s taking me
Higher and high
I’m losing my breath
You give me it back
I told you once I saw god when I was sideways
Opened up my heart and let it spill out on the highway
In the air like a super natural airplane
You know that’s just like god
To leave you guessing but never let you know
It’s leaving me sideways
