She sits up high surrounded by the sun
One million branches and she loves every one
“Mom and dad, did you search for me?
I’ve been up here so long I’m going crazy”
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
I heard the train shake the windows
You screamed over the sound
And as we own this night
I put your body to the test with mine
This love was out of control
3-2-1 where did it go?
Now don’t be crazy
Yes now of course you can stay here.
Been in a touring band for going on ten years.
“Big deal,” she said, “I guess you’re official”
I only said it ‘cause I know what it’s like to feel
Burned out
It gets you down,
We’ve all been there sometimes
But tonight I’ll make you feel beautiful once again
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
I heard the train shake the windows
You screamed over the sound
And as we own this night
I put your body to the test with mine
This love was out of control
3-2-1 where did it go?
If I were you, I’d put that away
See, you’re just wasted
And thinking about the past again
Darling you’ll be okay
And she said,
[Lindsey:]
“If you were me, you’d do the same
‘Cause I can’t take anymore
I’ll draw the shades and close the door
Everything’s not alright and I would rather…”
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
I heard the train shake the windows
You screamed over the sound
And as we own this night
I put your body to the test with mine
This love was out of control
Tell me where did it go?
Get up!
And here we go…
Now listen up I’ll say a thing or two,
I bet I know something about you,
That you don’t even know,
You don’t wanna believe,
I know you’re down for anything.
That’s not what you’re looking for,
There’s not a reason to walk out that door,
And I don’t even want you to sing,
I just want you to jump with me.
(I’m so complicated)
My body’s failing,
I think I’ve hit the floor,
I cannot feel anything anymore.
My body’s failing,
I think I’ve hit the floor,
I can’t remember anything anymore.
And I’m gonna miss your face for a long long time (for a long, long time)
And I can’t escape this place, it’s in my mind (‘cause it’s in my mind)
And now that you don’t even care,
I’ve got you inside the palm of my hand.
You don’t really wanna get inside my head,
Let’s leave out all our skeletons.
The dead just like you will rise,
So come on lift your voices towards the sky,
Now I want you to jump, now I want you to sing,
Now I want you to scream with me…
I’ve been put down for way too long,
You’ll never be good enough.
All they told me was “Just give up”,
You’ll never be good enough.
I’ve been put down for way too long,
You’ll never be good enough.
All they told me was “Just give up”,
You’ll never be good enough, never be good enough
Pushing me, and pushing me,
Shut up.
Shut up.
I’m gonna miss your face,
I’m gonna miss your taste,
I’m gonna miss your face,
It’s in my mind…
I’m gonna miss your face,
I’m gonna miss your taste,
I’m gonna miss your face,
It’s all in my mind…
My body’s failing,
I think I’ve hit the floor,
I cannot feel anything anymore.
My body’s failing,
I think I’ve hit the floor,
I can’t remember anything anymore.
“Paint You Wings”
When will the princess figure out she ain’t worth saving
Heavy the head that bears the crown
Of my mistaken apathy for sympathy
I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there’s a monster standing where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings (I’ll paint you wings)
Now I’ll set you free (I’ll set you free)
I was a pawn in all of your plans, you kept me busy
Locked behind your chamber doors when you felt frisky
Until you got sick of me
I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there’s a monster standing where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings (I’ll paint you wings)
Now I’ll set you free (I’ll set you free)
When will the princess figure it out, she ain’t worth saving
And when will the world get over all her misbehaving
Will we ever learn?
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there’s a monster standing where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings (I”l paint you wings)
Now I’ll set you free (I’ll set you free)
(So she can fly away)
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there’s a monster standing where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings (I’ll paint you wings)
Now I’ll set you free (I’ll set you free)
(So you can fly away)
Freeze!
It’s time to take you home,
it feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door.
Now our lips are numb!
As we walk, sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer.
I hope you like the stars I stole for you,
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue.
I’ll be the brightest someday!
I’ll be the brightest someday!
I’ll be the brightest, you’ll see!
Don’t rain on my parade, it’s gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can’t keep warm.
Don’t ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun.
Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky,
we bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways.
And I ask myself, why do I still pray?
When will it end? And who fucking cares?
I swear to God I did what I could.
I practically begged you, I pretended everything was fine.
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare.
I’d rather be dead.
Don’t rain on my parade, it’s gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can’t keep warm.
Don’t ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head.
I’ll bet you money as you’re running to the bathroom,
you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you.
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea.
I guess I never should have loved you,
but I do forever ‘cause you loved me.
And I break my glasses as I fall in the street!
If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me?
Now it’s all over my tongue and still it has no taste,
‘cause without you there is no me.
There’s no me at all.
Sometimes love dies like a dog.
(Why don’t we just let this one take care of itself?)
Don’t rain on my parade, it’s gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can’t keep warm.
Don’t ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon dreams…
Don’t rain on my parade.
I’m losing a perfect thing, a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
Self medicate
While they sleep, we let the night chase
Evil things away
And we’re like animals homesick from shows
We gotta kill everything before the night gets wasted
Maybe it seems so strange
But we don’t even stress at all
‘Cause we’ve got poisons in our well…
(Poisions in our well)
Come at me with everything you’ve got.
Burst into flames, scream in the dark
I’m gonna light up this place
And die in beautiful stars tonight
Does it even make a difference?
When I’m sober, I feel pain
‘Cause we run under the stars through cemetery backyards,
Celebrate the way the night hides scars.
So dance!
If it moves you
Jump in the fire
If it burns you
I’ll throw my arms around you darling
And we’ll turn to ashes drown me in the flames
Burst into flames, scream in the dark!
I’m gonna light up this place and die in beautiful stars!
But if these demons keep falling from the sky
It’s alright
‘Cause sometimes I love the way you swing the blade at everything in sight!
Separate me from my own two hands, I’ve killed so many times,
But I can’t save the world from the creatures that don’t die.
I kinda like the way you tell me, “Baby, please come home,
I need you here right now,
I’m crying underwater so you don’t hear the sound.”
Burst into flames (What do you do when you’re out of time?)
Scream in the dark (Where do you go when they’re right outside?)
I’m gonna light up this place (And how do you scream when there’s no one left around?)
And I will be the only light
I’ll be the only light
You’re my favorite explosion.
(You know the only real way to cure pain is to add a little more,
because everything new distracts the old.)
A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no words.
A drowning boy with no voice prays someone up there’s telling me,
You’d better not get back up!
I spit my heart into this red cup.
I’d better pick it back up, it might ruin your night.
And she said,
“Baby, leave the water by the bed for later,
and I woke up without a single drop.
I told myself I’m tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied if all you have is not enough.
(True love comes from more than just the heart)
She said paint a picture on me,
throw your dress up and your heart away.
Yeah, I heard what you said.
A friend of a friend, these strangers at the party never paid.
And if that doesn’t turn you on.
I’ll keep talking till something does.
As we’re covered in sand, you roll over and smile.
I told myself I’m tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied it’s all you have.
And until that day,
I’ll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.
Red rose of the dead.
How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside her head?
So say it, say I’m in love, cause you called me
crying from your job, said you just got fired.
And you don’t have a backup plan,
so don’t expect me to understand.
(A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold, she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco)
Yeah!
We all breakdown.
Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends,
but they were there from beginning to end.
I’m tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied it’s all you have.
You know I’ve never held a gun in my life,
but now I carry one around in case I see you tonight.
Bedroom walls.
Oh, these bedroom walls.
Oh, I hate what it tastes like.
