You called it love after the first kiss
I close my eyes, take another swig
As the candle burns down to the wick
In the dark, your shadow self emerges
How does it feel for you
Tell yourself the truth
Does it feel good for you to trample on my white flag?
You call it security, I call it a crime
You lock them up til the end of time
Metal cages, dark and damp
Modern day concentration camp
How does it feel for you
Tell yourself the truth
Does it feel good for you to trample on my white flag?
How does it feel for you
Tell yourself the truth
Does it feel good for you to trample on my white flag?
Thank you for the things you said, thank you for the light you shed
Trade bodies trading bodies
Took what was once pure, tarnished, muddied, spoiled
Your defectiveness is oppressive
Your defectiveness is suffocating
Your defectiveness is liberating
Trade bodies trading bodies
Shadows beneath shadows

Fake Gold

A brightness to believe in
The reason you keep leaving
My love is your bad habit
Want to want it, cannot have it
Hand held! I hold!
Hand held! Let go!
Hand held! I hold!
We weld! Fake gold!
You press down perfect pedal
I magnetize your metal
This gilded love so pretty
Drives you back to New York City
Hand held! I hold!
Hand held! Let go!
Hand held! I hold!
We weld! Fake gold!
Crash cars, Smash hearts
What do you say?
I look through windshields just to see who you are
I am the broken driver of this gold car
Crash cars, Smash hearts
What do you say?
You never fix it
You never fixed it
Wipe the mirror
Rub my eyes
I can’t see you anyway
What do you say?

Never had much confidence in myself
Was it the way that I was brought up
That made me dependent on someone else?
I always wear my mask
The crowd would come and then I’d be left alone
The conversation would flow
I’d have to stop before I go
I need someone to trust
I’m afraid they’re all talking about me
Baby, can you help me?
Can you tell me that you love me?
Never met a guy like you
Who could understand my fears
You're a parental image to me
You act beyond your years
You try to reach inside of my soul
But I can’t help feeling
There’s no place to hide from the cruel world
Those outside
I need someone to trust
I’m afraid they’re all talking about me
Baby, can you help me?
Can you tell me that you love me?
I hear whispers
They’re calling my name
They’re getting louder
Get them out of my head
All these whispers
Baby, can you help me?
Can you tell me that you love me?

Corpus Luteum

The secret is I’m a really good confidant
I’ll keep my mouth shut but don’t be such a bore
Tell me everything and you’ll get what you want
But tell me that I’m really getting what I’m paying for
Furtive and fertile
You’ve got an elegant reason
To be my fair-weather lover
This ephemeral season
Chatter Chatter Chatter
I don’t care
You’re so beautiful, you turn from pink to red
A never-planted seed that sprouts so sad
I bought every word you ever said
It’s no secret that I spent more than I had
Furtive and fertile
A fair-weather reason
You got what you needed
Deceiving, deceiving
Chatter Chatter Chatter
I don’t care

If We Rise

If we rise
You can if you want and you got it
As you're sleepin' in, It's seepin' in
And your silence Is a violence
The sound is Alarming
If you want it Then let's sound it
This silence Is a violence
This sounds like alarm So sound the alarm
What are you trying to be What did you cite this for
What are you trying to see What are you fighting for
What are you trying to be What are you fighting for
What are you trying to see What this life is for
Why don't you Why don't you Why don't you
Why don't you Why don't you
Why don't you just rise to your feet
Choose what's worth dying for
You can if you want, You try if you start
You die with no heart, But you can't give in
You can't think what you do is enough, It's enough
If we rise

Rid the Static Sound
03:13
|
|
||
|
Filling a bottomless pit with things we don't need
(it’s a crime, every time)
Staring off impassively at computer screens
(I deny, I deny)
Omnipresent desire to take take take
Spreading the illusion it was your choice
To hoard and price gouge during a global crisis
(wonder why, wonder why)
Freezing EPA and poisoning our rivers
(it’s in my head, it’s in my bed)
Exploit our land and people who produce our necessities
Who have no right of passage in this country
(this is why, this is why, it’s all a lie, all a lie)
Turning the volume dial down
(I confess, I’m in distress)
Desperate to rid of the static sound
(less is more, less is less)
The noise that won't stop ringing in our ears
Are the messages that you refuse to hear
(this is why, this is why, it’s all a lie, all a lie)

Don't go a day without driving
Don't go a day without driving me crazy
I had a dream I was flying
Over hell, PHL
Never is our unrest quelled
Square peg, you I beg
This is everything you said
I know I know I know
Let go Let go Let go
Heart and soul
I beg to be adored
Lost control
And tumbled overboard

You started something, Walked away
What side of the world
What side of the world
What side of the world you on?
I started something and I will mark the day
What side of the world
What side of the world
What side of the world you on?
We started something, Don't walk away
What side of the world
What side of the world
What side of the world you on?
We started something, Pick a side to stay
What side of the world
What side of the world
What side of the world you on?
It’s good
This habit
Create
Inhabit
You should forget it
Feels Good if you let it
We don’t need no water let it burn down
What side of the world you on?
