stillborn minds no place no time homogenous and cultureless can’t tell the shake from the fries shut your gates and serve your time in your prison d.i.y. Under a vacant sky empty tonight as any other night vacant skull board up your eyes future school shooter in the wandering aisles shut your gates and serve your time in your prison d.i.y. Under a vacant sky empty tonight as any other night shut your gates and serve your time in your prison d.i.y. Under a vacant sky empty tonight as any other night

yours I am yours always yours I am yours until they cut me down or you kick me out yours I am yours always yours I am yours until the end of time or the end of mine I would break any tender heart in two I would burn the tinder world for you I would do all of this and more for you you yours I am yours always yours I am yours until you’re out of love or they string me up yours I am yours always yours I am yours if I ever lose my way I will always find you again I would break any tender heart in two I would burn the tinder world for you I would do all of this and more for you you

these are the dreams of a sentimental wasp you are the only thing I really want someone’s always wearing our new clothes they’ll send you up the creek without your coat I might mess this up lean in to kiss and drink your blood I was a burning star til I went out no one wears their shades around me now traces of the light that’s come and gone you were the one I always dreamed I’d love I might mess this up lean in to kiss and drink your blood there’s no other place I’d rather haunt you are the only thing I really want I am a lost lovestruck vampire bat you are all I need anywhere I am I might mess this up lean in to kiss and drink your blood

enjoy your stay at the twilight motor lodge release your cares someone will come collect your things do not despair find your room just down the hall and up the stairs and here’s a key that you won’t need you’ll die in here in here we’re all haunted in here we’re all broke in here we’re all done but we don’t know in here we’re all haunted in here we’re all broke in here we’re all done but we don’t know enjoy your stay at the twilight motor lodge release your cares someone will come collect your things do not despair find your room just down the hall and up the stairs and here’s a key that you won’t need you’ll die in here in here in here we’re so heavy in here we just float in here we’re all hanging by a rope in here in here we’re so heavy in here we just float in here we’re all hanging by a rope in here we’re all haunted in here we’re all broke in here we’re all dead but we don’t know in here we’re all haunted in here we’re all broke in here we’re all dead but we don’t know

can I take your picture? I could use you in my magazine turn the page you’ll see it’s just the way we do things you could be famous but not in like me not in like me have you seen me? have you seen me? can I paint your picture? I could really use someone like you beautiful like you others don’t look good enough for a true master like me have you seen me? have you seen me? can I keep your image in a box under the house? no one will find you now until I’m gone until the dogs sniff you out have you seen me? have you seen me? spilled the milk again spilled the milk again spilled the milk again spilled the milk again spilled the milk again spilled the milk again spilled the milk again

behind your back that same dull face that always had something to say you turn around to shout out loud but spiders fall out of your mouth shake it off there is nothing there there is a sun somewhere it doesn’t get any better than this it doesn’t get any better than this it doesn’t get any better than this that’s it this is all there is thought you might get out a bit but you went too far from where you live the long way home was just a wreck now something is crawling on your neck knock it off there is nothing there you’ll be alright there is a sun somewhere it doesn’t get any better than this it doesn’t get any better than this it doesn’t get any better than this that’s it this is all there is nothing changes nothing moves a long and bitter life ensues nothing’s gone now but your youth years with something in your shoe walk it off there is nothing there you’ll be alright there is a sun somewhere some sun somewhere it doesn’t get any better than this it doesn’t get any better than this it doesn’t get any better than this that’s it this is all there is

dying is easier than living like falling is to climbing never want to need someone dying is easier than living on golden is a gas red is a blast blue is just a long low drag I’m so tired fighting currents endless circles just flies in someone’s window keep rowing if you can if it starts to hurt too much I understand golden is a gas red is a blast blue is just a long low drag golden is a gas red is a blast blue is just a long low drag I’m so tired
