Paint a picture — breeding with your vices
Plain and simple, existential crisis
So pick it up, girl you tell me pick it up
But are you eager to find?
Contingent upon birds and the bees
Gimme honey I can sing you a song
To prolong the belief of dogmatic absurdities

I said, "Hey lil mama why you messing around?
Can I come and sweep you off of your feet?"
You should already know what you're looking for girl
Is it something for a sugar to sweet?
You say loving is a thing of the crass
All the birds keep on singing if you're willing to pass the belief
But I'm a Nietzschean
She said "I'm just peachy"

Well it's cold but the peaches have been warming you up
Søren junkies, foreign monkeys got you smoking too much girl
Cigarillo Cinderella with the smoke in your eyes
A pale blue shade of innocence, my watercolor child

I said welcome to the neighborhood
I hope you don't stay for good
I know you go'n change your mind
But darling don't waste my time
I said welcome to the neighborhood
I hope you don't stay for good
I know you go'n change your mind
But darling it's a matter of time
I said welcome to the neighborhood
I hope you don't stay for good
I know you go'n change your mind
But darling don't waste my time

I said welcome to the neighborhood
I said, "Erica, you're more than just a friend"
She said, "save yourself, just pretend"

Oh, your smell
It lingers on my sheets
I haven't slept in weeks
Your space inside my bed has been left vacant
But please... silence on the set
Oh? Did you forget?
That I detest you
Lest we need to fake it anymore
(The end of the world is coming... does that scare you?)

Oh!
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there

Oh, killjoy
See I confess...
I don't possess the means to feel joy
Tend to spend time on my own
You see, I was all alone only seventeen
Young and monotone with no self-esteem
But you don't care
No you don't care
You don't care anymore
(You know you don't care for me)

God save the queen
Norma Jean, you're so routine

Well, don't tell me what you want
And don't tell me what you need
Because I can't give you more
Than what you gave to me
And when all is said and done
And all roads led to me
Then I'm glad you've had your fun
But you're still dead2me

Sun, skin, rapture
Nothing better
Float, sink, drown, fear
Keep from ‘round here

Kill your lover, evermore
I get hurt, can’t ignore
Mother’s image, summer’s son
You obey — understood

It was easier when you couldn't pretend
It was easier when you'd call me a friend
It was easier when you'd call me over
I remember we were sitting downstairs on the loveseat joking
Couldn't be a worse place for sex, dear
But there's always next year
Tell myself there's always next year

You tell me you're the sun
And I'll go blind
O, my vacant head
She said, "you're so out your mind!"

Because I alone, you avoid
I alone avoid a void
I alone, you avoid
I alone - a void

I'll set the scene:
Troubled teens and movie screens
But for pretty girls:
Shitty songs and mockingbirds
I think I'm over you!
It's so fucked up and overdue
You'll pray
That she'll stay
But she'll say

I can help you disappear
Do you run from what you fear?
I can help you disappear!
Can you help me?

It was nice to know you
Hummingbird
She wraps her lungs around a song
Despite the words
I'd like to know you
Like you do
I fell in love with a stranger
And I blame you
It was nice to know you hummingbird
I think I made a mistake here
And I blame you

It was nice to know you hummingbird
I think I made a mistake here
And I blame you

Gave you the sun
But you made off with the sky
Where once was fun in June
Alone in July
But I won't pretend I didn't bid you adieu
I gave my life for a stranger
And I blame you

It was nice to know you hummingbird
I think I made a mistake here

I wish you'd walk in
I miss your pillow talk and
I know it's a bit unlike me
To act so brand new
I'd sell my soul, do as you told me to
Because I'm still in love with a stranger
And I blame you

Hello
Do you hear me?
I need to know
If you're near me
Oh, why do you fear me?

Breathe, cry, pain
(The Haunting)
Free my brain
(The Haunting)
Sleep? try praying
(The Haunting)
Until you die,
You'll rely on The Haunting

Dead awake
Get away from me
Dead weight
Get away from me
Dead awake
Get away from me
Dead weight
Get away from me

Will you haunt me?
As you do
Do you want me?
As I want you

Tell me do I scare you?
Am I too naïve?
If I don't come near you
Can we make believe?
Tell me do I scare you?
Am I too naïve?
If I don't come near you
Can we make believe?

Do you believe?
Do you believe?
I can try to
I'm right beside you here
I can try to
I'm right beside you, dear

Do you believe in ghosts?

I am an anarchist
When I'm gone I won't be missed
But I don't want to die like this
(I want to heal)
And I don't want to lie like this
(I want to feel)
But I don't need that anymore

I want to...
Hurt
Feel
Taste
Real
Blood
Spill
Love
Kill

I need no introduction
Welcome to the greatest show
I can teach you how to ruin your relationships
With everyone important that you know

Hey, did I ruin your night?
Hey, did I ruin you?
Hey, did I ruin your night?
Hey, did I ruin you?

I am an anarchist
I am your fool

You thought you'd treat me better
How fun, I honestly thought the same
But I cut my tongue on broken promises I've made
And I'll bleed until you need me to settle the score
She said she's heard it before

It's a small town
Keep your voice down
And understand I don't care that you want me to stay
That's not yours to decide
Am I braindead?
Ain't that suicide?
If I can't get help...
Oh well
This life is a bore
So tell me if you've heard it before

You blossom here, I've got somewhere to be
You blossom here, I've got somewhere to be
You blossom here, I've got somewhere to be
You blossomed here, I gossamer

You set out
To destroy the sun
But settled
Because baby's number one
You're shadowed
Blanketed with sun
But you know
You're not the only one

Hey!
Give it to me
Leave it alone
Wait!
You just wanna...
I should've known
Because I can feel your energy
Trying not to breathe
Babe, live a little
Do as your told!

You're the centerfold

My head's flooded with pain
Your stiletto
Nightmarish scenes of you dead
Oh, I know what you've said
How you feel
How you hurt
Because it's inside me
I've got your head
Want your body

Do you feel any pain?
Do it again
Do you feel any pain?
Do it again
Do you feel any pain?
Do it again
Do it again
Do you feel any pain?
Do it again
Do it

I suck smokes, I’m a let down
Rich folks in a shit town
We’re the ghosts in your headspace
I don’t suppose that I’m a threat now?
You always said that
You’re not afraid of it
Unless that’s not what you said?
My biggest fear’s right between your ears
It’s a complex, when hungry it’s fed
But I think I’d rather be dead

I can’t stray from harms way,
Arms akimbo
Likened me to psalms
Stay strong — Akimbo

What’s with the guns that you hide?
You keep your arms at your side!
I’m just a product of your fear, I suppose
I’ll dispose of every one you provide
You’re there at heart,
Setting fire to the sheriff’s car
It’s getting harder to breathe
We let it burn, let it fill our cup
(Open up!)
I think it’s time that we leave
(Run for your life, kid!)

Fuck your feeling
They’re the reason that you’re ready to go
So defeated, so you hid it
Flaunt it, don it in gold
I’m another undiscovered
Ready set it in stone
Love of money
Hunny, power will devour you whole

Maybe I’ve been too hard to reach
But you keep on trying,
You’re lying through your teeth
What you preach, you’ve gotta practice
And breathe through your nose
There it goes!
You think you’ll make it?
The second you’re out there?

Well you’re nothing
When you’re out there,
Yeah you’re nothing

You always told me not to
Change my ways for someone else
But you’re the reason that
I like the way I hate myself
I never thought that I would care
What other people thought of me

If no one has ever told you this before,
Then let me be the first:
Try as you might,
But you cannot escape the human curse
Not afraid to die?
I know you’re bluffing.
You’ll always be the sun to me,
But in the end — you’re nothing.

On and on again,
I bet you’re out there
I bet you’re out there
There she goes again
Take me with you
Take me with you

Do you know?
That you’re so…
You’re so verso.

My peace of mind isn't mine, it's been stolen
But keep your hand off my switch blade
I'm feeling fine, killing time while the world ends
So we can dance to my mixtape

What to do when all your friends are vampires?
And everyone that you know is infected
What to do when everyone's a vampire?
We can spin in my room until the world ends

She's so chic
Inherently conscious, less of which we seek
She don't speak of such
Hush…
I'm trying to focus
Your magnum opus leaves me hopeless
And I've lost all touch
But I found God
She was working on Her pious checklist
She's had cigarettes and sex for breakfast
Existential dread, it's all the same
But what's Her name?
She was way too cool for that
I need your guidance, sociaristocrat
And I prayed that we could chat

I don't feel Her…
I'll believe if you tell me to
I don't fear Her…
I'll believe if you tell me to
Tell me to…
Tell me to…
Tell me to…

But where do we go from here?
I don't want to be left out, baby
I'll trade common sense just for confidence in you
But I'm not convinced it's true
You obscure emotion
I need your devotion
My esoteric, evangelic, heavenly divine young girl
I'll hold your hands, you can snap my neck
(Just make it quick)

I don't feel Her…
I'll believe if you tell me to
I don't fear Her…
I'll believe if you tell me to
Tell me to…
Tell me to…
Tell me to…
Girl, I've been going through hell

I found God
I killed God
I am God

Better you than me
Twist up and I can help myself if I want to
Never gonna leave this room
But I can kill myself if I want to
Do you want to?

“Let's drive and we can try our luck,”
Is what you said
”Might die, but I don't give a fuck…”
Is what you meant
I swear to God you make shit up in your head
Let's fight and you can write me off if you want
Last night did you believe in Her when you lost it?
I plan to burn that bridge when I cross it

Because if we're making out and getting high
We'll never make it out alive
But Honestly, I never have the time
If we're waking up inside our bed
I pray to God you stay
Instead you promise me again you'll never drive

Up late I hit you on your phone
Upset I left you on your own
You're so pretty but it's heavy when you're gone, babe
I pray that you come back home
Knew one day I'd be on my own
You're so pretty but it's heavy when you're gone, babe

So you went just to show your respects
And you wept like a fool - you’re a mess
Because I take what I want when I please
And you’ll beg for your life on your knees

But who do you know?
Who do you know?

In this life I have found there is love
It’s a shame they’ll never know what you’re capable of
You'll never know how, when, or why it will come to an end
I feel no remorse, but I’ll promise to cry for a friend
Or at least I’ll pretend
I’ll do the best that i can

Who do you know?
Who do you know?

I find my peace
You fall asleep
Forget my name
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
Sunflowers rot
Is this goodbye?

Cut it!
Save yourself!

Paint a picture — breeding with your vices

Save yourself!

Look both ways before you cross my mind
I’m tellin’ you girl, I don’t have the time
To be thinking about what you’re drinking about
One thing led to another, now your gun’s in your mouth
You see, I could never pretend
That I’m more than just another shit alternative band
And I know one day if I pay my dues
I’ll be back up in The Saint playin’ rhythm & blues
And singin’…

Who would’ve thought I’d be the one you put your trust in?
I’m an anti-social socialite
Your mother says you’re so polite, it’s disgusting
And so typical
Yeah it’s so typical

So we’re like, “my bad, thought we’re taking a break?”
But you’re latching onto what you want to, calling it fake
And all you’ve got me really caring ‘bout is my face
And I hate the way I laugh, but girl I love when it pays
Because you’re sycophantic
I’m sick of being manic
Sick of overthinking everything I do until I panic
And you can blame it on the moon or the alignment of stars
But I can blame it one the booze
One of many of my flaws
(Because I do this every single time)

She don’t care about you
She don’t care about you
She don’t care about you
Yeah, it’s so typical

I said, “Violet, you don’t act this way!”
She said, “I don’t really care for what you have to say…”
So whatchu gonna do when it hurts to start?
Kick it to the cut, let it break your heart

Break your heart
Break your heart
