that's the spirit

same nights, old story
cigarettes on your breath
who's he? I'll say it, on my knees
Win or lose, I hope you never take me for a fool
beat my face in, black and blue
tell me I'm your disease
but I am unaware
of every sudden change
the fringes of your fingertips
are patterned on my face
look at my disgrace
know that nothing will ever be the same again
that's the spirit, and she tells me
she wears it on her sleeves
that's the spirit, or what haunts me
it tells me what to believe
that's the spirit, and it tells me
touch me one more time
my feelings and my drinks are mixed
there's nothing I can do to fix
this situation in which your thoughts are crawling in to mine
but if you can give me one last chance I promise I will never let you down
honey, can I tell you this when no one is around?
because I am unaware
of every sudden change
the fringes of your fingertips
are patterned on my face
look at my disgrace
know that nothing will ever be the same again
that's the spirit, and she tells me
she wears it on her sleeves
that's the spirit, and it haunts me
it tells me what to believe
that's the spirit, and she tells me
touch me one more time

androgynous

"baby, I'm not sick
just a little exotic"
and I'm addicted
she's like a needle in my skin
I'll get my hopes up
I've been waiting my whole life
you know I need someone to keep me waiting
this bottle's in my hands to keep me sedated
"just leave me alone when I need my peace"
and kiss my cheek while this cigarettes' in my teeth
everytime he looks inside
and trys to find
a piece of me, in your divine
I'm a man that's built to fly
with no wings by my side
sweet cheeks and a crooked spine
he looks as old as 95
i can get there if you want
it just might take some time
tell me what I've done and what I'm supposed to do
keep thinking to myself about this narcissistic point of view
"say you're sorry, and lay your head to rest"
I'll lay my head down, I'm not trying to be androgynous
just leave me alone when I need my peace
kiss my cheek while this cigarettes' in my teeth

who knows
04:35

and you walk beside me as I sleep
waiting for the dawn
and you reach for the ceiling with the television on
please don't wake up
I've got so many places to be
keep your light on
you've got so many things to see
gotta forgive me
I'm not the only one who knows
darling believe me
it's not the only thing that shows
and I hope that you remember how to swim
cause your going in too deep
I hope you remember to obtain
all the these you need

breathe

I feel you so much closer
than you have ever been
and in my dreams you chase me
my thoughts are running thin
in your imagination
sun bursts with shades of red
and yet I fell before you
on knees as tongues had bled
I can't breathe
I feel the earth below me
gravitation warms my skin
and yet I seek to find my
mind is crazy from within
can you prescribe me something
to help this pain I face?
cause I'm not running home
cause I'm not coming home
here we are now on the face of the island
as we see a tidal wave crashing on the show below out feet
I need direction to the nearest catastrophe
it's the only thing that's saving us from destiny
lovers fight till the end of eternity
it never stops
please god just save me from it all
