THE END OF THE WORLD
03:17
|
|||
|
Oh, I'm awkward and lonely and nobody likes me
Or thinks that I'm pretty, or just wants to kiss me
I might have been hot early on in my twenties
But now I feel ugly while
All my friends are
Hot and successful and very well dressed
With their partners and pets and
I haven't had sex in months
But I swore my celibate this year 'cause
I was unhinged and I fucked out of fear of
Being alone every night, every day
All my exes are happy in love or engaged
And I fear that my body feels more like a broken machine
That just glitches when someone comes close to me
And I could set all my organs on fire
For how often I war with my sense of desire
And I hate my round face and my glasses
I can't help but burn everything and draw poems in the ashes, oh
I've been frightened of death since I was about seven
I don't pray to God and I curse to high heaven
Eternal oblivion sounds much more fun
That's when all of my molecules fade to the sun
And I keep getting off at the wrong subway station
I hate everyone but I love masturbation
I say that I'm sad but they say that I'm smart
So I should be so glad to get paid for my art
But language has always been just like a lifeline
I'd give up my brain to be loved for a lifetime
Oh, lonely I am, I think lonely I'll stay
But don't pity me please, I can't stand to be this way
I think I was born to help everyone else
And I love being alive but I don't like myself
Oh, my country's a cunt and the world is at war
At the end of the world, who am I really singing this for?

RAW
03:41
|
|||
|
Hush, the old world is dead now
And the full moon has come out
Love, oh we can't be alone now
Sooner or later we're out of control
Now, oh, you thought this would thrill me
But do you see what I saw?
You threatened to kill me
For your famine it filled you
Up in a ravenous hunger
You looked at me like I'm your lover
And you held me up
You sharpen your teeth on my smile
Your body's been ready awhile
You whisper, "love has no law"
And came to eat me
Raw
Raw
Oh, I'm so bored of beautiful women
I want blood
And I'm so sick of flipping through menus
It's all you can eat or it's done
Man or women, it's meat
When I'm licking the bones clean
And your inside's inside me
And I'll eat
Anything with all my hunger
Turn anyone into a lover
If I'm lonely enough
I sharpen my teeth on my spine
Your body is finally mine
I whisper, "love has no law"
And came and took you
Raw
Raw
Do me any way you wanna
Skin me like Luka Magnotta
Baby's blood is body's water
Sadomasochistic slaughter
Our bodies eternal, entwined
Succumb to my hunger inside
My lover is keeping me live
So I live, so she dies
I walked alone down an empty street
To meet the morning sun
For once my love took a bite of me
I took a bigger one
With every chew, I worshipped you
In brazen, bloody bliss
But now I'd yield a thousand meals
For one last kiss
Oh, desire it limps like a wounded dove
It spreads like forest flame
For once, my love, I devoured you
I never loved again

HOUNDSTOOTH
03:32
|

Oh I'm ragged and rough and I live in the city alone
And I slept with a man with a mind like the Rosetta Stone
In his face, though, I pictured you
And I woke in the morning so brazen and bored and blue, it's true
And I hoped it would hurt if you knew
Oh I tore up my love songs and lost all my language for you
And I finally found a new downtown to rove my way through
But I dream of being something else
And I fear becoming, but
Everyday I try so hard to trace the forms of who we are
And I'm sick of being such a wreck but I'll beg like a dog at your door
Till a ring's on the finger of someone you love more
Now I bare all my teeth and I fall at your feet for a bone
And I howl at the moon-flooded skyscraper stacks on my own
And I've grown a conspicuous pelt
I've been touching your name on my phone more than I touch myself
Once I saw you in rose coloured tones, now I see you in grey
And I'm feral and fierce but you've got me obedience trained
And your address still hangs 'round my neck
That I'll keep running home to
But everyday I wake alone, how I've grown and grown and grown
And I've lost all self respect so I'll beg like a dog at your door
Till a ring's on the finger of someone you love more
And I'll beg like a dog, like a dog, like a dog at your door
And I'm not the same woman you loved
I'm vicious and I'm violent
Oh, what a shame you tripped on my tongue and caught on my houndstooth scarf
We fall apart
And I'm so sick of being alone, so I'll beg like a dog
Aa-ooh, aa-ooh
Till a ring's on the finger of someone you love more
Till a ring's on the finger of someone you love

BEST WOMAN
03:16
|
|||
|
Well, I guess you're getting married
Found you a lady
Back in your high school hometown
And I guess you're in deep now
Got a pretty little home now
And I see her posting pictures all around
So when you ask me,
Hey, won't you come to the wedding?
Said are you kidding me now
And when you ask me,
Hey won't you be in my party
I say no chance in hell
Oh I can tell
You want me as your best woman
Cause I am the best woman
And you tell me I'm your best woman
Cause I am the best you've ever been with
Ohhh
Now, she's calling you baby like
You called me your baby
Now, she's having your baby
And I bet when you made her you called out my name
Hey, maybe I'm what you'll name her
And so then you can tame her
And blame her, and shame her well
So when you call me
Saying, "Oh, she's acting real psycho,
Why can't she be more like you?"
(Why, why, why?)
How can I tell you
This little lady you love can be a real bitch too
All because you
You want me as your best woman
Cause I am the best woman
And you tell me I'm your best woman
Cause I am the best you've ever been with
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today
Under a God that saw me burn the bride's bouquet
While you stand hand in hand, ring on ring
Praise the Everlasting King
So let the congregation sing
Always in your bed, woman
I'll never be a wed woman
She wears white I wear red, woman
Still I am the best I've ever been
And so you want me as your best woman
Cause I am the best woman
And you tell me I'm your best woman
Cause I am the best you've ever been with

GENESIS 3
04:02

|
Back of the bar, sweat through the glass
Cigarette smoke, hand on my ass
Home to my junior bedroom frame
Shedding my skin to spell your name
Bathwater burns, quiet goodbye
I made you cum, I made you cry
I made you part your pretty mouth for me tonight
And so your garden grew green, but I painted it red
Enchant my neuroses, your therapist said
You drown in your dreams, but for me you return
Oh, it wouldn't be the first temptation to see paradise burn
Where do you end and I begin?
Tyrannous God, Original Sin?
Ocean of fire I'm drowning in
Teach me to dance on it, teach me to swim
Manic desire rots at your teeth
How can I love if I can't help but leave
You and your extraterrestrial belief that I'll never leave you
And you'll never see
That when your garden grew green, I painted it red
Your militant mouth, my porcelain dread
My toilet bowl grime, the money you earn
Oh, it wouldn't be the first temptation to see paradise burn
Your garden decayed, our lust was forlorn
I sinned by your body, we're innocent born
The doctrine defied, the lore we unlearn
Oh, we wouldn't be the first temptation to see paradise burn

EGO DEATH
03:13
|
|||
|
Rage kept me warm when love made me cruel
She trembled inside me, coloured me blue
She lured crooked words from the dirt in my mouth 'till they drowned
How strange, the sound
I grew us a garden, handsome and thick
It slept on my window, sheltered and sick
I cry to the sinister sky, is this heaven or hell?
And I yell
Where do I go?
And what do I know?
I will fall through the air as I am and let my hair down
Where do I go?
And what do I know?
I will fall through the air as I am and let my hair down
Now I lurk like a lion, famished but fast
In some lonely land I swore was the past
My feet underneath where the locusts meet
My head is in Richmond, my heart is on Queen
And I've been silent and swift like the plague
The sensory details, cryptic and vague
The words came to me in a dream, but now I stay awake,
And I say
Where do I go?
And what do I know?
I will fall through the air as I am and let my hair down
Where do I go?
And what do I know?
I will fall through the air as I am and let my hair down

SURRENDER
03:35
|
|||
|
Oh, I'm a slut to my city of steel and grime
I make myself pretty with wasted time
I see my friends, their dreams are dead
We take the city subway like a bullet to our heads
But lately I was alone on a mountainside
The silence was nigh all around
And it swept me up and it let me down
And all my little violences surrendered to the sound
Oh, they say
Surrender, surrender, surrender surrender
Surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
Oh, and I danced with the devil and he begged me
To slaughter every woman that I was for a quarter century
But I can't return, I can only look back
At all the ruin I was and the grace that I lacked
And I'll swallow my sorrow and drop my sword
They medicated me last week, and I was scared but I said sure
I can't resist it anymore, I don't want to fight like before
But I've built me a home and I don't want to go
So I was so high at the stadium
When we sang along to the band
And it played us in and it played us out
And all our little violences surrendered to the sound
And they said,
Surrender, surrender, surrender surrender
Surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender, surrender surrender
Surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
I pray my rage is a fire that wipes me clean, and
My sorrow's a tsunami submarine
And my heart is a bunker while my hurt is a hurricane, and
The land's in wreckage but I know I can love again
My rage is a fire that wipes me clean, and
My sorrow's a tsunami submarine
And my heart is a bunker while my hurt is a hurricane, and
The land's in wreckage but I know I can love again
Oh, I was alone by a waterfall
I knew I could jump and be dead
My face all white while my neck's all red
'Cause your love was the last thing that shot through my head
Oh, I was alone on the lakeshore
My sorrows were over and drowned
I saw the light shining through the clouds
And all my little violences surrendered to my sound

DAUGHTER
03:53
|
|||
|
I was born in the archer's moon
I was made by a clinician's hand
My mother and father, they wanted a daughter
They raised her on loveless land
With a song and a steel tongue
And the schoolchildren jeered,
"She's so uglily formed"
I was wicked, but warm
Now I run, and I fear
I can't be alone
With all that I've ever known
So if I roam
Can I come home?
I was birthed in the winter's breath
Where the groundhog saw face and saw fear
Oh, it writhed and it withered for six weeks of winter more
But I got twenty-five years
And now I'm on my own
With all that I've ever known
So when I roam
Can I come home?
And I can't bear a child
That I can't survive
For I can't hold their hand when they leave this strange land
That I leased them when I brought them life
Oh, I'm every ugliness prone
And I've cursed every tempest above
Oh, despite every violence shown
And with every violence known
I still believe in love
