Freakshow
02:26
|

|
I have darkness
and I have light
I am whole
so I can’t deny
any side
of myself
Everybody loves a freakshow
They don’t like the freak though
Come on baby
Why do this to me?
I’m alright
Love me right

Held Open Door
02:50

Life
held open the door
and then it tripped me
on my way in
I will never
walk through another
held open door
ever
I know I am strong
but strength don’t get me high
I get so bored
and I want to feel alive
You
are the last thread
of my youth
inside of my head
and as I lose you
I mourn my own death
These seven stages
they’re lasting ages
I know I am strong
but strength don’t get me high
I get so bored
and I want to feel alive
I know I am strong
but strength don’t get me high
I’ve heard a cackling voice
inside my head my whole life

Dancer
01:39

As a dancer you say you dance for yourself
but you dance for the judges
just like everyone else
You stand there
You stand there on the stage
Yeah, you stand in the spotlight
and absorb their gaze
They say,
It looks like you’re heart was in heart was in it
to win it
but you’ve got to work on your posture
your posture
your posturing
We’ll assign you a partner
in the next round
So smile with your teeth
Turn that frown upside down
Make it look like you love her
Make it look like you’re lovers

Warm Death (HIFI)
04:50
|
|||
|
Paint fumes
and cold rooms
Who I was
Young love
and drug use
Who I am
Isn’t it such a good thing
that I’m not sad like
I used to be?
Isn’t it such a good thing?
Why do my eyelids
sometimes feel like
warm coffins for my eyes?
If nothing else happens
then will I still be surprised?
Isn’t it such a good thing
that I’m not sad like
I used to be?
Isn’t it
such a
good thing?

Gun
03:47
|
|||
|
I can’t drive without thinking about
all the bad things that have happened
to me
I get to thinking evil is all around
I get to thinking that
then it’s all I see
even in me
You watch my body
writhing
but you don’t leave me
You don’t leave me
My dog starts shaking
and I just can’t believe me
Just can’t believe me
I’m gonna get a tattoo on my leg
of me pointing a gun at my own head
at my own head
There’s another gun
in the other one
pointing outwards
telling you not to fuck with me
Do not fuck with me
You watch my body
writhing
but you don’t leave me
You don’t leave me
My dog starts shaking
and I just can’t believe me
