Can't Hurt Me

In the basement of our minds there’s an exit we can’t find
so we tell stories that might not be true
turn into soldiers
keep us immune
so I’m switching lenses
changing my hue
I see what I am now and I’m not you
no I’m not you
you can fuck me
you can starve me
you can damn me
you can lie to me
you can steal
you can ignore me
you can rape me
you can embarrass me
yeah break me down
oh you can torture
you can fight me
and you can die
yeah you can leave or I can leave
yeah you can leave
yeah I can leave
but you can’t hurt me yeah yeah
you can’t hurt me no no
you can’t hurt me yeah yeah
you can’t hurt me no no no no
you can’t hurt me anymore

Such a Mess
04:26

You make the sound in me like wind chimes in hell
bright as a bell
hard to touch
a vibrant thing, could die on its knees
quick as you please
should you want too much
i'm not one to be this careless
but if you open up my chest you will find it beats making such a mess
oh you would puzzle as i slowed with every pulse
My day to day is losing its charm not on your arm but always near
just leave me be with my easy thoughts
i can't be caught
you want too much
i'm not one to be this careless
but if you open up my chest you will find it beats making such a mess
oh you would puzzle as i slowed with every pulse
you make me such a mess with every pulse

Can I See You Yet
03:09

I like watching you crawl and back up against a wall
I whip you around
I like to see you undone
I like making you come apart up or down
I'm good at catching a spark
I see it fly in the dark
you're caught in me now
I'm good at strangling sound
I wrestle you to the ground
show me how
Oh how are you gonna fall
Oh where should we start
Oh won't you undress, amuse my sex, leave me the rest
Oh can I see you yet
You're not letting me sleep
you sneak into my dreams
you make me a host
You kiss my cheek in the car
I left my chains at the bar to play catch with your ghost
I wonder how much it's real when muses borrow and steal your will from your heart
I'm not giving you up
you know I love it too much
I'll kill myself if the story's smart
Oh how are you gonna fall to me
Oh when will it stop
Oh won't you undress, amuse my sex, leave me the rest
Or leave me to rest
Oh can I see you yet

Still Blue
03:25

Thinking of you dear as dusk is drawing near
as I leave the town for our home
it's then I forget the time we first met
and I see through my hands to the bone
I ride my old horse over cobblestone course
as my head and my feet turn to sand
my skin blows away in a cloud of gray
to rest in the cracks on the ground
a husk in my clothes on the bridge by the creek
can't explain herself at all
the watchman amused let's her on through
she's gone as she passes the bend
A door opens on to a fire lit room
you greet me with sweet words and wine
we both sit down and I look at the face
of the stranger who says that she's mine
how much of me is left
not enough to get upset
every time i see your face your eyes are still blue
i wish i could remember, but every time it's new

Funny Animal

You're scary lovely
you're lucky sad
you're pretty painful
you're funny, animal
we're mending so slowly we can't fall apart
i want the dirt under your chin to stick to my heart
no one hates me like i do
no one loves me like you
i'm the trigger on all of my guns
i digest the ammo
powder all over
help me see through
i'll take a piece of each lick of salt i can get from you
you're scary lovely
you're lucky sad
you're pretty painful
you're funny, animal
i don't know or care to trust anything in time
i love you gently, violent
everything is fine
we're lucky sad
we're pretty painful aren't we
we're funny animals

Suicidal Idiot
02:56
|

|
My sadness fucks my anger
incestustuous spoiled twin little pricks
let me at 'em gotta get a sick fix I'm convinced i deserve
i create a new avatar every day
she's sexy, stupid and evil
wanna slice her right through her hungry eyes
right through her skinny outfitted middle
she thinks she's unstoppable and she thinks she's god
why do i arm her, she's mad
a dangerous suicidal idiot
she's a virtual enemy of the state
a rogue ensign stealing my information
she's walking around and she's wearing my
she's wearing my uniform
she's missing freckles and scars
did i erase them or did she eat them off
bit into her own sick pixels
she scares me
which is to say
i'm fearful of myself of my strength of my words
of my thoughts and my ability not to care
of my selfishness and it's time to take her out
this is the answer
i'm not a light, i'm a cancer
i scare myself and it's going real well
cause i'm so awake i'm never going to bed
i scare myself and my body's a cell
and these calloused hands are drawing targets on my head
i scare myself and i'm going to hell
cause i'm a suicidal idiot
and i'll live when i'm dead

Back in a Body
04:40
|
|||
|
When I was a younger version of me I couldn't wait to die
nothing surprising, nothing to see
what's on the other side
all of my limits bound to my hull
just a bunch of skin and bones
there's so much more than feet on the floor
fighting time alone
back in a body again
did i want depression of roots in position
or the sun when it burned
or was it the torture to suffer the weight
of forgetting how it worked
maybe i annoyed a god or didn't like the truth
maybe i craved how much it hurts to break myself in two
back in a body again
more and more of you break down my walls
but i see through your skin
something about you, even your shell
i've seen before and since
problem is, you're stuck too
and clocks, they keep their tick
you belong out there and free
but i like the one you picked
back in a body again

As You Should
02:58

Field at night
stained with fire
friends in love
tented and tired
oh fated logs
delay my sleep
calm the wretch
who fights in me
every night this web it spins
delicate it bends in the wind
i relax outside my skin
kiss me soft
ash and sand
make me whole
remind me who i am
wash me strange
mist and soot
make me good
tell me who i should
every night this web it spins
delicate it bends in the wind
i relax outside my skin
life is strange
life is hard
chances are it isn't what you thought
life is strange
life is good
you are good
you are as you should
