Lyrics


Doghearted

Wel I fell in love 
With a doghearted man
He had dust in his hair
Straight lines across his hands
And on our backs we slid across 
Wooden floors
There was dirt in our hair
But we held out for more

I swore I wouldn't care
I was a random chance
Death, romance
I was just there

So sink your teeth into my bones
Cant you taste the sound of our moans
We're reckless, we are lovers
We are the undiscovered
We are fated to wander and roam

Well he dragged me across tables
To take a long hard kiss
We met on street corners
He held me in his fist
I laughed, he lingered
I pushed im into walls
We flared, we flickered
And our hearts began to brawl

Meet me in the dark
Of the city dirt streets
Ive got a sweetheart
A fighter, and a mouth of concrete

Good Behaviour


Shut the !@#$ up
When I'm talking to you
You don't listen at all
It's something you can't do
I can't handle you
I can barely handle myself


I don't fit your configutarion
We're too attached
To this seperation
Don't call my initials
When you can't even
Say my real name

I won't come down
NO I won't come around
Just wishing and hoping and thinking
That you might change
I can't come down
I can't come around
Just wishing and hoping and thinking
that you might change

Not gonna knock knock knock
On your front door
Not gonna sit on your step
Waiting for something more
You never come around
I never wanted to stay


Don't treat me like a game
Or play me like a sport
This isn't my last inning
I'm not going to come up short
In any other city
You wouldn't feel the same way
I won't come down
NO I won't come around
Just wishing and hoping and thinking
That you might change
I can't come down
I can't come around
Just wishing and hoping and thinking
that you might change

Parkdale

Stick in the road
A kid on a bike
A car drags a tail pipe

There are dogs on chains
And cats in trees
Police writing tickets
Shop keepers turning keys

I'll never think of them again
I dream of sticks, rust
And dirty pop cans

People become walking
Breathing jukeboxes
Songs coming out so clear
They're kind of like fighters
Red and gold lights
Coming out their heads
Maybe Ill see later
Just what it is you gave her
Lovers are imperfect
And so greedy on the surface
But she loves for you that.

Inhale seconds
Exhale til you break
Shadows crawl
Before they take shape

Faceless people
Cardboard kids
Dogs bark at bricks
Cats kill what they came to kill

What The Hell


What the hell
Did you want with me
Was just your great catastrophe?
Now I'm fated and doomed
To wait for you
Just a dying blackbird
Whose song can't be heard
Why the hell
Did you climb back in my mind
Was I not the
Recipricol kind
The monsters and angels
The devils monsoons
Were you stuck there at the table
Solving just who is who
When you get to heaven
Won't you drop me a line
Tell me your story
How you prematurely died
And did you call them liars
With all your faithless desires
Did you say the things you wanted
Without being haunted

When the hell
Did you get so contrite
Never gave much thought
To wrong and right
Did you put me on a shelf
With the things you couldn't save
How could you be so cruel?
With trophies and band aids
Did you wish me so well
When you cast that spell
With your bruising eyes, I thought I saw surprise.
What the hell.

What's Left

Drown yourself in liquor
I'll hang myself with words
While we're lying here restless
I am listening to the birds

And the people out your window
On your busy city street
What I came here to tell you
All had turned to concrete


You said this is what you want
This is what you get
We hit a wall, what's left is left
No need to forgive me
No need to be so kind
This is all behind us.


I could write you forever
All my words would get lost
I fought you, I loved you
With all my fingers crossed


And your hands are my hands
But I can't feel your touch
So I'm falling out of windows
Cause I ain't feeling much

I rushed to the door
I couldn't figure out the lock
So pretty and so petty
I'm the one who's taking stock

Of all the times I've knifed you
But barely missed your heart
I won't hear from you again
So I'm granting a fresh start

Hospital Quiet

Meet me at the hospital
cause i don't know when i'll be home
these wires attach to my face,
My chest, my wrists, my bones

So meet me at the hospital
Cause i don't want to be alone
The lies they tell, the words that fell
I'm feeling like a stone

The vinyl floors
Wooden corridors
The walls a yellow beige
I've been sick for so long now

What was normal now seems strange

Wrap the gown twice
Round my waist, inject me to glow
And take this mask
Down off my face
You know what i already know
Hospital quiet
beeps and clicks
it's keeping me up
it's making me sick
I might break
I've been this way too long

What they say
No i can't hear
it's been so long
before i could feel
anything but this way
