Claw Marks

is this gonna happen yet?
Can feel you like a hurricane that hits the shore
And my heart was in somebody's hands
But it has no home anymore
I thought I'd fallen and wanted and moved on from you but here we are
Your man isn't dancing, guess I should've brought my car
But then we're walking and talking and asking if you still feel anything at all
Oh my god
I'm so torn up that you can see the claw marks
Should've known we wouldn't last a year
Should've known it'd be you and me dancing in the dark
Is this gonna go somewhere
The morning's coming, flooding through your window pane
There's cigarettes and polaroids
So i might as well be a cliche and a mistake
Your secrets have secrets you haven't even heard about
So i assumed you withdrew 'cause you kept hearing them shout
But then you whisper i missed you and i feel the world cave in on itself
Oh my god
I'm so torn up that you can see the claw marks
Should've known that I can't last a year
Should've known it'd be you and me dancing in the dark
Oh my god
I didn't know that it would be this hard to stop
you write magic in the atmosphere
why'd we go and burn down seven years, put them in the sparks
if you stay
and i stay again
if you say
what i hope you're thinking
if we don't wait
'cause i loved you then and i love you now and you're coming around
then i break
like i'm made of scars
i should be thrilled to be okay
but you know there's a living darkness
in me
you trace a couple stars
along my wrists and arms
like you're still who you are to me
*dramatic buildup intensifies*
Oh my god
I'm so torn up that you can see the claw marks
Should've known that I can't last a year
Should've known it'd be you and me dancing in the dark
Oh my god
I didn't know that it would be this hard to stop
you write magic in the atmosphere
why'd we go and burn down seven years, put them in the sparks

No Ceiling

My soul is wide awake
and I want to feel numb
there isn't anyway now to
cover up what i've become
and your husband left,
so you're in my head, of course
i guess this is how it goes
I tell you i'm a mess
and you whisper into my chest
don't say anything more
don't tell me
don't tell me what i want
you're somebody i thought i'd never get to touch again
my heart is burning at the sight of us
hell, it's on fire, i feel it
burn brighter there's no ceiling
don't love me
like you love not getting caught i'm
the badlands and i'd rather you hurricane than haunt 'cause
this lightning is something I romanticize and want
I'm so high and i feel it
confined by no ceiling
my mind is trying to kill me
in the middle of the night
and the fog looks good on you
like flashing red lights
there's something trembling in your lips
like a question or a kiss
it's something i don't want to ask
'cause i'm afraid you know my veins are
some and flames
when I try to say they're ash
don't tell me
don't tell me what i want
you're somebody i thought i'd never get to touch again
my heart is burning at the sight of us
hell, it's on fire, i feel it
burn brighter there's no ceiling
don't love me
like you love not getting caught i'm
the badlands and i'd rather you hurricane than haunt 'cause
this lightning is something I romanticize and want
I'm so high and i feel it
confined by no ceiling
are you getting high off something you're not telling me
oh you don't have to lie to me
don't tell me
don't tell me what i want
you're somebody i thought i'd never get to touch again
my heart is burning at the sight of us
hell, it's on fire, i feel it
burn brighter there's no ceiling
don't love me
like you love not getting caught i'm
the badlands and i'd rather you hurricane than haunt 'cause
this lightning is something I romanticize and want
I'm so high and i feel it
confined by no ceiling

The Flood

You are sexy
my skin is torn
you say you love me
I feel the blood drip on my shirt
you are dancing
i have a nightmare in my hands
you are wild
i put my hands against my chest
there are three simple letters
just like three simple words
you write me love letters
i obsess and i reverse
all the progress that i've made
hope i finally get it down
and understand that who i am
can't be ignored when the lights flood the town
listen baby
my OCD
isn't spoken about much
but it's still sewn into the seams
that i am tearing out
in between
when i slip out of the bedroom
and when i come back there to sleep
because I find a vacant mirror
and I tear apart my body
you would think i was possessed love
if you came downstairs and saw me
I wake up a bit before dawn
I can't sleep and I can't stall
I can't understand that who I am
can't be controlled when the flood hits the wall
there's no light
in this hallway
but your hands
feel my scars
like they can't take any more skin
so they find other ways to carve
oh all the progress that I made
hope i'll finally get it down
and understand that
who I am
can't be ignored
when the lights
flood the town

TV Screen

This isn't the prettiest voice
you have ever heard
and you know the prettiest boys
i've tried so hard to feel secure
but i'm not and i'm
standing on the edge
but this is a cliff where you've built a home
i know you're weight's a little number that will
tear away at your soul
but i'd rather be caught up in the suburbs
your grass stained jeans from messing around
then hiding under your covers
just past the witching hour
i told you all of my numbers
and you tried to keep yours down
but love come on
CHORUS:
i've got no doubt about it
my girlfriend's on the TV screen
and i've got no doubt about it now
she's got a white dress
gold dreams
and everything that i have just screams
no doubt about it now
that she doesn't eat
This isn’t the prettiest place
You have ever seen
So I feel there must’ve been a mistake
When you decided to spend a night with me
And you’re saying words
That I know are gonna burn
I take the mirror and I put it down
You say you seem so unafraid
Of the people we used to be
I guess you really don’t see me now
As you go out and get more fame
A camera looks at you and you feel the scars
Did we ever not feel this way
‘Bout our dreams, our lives, and our stretch marks
I know you still have your dreams
They’re still pulling at your heart
But this is a hell of a price to pay my love
CHORUS
Forget the stars they’re gonna fade
We all thought love would be the final fix someday
I catch you laughing as somebody says “the ecstasy is great”
And “no high is high enough to keep you sane”
You’re wearing a white satin dress
And you’ve never seemed so cadaverous
Your friends say you look like a model or a dream, a magazine
But the page turns and you feel it
I close my eyes on the ride home
See you rolling up my favorite jeans
And running wild in the wilderness
That was sycamore creek
I knew we’d go to find some city lights
But never thought I’d come back for peace
Love come on

I saw you the other night
You were glowing in the color of the city lights
I saw you the other night
When you told me how your parents used to make you cry
Then I told you 'bout the shadows
That would keep me up at night
Didn't wonder how something so small
Could give me so much fright
Then I saw my world unfold
Into pieces that fit perfectly into yours
Then I saw the way you looked at me
And you saw me

Almost been a year
white bottle caps and needles here
chair in the hall knows I couldn't see this year
couldn't see this year
when the voices say it's coming soon
when god is in the room
when you're making deals with demons asking
what do I have to do
CHORUS:
Oh are you clean
oh set me free
of are you seeing
what I see
Echo in this house
still taste the faith across my mouth
I inked my skin with hoping I'd find you in a drought
or find you in those sounds
hearing the voices say they're coming back
fearing the night that shade of black
I wasn't fearless when they told me that
and you said she'll save you like I always have
CHORUS
we're barely even breathing I can't hear you speak
feel the fire on the bridge burn the souls of our feet
all I wanted was an afterlife and just a bit of peace
we both walked away
now I found someone to look at me like starlight lines my bones
the ones i used to dream about finding ways to show
of you don't know that they're demons til they have you by the throat
I didn't know they'd stay
i didn't know they'd stay
