I have, I want, I still desire
To burn in a sea of ice, drown amidst a fire
Brother of death, it's a shipwreck
Dead men brought to life again
Is this really what you want
Is this really really what you want
You'll try and get rid of me
You know you won't succeed
I'll confess it's the fools
That please the women best
The fools are the best
Oh the bestest
Heart full of hope
Heart in my throat
Heart full of hope
Heart in my throat
Time, it takes everything away
I'll lay in its pain

Child/1939

There were two friends they were so very kind
Until that year of 1939
One threw a bomb at the other one’s home
They all thought that he was gone
The survivor he got down on his knees
And hoped that God would listen to his pleas
He got up, yes he wanted revenge
So maybe one day all of this would end
Child look away there’s nothing to see here
Child turn around this is not his blood on my hands
The survivor he walked in his friend’s home
But it seemed that he was not alone
There was a child sitting on the steps in fear
He asked her “is your father here”
She replied “in the bedroom”
He said “you won’t see him anytime soon”
He was listening to some sad song
Some hypnotic woeful tune
Child look away there’s nothing to see here
Child turn around this is not his blood on my hands
The survivor he was holding a knife
He didn’t think it wrong no he thought it was right
He stood beside his former friend
Knowing he won’t try to make amends
He raised his hand he was going to strike
But then he realised he was already dead
Child look away there’s nothing to see here
Child turn around this is not his blood on my hands
Never too young but never too old
What’s it worth we don’t even know
Never too young but never too old
To see him dead on the floor
Child look away there’s nothing to see here
Child turn around this is not his blood on my hands

Coffee Girl

I'm gonna
Do all the things that I said I would do
Because I want to
I’m gonna do them all now just cuz I know how
And cuz I want to
I'm gonna walk across the street to the closest coffee shop
I'm going to get myself a coffee from the closest coffee pot
I’m not gonna burn myself because I know it's hot
Yeah it's hot
That's all that I wanted to do
I'll get one for you too
There I stood and it felt so good
And I kept walking in the neighbourhood
I'm gonna get ourselves a pet I don't know what yet
An exotic Tiger a poisonous spider
Catch ourselves a pony or maybe if we're lucky
A Unicorn! Or we could get a cat
If you want a cup I can get you some
You gotta promise though you can’t put any rum
Gotta keep your head on straight for the next few days
We’re going to go some-place and we can't be late

Give me your hand, I will hold it gently
I won’t let it go, you know it ain't a lie
I will hold it tightly, I’ll bite it hard
I'll watch it bleed, but I’ll do it for love
There are many things that I
Would like to do to you but i
Never set the bar that high
Wish upon the stars you’d leave
Come on back if you please
Forgive forget, don’t leave me
Wish you’d said goodbye
Sometimes I, I want to hurt you
Sometimes I, I want to kiss you
I got all all these feelings mixed up
Sometimes I, I want to hurt you
Sometimes I, I want to kiss you
I got all all these feelings mixed up
They say I’m obsessed but I think their wrong
I’m just highly captivated by you all day long
They say I’m crazy and I know their right
I know you know me, and you know that I don’t lie
Take me before, you forget who I am
Take me before, you forget who I could be

Dead Love

Now I'm locked out and it feels like it's a sin
If my brain had a door it wouldn't let me in
Something’s wrong I can feel it in my bones
Only in my skeleton cuz I don't got no soul
Imagine loving someone like that
Most of them say ‘please anything but that’
If I'm being honest, I'm a little obsessed
Looking in his dead eyes yeah there heartless
Open your eyes yet open them wide
Dumb thing I've done but at least it's mine
I'm so happy I can taste it in the air
You may hate the game but at least I play it fair
Guess we are both into chemistry
Mixing things that don't belong you and me
Now we have got more reason to fear
Transcendental shift in the atmosphere
Imagine loving someone like that
Most of them say ‘please anything but that’
If I'm being honest, I'm a little obsessed
Looking in his dead eyes yeah there heartless
Say that you know me
Yeah say that you know me
Say that you know me
Say that you know me
Yeah say that you know me
Say that you know me
Imagine loving someone like that
Most of them say ‘please anything but that’
If I'm being honest, I'm a little obsessed
Looking in his dead eyes yeah there heartless
Imagine loving someone like that
Most of them say ‘please anything but that’
If I'm being honest, I'm a little obsessed
Looking in his dead eyes yeah there heartless
