We live our lives one contradiction at a time: "Dying is glorious" or "Slavery is freedom."
Don't stop trying, fight it out, push it out.
We live our lives one blackout at a time. Inspiration means dedication to attention.
"We are the dead," "We are the dead," "You are the dead." We are the captivated, we chant along.
- Call Me Jersey
Tell me, tell me why the sun is shining out here in jersey,
When you are nowhere near.
And it's so hard to keep a straight face,
When all i really wanna do is scream.
You'll let me know by letting me go.
It's your way to show you're running the show.
- Little Fingers
The world against two, into the night
It feels so wrong, so right, we don't mind
That was me and you, just getting high
Talking 'bout the birth of the universe
Now I'm talking nails digging into the bed post
Funny how you can't do it without the meds yeah
Honey I'm a saint, you're almost a ghost
But I'm afraid that this is flying over my head yea
- Throw-Away Heart
How could you breathe with all that smoke in you?
Looking at you was like seeing red in a sea of blue.
I could see right through all your dirty lies.
Now it's time to try to find a way back,
To undo this heart attack.
You said, "Run away - nothing gold can stay."
It's been so long since I felt this alone.
