Hotel Coral Essex

If it starts to feel then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury
We're guilty till we die
If it starts to sing reach in remove the sirens
This respirator keeps a countdown to our cancellation

If it starts to bleed do not adjust the contrast
Doctor deliver us
Heaven holds no truth
For dreamers like you and I

Remember the day they cut our throats
We learned to smile from our necks
This is the breech of etiquette
With wires jutting out from arms
I'll never look at you again
If it's only a mirror in the end
And if there's no one after us
We'll turn the lights out when we leave

I'll never look at you again
If it's only it's only it's only a mirror
I'll never look at you again
If it's only it's only a mirror
We're guilty till we die
I'll never look at you again
We're guilty till we die
I'll never look
We're guilty till we die
I'll never look at you again
We're guilty till we die
I'll never look at you
Till we die

Siphon the ivory from the tusk we're guilty till we die
We only bleed when the knives are drawn
Vultures pick the meat from the bones
We're guilty till we die
We only love when the camera's on

If it starts to feel then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury
We're guilty till we die
If it starts to feel then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury
We're guilty till we die
(Till we die)

Do not adjust the contrast
My love our days are numbered
We'll remain guilty until our hearts give in and pull us under
Do not adjust the contrast
My love our days are numbered
We'll remain guilty until our hearts give in and pull us under
Do not adjust until we die
Until we die baby

We left our corpses on the beach
Untouched and slightly out of reach
We paint the walls with our dreams
We'll turn the lights out when we leave
We left our corpses on the beach
Untouched and slightly out of reach
We paint the walls with our dreams
We'll turn the lights out

Gutter Shark

I crawled for mile
Slit open by a trail of thorns
I prowled
I prowled the vapid avenue
Slurring every word I wished I said

Stranded
A nocturnal hellhole
I have a dread of becoming a martyr
Pry it out
Pry it out
Pavement spits back when the clock strikes

I crawled for miles and miles
Take the palms
Save the fright from from

I sprawled prototypical creature
Mouthwide and cobblestone canvas
Time lapse
Rejected donors
Flee from
The scene
Blind numb
On a whiskey slicked highway
I'm reeling toward the temptation at hand
Fog lights
Disjointed lightning
Nauseous
Nauseous
I'm drooling right on cue
I'm sleeping in a pew
It's all misconstrued
Goddamn this night

Fabricate
Deny
Until the beat makes you sick

Guttershark
Prescribe
The man is void of reason

I crawled for miles and miles
Till the palms called it quits
(Yeah)
I crawled for miles and miles and miles
Take the palms
Save the fright from

Fear grips me
Drained
Pissed
Drowned
You might cut a man
Just to watch him bleed
You might cure yourself of this plague
You might spill your guts
To this bloodthirsty crowd
They might think I'm you
I'm gonna end up you

You can't shake it
The fear
The vice
The tremble
The bittersweet melody is deafening
So hide your broken halo from me
You can't shake it
The fear
The vice
The tremble
The bittersweet melody is deafening
So hide your broken halo from me

I crawled for miles
I crawled for miles
I crawled for miles

My Assassin

The sky blistered red
Shots ring overhead
I'm scaling walls that the soldiers built to muffle out your screams

The message was dislocated
Misconveyed
Incinerated
In the wake of war just listen for the flood

The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's spilling me

Maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in a saves me from the flood
Collapse
This is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us can I just save you

We must have been seduced by the calm
Can't you hear the bombs are calling all our old habits their own
A sniper patiently awaiting me in every catacomb
Are you scared girl
Won't you be my assassin
Hunted down for the last time and carried you home

The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's spilling me

Maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse
This is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us, can I just save you

Bring on the love
Cause here comes the flood
Bring on the love
Cause here it comes

We must have been seduced by the calm of the isle as we tied our wrists
Our wrists too tight in the shallow
Shallow
Wrist too tight in the shallow

Maybe you could finally be the one who finally reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse
This is our last chance
There's no time for relapse now
Just listen for the flood

If not us can I just save you

Antarctica

The rain begins
The tide it pulls
And drags me down
It doesn't end

Keep rolling in
Keep rolling in
Alone you float
She wont let go
And it spins you out
Keep rolling in
Keep rolling in
Keep rolling in

Underneath a web of satellites
Concrete structures puncture holes in the sky
Nothing lives here and no one comes here anymore

Redesign me
I lost your grip
Peeled apart by the owned
Stick beside me on the road
Redesign me
I lost my grip
Peeled apart by the owned
Stick beside me on the road

She winks and glows
If I could run from this I swear I'd take you with me
But this place has got the best of us again
And it wont just go away
We're diving in with our hearts and halfmast and there's nothing left to say

Redesign me
I lost your grip
Peeled apart by the owned
Stick beside me on the road
Redesign me
I lost your grip
Peeled apart by the owned
Stick beside me on the road

Keep rolling in

She Calls Home

I've got such a filthy heart
Sometimes
When you take me to that place
And I never wanna leave
In the middle of the night
When everyone is sound asleep
Where will you be
You'll be waiting with a gasmask in the dark

I can't stop myself
She calls home when I'm not there so I wont freeze
I need to learn how to breathe when I'm inside you

Sever the ripcord
Sever it
I drift away
Away

Further down
Inside it gets so fucking cold
I come to you to feel helpless
Further down
You know it's hard to free myself and you
Just keep on driving until its over
Until they swallow every last drop of me and you

I need to learn how to breathe
I need to learn how to breathe
I need to learn how to breathe
I need to learn how to breathe

Further down
I reach inside
Further down
I can't hide
I tried to show you that there's nothing you can take away from me

Nothing you can take away from me
Nothing you can take away from me

Kill me
You're such a beautiful liar
Take me to the place where I'm king
Nothing just like the way that you wanted
When you left me behind

Last American Cowboy

Brace yourself for the plight of the born
As the spotlight strips you bare
Just a useless act in the play of life
Cast as the role of the lover
And I feel slightly misplaced in a world of fuck or be fucked

Kill the lights
Letch
One more time and say it like you mean it
Lush
One more time and tell it like you feel it
Lover
You've got talent but I just don't see it

Wrap your hook around my neck and get me off
Get me off
Get me off your stage

In every coma lover's kiss collides with truth
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise
And I know
Disguise the lies that you fed me last night these plots are breeding grounds
For nothing but the worst
And nothing could be worse and I know why

And what do I have left
The composer just went deaf
The singer lost his breath
In the glow of the crowd
The dancer's on a crutch
The writer drank too much
The director lost his touch
In the glow of the crowd

Can you resist the urge to burn the script we wrote
Bring on the flood before we choke
Applause engulfs the room
We bow into out tombs
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
This is all you need

My love
It follows you to your grave
To your grave
And I know
My love
It follows you to your grave
To your grave

Daylight Bombings

The air raids at night are keeping things serene
The president's men are closing in on me
And the crosshair grin you hold me in still does not propose an argument convincing me to shed the devil's clothes

Electrodes to spine
Tongeuing my wounds clean
That's where the nightmare stops
Oh yeah I had a dream I had a dream
It went shackled to the lover of another in a chapel so pristine
Baptisted as atheists yea
I never felt so clean

The more I hear doves cry the less I want to fly
The more I hear them crying out

When does the seizure end
When does the cyanide kick in
I'd like to hike you up over this waste of love and back again
Oh my mistress sweet distress your dress is bringing it all back to me
We are closer then whores caught up in a roundabout in hell

Twilight isn't in the dark on this one you can play me out on the hotel floor
Twilight isn't in the dark on this one you can play me out

The more I hear doves cry the less I want to fly
The more I hear those doves crying

This is where the plot it thickens
Not behind the ribs but below the truth
You can use your sleuth cause I'm begging for proof
This is where the plot it thickens
Not behind the ribs but below the truth
You can use your sleuth cause I'm begging for proof
Begging for proof

When does the seizure end
When does the cyanide kick in
I'd like to hike you up over this waste of love and back again
Oh my mistress whoah sweet distress your dress is bringing it all back to me
And we are closer then whores caught up in a roundabout

No need to run away
The pig was snuffed and laid
We say this happening all on the front page
This is the last time we bet on landmines

We've got a lot riding on this one
So save your bullets for the call back
We've got a lot riding on this one
Don't turn your back till you see the blood flow black

Millionaires

We fall asleep on the runway underneath the neon crucifix
Where they left the light on for us tonight
Fed myself to the sickness and purge myself to the cure
We watch the nurses pace the cage

You and I we're never gonna die
Never gonna die in the white lights
You and I are never gonna die

Servants suffocate the king
We've come to take what we don't need
And build a prison where cathedrals used to be
We burn every office zombies prowl through the school chanting
This is ours to love and take apart at will

Here we are right now
Here we are right now
These wires there woven webs conceal the blueprints from me
Here we are right now
Sometimes we kill the lights
Pretend that we survived

We're never gonna die
We're never gonna die
We're never gonna die
We're never gonna die

With An Urgency

Hey you young love don't let them cut out your tongue
Swallow the key to your heart and smile through your teeth
Hey you young love don't let them cut out your tongue
It's only over when we choose to forgive them

Give me your hand when no one else understands
The day the hostages are making demands
We gave ourselves when there was nobody else
We found what we were looking for in the summer

I never begged to be immune to love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you when you told me I was ruined
And if the sun comes up again I'll be waiting for the others to come in
And they'll never take us alive

And they can never take away what keeps you safe
When you're afraid to lose it all
Just love and nothing more until we love nothing more
Until we love

I never begged to be immune to love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you when you told me I was ruined

Hey you young love and all that's left of us
Hey you young love
Hey you young love and all that's left of us
Hey you young love

I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore

I see right through you when you sing it back to me
I read the fine print and I saw you staggering
Regurgitate the shit you find in the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind
Congradulate the corpse you drag put the money in the body bag
Right in front of us

The stop and start machine
You've been singing with the liar's tongue
With every crippled word you said to me
With every fractured breath and broken glare you were pawning off your babies' debt with a cold paycheck

Abandon what you built
Repair your hope with guilt
There's nothing left here to suffocate
With razor wire arms you reach and miss the throat
There's nothing left to love about this city anymore
The politics and the hired whore

Now
Save your breath
Now
Into your mouth
Did this to yourself
You can't repair the punctured lung
Secrets seep through the stress cracks
Shut your mouth
I read the fine print
Now
Shut your mouth
You did this to yourself
Now shut your mouth and pay the rent

Shut your mouth and pay the rent

You say it like your life depends on believing your own lie
You say it like your life depends on believing your own lie
I see right though you when you sing it when you sing it
I see right through you when you sing it sing it back to me

Now say it like your life depends on believing in your own lie
Now say it like your life depends on believing in your own lie
