Well oiled machine
You’re told that this world has no extra parts
It’s fear that you’ll grow obsolete
I bring salvation
to those who sell themselves to “greater cause”
They promise you the “finer things”
They’ll find you fantastic
I swear to you that
I will never tell a lie at all
You’ll find it fantastic
Just swear to me that
You will try to not seem so appalled
I say that I’m cancer to you
You got some guts to believe
That you’re not leaving anytime soon
Come hither here
I’ll promise you
Diamond rings
Just let
me fool myself
Into thinking else
Tears will bring pain
I’ll promise you
There’ll be blood
Just let
me fool myself
into thinking else
Ah it feels so warm
The comfort of my own head
I’m letting you inside
I’ve just come to terms
That it’s a little messy
But a place you can confide
Just stick close to me
I’ll bring you poison drinks
That will make you blush inside
Loosened by the seams
We’re yelling at each other
For things we can’t confide
Come hither here
I’ll promise you
I’ll be sober
Just let
me hold you tight
Till it’s over

Hold me tight when I'm in blight
I know to you, I'm a tad bit dramatic
Just show me the happy magic
On disease with vaccine
A formula for euphoria
I'm disaster area
Patients losing patience for sober thoughts
Cut me open then you’ll see the toxins in my veins
It’s all the stuff they put inside of my brain
Don’t dare say that when you are such mentally aligned
I know you are functioning just as God designed
Killing seconds, saving minutes
Lasting hours, stillness is the cure
When I close my eyes
I can see in all directions
The city lights behind
I am flying high above
When I shut my mouth
I can hear your fading heart beat
I’m slowly losing you
I swear I’ll never lose
Pace yourself you’re getting
way too scarily pale
This is not the same old
children’s fairy tale
Give me a hero
And I’ll write a tragedy
All to us, I toast
To our mutual destruction

Same old stories
Heard before
Same old lullabies
I adore
And dreamers and thinkers
They all go to bed
But I lie here instead
Eyes weigh heavy
Breathe in deeper
slow and steady
Rest grows bleaker
And writers and singers
They all hum a tune
All to the shining moon
55 types of blue
One ear on the ground
Look up you are found
68 days till truth
Send me rescue
Sing me harmony
My mind’s racing
Going on frantic pacing
Making detailed tracings
With some fearful bracing
And wishers, believers
They all give their faith
Their sleep they create

Speaking one word in a line
Is that your mother tongue?
Heavy accents give it away
You’re not from here, son?
Strange new shapes fill up my eyes
A foreign land with an outsider guise
And no contacts to reply
Travel light
Catch your flight
Motherland calls
Childhood memories that you never had
Color me
So intrigued
Adventure waits
Alone in a world that you’re craving bad
Taking step at a time
Is that your own resolve?
Disheveled looks give it away
Welcome to your home
Sell me on my brand new life
I’ve wanted to connect with my brothers and sisters
Tell me I have no inner strife
I’ve wanted to meet the parts that barely missed us

Tell me I'm fine
With wines
You're so expertly designed
To my eyes
I fancy more a taste
Tell me I'm lewd
With foods
You're so carefully glued
To my skin
I think I made my case
You smell like cigarette smoke
You taste so wrong, I'm sure
I'm just scared that what I reap is what I sow
Slow down
There is nothing that will calm me this long, you're sure
You're just trying to make me play along
Slow down
I am drowning in the well
Tell me we're cool
Don't fool
I'm so devilishly cruel
To my eyes
Don't think that I'm a fool
Tell me a lie
Don't cry
You think that you're very sly
To my ears
Don't even think to try
You taste like cigarette smoke, I'm sure
I'm just screaming like the last time that we spoke
Slow down
There is nothing that will make me change my mind, you're sure
You'll be good enough if I give you enough time
Slow down
I am drowning in your spell
Maybe if we step away from this all
It will be alright
Now sing me lullabies to sleep through to the end of night
Maybe if we take a break from all this
It will be all fine
They'll pour more soju and beer for us to pass the time
I'm sleeping in some stranger beds that aren't mine
Wide eye wake
(Happy feelings)
Some stranger beds that aren't comforting to me
I'll turn around to see you laying by my side
Some stranger beds that aren't familiar to see
I'll whisper sweet nothings before good bye
(Happy feelings)
