Pearl of Great Price

it's like crashing a bike
you can't forget what it feels like
think you know how to go
but suddenly you're not upright
you're asleep on the road
and you're blocking the view from the headlights
and what d'you know
head on into traffic
oblivious to it, oblivious to it
oblivious to it, oblivious to it
in love, i fucking told you not to
and what d'you do? pearl of great price
so annoyed, sick of you crossing the line
what a joy, what a good goddamn
made good on a gift
before i ventured into it
it's the ugliest bit
only do it unwarranted
such a shitty response
am i supposed to get over it?
didn't want me to sing
never wanted
oblivious to it, oblivious to it
oblivious to it, oblivious to it
in love, i fucking told you not to
and what d'you do? pearl of great price
so annoyed, sick of you crossing the line
what a joy, what a good goddamn

Chemical Bodies

you don't love being this indiscreet, fleeting or youthful though you may be
i kept the other room and i slept in and i felt like
anything could happen if i opened my eyes to see
you pretending to be asleep, dreaming about me
i got another headache from riding around at night
now i know why
nobody can see me in the subway car if i close my eyes
i am not overly insecure, chemical bodies to blame for sure
it's just my own went and recycled all the old shit
on the very idea that you might move on from her
went and pretended to be the one, like it was about us
we land in second position on a metal barre
now i know why
nobody can see me in the subway car if i close my eyes
i am not overly insecure, chemical bodies to blame for sure

Caught Up

a body without knives, strapped to the bed with a good idea in mind
she looks at me like she's never seen anything quite that nice
and i've never been that aware of what's mine and what's never gonna be mine
bruised bad without cause, made an excuse with a good idea in mind of why not
clumsy as hell, wanting to tell her i liked it knowing i'm better off
that i've never been that aware of what's mine and what's never gonna be mine
and i got up early and i waited for her to get up
i told myself that i've never once fallen in love
and i'm never gonna get, and i'm never gonna get
and i'm never gonna get caught up
and what's never gonna be mine
and i got up early and i waited for her to get up
i told myself that i've never once fallen in love
and i'm never gonna get, and i'm never gonna get
and i'm never gonna get caught up

someday i'll fall in love with a boy who doesn't make me think of you
i've got a standard of living i keep if i have to
and when i fell in love with saint sebastian, i knew what i would have to do
stopped wearing shirts, started feeling out of fashion, got shot through
every time i hear the echoplex, the echoplex,
i am afraid of whatever comes next
and i think of you falling apart in my absence
think about running through whatever exit i find
jesus christ, i am losing my mind
hoping i'll get destroyed when you find some free time
if i take a look at what we came to, i assume that it won't do
you'll have a crisis of conscience too foolproof to soldier through
and when i fell in love with saint sebastian, i knew what you were gonna say
i was never gonna get called in to the child faith
every time i hear the echoplex, the echoplex,
i am afraid of whatever comes next
and i think of you falling apart in my absence
think about running through whatever exit i find
jesus christ, i am losing my mind
hoping i'll get destroyed when you find some free time
if you call me tomorrow, i will be better to you than i am
if you wanna get better, we can start hatching an idiot plan
call me tomorrow, call me tomorrow, tomorrow at five
if you wanna get better you don't start, you don't eat the new normal alive
every time i hear the echoplex, the echoplex,
i am afraid of whatever comes next
and i think of you falling apart in my absence
think about running through whatever exit i find
jesus christ, i am losing my mind
hoping i'll get destroyed when you find some free time

Better Than Before
01:31

you broke up with my girlfriend
acting all magnanimous
like you know what it's for
i'll move out of your basement
back into the drugstore
leave with what i came with
haven't got the patience
can't do that anymore
mute notifications
keeping me awake at night
without any recourse
if you don't ghost me next then
i can be an exorcist
cleaning all your messes
leave the room you enter
better than before
& i don't wanna get you in trouble
but i can't keep letting you off the hook
been a bad liar so long, i can't get it wrong
my hands are an open book
i broke up with my girlfriend
acting all delirious
as if i didn't know
if you don't ghost me next then
i might live inside of it
haunt an empty basement
leave the room you enter
better when you go
