1. CHEMICAL KIDS AND MECHANICAL BRIDES

Like a rush shot through you
Everyone is watching you

Told you why I see no need for the sun
(I've found a reason to say)
A love you light is a love soon gone
If this is it
Don't bother cause this love is a lie
I'm a chemical kid
You're a mechanical bride

(When every vein is red out of the blue)
I held a diamond to the sun
To count the moments on account of the way you
Smile, smile for me
(Oh, we're in slow motion when you)
Smile, smile for me

But, oh my God, I've been looking
But I still hold your breath so you won't leave
Pastel-red and porn star-white
Ghost on the altar
We breathe, don't leave

Say that the night sings alone
And if there's a God
Then I'm letting Him go
All for you, you alone
Raise my hands
At the thought of you leaving me alone

What if I... what if I...
What if I, I still care?

Don't torture me or beg me
Can you make me believe in tiring?
As you fall fast asleep, it reminds me
Of the slow symphonies behind me
(They sing along)

All the nightmares you'll see tomorrow
All the stars on your ceiling
They glow but not for you
Through the trees, I'll blow


2. CURRENTS CONVULSIVE

(So long!)

Congratulations, break a leg tonight
What a shame I heard the understudy died under the knife
Crying backwards under bedroom lights
(The operation)

I don't think you'll ever want to love me
You'd better listen to your doctor, doctor
Sober up and bury the empty cup
In a backyard of Seattle we used to lie

When I sew you up, don't let me...
Stop bleeding
Tiny stitches that you placed into my skin
Won't let me go (Oh no, oh no)
And they're ruining the mood

So I'll toast every beat of my heart like a miracle

And I don't think you'll ever want to love me
You'd better listen to your doctor
Doctors lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
If the dollar is right
Oh, my sweet little girl
Hold your mouth and you'll be all right

(Gather round, gather round!)
Ladies and gentlemen
Come from far come from wide
The moment you've all been waiting for
Tonight, join us as we explore the spine-chilling mystery of death
And the miracle of resurrection!

Please understand me when I'd rather see you dead
Than live without me, so thirsty for more

Beyond the sea blue light
I met the love of my life
She'd rather see me dead than face me
I like your starry eyes
They yell, "Surprise, surprise!"
I'm in love, but not for long

(Our operation)
Call off the operation
(Our operation)
Call off, off, off...

Another wave has turned its back on me
Crashed back on the eyes of the first I see
(If your delicate eyes don't blink someday)
Can't count on anything
(They might as well be gone)
For you I'd count the salt under the sea


3. YEAH BOY AND DOLL FACE

Were you honest when you said,
"I could never leave your bed",
Wake me up and let me know you're alive
And will you fall in love again?
Is the scent slowly spreading?
I've been answering machines all night

And are the doctors dancing in
While the ambulances sing?
Another boy without a sharper knife...

The moment that's where I
Kill the conversation, wrap this up
With a knife that loves to feel
How do you know how deep to go before it's real?

(Take me home)
Can I even complicate your breathing?
I guess I'm just your average boy
This is me with a knife in the back
And a grip on the grass
It's cold and I don't want to be here
I guess I'm never comfortable or situational

Are we losing or beginning
To try a new life without you?

The moment that's where I
Kill the conversation, wrap this up
With a lie that I'm enjoying every minute with myself
And she could make hell feel just like home
So I'm never leaving her alone
But if your lightning lips aren't mine
Then I don't know the awkward stranger to my right
(But she's crying)

I only need one hand to drive
When you're with me
You are my getaway
Oh, no!

And don't you ever feel alone? And don't you wish you were home?
Cut the lust tonight; all right, all right
Tell me why my little Mona Lisa told a lie, lie, lie, lie
Do you want me? Do you want to let me know that you're okay?
A diamond gold ring customized to cut your circulation
But I couldn't let you go; no, I'd never let you go my dear
So keep talking 'cause I love to hear your voice
(Love to hear your voice, love to hear your...)
Voice again


4. I'D RATHER DIE THAN BE FAMOUS

(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
Come on Holly, put the gun down for me
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You love money and the sex in your veins
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
They're trying to take it from us
They're trying to take it from us
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You're so pretty when you dress for the grave

Love me as you lay
Dizzy and falling, your legs dangling
Although accidents happen
They happen to me
Try to forget the beginning and end

Forget the world
Without removing the glass from your lips

(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You love money and the sex in your veins
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
They're trying to take it from us
They're trying to take it from us
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
The sun's coming up and we're still awake

Am I the trigger of your gun?
Your pretty eyes don't give me much choice but
I'll take them home
I've done some thinking of my own
And when I come home, I want to be done
Don't want to be famous no more

Leave that girl alone

My teenage heart-attack keeps talking back
Keeps talking back to her
And I can't pretend that off this balcony
We wouldn't want to jump off of it
And put an end to this

(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You love money and the sex in your veins
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)

Yeah!
Doll up and sleep walk
Until we have some teeth marks
Narcotic sweet talk
Until we have some teeth marks
This whole place is gonna burn


5. CHEAP BOUQUET

Stay young and at the top of our lungs
Our hands are free
Our lives have just begun

It's getting dark, we should go back
But what's the use if what you love is what you have?
And I could die right now
For something beautiful to take me somewhere else

Oh, I try to calm down
As I drag myself along these severed hands
(Severed hands) Are doing the very best they can

I'm gonna buy a cheap bouquet
Before it dies on the display
(Gonna break down)
Break down the better side of me
(The better side of me)

Well I know, I know if I die young
Then we can wake up screaming in your bed
And our lungs are begging us to calm down

And I scare myself with all that talk of severing
Doing the best or so it seems
(You've been mistaken)
Your finger's on the scale
(Burn like you never have before
Stop, drop and roll don't work in hell)
So what if I forget regret?
So what if I...
So what if I forget regret?
So what if I...
So what if I...
So what if I...
So what if I...

I want you to know that I...
That I've wrote this line a thousand times
Yeah
Forget regret

This must be the way it ends

Calm down as I drag myself along
These severed hands are doing the very best they can
As I drive my car into the sea
(I taste you like a hammer through my teeth)
Will someone tell me what it means to be alive?
It feels just like the feeling when you die

Oh, all right, I'm dead and I don't care if it's cold outside anymore
So come on, let's have some fucking fun


6. FALLING ASLEEP ON A STRANGER

Well, you know that I'm cold
Black on constellations gold
And you know that your soul's
Black top under lacing won't let it go
It was all for you, all for you and more
She won't chase him anymore

To the end, never leave
Fall asleep on the first I face
And they say play the game
You and me found love
Lost under the shade

Well, you know I'm a ghost
Pull the note out of my throat
And leave me alone
But it's all for you, all for you and more
He won't take her anymore

To the end, never leave
Fall asleep on the first I face
And they say play the game
You and me found love
Lost under the shade, yeah

Come back to my heart
Come back to my heart
Come back tonight, tonight
Come back to my heart
(I don't care)
Come back to my heart
(I don't care)
Come back tonight, tonight


7. SHE SINGS IN THE MORNING

Wake up!
A voice hits the air on a lonely coast
And I'll sing along like a prayer for you
I can dream up the words

(I'll never see your face again)
If we wake at, if we wake at all
She sings to me
If we wake at, if we wake at all
(If we wake at all, if we wake at all)

We'll try to change
They say love will never mean a thing
Still our hearts beat
So come on

So stuck on the only thing that we know
What we know starts to waste

If we wake at, if we wake at all
She sings to me (Can we be sure?)
If we wake at, if we wake at all

Oh my God


8. BALCONY SCENE

Don't react when I tell you...
And don't react when I tell you...
That bright lights mean nothing to you
'Cause no one would know the sound of a ghost
And I might be something to you
Beyond beautiful is the sound of a ghost

Can we lose our minds
And call it love for the last time?
(Yeah)
My darling never rest
Until the darker gets
The best of all we had
Can the cold carry on?

When the light means nothing to you
Then no one would know
The sound of a ghost
And I might be perfect with you
But no one would know
So tell me, tell me

Have you ever really danced on the edge?
Is something still scaring you?
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
The count of three is up
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
All right, then, tell me so
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
Just hold my hand and jump

And bright lights mean nothing to you
'Cause no one would know the sound of a ghost
Oh, no one would know the sound of a ghost


9. DRELLA

You're busy drawing hearts

You run your fingers down the glass
An open mirror
Now you're sleeping in the front seat
Like a crushed leaf on the concrete night

Murder ring
What are you talking about?
Murder ring
And how did you get into my house?
I think you buried me too deep
You had your way
(Your way...)

You almost seem alive

But I've been driving you around
I didn't think it could have lasted
Now we broke another bracelet
(Broke another bracelet)
Tore it off your wrist tonight

Tonight the center of the sun
Will separate in sparks
They're climbing up the sky and down the dark

Do you think you'd better love me back?
You said you want someone who actually cares
But I'll say what I want 'cause nobody's around when I talk
It feels better to fall asleep alone 'cause that's the only way I know

But I've been driving you around
I didn't think it could have lasted
Now we broke another bracelet
(Broke another bracelet)
Tore it off your wrist tonight
And now that Cinderella's gone
She swallowed up the sun
A middle-class explosion could be nice
If we're the dynamite

(Let us prey)
Don't you miss me
Or the night we snuck out your window?
Oh, 'cause baby, baby, you're so crazy now
Looks like I'm not the only one now
And I can finally see the light
Oh, there's a million stars tonight

A single one could save my life
Red water leaves us as we collide

Drella! Drella!

Red water leaves us and I just drive


10. DIAMONDS AND WHY MEN BUY THEM

Oh no, here we go again
I look to receive what the earth and sea
Had thought it'd be best not to even give me
Even give me

Now you say that I never bother you
The way he did (Now open eyes)
Now I saw the moon divorce the sky
Is this what it's like? (Don't run)

Spell out... spell out...
Spell out to me, babe

So every week, we'll meet
A bed for the backseat
A love-drunk memory
But such a beautiful routine

Now you say that I never bother you
The way he did (Now open eyes)
Now I saw the moon divorce the sky tonight
This remedy is worse than the disease
And slowly killing me

We like to run our blood thin
And laugh at things we never did
We like to run our blood thin
And laugh at things...
Resay, say hello
Resay, say hello
(We like to run our blood thin)
Resay, say hello
(We like to run our blood thin)
Resay...

Now, you say, "We're better off that way."
Now I saw the moon divorce the sky
Is this what it's like?


11. WONDERLESS

I don't care if your beautiful lips
Exist out there 'cause I'm wonderless
Why the best can't make it in Hollywood
No more

It's like a long drag taken
Before the smoke hits the white sky
(Like the birds at night)
And it's fake just like the movies
Oh yeah

And I can't wait just to see you again
And your two faces are locked on mine
Had the worst time chasing the thought away
No hope (Oh no home)

Because maybe I'm a fake
Maybe you're to blame
Maybe I'm a star
(Stumbling drunk light)
My mistakes I've made won't leave me alone
Oh no

And if you don't find me on the front page
Find a way to say that you saw me
And if you don't find me in a movie
Find a way to say that you knew me
And if you don't find me on the front page
(You and I got lost along the way)
Find a way to say that you saw me
(But this will end some day some way)

And if you don't find me at all
Then I won't care

(Oh, yeah)
If I could find a place for the holiday
Maybe I would call
You're a payphone away
From the mess that I've become
I'm destroying what I love
