The body of the muse
And X’s for the knife
Cut, cut and cut away
And peel for sincerity
New age definition
Bleach the sun with pride
Lift and tuck for goodness sake
Botch with integrity
You said, you said
That beggars can’t be choosers
Where is the line for refusers?
You said, you said
That this is for the future
This a prom for uncrowned losers
Homewreckers coming home
Cue the captains of charades
Celebrate the youthful skin

Delirium

Let the glow take the body
You’ll get there soon
Find your peace of mind
On the moon
You worship all the chemicals
To numb this out
Find solace in the nothing
It’s nothing, it’s nothing
Head first into delirium
To numb this out
Find solace in the nothing
It’s nothing, It’s nothing
Run a nail against the pavement
It’s maroon
Scratch a scab to feel something now
That consumes
Dilate your eyes one time
It’s a ruse
You worship all the chemicals
To numb this out
Find solace in the nothing
It’s nothing, it’s nothing
Head first into delirium
To numb this out
Find solace in the nothing
It’s nothing, It’s nothing
Dilate your eyes

Searching for soul in hotel rooms
You came so quickly
Now you don’t come at all
Don’t you wanna mark some time unsteady?
Bait the hungry wolf
Loyal to the flesh
Find yourself in predicaments
Fuck your way out with no evidence
The only comfort is that of your sin
They say hey pretty, you’re doing great
Find yourself in predicaments
Kill the lights in your personal prison
Larceny in your lungs
They stole a part of you
Sue is on your side
The copper savior

It’s the perfume
A poison floral trap for tired hearts
Smoke in the room to hide
The dirty teeth behind the pink disguise
Live a tabloid life without magazine death
All the pretty faces look the other way now
Latest and new doom scroll
Let us live and laugh and lust the day away
Checked out in blue to lie
Another signal lost to noisy minds
Live a tabloid life without magazine death
All the pretty faces look the other way now
We won’t speak your name — forgotten yesterday
All the pretty faces look the other way
And I descend
Willingly
Into the decoy
Live a tabloid life without magazine death
All the pretty faces look the other way now
We won’t speak your name — forgotten yesterday
All the pretty faces look the other way
Love will never be enough
More and more and more
