Birds of prey


we havent burned these bridges for the last time so i'll get the gas,
you bring the matches.
we can dowse these threads on our backs.
no longer birds of prey we are just fuel for this fire.
this is gone...it feels so wrong yet sometimes it feels so right.
this is gone on for to long baby.
i broke your heart when the winds go colder,
broke my neck explaining things i cant explain.
back and forth,
its always back and forth when it comes to you and i.

Clavicle


with eyes so stunning tonight,
you know that you could stop their hearts
so becareful not to kill yourself with the reflecting images in your room.
and i will lose you in the emptiest of places
so long as you cross your heart that this planets still spinning
and will you whisper into my ear when we are all just emptier now.
i will lose you in the emptiest of places
and i will stare at you with the blankest of stares.
i never thought you would hear me say...i never thought i'd say this.
right now you mean everything to me, sometimes your all that i have...
so hold on to the times we've got.
sometimes this life makes me feel just like i could die right now without you.
but theres something about me like theres something about your skin.
it cant always be there for you
but in the coldest of nights it will keep you warm.

Hammer strong



so hear its your last chance to apologies for all the things i've done wrong and all these walks i walked alone and all these terrifying nights i spent alot and you know that if i had it all, every breath of your whispers good night, i would trade it all for the wind to sting our blood shot eyes and sweep us off our tired feet and spins us around so we can see if we're just walking circles it gets cold on the shore and i'm not sure it gets much better where we are going so buckle up lock your door because here on out i'm driving and i've got the radio tuned to the last stationg you cried to well baby it gets warm tonight thats when you say we'll bury the hatchet now well theres a soft spot in my spine with your first through these walks and your bones through flesh take a look at the mess we made

My sweet explosion



last night with you was like waking up with my wrists open and last night with you was like waking up again and the tap water was anything but fridgid you owe me more than i can count on these two hands the tap water was anything but frost bitten and you now owe me your very life so i'll scream to the station master "let these hearts pump a little faster" because we could all use something more and i'll scream to the station master and break his arms just alittle faster cause all i ever wanted was to tell you that i worry and i'm not certain that i can make it through this week without you im not certain that i can take on this world with out you this could be your once in a life time come on and break me down

Something isn't right


as these embers move so close to me,
closer to my skin and setting me in flames.
as these embers plague my lungs,
stealing breathes from me and turning my lungs black and blue.
now the echo it cuts through me like
the stare upon your face the day you found out.
now the echo it cuts through me
like the pulse of your beating heart the day you found.
and all i ever wanted was to break these two lungs in.
gotta get them use to breathing, gotta get them use to bleeding.
gotta get this neck use to your cold hands.
we've got the bright lights shining, the waves are breaking.
i always do something drastic to keep you shaking
and then we start it all over again.
if i broke free tomorrow would you be there to search for the moments lost.
if i could die tonight then i would.
it wouldnt be at your lose.

Taste the mercury



we're driving past unspoiled road signs gleaming in the moon light to trace edge of that bitter sweet coastline thats keeps us captive by our pupils again captive 'til we get home and baby i know that you haven't seen sleep since ive been gone but i'll keep my promises to you and wake up alone 'til we're there this isn't at all like wind biting our face this isn't at all like winter not at all now the coal burns red and warming every inch of our chests again now the coal burns red its our reminder that this kiss goes on with or without you so stop trying to pretend that you don't love the taste of mercury from my lips eating and beating its way through your veins

Teddy Duchamp is no loony


can you atleast respect this time of silence
because your the one who killed me after all.
bolted to the ceiling and im blinded as you pick at my flesh.
only you hear these voices and only you can hear me cry.
i would sacrifice endless warm nights to see you shattered.
i would sacrifice endless warm nights to see you torn apart.
i will reach for my one and only so i will never be alone again.

The pieces we keep



as your lips turn blue it only reminds me i'm not free from your nightmare that i'm living in when grey skys turn blue i'm holding on to every scream trying to wake you will you wake up now? cut up on the floor your arms hold on to me some how but thats all you'll get for now we cant pretend that this is... and as you turn cold and hold on to me this night because the ground will only break you like morning skys feeled with glimmering sunrise i'd let you go if i knew that it would break you as your lips turn every shade of blue confusing everyone you look at can you hear me now screaming out your name i wont give up on this grey night its the pieces that we keep for ourselves when his lips wont do keep mine in mind its gonna take time but im gonna be fine when his lips wont do keep mine in mind its gonna take time im gonna be just fine if only you could mean more to me if only i could keep cool headed its the pieces we keep for ourselves

Their lovers fall


sitting here alone at this one stop train station
with nothing to keep my mind at bay
but the smiles on stranger's faces and the moment when i saw your eyes
peering through that frosted window
i swear i felt this scarf tighten around my neck
and now it seems that i dont even have to try to keep your little mouth shut
and you know that i would do almost anything just to hear you scream
and break this haunting silence at the top of your lungs
but breaking the silence with you is like pulling my teeth out
so we are spending this years holidays alone nothing left to keep us warm
but the fire that burns in our guts
and we can count the doves as one by one their lovers fall,
crashing into the ground..exploding in the air,
as the earth opens up beneath to swallow their empty corpses.

When hearts were gold


we were never ones to give it all up and just let go
and no matter what i cant help but think of when our hearts were gold.
i remember that new morning when the sun never came up.
i remember that look in your eyes, remember tha look in my eyes.
thats when you thought you lost it all.
ive been doing some thinking,
im sick of hearing my favorite songs play on your stero.
well every rock seemed to fall into place and just where we wanted them to.
those steps were as rusty as our perception of days ahead.
sometimes we cant stop the wind from changing
and darlying it will be alright if we give it a good fight
because somethings are worth holding on to forever,
like autumn nights, we cant let this end.
