She Makes Dirty Words Sound Pretty (feat. Jonny Craig; iTunes bonus track)
. . .


You're my favorite explosion.

(you know the only real way to cure pain is to add a little more, because everything new distracts the old)

A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no words.
A drowning boy with no voice prays
someone out there's telling me,
"You'd better not get back up!"
I spit my heart into this red cup.
I better pick it back up, it might ruin your night.

And she said, "Baby leave the water by the bed for later"
,And I woke up without a single drop.
I told myself

I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and Be satisfied,
if all you have is not enough.

(true love comes from more than just the heart)

She said paint a picture on me.
throw your dress up and your heart away
Yeah I heard what you said.
,no, A friend of a friend
these strangers at the party never paid.
And if that doesnt turn you on.
I'll keep talking till something does.
as we're covered in sand you roll over and smile.

I told myself
I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied its all you have.

And until that day
I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.
Red rose of the dead.
How does it feel to breath oxygen inside her head?

So say it,
say I'm in love
because you called me crying from your job
said you just got fired.
And you don't have a backup plan.
so don't expect me to understand.

A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco.

(yeah, alright)

We all breakdown!
Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends.
But they were there from beginning to end.

I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied its all you have.

You know I've never held a gun in my life.
But now I carry one around in case I see you tonight.
Bedroom walls,
oh these bedroom walls.
I hate what it tastes like.

Please keep chasing me.
You southern constellations got me so dizzy.
It's cold, but you pretend that you are warm with me.
Before I get you home you're nearly frozen.
But, I'll never let you freeze without me.
Oh, no.

. . .


Freeze, it's time to take you home
It feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door
Now our lips are numb as we walk sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer
I hope you like the stars I stole for you
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue
I'll be the brightest someday, I'll be the brightest you'll see
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun
Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky
We bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways
And I ask myself, why do I still pray
When will it end
And who fucking cares
I swear to God I did what I could
I practically begged you
I pretended everything was fine
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare
I'd rather be dead
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head
I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom
You barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea
I guess I never should have loved you
But I do forever because you loved me
And I break my glasses as I fall in the street
If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste
Because without you there is no me
There's no me at all
Sometimes love dies like a dog
So why don't we just let this one take care of itself
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon dreams
I'm losing a perfect thing

. . .


Sunshine,
There ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night
But there's just something about this dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy
Licking your fingers like you're done and you've decided there is so much more than me
And baby honestly it's harder breathing next to you I shake
I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me
Hold my heart it's beating for you anyway

What if I can't forget you
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole

Nobody prays for the heartless
Nobody gives another penny for the selfish
You're learning how to taste what you kill now
Don't mind me, I'm just reaching for your necklace
Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas

What if I can't forget you
'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole

Just give her back to me
You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need so baby what if I can't forget you
Collide invisible lips like a shadow on the wall
And just throw, oh no

You can't just throw me away

So what if I can't forget you
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
What's so good about picking up the pieces
What if I don't even want to
I'd better learn to live alone

I was saving myself for you.
I was saving myself for you.
I was saving myself for you.

Tonight we'll be throwing a party.
Under the sunset we started to drink.
A little faster now.
This celebration, so many faces.
I say the words as the moon painted us blue

I've been saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you,
Now brother bring that beat back.

Now hold on, this is innocent blood,
all the beach boys look like sharks,
Because without you nothing ever mattered.
I scream and wave my arms, but you understand me.
Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over.
If I die, you die, too.

Because I'm saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
I just wanted one dance with you.
one night under the smoke alarm,
every single door in this house is on fire!

So, melodramatic but it turns me on.
I close my eyes it feels just like a movie.
I'm convinced that we don't make sense.
But, I'd kill anyone who gets close.

I've been saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
The sharpest thing I find for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I saved myself for you.
Don't you know I'd die for you.
I saved myself for you.without you what's the point

Drag my hand behind you like a chain behind a truck.
Sparks over your carpet while I chase you through the darkness.
Somebody's supposed to fall in love, but nobody even calls.

Somebody's supposed to tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait.
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay.

Summer and gold throw their colors at the dock.
A mother tells her son, darling look at the sparks.
but you hold my attention without even trying.
A beautiful reflection from firework eyes.
But, never means forever.
Desperation, and hanging in the backyard at night.

Somebody's supposed to fall in love.
Tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silenty I wait.
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay.

Love, Don't forget to bleed so slowly.
Haunted hearts we melt over the fabric of your floor
I'm holding her just like she's gold, but I've been running from the sun.
Oh, no, no.
And if I ever catch the ones who hurt you.
I, I'm hoping that God looks away this time.
So, why would I let you go?
Why would I let you go?

Tear apart this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait.
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay.

I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights.
We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights.
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone.
So don't don't wake me up, because my thrill is gone.(say im wrong)
in the sunset turning red behind the smoke.
Forever and alone.
Yeah.

You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me
will never leave my lips again, under the blinding rain.
I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrist,
And when the vultures sing tonight, I'm gonna join right in.

I'll sing along,
'Cause I don't know any other song
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barely hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.
And now there's nothing to do, but scream at the drunken moon

This isn't fair, no, don't you try to blame this on me.
My love for you was bulletproof, but your the one who shot me.
And goddamn it, I can barely say your name.
So I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink.
Woah. Oh.
But, don't just say it, you should sing my name.
Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours.
And we can sing this on the way home.

I'll sing along,
'Cause I don't know any other song
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barely hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.
But there's nothing to do, but tear my lies apart.
There's nothing to dobut tear my voice apart and scream at the drunken moon

Waking up your neighbors downstairs
Ive been inside your bedroom a thousand years.
And as you tie me to the bed for good I say,
That I want you in the most unromantic ways.
Louisiana, You're torturing me with a beautiful face.
Ana come on, I thought we had a damn good thing.
A penny in the couch and a diamond ring.

So, baby, stay away from my friends.
Cause I need them to carry me when it's over.
I'll count back from ten and you can listen to glass hearts shattering.

I don't know how you got into me
down my throat and made a home in my veins
They used to be the rivers that would take us away.
But now you only call me every Christmas and my birthday.
I still can't believe how you look next to me.
Just like a strip club bedroom scene.

Baby, stay away from my friends.
Cause I need them to carry me when it's over.
I'll count back from ten and you can
Listen to something that you've never heard before.
Oh, never heard before.
Oh, never heard before.

But you don't know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night.
Scaring the thought of kissing razors.
This blood evacuation is telling me to cave in, stay away,
oh no, Just stay away from my friends.

Bury me in the bedroom where I can sing you to sleep all night.
Put me next to the open window, promise me a second time.
'Cause I don't wanna leave without you buried by my side.
I'd rather kill the one responsible for falling stars at night.
Cause they fall all around me.
The night can be deadly.

And they'll never take us alive.(Can you chase away the darkness?)
To live in love and die
Last night she recited every reason she's fine.
So if we're heading there together at the same time.
You sing while I drive.
move like a fugitive tonight

Dance on the ambulance.
because I would rather spend my life,
Vacations In bed with you like drunken summer kites.
And this is only a test.
Sober and scaring me to death

They'll never take us alive.(Can you chase away the darkness)
To live in love and die

And I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you're contagious.
I would kiss you even if you were dead.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life.
Because I'd do anything to hold your hand.

And I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you're contagious.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life.
'Cause I'd do anything, anything, anything.

They'll never take us alive.
'Cause I'll chase away the darkness.
I'll live in love and die
I joined the party for the recently blind
So if we're heading there together you can sing all night

I'm gonna tear out the thread one by one from your skin.
Till your bones feel embarrassed
Kiss me while I drive.

I laid down, I drank the poison then I passed the fuck out.
Now let me tell you about the good life.
I have a million different kinds of fun.
When I'm asleep and in a dream that I'm your only one.

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it,
Nobody knows I dream about it.
This is my imagination.

If you come over tonight, we can travel through time.
We can sleep on the ceiling and creep under black lights.
I have a million different girls that hide under my bed.
And when I let them out they treat me right.
Oh, what a waste of a perfectly good clean wrist.
You were screaming till the police came.

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it,
Nobody knows I dream about it.
This is my imagination.
If every living thing dies alone.
What am I doing here?
Every living thing dies alone.
What am I doing here?

(Fuck it)

If its the end of the world!
If its the end of the world!
You and me, Should spend the rest of it in love!

Can we create something beautiful and destroy it,
Nobody knows I dream about it.
This is my imagination.
If every living thing dies alone.
What am I doing here?
If every living thing dies alone.
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
Oh, no.

So what if I was just a painter, painting houses on the rich blue coast
Would you ever try to leave me for somebody who deserves you most,
Because darling I am just a painter.
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks.
I'm gonna make a million dollars, Because nobody's gonna steal you,
no, for diamonds and gold


I've broken bones for you, and for you only.
I make money, but we just can't keep this home.
Give me your heart and your hand.
And we can run, we can run, we can run baby, run now.
We can run, baby run.

She's like a bullet through an ocean.
I still remember how you moved so slow.
you tried to kill me with a shotgun.
Bang.now were even
We don't stop till someone's bleeding.

I've broken bones for you, and for you only.
I make money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand.
Then we can run, we can run, we can run baby, run now.
We can run, baby run, you're my hope

Permanately yours,
Sometimes, the moon looks brighter then the sun.
as times like this run up my wrists.
She hates all of the guts and blood.
Splash around with me.
While we move like flames on burning sheets.
And your doctor won't stop calling me her medication.
But baby no, sometimes things don't work out the way we planned,
To live is just to fall asleep.
To die is to awaken.

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love.
But, I'll fight for you till then,
And if they stole you from you me.
On my arm there's a tattoo of your name.

I've broken bones for you, and for you only.
i make money but fuck money,
We want love.
Give me your heart and your hand, and we can run.

I still remember the night you tried to kiss me through the window.
I tried to settle for the taste of touching glass over the sound of answering machines,
Because I love the way your voice says it's gonna get back to me someday.
As I brace my knees you hold me down with your eyes.

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes,
We'll swim in circles in the blue lights.
It's gonna be the best day of my life.
Oh my God, you'll never be as beautiful without me.
Beauty needs an animal to breathe.
And baby you'll be alright as long as I'm not.
So do that dance in the dark.
Sharpen your teeth and bite as hard as you want.

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes.
We'll swim in circles in the blue lights.
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea.
a million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean.
This is gonna be the best day of my life
A celebration of an ending.
Come on!

And do you really trust your tongue or did you bury the taste,
And is this fantasy real, or is it all home-made,
And did you call me last night just cause you couldn't get laid
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the Selfish Machine.

Do you think you're the only one! afraid!
Do you think you're the only one! afraid!
Do you think you're the only one afraid of this machine

And someday I'll drive, close both my eyes.
I'll be your breath if you can be mine,
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea.
A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean.

Oh, no.
Oh, no.
1, 2, 3, 4.
do you see me at all under the tall waves
do you see me at all.

If you call me at all
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read

Turn off this light, call my name
Don't talk, just ride
Who wouldn't let you be all about,
About me
I'm only trying to work this out

So, if you call me at all
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave.
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all

Oh, I hear you breathing on the line
Oh baby girl, I'm not your type
I'll leave you hurting every night
So I won't be coming back
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let you scream ohh to a soft pillow

I'm such an animal
And baby honestly these teeth won't let you go

Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all
If you call me at all
If you call me at all
If you call me at all
If you call me at all
