Wait This is all such a mess And I don’t want you to confess Anything Unideal When the veins are better concealed Stolen map Rest assured You won’t find what you’re looking for Draw some lines In the sand ‘Cause I’m not who I say I am I am lost, I’m a liar Selling truth as I work to conspire For your heart I will deceive With every word that you want to believe As a queen is a pawn As a quest is a con I’m not good, I’m not bad But I’m not who I say I am Wait Out of line, unprepared Wondering how you ended up here You should learn To forget And unburn your last cigarette Call it fear Call it fey Knowing now it’s better this way Broken keys Rest assured You won’t find who opens the door You can search every crack in the mirror And wonder how I could be so insincere But I hope that you’ll understand That I’m not who I say I am I am lost, I’m a liar Selling truth as I work to conspire For your heart I will deceive With every last word that you want to believe As a vice, as a sin, As a light to be dimmed Playing shadows that dance on the wall But if you look close you’ll see nothing at all So you really shouldn’t take my hand Because I am not who I say I am All I wanted was love But I can’t make the cells open up Something’s wrong inside my brain Faking the feelings that I can’t sustain You can pull back the skin But I promise I won’t let you in I am lost, I’m a child Selling youth as I work to connive And your heart I will betray With every last word that you’ll beg me to say Every queen is a pawn Every conquest a con I’m not good, I’m not bad But I am not who I say I am

A Part Of Me 04:56
(Relax…) I need some distraction here From the sun (So long…) I’m never returning here And all of the love you saw (You saw…) And treated so cavalier And all of the wherewithal (…withal…) And all we had persevered Fill this hole (this hole…) I need to reverse the light That you stole (you stole…) I wanted to say goodbye But something’s inside of me (you know…) That made me a mutineer It’s something you tried to keep (you know…) A violent souvenir I mean what I say It’s better this way But now it’s so hard to bleed And leaving a scar for me Of what was supposed to be But now it’s a part of me That part is dead to me Now it’s a part of me It’s stuck inside of me And won’t unlock so easily Accepting the heart’s destiny And burning the mind’s effigy But god it’s so hard to believe That now it’s a part of me That part is dead to me Now it’s a part of me It’s stuck inside of me And won’t unlock so easily I don’t think it’s supposed to be a part of me It’s dead to me

Hotel Girl 00:53
4.
The walls are bending shape again There’s poison in the medicine And a bullet in the gun Before she disassociates The Hotel Girl anticipates The bleeding of the sun She’s waiting in her wedding gown The Mariner is 7 stories down And his garden’s overgrown But the seeds were never sown She calls the Scarlet Gentleman To The Mariner’s indifference But he’s not the only one Who’s waiting for the phone to ring They make the call but she’s not answering For the bleeding of the sun And hanging by the chandelier She takes it as a final souvenir The ghost was never born The accounts were overdrawn He put his hands upon the urn And sucked the marrow from the bone Their voices sing in parallel The Scarlet Gentlemen becomes The General Of a war that can’t be won He gives the order to sail to the light But he knows they’re never going to arrive...

Don’t come here Til the coast is clear Believe what you wanna see Believe what you want It’s a hologram world Please save some For the rest of us Stay home And be what you wanna be And do what you want It’s a hologram world We’ve got time An eternity And freedom to roam By the sea We form a radical covenant A pelican front Like we want Like we want Come back here On the dark frontier And mean what you say to me And say what you want It’s a hologram world Please save some Midnight tangerines We know The world is fantasy We’ll do what we want We’ll do whatever we want

11 Months 05:57
The sun has set And soon will rise The corridors on fire But the lighting of her eyes Is a moon in Gemini It cracks and moans And fears it’s shown Its secrets on display But a January, February March and April, May And a June will keep July at bay Every single word that you said Spent eleven months in my head Pen and paper letters unread Trapped eleven months in my head But now that I can’t have you I can’t have you Like I want to Like I want to The stars are set And heavens known The chorus will reveal A platonic love surreal And an ever-turning wheel It cracks and moans And fears it’s shown Its weakness in the sand But an August temper in September Yields October’s hand And November’s where it all began Every single word that you said Spent eleven months in my head Pen and paper letters unread Trapped eleven months in my head But now that I can’t have you I can’t have you Like I want to Like I want to

O Lady I'm sorry I guess I can understand your pain O Lady I'm sorry I guess I can understand your pain O Lady I'm sorry I guess I can understand your pain

O Lady I'm sorry I guess you could open up my veins
