Marigold

your parents chartreuse chair housed the future and the past,
were we to sit there like statues?
girl we were never ones for rules
Pretending to be ticklish was how this began,
Now brown eyes never seemed less alive,
And this is where I ran...

Dear Mackenzie, I tried to love you,
Oh serendipity, please sentence me,
Just skip the trial I can only plead guilty,
Oh serendipity, please forgive me,
And even though I've left you once and for all
To your own devices
I know you'll pull through,
You gotta pull through...

Wait, momma, I'm coming
don't cry, momma, I'm coming

Letting go is for quitters,
so I guess remorse is for winners,
and this is where I'll wait
this is where I'll wait
so why, oh why
have you left me in the dark?
Here I swim in waiting
Will you come once I see the man in white?

Dear Mackenzie, I tried to love you,
Oh serendipity, please sentence me,
Just skip the trial I can only plead guilty,
Oh serendipity, please forgive me,
And even though I've left you once and for all
To your own devices
I know you'll pull through,
You gotta pull through...

Now brown eyes never seemed less alive,
Regardless we're in this beautiful mess
Now brown eyes never seemed less alive,
And that was when I ran

entre deux mers

if you follow the ink blots of white washed heroes
fake your apathy for the camera
singled out, you love the rewards,
ending on your exes, ending your oh's
(like nothing, like its nothing)
saving smiles for these last chance actors
snap into frame, you're in the public eye

though this is nobodys business
like nothing, like its nothing

Like adolescence
Where should she go,
Like turbulence
how should she feel

shed the shroud of past production
Throwing off the wool
your silent mansion
your present and your future
saving smiles for these last chance actors
snap into frame, you're in the public eye
though this is nobodys business
like everything, this is everything

She's out there somewhere and this is not fiction
(EVERYTHING, LIKE THIS IS EVERYTHING)
chorus
Like adolesence
Where should she go,
Like turbulence
how should she feel

Angry Teeth

She's like the sun
we stop and stare
But eyes can't stand it too long
They burn at the core
She'll burn you
But you'll be damned
if you can't ever go on without her

And she said,
"if we're going down alone,
then we're going down together"
(oh angry teeth it won't get better)
"but when you bring your ship to port,
I'm poking holes in the boat"
(Hey... Aren't all ships supposed to float?)

Oh angry teeth, sink into my skin,
I'll dance to the tune of your insanity,
Oh angry throat, sing your serenade
And I can't dare to close my ears

She weighs her options
On a broken mental scale
that never evens out
Can you fix it for her?
She eyes you up
Can't decide if you're trash or treasure
So she's got you on a leash

And she said,
"if we're going down alone,
then we're going down together"
(oh angry teeth it won't get better)
"but when you bring your ship to port,
I'm poking holes in the boat"
(Hey... Aren't all ships supposed to float?)

oh angry teeth, sink into my skin,
I'll dance to the tune of your insanity,
Oh angry throat, sing your serenade
And I can't dare to close my ears

Le One Two Two

you've got the beat,
you've got the beat,
I feel you,
A little bit closer now
You've got the visage
The image that makes me sweat
my fingers trace around your lips
just a little bit further down
gotta push you just a little bit further

Against the wall
The nights go fast
And the dollars fall
Spies, in their coats
They hide it well
Whisper to me
The stories of those they've had

Fixed on me across the room
Two eyes and one cigar
An errant glance, the figures passed
The shadow's gone
without warning,
cold steel's pressed to my chest
The room spins, the girls scream
And all I see is red

Against the wall
The nights go fast
And the dollars fall
Spies, in their coats
They hide it well
Whisper to me
The stories of those they've had

My how the red runs
God, how my red runs

Against the wall
The nights go fast
And the dollars fall
Spies, in their coats
They hide it well
Whisper to me
The stories of those they've had
