b-movie clichés / monsters and heroines
the city’s under siege / monochrome dreams
the planet unravels / will we still be here?
when the fires alight / my darling hold me near
my darling rescue me
from halcyon dreams
my darling rescue me
I won’t put my head / over the parapet
facts on facts on facts / won’t change my mind
when the storms rage / will you be there to save
our tiny thoughts / will our love prevail
my darling rescue me
from halcyon dreams
my darling rescue me

there's a fiction there's a fiction that grew between
this tragicomic coupling
we fed it, we fed it, like a pet,
psychological beauty queen
Take my hand it's not
that you understand
take my hand, it's not
that, you accept oh you're so small
Swings and drinks
Just want one thing
I had a way
to keep you safe
Take my hand, it's not
that, I can't stand
take my hand, you accept
it's not your fault
Swings and drinks
Just want one thing
I hideaway
to keep me safe

Rivalries
02:56

we came from nothing
or so we thought
we've been fighting
for thousands of years
undecided
whose side we're on,
rivalries last long
our transgressions
love's lost gifts and charms
sins we're guilty of
rivalries, rivalries
through the papers
and through the screens
we form your thoughts
we form your dreams
undecided
whose side we're on,
rivalries last long
our transgressions
love's lost gifts and charms
sins we're guilty of
rivalries, rivalries

we're growing together
faster than we're falling apart
when you caption the photographs
will I be there from the start
soldier sailor, tinker tailor
i couldn't be the same
get up on my shoulders
I don't want to play the same old part
Am I in your mind
when you’re falling asleep
Am I in your mind
When you’re lost and alone
soldier sailor, tinker tailor
i couldn't be the same
get up on my shoulders
I don't want to play the same old part

Same situations, different year
Graceful repetitions, more grey hairs
Worry ‘bout your parts wearing out
Remember where you went or how you got there
It’s getting late
you can’t go home again
Hold me close
remind me it’s me again
Same faces different year
Misplaced names and muddled stares
Forget ‘bout your memories fading out
Your portrait on the wall with who knows where
It’s getting late
you can’t go home again
Hold me close
remind me it’s me again

autumn’s ways / decay / like goth teens
old mix tapes / cascade / will you remember me
perihelion / fragile orbits / our nascent desires
perturbate / discover / my perfect design
mind over matter / never mind the stakes
summer days / unfurl / like gingham dreams
catching the sun / like tea stains / will you dance with me
apparitions / us two / we can disappear
appetites / unfed / between us two
mind over matter / never mind the stakes

i carry your heart with me
i am never without it
i carry your heart with me
anywhere I go, you go, my dear, my dear
no fate, for you are my fate, my sweet, I want no world
for beautiful, my world, my true it's you,
and whatever a moon has always meant
sun will always sing is you
deepest secret / nobody knows
the root of the root
the sky of the sky, of a tree called life
grows higher
than a soul can hope
