“Fall in Love with the Enemy”
Ivory gems, dipped in fur
Keep my hungry, feed me words
What will you say
Is it love or despair
Throw my hands in the air
I’ll take the bait
Like an animal in a cage
You lock me up, you lock me away
Lose the key and I won’t complain
you tear me down, tear me away
You never choose
To fall in love with the enemy
Break me in two
Only you get the best of me
Only you
Only you get the best of me
Only you
Fall in love with the enemy
Gnashing teeth, flashing chrome
Move in close, shake my bones
Let’s escalate
Don’t want to think about the future
This is nature verses nurture
What do you say
I’m an animal in a cage
You got me locked, got me locked away
Lose the key and I won’t complain
You tear me down, tear me down again
“Draw the Curtains”
Silhouette in the window
In the light walk away
Walk away Walk away
Never want to see you again
I say it’s true oh oh oh
But we know the truth oh oh oh, oh
Walk away, but remember our secret
Cuz I can’t wait, wait till the shadows fade
Draw the curtains
And let’s block the light
Close your eyes
We can see in the dark
Draw the curtains
Draw the curtains
Draw the curtains
And follow the breath from your lips
Feeling the colors we both know exist
Draw the curtains
Fight the lights
Only way in
We can see in the dark
Draw the curtains
Draw the curtains
In the trees it’s the sparrow
Stay away from my window
In your song there no promise
Never want to hear it again
I say it’s true oh oh oh
But we know the truth oh oh oh
Sing your song but remember my secret
Keep it close and wait till the shadows fade
“Chained to Change”
Here’s to the end of our sincerity
Life is bittersweet when there’s no clarity
(Oh, oh…)
Feel the weight, the weight of the plow
(Oh, oh…. hearts will be breaking)
If we hold it back we can revel in it now
We’re chained, chained to change, it’s all that remains:
There’s no escaping
We knew it, why didn’t we say it?
So hard for us to face it
We’re chained, chained to change
We fly in the face of predestination
(Oh, oh, hearts will be breaking)
It’s absolute, no, no hesitation
(It’s imminent, heats will be breaking)
We saw the end from the beginning
(feel the weight, the weight of it now)
All the takes, the takes we’ve been given
(Keep holding back, we can revel in it now)
We’re chained, chained to change, it’s all that remains:
There’s no escaping
We knew it, why didn’t we say it?
So hard for us to face it
We’re chained, chained to change
And if we knew it, why can’t we say it?
So hard when we can’t face it
We’re chained, chained to change
If we knew it, why can’t we say it?
So hard when we can’t face it
We’re chained, chained to change
(It’s imminent, hearts will be breaking)
“Burning Hearts”
Stay here, wait, let the black spiders crawl
You see them all, population under control
Seconds turn into hours, smoldering on your own
You’re so alone, so alone
Though your heart aches, you’re moving slowly
Hoping time waits for the the lonely
Why are you sitting on your own
Crying all alone?
Burning Hearts grow cold
Broken hearts, they will grow old
In your bones, fortune’s told
Burning Hearts, they all grow cold
You’re sitting still while you wait
Be good, do what you’re told
Look the other way, dip your toe, get cold
Entertain yourself, it’s all that you’ve ever known
Sitting there all alone
Though your heart aches, you’re moving slowly
Hoping time waits for the the lonely
I’m wondering why are you sitting on your own?
Tell me why are you crying all alone?
Burning Hearts grow cold
Broken hearts, they will grow old
In your bones, fortune’s told
Burning Hearts, they all grow cold
Sifting through the charcoal ruins in your ribs
Beginning something, uneasy and primitive
A little nudge, you’re falling
Your heart is spinning round and round…
Burning Hearts grow cold
Broken hearts, they will grow old
In your bones, fortune’s told
Burning Hearts, they all grow cold
“Blue Jean Youth”
Face to face
Arms embrace
Everything in place
Show me your blue jeans
Tell me I’m the one
Sew your patches on
My heart on your sleeve
Remember your blue jeans
Your blue jeans
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
A favorite record spun
For an iron lung
Such a rough trade
Show me your blue jeans
The words you say
A cold wave
What difference does it make
Remember your blue jeans
Your blue jeans
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
I got one more song
But the tape has run
On a teenage love
Show me your blue jeans
Your blue jeans
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love
Is it things you love
