switchblades & crosses
floating around my head
sing me your sins
and i'll wrap them in my skin
and carry them around
until i'm worn and thin
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
running your hands
under my dress
on a bench in a lonely church
where broken people
go to be fixed
then a man all dressed in white
offered to save my soul
i said 'sorry father but i'm good for the night'
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
switchblades (and silence)
and crosses (and violence)
switchblades (and silence)
and crosses (and violence)
switchblades (and silence)
and crosses (and violence)

something is different
but i can't put my finger on it
i know that you want me
and i know that i want you
but i'm caught in my own riptide
i'm sorry that i'm a riptide
i'm sorry that i'm a riptide
i'm kicking and swimming
but i'm dragging myself out to sea
where i want to be
and i know that you want me
and i'm swimming to you
but i just want to let go
if i'm being honest
when i'm by your side
i don't swim so far out to sea
and get caught in my riptide
i know that you want me
and i know that i want you
but i'm caught in my own riptide
i'm sorry that i'm a riptide
i'm sorry that i'm a riptide
i want you
but i'm a riptide
i love you
and your blue eyes
i want you
but i'm a riptide
i know that you want me
and i know that i want you
but i'm caught in my own riptide
i'm sorry that i'm a riptide
i'm sorry that i'm a riptide

remember when i gave
you a lap dance
in a cemetery
on your birthday
i looked up to the night sky
and thought i saw an asteroid
maybe a paranoid
but it feels like a wild void
anablephobia
i've made up my mind
anablephobia
if i stare long enough
night sky so wide
i feel like i've died
i feel like i've died
i feel like i've died
do you ever feel like
falling upwards
my cables are clustered
i'm tangled, outnumbered
if i stare up too long
maybe the sun will thaw
anablephobia
i've made up my mind
anablephobia
if i stare long enough
night sky so wide
i feel like i've died
i feel like i've died
i feel like i've died

insomnia
i wait for you
every night
you kiss me blue
insomnia
burn my tissue
insomnia
i can't break through
feel me up
(i dont wanna wake up now)
with your cold hands
(i dont wanna wake up now)
wake me up
(i dont wanna wake up now)
let me rest
let me rest
let me rest
let me rest
insomnia
you meet me
between the sheets
insomnia
make war with me
insomnia
make love to me
insomnia
like a sea
i need someone
to hold me
feel me up
(i dont wanna wake up now)
with your cold hands
(i dont wanna wake up now)
feel me up
(i dont wanna wake up now)
let me rest
let me rest
let me rest
let me rest

I feel something walking behind me
And I know it's there when I'm alone
Like a cold breeze
And whatever you are
Please don't leave me
/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \
Tell me what you call yourself
And who you want to be
I know you're there and you follow me
And it feels strangely comforting
And the other day I know you were there
When I walked along the sea
If only I could talk to you
But a howl is all I'll hear
I feel something walking
Behind me
And I know it's there when I'm alone
Like a cold breeze
And whatever you are
Please don't leave me
/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \
Wherever you come from
Can you take me
I only hear footsteps
Echoed down the street
But they sound like a song
Screamed from the middle of the sky
If you're going to your shadowland
Take me for the ride
I feel something walking
Behind me
And I know it's there when I'm alone
Like a cold breeze
And whatever you are
Please don't leave me
/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \
I feel something walking
Behind me

you can break your own heart
so you don't have to break mine
you can break your own heart
so i can go about with my life
i can hurt myself
i don't need your confused mind
i'm full of enough water
and you've plenty to find
everybody warned me that water was cold
but i couldn't help myself
i dove head first into the cold
i saw the shipwrecks that maps said i could find
i saw their splintered bows and sails battered by wind
the things that you told me when we were in your room
when you laid your head on my chest
and you flooded me with summer bloom
for a while i felt peace of mind
for a while i was careful and i was blind
for a while i was careful and i was blind
submechanophobia, submechanophobia,
submechanophobia, submechanophobia
you can break your own heart
so you don't have to break mine
what a burden you must bear
being so self-confined
you can fuck yourself up
so you don't have to play with my heart
you can tangle your own thoughts
till you can't tell them apart
you can point that dagger
in the direction of your own chest
the things that you told me
in your room when we were possessed
everybody warned me that water was cold
but i couldn't help myself
i dove head first into the cold
i saw the shipwrecks that maps said i could find
i saw their splintered bows and sails battered by wind
the things that you told me when we were in your room
when you laid your head on my chest
and you flooded me with summer bloom
for a while i felt peace of mind
for a while i was careful and i was blind
for a while i was careful and i was blind
submechanophobia, submechanophobia,
submechanophobia, submechanophobia

i feel your sigh
inside of my throat
you walk away into a room
where you can howl up to the moon
i know that look
i've known your face
on metal masks
and unshielded blade
surrenderd man
i'll hold your hands
you know who you are
and i know who i am
i feel your breath
i braid my hair
the sky today
the clouded air
we wake up in
a different place
you have me now
in wide space
surrenderd man
i'll hold your hands
you know who you are
and i know who i am
you know who you are
and i know who i am

shark fins swimming through my hair
in the morning light
black lung morning sea breath
tell me how this goes
i'm bordering the future and
mumbling all my fears
cuz i'm floating upwards
bells ringing underwater
making a steeple with your leathered blackened hands
saying "you can hide here"
tell me how this goes
i'm spinning in a tidal wave
carrying my confusion
cuz i'm swallowed in
the water of a marbled fountain
hunger for feeling temple stone
but all i got is cold wind
water & skin
water & skin
water & skin
