Take this and go


The Fourth EP


1. Pro LC

On his brain we will pull
Hunt him down like an animal
And you will feel a stinging suck
But you’ll be free of your bad luck
Just lie there

Hoo ooo
Hoo ooo
Hoo ooo

Ooo
Hoo ooo
Hoo ooo
Hoo ooo

So you gave ‘way your flow
Now you must claim your womb
And send that rat made of your flesh
Made of your flesh
Into his damned tomb
Just lie there

Faint, I’ll take you down to a place where there is no sound
And all your passions evade you
Here’s a glimpse of death
For the one, the one you chose to part with
And he rests

I’ll take you down
I’ll take you down
I’ll take you down

2. Another Way

This daddy’s hand evaporates
Any dignity his youngest had
He says it’s just the way
Our family is
You wouldn’t understand

And we go
And we go
Another day
And he goes
And he goes
Another way

Dooo dooo dooo
Dooo oooo

Dooo dooo dooo
Dooo oooo

Come sit inside my little room
Treats to consume
You’ll love the way they smell
I swear it’s just a game
I’ll never touch you in that way

And we go
And we go
Another day
And she goes
And she goes
A hidden way

Doo dooo dooo
Dooo oooo
Doo dooo dooo
Dooo ooo

Baby don’t cry
Baby don’t cry
You’ll be here in the morning
You’ll be here in the morning
You’ll be here in the morning
You’ll be here in the morning
So baby don’t cry

3. The Fourth

So I sing like an angel but I ain’t got no wings
I dread tomorrow and what the past will bring
And I hate being alone ‘cause I reflect on what might be
And I believed what you said when you were lying on top of me

So you took all I had and now I’m left empty
Do you even mind that I lost our baby
And I heard an “I love you” behind all of that mess
But love’s an illusion projected by sex

So I won’t do it
I won’t do it anymore…
I won’t do it anymore

So I won’t do it
I won’t do it anymore…
I won’t do it anymore

So I won’t do it
I won’t do it anymore…
I won’t do it anymore

So I won’t do it
I won’t do it anymore…

Where’s this real love?
Where’s this real love?

I offered my heart
Without you knowing
And once you found out
You took off running

4. Listen

And they won’t listen to me and they won’t listen
But they’ll listen to you
And they won’t listen to me and they won’t listen
But they’ll listen to…

Close my eyes
Close my eyes

And they won’t listen to you and they won’t listen
But they’ll listen to me
And they won’t listen to you and they won’t listen
But they’ll…

Close your eyes
Close your eyes

They’ll open up to me
They’ll make the world seem happy
They’ll be projecting too
That’s not protecting you

They’ll watch the water
Watch the water
Watch the blood and water
They’ll watch the water
Watch the water
Watch the blood and water
Spill
Spill

They’ll watch the water
Watch the water
Watch the blood and water
They’ll watch the water
Watch the water
Watch the blood and water spill

5. Love Will

I looked at you on top of your bed
And I could see inside of your head
The darkness that came out on your breath
Was leading you towards your death

You were looking up to me
But I was right here, you see
Darling
Darling

You picked yourself up in other ways
And then your eyes developed a haze
Your words started to grow cold
Your skin started to get old

Baby we used to be friends
What happened to us?
What happened to us?
Baby….

Love will strip your layers off
And love will take your height
And love will make you naked
Love will love you despite
Everything…

You were looking up to me
But I was right here you see
Darling
Darling

6. Last Night

If you come to me
Would you let it be
Tonight

And I must warn you
I’m not going to
Be stable
Tonight

I must not be real
All I know is what I feel
Tonight

One step closer you come
And I won’t be here
Do whatever you want
‘Cause I won’t be here
While you’re laughing
I’ll be lying down
On the no good filthy fucking ground

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Save me someone
Anybody
But me
But me
But me

7. Stay

Stay right
Stay right
Stay right
You’re all right and
Stay right
Stay right
Stay right
You’re all right

Hold tight
Hold tight
Hold tight
Here tonight and
Hold tight
Hold tight
Hold tight
Here tonight

Stay right
Stay right
Stay right
You’re all right and
Stay right
Stay right
Stay right
You’re all right

I can’t begin to say
To say
How much I need you
Need you
And I’m dying
Dying
To see you
To see you
I’m dying
Dying
To see you
To see you and

Stay right
Stay right
Stay right
You’re all right and
Hold tight
Hold tight
Hold tight
Here tonight and

Stay right
Stay right
Stay right
You’re all right and
Stay right
Stay right
Stay right
You’re all right

One set of eyes
I’m looking ‘round
One set of hands
I’m reaching ‘round
One set of ears
I’m hearing sounds
One single heart
I’m feeling down

9. Cry Wolf

And I’ll be around when you are treated horribly by them
And I’ll be here even when you don’t know who I really am
And can’t you see I want you
And can’t you see you’re beautiful

And I know you miss your daddy when you sleep at night
But open up your heart he’s here inside my eyes
His death is haunting your world
But he’s alive my little girl

And I will love you despite the things you’ve done to me
And I will turn all your pain into something pretty
You know my heart is inside yours
Bleeding with your sores

And I know you lost your pride when he forced himself on you
The older you get the weaker you feel you get too
I’ll have you know you’re strong baby
Even when your heart is aching

And I will love you despite the things you’ve done to me
And I will turn all your pain into something pretty
You know your dreams are real here
Reach out your hand and feel near
To me
To me
To me
To me

Haunts you
Stares at you
Seduces you
Watch out, love

Illusion
Projects love
Don’t believe its lies
Watch out, love

10. Goodnjös

I was waiting for your eyes to see me
And I was waiting for your hands to touch me
And they finally did and I wish it
Could have been better
And I had your heart and I lost it all
To her boy

Oooo oooo
Oooooooo

I was looking for the world
You live in
So I could pull you out and you
Wouldn’t have to give in
And I saw your smile and your denial
Hurt me
And I wanted to be held by you
Baby

Oooo oooo
Oooooooo

I was wondering
I was wondering
I was wondering if…
You wouldn’t
Forget me
Forget me
Forget me
Forget me
Forget…

12. Blue Mirage

So he embraces
All your faces
And when he undoes your heart dear
You may be living in an illusion

My blue mirage
My blue mirage
My blue mirage

His eyes will water
As hearts burn hotter
And what is it behind those eyes you see baby
Maybe something close to fusion

My blue mirage
My blue mirage
My blue mirage

13. An Image

And where I live
Is deceptive
And I will die
If no one gives
And saves me before I bleed
To my death
To my death

Beautiful prize
That I devised
Where did you go?
I’m all alone
And I’ll be here ‘til someone near
Can pick me up
Where life is clear, here

When you call me
I’ll be waiting
I hate my choice
I hear your voice
I want to be
Only with you
I’m captive here
I’m captive…
Here, here, here, here

Life
And life
And love
And love

2. Friends

You got so close to me i didn’t know what to do
Your hands were on my heart i was just waiting to be hurt by you
And we were good we were fine
but something happens when you decide to cross that line
that line

You were the one that i made myself think i could trust
I don’t know what happened but somehow it turned into lust
but i would give it all up just to see you again
so i could hear the way you sound when you say friend
best friend

what happened to you? you used to love me
what happened to me? i used to love me

back to top

3. See Home

You were standing there
Dark circles under your stare
with your hand up on your hip
your cigarette up on your lip

i can’t resist your voice
i’m obsessed now i have no choice and
every time you go and sing i’ll be in love
with what that brings

now you’ve left this image i made
hopefully it will fade

5. April

Promiscuous me
Lying trembling underneath
And who knows who this could be
sure they don’t care about me
about me

I lost my baby girl
to a rotten fucked up world
and her daddy takes and takes and takes
he’ll never mend what he breaks
what he breaks

you should be worried about you should be worried about you should be worried about
me
you should be worried about you should be worried about you should be worried about
me
you should be worried about you should be worried about you should be worried about
me
you should be worried about you should be worried about you should be worried about
me

6. A Tunnel City

see the mask, baby
watch it approach see
wind blows on your pretty face
curtains hang

ooooooooooo

see things my way
see things my way
my way
my way

see this crowd, baby
dressed in black you’ll see
watch them spiral down
into a black cloud

ooooooooooooo

see things my way
see things my way
my way my way

dream
dream
dream
dream
dream
dream

7. Escape

can i escape, escape you?
can i escape, escape you?
and you hover above a lonely longing head
and make a hope a dream that was born dead
and i’ll become apart of it
when it comes to my out and in
but now that i know that i know that the colors
only exist in

inside my head
inside my
inside my head
inside my
inside my head
inside my

so can i escape, escape you?
can i escape, escape you?
would you tear your riff away from my ear?
a memory’s an awry dream like mirror
so shatter your glass and take your fucking high
and maybe remove the darkness under his eyes
but voices will always echo in in in in

inside my head
inside my
inside my head
inside my
inside my head
inside my

you sang yourself your pretty self into my wrist
you took your voice your pretty voice into my skin
you broke a love apart because
i am weak

inside
inside
inside my
head
my head

THE END of EVERYTHING
