THE ARCHER
The earth went ahead
and shook itself apart
the very moment I laid eyes on you
I took some pleasure
at the burning of the cross
before,
when Heaven couldn’t be so true
You ate me right up,
You spit me back out,
You bit my head right off,
with your tiny little mouth,
and I licked the blood
from your lips
Don't need to tell you,
but your arrow is made of stars
and the shot that you've made
punctures straight into my heart
It's a little ignorant
but, everybody's saying
that Forever is the place
Where you and I were made
You ate me right up,
You spit me back out,
You bit my head right off,
with your tiny little mouth,
and I licked the blood
from your lips
SOFT CURRENTS
Seven years,
I've had seven years of bad luck
and I'm just fine
Happiness,
I find happiness
in the wrong places
every time
My fate
is at the hands
of my mistakes
and that's alright.
Oh! The tears,
oh, the tears
I've shed, love
and I'm still cryin'
Happiness,
I find happiness
in the wrong places
every time.
My fate,
is at the hands
of my mistakes
and that's alright.
My fate,
is in your hand,
without you even tryin'.
My fate,
is at the hands
of my mistakes
and that’s alright/
CRYING ALL THE TIME
My death,
it haunts me,
like a ship without a sail
I know I'll be gone soon,
but just for him,
I will prevail
He doesn't like it, when I cry
He doesn't like it, when I cry
He doesn't like it, when I cry
and now he's gone
so I'm crying all the time
My death,
it taunts me
like a ship without a sail
I know I'll be gone soon
but for him,
I will prevail
He doesn't like it, when I cry
He doesn't like it, when I cry
He doesn't like it, when I cry
and now he's gone
so I'm crying all the time
crying all the time
crying all the time
crying all the time
GIRLIE
Hopelessly showbiz
associates
she's got friends you haven't met
they smoke menthol cigarettes
Bogus psychosis
she floats on in
she ain't ever anywhere
so your lucky that she's here
Talk about Hollywood problems,
she's got em
she's always looking for a wilder ride
and she'll be fucking with her phone all night
She calls me,
Girlie…
She gets in corners
where water can't
got that look upon her face
that she's twenty minutes late
Her shit
is sorted
she's all for it
til' her eyeballs start to bleed
she don't wanna go to sleep
Talk about ladder to stardom,
she's on one
she's always looking for a wilder ride
and she'll be fucking with her phone all night
She calls me,
Girlie
Girlie….

BUT YOU
The wilted edge of a lonesome mattress
I lay my head there
until the feeling passes
It's sinking in,
just as time relapses
I hope that you can feel it
'Cause nobody else can heal it,
but you
Baby, but you
Baby, but you
Baby, but you
Speak soft,
speak slight now honey
It feels a little empty in the night now, honey
Drift back,
drift right down on me
I know that you can feel it
'Cause nobody else can heal it but you
Baby, but you
Baby, but you
Baby, but you
Baby, but you
Baby, but you
Baby, but you
