Lyrics

How can nothing ever mean something?
It goes from white to grey so fast
A new pool on a strange mattress
Helps me catch up with my past

Pass me something to wipe with
We're so easy to please
Do you worry that it's loaded?
Laced with a million littles me's

So are you up for the hat-trick
Or are you down for a rest?
Is the whitest light between our legs
Or hidden in my chest?

And if they see us on the stairs
Or if they catch us on the sink
Move quickly and brush it off
With a giggle and a wink

At least we know we're fuckable
At least we're sated and we're tired
At least the bedroom stinks
And we know we're desired

Screaming in the trees

We met on mutual ground
But you avoided my gaze
Until I lost your face
In the next morning's haze

You're shoes could've woken up the whole street
They drowned out the birds screaming in the trees
We sat down on the stone stairs
And I watched the scars on your knees

We met on mutual ground
You fell out of your dress
This bar's not open late enough
So let's go home and make a mess

They smiled and left the room
To leave us with more space
But we stayed where we were
And just had a drink to the chase

A good night kiss equals a quick reaction
But it's hard to believe I'm fully grown
So as usual, we parted on vague terms
So you could climb back on your thrown

Haunt me

Haunt me
I know
You'll keep me
In tow

No laugh
No guide
No limp
Beside

So haunt me
'Cause I know
You'll keep me
In tow

If she's all
I need
To love
And breed

Then haunt me
'Cause I'll know
You'll keep me
In tow

Turbulence

You always jump and quiver
When you're coming in to land
With no runway, no guidance
No nails dug into my hand

We could have whoever we want
We could go back to school
And see the dead laugh again
Let's get dressed up and pull

The only benefit of drinking
The downside of what we take
Some weekends I feel
Like I could always be awake

A party in a strangers house
Have we ever met the host?
Just smile and keep talking
And get your can for a toast

We won't always be safe here
But this is where we reign
Pull it tight to protect us
We might never sleep again
