Lipstick Stains

I like the way your lipstick stains
The corner of my smile
How you brush my hair aside
I like the way your lipstick stains
The corner of my smile
I pray it lasts a while

Take your time
It won’t be long til our car breaks down
Your hands in mine
Feel like a firefighters’
When I take off your shoes
And all that’s in between
Our knots are loose
I cut them just to see you through
Why don’t we take the bus?
You say you don’t like the smell
But I like the bus!
I can be whoever I want to be
Take time to figure it out
I’ll be the one who sticks around
And I just want you to need me
And I just want you to lead me
My sister knows
She says that ghosts are real
Yeah my sister knows
Tells me everything I want to hear
Are secrets still a thing?
Our secret’s still a thing
You lie and you make believe
You can hide but you can’t deceive
I can’t tell you anything
Take time to figure it out
I’ll be the one who sticks around
And I just want you to need me
And I just want you to lead me

Remain

(I know, I know)
We’re not turning back around, turning backing around
(Let go, let go)
There’s nothing up my sleeves, nothing up my sleeves
(I know, I know)
Our pinky promises were never meant for this
I’ll remain under the moon
Watching you move

I forget just like a kid
Can’t see straight
I’m tired and I’m alone
Kiss and tell
These lying lips
Back and forth
Look up and now my head through the ceiling
I’m going up

Tell me that you felt it
Tell me it won’t go to waste
Something in the stars tell me it won’t be okay
You’ve got me running in circles
My thinking pattern fades
Pull yourself away
I can’t wait to find rest
Won’t you just give me piece of mine
I’m not okay
I don’t feel like I’m here
We’re not the same

You’re content with what you have
With your hands tied behind your back
I know
If I leave you alone
When you don’t feel right
I know we’ll sink for sure
I’ll play your game once more
If you don’t feel right
Sweetheart, listen
Make up your mind
Whatever helps you sleep in the night
Pieces won’t mend back together
That’s a shame
You shaved off parts of me I must erase
I know
If I leave you alone
When you don’t feel right
I know we’ll sink for sure
I’ll play your game once more
If you don’t feel right

Once I was very brave
I stepped on the stage
It took my breath away
Nerves coiled around my neck
I cried out for help
No one was there
My words turned into ash
They went nowhere
As if I’m barely there
Collect my troubles
Spit out when I’m told
Repeat it and
I’ll take what’s left of
My strength and get on
My feet again
On the tip of my tongue
I breathe again
I bury my stutter

Take It
03:19
|

|
My home it feels so small
I see the walls cave in
No time to make memories again
Replace my sad with happy
And take it out for a spin
The time on my wrist twitches
It knows what happens next
To the sky that’s above:
Is that all you’ve got?
Take your thumb off my pulse
And leave me with nothing more
You’re really good at embarrassing me
You poke at flaws everybody can see
Well I heard the news
Good tidings to you!
If my memory serves me right
You were easy to break
To the sky that’s above:
Is that all you’ve got?
Take your thumb off my pulse
And leave me with nothing more
Is that all you’ve got?

Everybody Works

I’m a good kid
I swear I don’t lie
I’ll get a job
Turn into one lovely guy
Hey you’re a rockstar
But do you have the time?
Did you pay your way through?
The right place the right time?
Try to make ends meet
Penny pinch til I’m dying
Everybody works
My folks they don’t
Think it’s right to be living in a shell
I’ll just bite hard
On my luck
I’ve read it in the books
I swear I’ll be good
Make a move
Count to ten
Little steps
I need a friend
Try to make ends meet
Penny pinch til I’m dying
Everybody works
I’m calling everyone I know
I’m lying on the telephone
My promises were never made
I guess I’ll never be okay
Everybody works
(You don’t want to see me like this)

For Light
07:22
|

|
Today I’ll take a walk
Feel the sun against my skins
For I am worn down
My sandpaper tongue crawls out
And I
I’ll be right on time
Open blinds for light
Won’t forget to climb
On the small of your back
I trace a line to carve
And sign my resignation
I’ll break to chew on glass
And I
I’ll be right on time
Open blinds for light
Won’t forget to climb
(I’ll be right on time
Open blinds for light
Don’t forget to climb)

Always finding albums like this that I wish I discovered years ago. Love, love, love this, from the simple arrangements to the Bond theme and screams of 'I know the end'.
