THE BLED LYRICS

1. Hotel Coral Essex

If it starts to feel, then we'll just shut it off again.
We won't convince the jury, we're guilty till we die.
If it starts to sing, reach in remove the sirens,
This respirator keeps a countdown to our cancellation.
If it starts to bleed, do not adjust the contrast.
Doctor, deliver us.
Heaven holds no truth for dreamers like you and I.
Remember the day they cut our throats,
We learned to smile from our necks.
This is the breech of etiquette, with wires jutting from our arms.
I'll never look at you again, if it's only a mirror in the end.
And if there's no one after us, we'll turn the lights out when we leave.
I'll never look at you again, if it's only, it's only, it's only a mirror.
I'll never look at you again, if it's only, it's only a mirror.
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you again.
We're guilty till we die.
I'll never look.
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you again.
We're guilty till we die.
I'll never look at you.
Till we die.
Siphon the ivory from the tusk, we're guilty till we die.
We only bleed when the knives are drawn.
Vultures pick the meat from the bones.
We're guilty till we die.
If it starts to feel, then we'll just shut it off again.
We won't convince the jury.
We're guilty till we die.
If it starts to feel, then we'll just shut it off again.
We won't convince the jury.
We're guilty till we die.
Do not adjust the contrast, my love, our days are numbered.
We'll remain guilty until our hearts give in and pull us under.
Do not adjust the contrast, my love, our days are numbered.
We'll remain guilty until our hearts give in and pull us under.
We left our corpses on the beach untouched and slightly out of reach.
We paint the walls with our dreams.
We'll turn the lights out when we leave.
We left our corpses on the beach untouched and slightly out of reach.
We paint the walls with our dreams.
We'll turn the lights out.

2. Guttershark

I crawled for mile.
Slit open by a trail of thorns.
I prowled, I prowled the vapid avenue.
Slurring every word I wished I said.
Stranded, a nocturnal hellhole.
I have a dread of becoming a martyr.
Pry it out, pry it out.
Pavement spits back when the clock strikes.
I crawled for miles and miles.
Take the palms.
Save the fright from...
I sprawled, prototypical creature.
Mouthwide and cobblestone canvas.
Time lapse.
Rejected donors.
Flee from.
The scene.
Blind numb.
On a whiskey slicked highway.
I'm reeling toward the temptation at hand.
Fog lights.
Disjointed lightning.
Nauseous nauseous..
I'm drooling right on cue.
I'm sleeping in a pew.
It's all misconstrued.
Goddamn this night.
Fabricate.
Deny.
Until the beat makes you sick.
Guttershark.
Prescribe.
The man is void of reason.
I crawled for miles and miles.
Till the palms called it quits, yeah.
I crawled for miles and miles and miles.
Take the palms.
Save the fright from...
Fear grips me.
Drained.
Pissed.
Drowned.
You might cut a man.
Just to watch him bleed.
You might cure yourself of this plague.
You might spill your guts.
To this bloodthirsty crowd.
They might think I'm you.
I'm gonna end up you.
You can't shake it; the fear, the vice, the tremble.
The bittersweet melody is deafening, so hide your broken halo from me.
You can't shake it; the fear, the vice, the tremble.
The bittersweet melody is deafening, so hide your broken halo from me.
I crawled for miles.
I crawled for miles.
I crawled for miles.

3. My Assassin

The sky blistered red, shots ring overhead.
I'm scaling walls that the soldiers built to muffle out your screams.
The message was dislocated, misconveyed, incinerated.
In the wake of war just listen for the flood.
The arthritis in us all is choking me out.
It's spilling me.
Maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in a saves me from the flood.
Collapse.
This is out last chance.
There's no time for relapse.
Just listen for the flood.
If not us, can I just save you?
Can't you hear the bombs are calling all our old habits their own?
A sniper patiently awaiting me in ever catacomb, are you scared girl?
Won't you be my assassin?
hunted down for the last time and carried you home.
The arthritis in us all is choking me out.
It's spilling me.
Maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in and saves me from the flood.
Collapse.
This is our last chance, there's no time for relapse.
Just listen for the flood.
If not us, can I just save you?
Bring on the love, 'cause here comes the flood.
Bring on the love, 'cause here it comes.
We must have been seduced by the calm of the isle as we tied our wrists, our wrists too tight in the shallow.
Maybe you could finally be the one who finally reaches out and saves me from the flood.
Collapse.
This is our last chance.
There's no time for relapse now.
Just listen for the flood.
If not us, can I just save you?

4. Antarctica

The rain begins.
The tide it pulls.
And drags me down.
It doesn't end.
Keep rolling in.
Keep rolling in.
Alone you float.
She wont let go.
And it spins you out.
Keep rolling in.
Keep rolling in.
Keep rolling in.
Underneath a web of satellites.
Concrete structures puncture holes in the sky.
Nothing lives here and no one comes here anymore.
Redesign me.
I lost your grip.
Peeled apart by the owned.
Stick beside me on the road.
Redesign me.
I lost my grip.
Peeled apart by the owned.
Stick beside me on the road.
She winks and glows.
If I could run from this I swear I'd take you with me.
But this place has got the best of us again.
And it wont just go away.
We're diving in with our hearts and halfmast and there's nothing left to say.
Redesign me.
I lost your grip.
Peeled apart by the owned.
Stick beside me on the road.
Redesign me.
I lost your grip.
Peeled apart by the owned.
Stick beside me on the road.
Keep rolling in.

5. She Calls Home

I've got such a filthy heart sometimes.
When you take me to that place and I never wanna leave.
In the middle of the night, when everyone is sound asleep.
Where will you be?
You'll be waiting with a gasmask in the dark.
I can't stop myself.
She calls home when I'm not there so I wont freeze.
I need to learn how to breathe when I'm inside you.
Sever the ripcord.
Sever it.
I drift away.
I drift.
Further down.
Inside it gets so fucking cold.
I come to you to feel helpless.
Further down.
You know it's hard to free myself and you just keep on driving until its over.
Until they swallow every last drop of me and you.
I need to learn how to breathe.
I need to learn how to breathe.
Further down.
I reach inside.
Further down.
I can't hide.
I tried to show you that there's nothing you can take away from me.
Nothing you can take away from me.
Kill me.
You're such a beautiful liar.
Take me to the place where I'm king.
Nothing just like the way that you wanted.
When you left me behind.

6. The Last American Cowboy

Brace yourself for the plight of the born.
As the spotlight strips you bare.
Just a useless Act in the Play of Life.
Cast as the role of "The Lover".
And I feel slightly misplaced in a world of "Fuck or Be Fucked".
Kill the lights.
Letch.
One more time and say it like you mean it.
Lush.
One more time and tell it like you feel it.
Lover.
You've got talent but I just don't see it.
Wrap your hook around my neck and get me off, get me off, get me off your stage.
In every coma-lover's kiss collides with truth.
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise.
And I know disguise the lies that you fed me last night these plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst and nothing could be worse and I know why.
And what do I have left?
The composer just went deaf.
The singer lost his breath.
In the glow of the crowd.
The dancer's on a crutch.
The writer drank too much.
The director lost his touch.
In the glow of the crowd.
Can you resist the urge to burn the script we wrote? bring on the flood before we choke.
Applause engulfs the room.
We bow into out tombs.
Sing me one more line so I can sleep.
Sing me one more line so I can sleep.
Sing me one more line so I can sleep.
This is all you need.
My love, it follows you to your grave.
To your grave.
My love, it follows you to your grave.
To your grave.
In every coma-lover's kiss collides with truth.
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise.
And I know disguise the lies that you fed me last night these plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst and nothing could be worse and I know why.
In every coma-lover's kiss collides with truth.
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise.
And I know disguise the lies that you fed me last night these plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst and nothing could be worse and I know why.

7. Daylight Bombings

The air raids at night.
Are keeping things serene.
The president's men are closing in on me.
And the crosshair grin you hold me in still does not propose an argument convincing me to shed the devil's clothes.
Electrodes to spine.
Tonguing my wounds clean.
That's when the nightmare stops.
Oh yeah, I had a dream, I had a dream.
It went - shackled to the lover of another in a chapel so pristine.
Baptized at athiests.
I never felt to clean.
The more I hear doves cry the less I want to fly.
The more I hear them crying out...
When does the seizure end?
When does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over the waste of love and back again.
Oh my mistress, whoa, sweet distress.
Your dress is bringing it all back to me.
And we are closer than whores caught up in a roundabout in hell.
Twilight isn't in the dark on this one.
You can play me out on the hotel floor.
Twilight isn't in the dark on this one.
You can play me out.
The more I hear doves cry, the less I want to fly.
The more I hear those doves crying.
This is where the plot thickens.
Not behind the ribs but below the truth.
You can use your sleuth.
'cause I'm begging for proof.
This is where the plot thickens.
Not behind the ribs but below the truth.
You can use your sleuth.
'cause I'm begging for proof.
Begging for proof.
When does the siezure end?
When does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over the waste of love and back again.
Oh my mistress, whoa sweet distress.
Your dress is bringing it all back to me.
And we are closer than whores caught up in a roundabout.
No need to run away.
The pig was snuffed and laid.
We saw this happening all on the front page.
This is the last time we bet on landmines.
We've got a lot riding on this one.
So save your bullets for the call back.
We've got a lot riding on this one.
Don't turn your back till you see the blood flow back.

8. Millionaires

We fall asleep on the runway underneath the noon crucifix.
Where they left the light on for us tonight.
Fed myself to the sickness and purge myself of the cure.
We watch the nurses pace the cage.
You and I we're never gonna die.
Never gonna die in the white lights.
You and I are never gonna die.
Servants.
Suffocate the king.
We'ce come to take what we don't need.
And built a prison where catherdrals used to be.
We burn every office.
Zombies prowl through the school chanting "This is ours to love and take apart at will".
Here we are right now.
Here we are right now.
These wires, these woven webs, conceal blueprints from me.
Here we are right now.
Sometimes we kill the lights.
Pretend that we survived.
We're never gonna die.
We're never gonna die.
We're never gonna die.
We're never gonna die.

9. With An Urgency

Hey you, young love.
Don't let them cut out your tongue.
Swallow the key to your heart and smile through your teeth.
Hey you, young love.
Don't let them cut out your tongue.
It's only over when we choose to forgive them.
Give me your hand when no one else understands.
The day the hostages start makeing demands.
We gave ourselves.
When there was no body else.
We found what we were looking for in the summer.
I never begged to be immune to love a heart so out of tune.
But I believed you when you told me I was ruined.
And if the sun comes up again, I'll be waiting for the others to come in.
They'll never take us alive.
And they can never take away what keeps you safe when you're afraid to lose it all.
Just love nothing more until we are nothing more.
Until we love.
I never begged to be immune to love a heart so out of tune.
But I believed you when you told me I was ruined.
And if the sun comes up again, I'll be waiting for the others to come in.
They'll never take us alive.
I never begged to be immune to love a heart so out of tune.
But I believed you when you told me I was ruined.
Hey you, young love and all that's left of us.
Hey you, young love.
Hey you, young love and all that's left of us.
Hey you, young love.

10. I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore

I see right through you when you sing it back to me.
I read the fine print and I saw you staggering.
Regurgitate the shit you find in the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind.
Congradulate the corpse you drag, put the money in the body bag.
Right in front of us.
The stop and start machine.
You've been singing with the liar's tongue.
With every crippled word you said to me.
With every fractured breath and broken glare you were pawning off your babies' debt with a cold paycheck.
Abandon what you built.
Repair your hope with guilt.
There's nothing left here to suffocate.
With razor wire arms, you reach and miss the throat.
There's nothing left to love about this city anymore.
The politics and the hired whore.
Now.
Save your breath.
Now.
Into your mouth.
Did this to yourself.
You can't repair the punctured lung.
Secrets seep through the stress cracks.
Shut your mouth.
I read the fine print.
Now.
Shut your mouth.
You did this to yourself.
Now shut your mouth and pay the rent.
Shut your mouth and pay the rent.
You say it, like your life depends on believing your own lie.
I see right though you when you sing it, when you sing it.
I see right through you when you sing it, sing it back to me.
Now, say it like your life depends on believing in your own lie.
Now, say it like your life depends on believing in your own lie.
