THE JONBENÉT LYRICS

1. Devils

Things can happen in an instant,
and things can go unnoticed,
and things can be blurted out without question

I know I have no reason to feel the way that I do
I know I have no reason to feel the way I do, way I do feel about you
I told myself that I was through yeah
I told myself that I was through
I told myself that I was through but am I really through with you

Me with my other you've found another these devils on my shoulder have torn me apart
Me with my other you've found another these devils on my shoulder have torn me apart
Me with my other you've found another these devils on my shoulder have torn me apart

Feeling cheated is ridiculous on my part but it's there for some reason it's there

I set myself up for destruction, I think I knew it from the start
I set myself up for destruction, I think I knew it from the start
I set myself up for destruction, I think I knew it from the start
I set myself up for destruction I think we knew it from the late nights long talks emotions I should have kept at bay things that I didn't have to say I told myself that I was through

2. Eating Lightning Pt. II

One hundred and eighty days have passed since I've been here
Trapped deep inside this white beast
We are it's hands we are it's blood
We are it's hands we are it's blood

Cold streets are what we follow
Lined with torn apart souls
Dark hearts are being hidden
To be found on our way home

Speak now or forever hold your peace
Speak now or forever hold your peace
A companionship broken for greed
A companionship broken for green

Secret agendas, rendezvous never spoken of behind the backs
Behind the backs of the ones you loved

You could have been there till the end
You could have been there till the end
The bitter end, the bitter end

When you said that it was go time
Well you should have, should have listened
It's your time to go, it's your time to go
A companionship broken for greed
A companionship broken for green

3. We Eat Our Young

Rip it out
Eat it like we eat our young
Tear me down
Sick of biting my tongue
Fall down face first after this bottle of happiness
It could turn into forgetfulness if I drink enough of it
Bruised lips
They've been used on another sinking ships
No need to run for cover
If anything's left after this car wreck,
Make sure to warn each other
Go on now, you know you've got better things
Go on now, you know you're too good for me

4. Black Lion

Let's pack up and head east,
Find the perfect place to settle down
I've wanted to destroy myself for a while now, and with your help, I can try tonight
This desert is beautiful
This desert is ours
Hold on tonight
No, wait a week
Let me lose myself in this dry heat
We'll both know when the time is right, honey
I'll be on my back with my eyes closed, begging for sleep
All you have to do is light that cigarette, and let it fall, hands clasped, hoping to God flame reaches me
Walk away, but don't leave
Witness as the sky turns black
And the flames, they consume me
Taking me in
Taking me over
My body tightens, and I'm through
Look at the smoke rise in the sky
Tonight, we won't worry about "I love you"s
Just think about goodbye

5. Love Is A Dog From Hell

So there will be no deliveries made to mother Russia
With special edition doors painted in colors we can't see
Screaming that they are tired of being knocked on
During this time, the female version of the species begs to be knocked
Honesty is killing me, so we all believe the wrong things
Rotten thoughts mixed with subtle hands, disguised as love
Honesty will be the death of me
We just run that way
Be sure to leave it black
That moan makes me howl
Seven births
Seven beasts
Seven deaths
Seven demons
These flailing arms need to cease to show proof of my abortion so long as entries made
And the proud search goes on
They cannot remove our ability to switch moves with a partner
This is actually sand where I can't write
For the moment, everyone, everywhere, I am the sewer killer
Our hearts are down in the shitter

6. Why We're Dead

Breathe in this hell
Taste how ugly it is
Every day, the same faces that make death so inviting
Questions, endless questions, with pointless answers
White lies spill out, while white noise fills my ears
Bleeding eyes
Rip out my hair
Spit in my face
I'm your little bitch
Step all over me, everyday, with different shoes
Make it hurt
Make it worth it

7. Three Years

Grind up my heart with the rest of the meat
I don't think I'll need it ever again
I find myself in a horrific position
The words were spoken, and never repeated
I swear to this, my love
Or at least I think I never meant to ruin this ruiner
Fingers tapping, while the screen shines bright on my face
Too often has this happened
To remember certain days
Certain sentences
Certain phrases
Certain people just cannot be trusted
Everything came straight from my heart and transferred to another
Never knowing things would be catalogued
And confirmed horrible blackmail in the rarest forms coming from someone who was only trying to help
Unsure of their motives and unclear of their actions
Things were said and taken too far from the start
Lovers turn to haters, and friends turn to foes

8. It Fell To The Earth

It think it wants to kill me
I think it wants me dead
The pain is never-ending
I think it wants me dead
I'm not meant to be happy
I doubt anyone is
Confusion, denial, regret, I can't get over it
So many broken hearts, and I'm holding the hammer
They're just piggy banks
I take them out, get what I need emotionally, and just leave the pieces on the floor
My heart is tired of pushing this filthy blood through these lifeless limbs
It wants to give out love without hesitation
It wants to give out love without devastation

9. It Made Them Sick

I'm a waste of human skin
that a better brain could go
in a living pile of shit

who gets sick at the thought of it
my heart is slowly sinking into a hell
that won't heal with drinking

keep killing them when they start healing
I'm a bastard with no heart
and I think I've been fucked from the start
please take me away from this world
at least just for one day
then I know the fear won't ever go away through
with not being able to decide waiting for the day I finally die

10. Zeppelin

Let's learn how to be invisible, and while we're at it, we'll cut off our our ears and gouge out our eyes
I'm sick of falling out of mouths I never wanted to be in, anyway
Let's shut down completely, but still keep our hearts beating
I only wish that we could get away from all of this
Things said only live while others choose to listen,
But when the interests start to die,
The lies will go with them
Our emotions can't be contained for too much longer
I never want to hide my love
Fuck no
I never want to hide my face
We will make everything right, but tonight, we'll just have to learn how to not exist

11. Damned

You're hiding behind this giant brick wall,
And I'm not here to hurt you, but you leave me with no other choice
I'm not made to wait around
I'm not the one who's fucked this up,
And I'm truly sorry, but I must do this
I've got to put an end to all of this
It tears into my brain every single day
Why can't I ever get a thing out of you
It's driving me insane
I know I'm nothing special, and this shouldn't hurt too much,
But I feel so terrible
You tremble at my touch, and I see you start to bend
Your words begin to break
Why am I so horrible
Just a heartless pile of shit
There will be no end, I've given up trying to fight this
I'm getting so close to my faults
To figure myself out
Spill my guts some more until I feel okay
Cry in car rides and give it another try
I'm finally finding myself

12. Hearts In The Jar

From hours, to days, to years, to death
These memories will outshine the rest
One thing is certain,
Death comes for us all
We are the ugly
The heartless
