I guess I like the twisted plot we’ve created
I sacrificed shit so you and I could make it
I wrote the script so that we both could lay naked
Like two starfish on a planet thats just been invaded
Inhale real slow, the air out here could be fatal
Blue lips, steel thoughts, don’t sleep,
not sure if we’re safe yet
The sky could swallow us but you
couldn’t care less
I’m here at the drive-in, watching just how it all ends
Its safe to say our fate can’t be generated
With pen in hand, you scribbled out something sacred
Starving for something more than just surface data
Messed up on a love edited right down to the pavement

Chorus (2x)
Even if we had everything to lose
Even if we had everything to gain
We would still not have each other
Not have each other
Still not have each other
In the end
Everybody talks about it
Puts in their two cents about it
Word around the town she’s got it
Baby, she’s all about it
Everybody talks about it
Makin stories up about us
Word around the town, he’s not it
Don’t even think about it
Chorus (2x)
Even if we had everything to lose
Even if we had everything to gain
We would still not have each other
Not have each other
Still not have each other
In the end
Everybody talks about it
Puts in their two cents about it
Word around the town she’s got it
Baby, she’s all about it
Everybody talks about it
Makin stories up about us
Word around the town, he’s not it
Don’t even think about it
Chorus (2x)
Even if we had everything to lose
Even if we had everything to gain
We would still not have each other
Not have each other
Still not have each other

Baby, she’s all about it
Everybody talks about it

Don’t even think about it
Don’t even think about it

Why you always bringing me down?
While I push you up, uh uh oh
Why you always bringing me down?
Can we rise above? Uh uh oh
Seems you stopped hanging around
Whats your agenda?
Took a long ride downtown,
Never thought I would say
I surrender
Chorus
Don’t push me down, I’ll
Get back up
I’ll come back ‘round
Don’t bring me down, I’ll prove

Man your so fucked up, uh uh oh
Why you always bringing me down?
Poison to my lungs uh uh oh

We’re just tiny particles
Burning out over the sea
Swim for me
Swim swim to me
And leave your troubles back at shore
How does it feel?
Straddling the line,
always gambling your time.
How does it feel?
Never giving in
while your time is wearing thin.
How does it feel?
Ohhhh
to testify?
Chorus
This is my surrender
Ohhhh
This is my surrender
Ohhhh
This is my surrender
To the powers that be
always talkin to me
This is my
surrender
You’ve burned every candle, both ends
and I’m not surprised you’re hands ain’t red
How does it feel?
To wake up, take up that amount of space?
How does it feel?
To let go, live slow, get a better taste?
How does it feel?
Ohhhh
to testify?
Chorus
This is my surrender
Ohhhh
This is my surrender
Ohhhh
This is my surrender
To the powers that be
Always talkin to me
This is my......
surrender
Surrender
Oooo surrender
Surrender
Oooo surrender

Righteous

Hey hey
Yeah, we’re righteous
to believe in a cause
that despite us
will continue to live on
We’re righteous
We refuse to let our fears define us
Yeah, we’re righteous enough to believe
They despise us
So entitled to cast shade
behind us
for a chance to be right
They despise us
Are they evil enough to malign us?
Yeah, they’re foolish enough to believe
Yeah, they’re foolish enough to believe
Chorus
Am I righteous? To believe in a love that divides us? ohhhh
Am I righteous? To believe in a power that blinds us? oh, oh, oh
Try and fight us
We’ve prepared for the battle
inside us
Its just par for the course
Try and fight us
Sink or swim, for the win, they designed us
We’re prepared how to make you believe
We’re prepared how to make you believe
We’re prepared how to make you believe
Chorus (2x)
Am I righteous? To believe in a love that divides us, oh
Am I righteous? To believe in a power that blinds us, oh, oh
Am I righteous? To believe in a love that divides us, oh
Am I righteous to believe in a power that blinds us, oh, oh, oh

Scolded

I thought I'd give a chance
But you've gone and cast me out to sea
Ohhh
You watch me float away
A million memories play, scattered
Scattered in my mind
The bones they sink below
Inside the ebb and flow of the devils arms
Ohhhh
It's time to turn the page
An angel fell from grace, scolded
Scolded by the light
Chorus
Scolded, by your face, I’m broken
Scolded, by the hate you've spoken
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Bound by your prophecy
Lost in the darkness and disease
Ohhhh
You are the passenger
I am the scavenger, scolded
Scolded by the light
Chorus
Scolded, by your face, I’m broken
Scolded, by the hate you've spoken
Scolded, by your face, I’m broken
Scolded, by the hate you've spoken
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Scolded, by your face, I’m broken
Scolded, by the hate you've spoken

Meet Me On Melrose
04:21
|

|
Guess I’m leaving...
On a two o clock plane to you
Said you’d meet me
Beyond Spaulding Avenue
Looking way lost,
Like a goth girl at a 90s rave
Just an alt chic, who takes no shit
Fed up listening how she should behave
Chorus
Meet me on Melrose
I’ll be sipping my coffee black
Meet me on Melrose
Just a palm tree and a wild cat
Am I dreaming?
Where board shorts are the morning prayer
Nosferatu, driving dads coupe
A film noir ending in despair
See them staring
The devils hungry for the kill
I get my kicks from guitar licks
Hunt the moon child for the thrill
Chorus
Meet me on Melrose
I’ll be sipping my coffee black
Meet me on Melrose
Just a palm tree and a wild cat
Instrumental
Nuestra caída será nuestro egoísmo.
(Our downfall will be our selfishness)
Debemos levantarnos y luchar.
(We must stand up and fight)
Cuidado, alma oscura, tus mentiras te alcanzarán al final.
(Beware dark soul, your lies will catch up with you in the end.)
Instrumental
Chorus
Meet me on Melrose
I’ll be sipping my coffee black
Meet me on Melrose
Just a palm tree and a wild cat
Outro
Debemos levantarnos y luchar
(We must stand up and fight)
Confía en la bondad de los demás
(Trust in the goodness of one another)
El diablo se ríe mientras nosi ahogamos
(The devil laughs as we drown)
Sin amor, no somos nada
(Without love, we are nothing)

Not Without Love

Give me your innocence
Before our ignorance divides
Give me your innocence
I want your broken wings to fly
Softness will bring us back
before the world attacks,
crumbles and washes away
Our hearts hold every key
To every prison dream
How will you choose to behave?
Chorus
Not without love
Nooooo
Show me your innocence, ohh
Before the hate controls your mind
Show me your innocence, ohh
I’ll drain your poison veins inside
We drink the blood of fools
Burnin to break the rules
I’ll show you how to survive
Chorus
Not without love
Nooooo
Give me your innocence
Before the hate controls your mind

Electrified
04:17

And the city looked down on us
From across the great divide
As the fires raged below us
What a futuristic sight
Every building overturning
While the oceans rise above us
We’re electric, simulations
Of a neon constellation
When I think of how you make me feel inside
I feel electrified
When I dream of all the times we laughed and cried
I feel electrified
When I wake up
there’s a million reasons why
I feel electrified
We are electrified
I am electrified, I am electrified , I am electrified
I am electrified, I am electrified , I am electrified
Every building overturning
While the oceans rise above us
We’re electric, simulations
Of a neon constellation
When I think of how you make me feel inside
I feel electrified
When I dream of all the times we laughed and cried
I feel electrified
When I wake up there’s a million reasons why
I feel electrified
We are electrified
I am electrified, I am electrified , I am electrified
I am electrified, I am electrified , I am electrified

Shining beacon
Guiding light
Come to warn me
through the night
Stay below me
Hide your fear
Taking shelter
All is clear
Chorus
Faced with myself again and again
Wasting myself again and again
Taking myself again and again
Faced with myself again and again
Shining beacon
Speak to me
Save the mother
Lost at sea
Chorus
Faced with myself again and again
Wasting myself again and again
Taking myself again and again
Faced with myself again and again
Instrumental
Chorus
Faced with myself again and again
Wasting myself again and again
Taking myself again and again
Faced with myself again and
...again
