Oh we live inside
Pity her fate
Make fun of the times
Complain of your own indeed
The farthest boundary
The highest reach
And who should we be without it?
Who should we be without it?
Use whatever's beautiful
You are a necessary evil
Always a nuisance
More dangerous when you're laden
Gape with admiration
We must try and conquer it
But who should we be without it?
Who should we be without it?
Nightmares come from the stomach
Say a few words before dying
Oh we live inside
So we don't have to face it
Life of the party must not fail to say
All are gone, all are forgotten
The old familiar faces threw their love away
Exercise reduction
Exercise gaining weight
More of us will never forget it
More of us will come to forget it
Oh we live inside
Make fun of the times
And who should we be without it?
Life of the party
Must not fail to say
All are gone or forgotten
The old familiar face took your love away
Who should we be without it?
Who should we be?

The Same Thing

Streets no longer make sense
I'm learning to crawl again
All these ways to move
I don't know when you want anything
That's what you always say
I tend to think that everyone owes everyone everything
Maybe we mean the same thing
I did my best to escape you
To fuck and fuck and love too
A wounded animal makes due
I locked myself inside your sediment
Dreamt on the body of regret
Lived as a somnambulist
I'm not gonna fake it
I'm not gonna break it
I'm not gonna move it
I'm not gonna change it
That's why you always say that
Maybe we mean the same thing

Over countertops, it's excessive
Approximately 700 miles between my endless bottle of wine, your bedroom
I stutter back and forth between yes something is wrong and more of the same, yes, make me forget
Silly plans how I make you
Holidays turn into crimes too
I am brandishing toward you
I know I got no right but what can I say?
Knots lose their strength
And it's the way that you want me to quit that I stay
Give me the benefit
You always knew I was the worst bet
Telling jokes for cigarettes
Easy excuses for faulty logic
Now I'm up to my neck in limits
Rub my eyes every minute
Fuck it buy a ticket
Tell her that you miss it
And it's the way that you want me to quit that I stay

LA

When our hearts trample Los Angeles
We can make no excuses
Build a body from the specifics
Make a luscious and delicious mess
So long to mysterious
A bottle and some confidence
Filthy hands and a compliment
Now we’re fighting in my bed
Won’t remember all my promises
Give a hand for the swapped spit
Steal a kiss for the damages
Now I’m following my own lead
No regard for the casualties
So long to mysterious
Confess later all I’ve done
In the alley of Alameda
Drown the father’s contributions
With the mother’s addiction
Give it back to Los Angeles
Escape Los Angeles
So long to mysterious
Escape Los Angeles
