DISASTER
Let me dream before disaster
Count back from one again
Between here and hereafter
You can call it in the air
You’re so cool under the klieg lights
Swaying side to side
Hard cores crack open wide
I’m yours. Are you mine?
We’re clicking all night long
It’s clicking like a time bomb
Are we having a blast now?
Danse
The comeback
Thought we’d play along
Thought we’d have some fun
Right or wrong
Go out on a high
Nothing much to prove
Nothing left to say
Can’t change a fucking mind
A last laugh
You don’t have to stick around
Don’t wanna drag you down
I’m just a clown without a disguise
Nothing much to lose
Nothing more to gain
Can’t beat/break a broken heart
Dance tonight for your life
Danse Macabre with me
Dance tonight for your life
Dance to death if you please
Scars
Some scars lay hidden in plain sight
Unburied hatchets stacked on high
Can’t get back the mistakes I took
But I’d give anything to be with you tonight
Can’t explain just know I won’t let our thing fade into nothing
Our bloodied hearts will beat tonight
Cold/Dead stars burnt out in the sky
Shimmer of gold when they collide
C’mon, let’s get lost in the satellites
Whisper your every wish to me
I can’t explain just know not for nothing, we should be something
Our bloodied hearts will beat tonight
Can’t explain just know I won’t let our thing fade into nothing
Our bloodied hearts will beat tonight
COLLAPSE
Something come over me
Some hopeless dream
O’ say can you see
a reckoning
beyond the screen/scream?
Once: tragic
Twice: executions
Collapse in it
Collapse with me
Fire
Caught in the fire
A form
A face
Crying out for you to hear
God’s own child
Expires on the pavement
All fucked up for you to see
Lost in the ire
Awake in a bad dream
Haunted by the cavalry/revelry
The roiling gyre
Evermore rapacious
Worms itself inside of me too
Let me go
Goons
Hold the line
Don’t make any sudden moves
Bide your time
Respect the instrument
Hold fast the attack
Just don’t forget to breathe
Bite your tongue
Protect the innocent
Just feed/need some screens
It’s all hands on the deck
The whole cast made a pact
Now it’s your turn to lead
It’s all in the wrist
Cool
I won’t fight, call it what you like
A tragedy
Shifting loyalties
Was/Once in love
Now only in spite
Out of heart
Out of mind
Got no cause to hold you to the fire
Set it free
Embers on a breeze
Got a light?
I don’t mind
It’s cool, I can be cool
It’s cool, I’ll try to be cruel
Float away
Out of heart/touch
Out of time
It’s cool, thought it’d be cool
It’s cool, I’ll try to be cruel
Out of luck
Out of my mind
Olderlap
I don’t know
I don’t care
I don’t want to go/sing along
I don’t want to leave my chair
I don’t want to rock
Don’t want to bop around/follow you on TikTok
I don’t want to be content
I don’t want… I don’t wanna
No, no, no. I really don’t
I don’t want to smell the glove / fall in love
I don’t want to join a club
I don’t want to fuck or fight
Don’t want to be up all night
Oh, no, no. I really don’t
Nope, nope, no uh-uh
I really do not
I don’t want to be Johnny Rotten
Or John Joseph motherfucking Lydon
I don’t (even) want to play this song
