and all i really need left to live is you
use my beating heart to keep yourself in time
take my beating heart - i know it's not believable
take my beating heart - i'm searching for my soul
take my beating heart - i'm looking for relief

bet with my head to take your hand on the stage
we'll see which one goes back to cry alone in the end

positive masculinity
03:45
|

oh you're a master of your commodities, but hopeless at sustainability
so let's practice positive masculinity
you're gonna need all of me, to use your self-taught ability
let's practice positive masculinity
you're gonna need all of me, to use your self-taught ability
i want you touching me, take me back to your reality
you make me pretty sticky, your body's pointed at me
keep me trembling, shaky and sweaty, i want your tongue hooked into me
you shut me up as you enter the room, i get excited just to be around you
it's only us and nothing else to do, so, let me feel my way around you
hey i'm no wannabe, i know i can honour your service fees
let me immerse myself your amenities
if you can guarantee, you won't be held back by my frequencies
come show me the best of your inner energy
slide up and get close to me, and do what you can with all that energy
so i want you touching me, take me back to your reality
put both your hands on me, my eyes are blind to your fidelity
let’s practice positive masculinity
cause i wanna use all of me, to train your self-taught abilities, yeah
let's practice positive masculinity
get a grip, i want us grinding hips, i wanna-
i wanna get a grip, i want us grinding hips
i wanna us touching lips, i want us touching tips, i wanna-
(like, sort of like that?)
i wanna get a grip, i want us grinding hips
i wanna us touching lips, i want us touching tips
(ba ba ba ba baaa ba ba ba- ba ba ba ba baaa ba ba ba)
i'll spend my nights beside you, no ego underneath you,
i want to stay home with you, and get all tongue tied with you
all this time right beside you, but i belong underneath you
i want to come home to you, and waste my nights around you
well you're a master of your commodities, to jump past all the formalities
but you don’t have to say it so explicitly
come on and get me what i need

miserable moaner

let's get to the back of, the club, cmon dude, get loose!
shake a tail, killer whale, dripping on my front and backside,
such a lovely easy fun time
i wanna get you started
let's get to the back of, the stalls, cmon dude, get loose!
win or fail, killer whale, lemme see ya walk the dog, oh i'm
losin' my obsessive little mind
just watching you get wasted
starin' at the sky,
god you look so pretty
sweat runs down your thighs
high above the city
roll back in your head
hum for me a tune
whatever fits your mood
whatever rocks my bed
starin' at the sky,
god you look so pretty
sweat runs down your thighs
high above the city
roll back in your head
hum for me a tune
whatever fits your mood
whatever rocks my bed
wrapped around my finger, dragged across the apex
of my blank head, clear it up instead of givin me the
chance, fall victim to your trance, concocted of the
past, a romance-
get my head in the game, i've got demons to serve, i've got
nothing in my pockets cause my hands got the nerve, to go and
reach into the crowd to find your hands at the end, but when i
try it for real, i get a one-night stand
fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
my eyes are full of stars and my-
five six seven eight!

birdsong
03:14
|
|||
fuck
wake up feeling like i got jpeg fuzz
every morning on my eyes stitched shut
covered in your fluff, yep this birdy's had enough
oh he's holding on to something but i can't just put my feathers on it
forgotten what the soft sun's touch is supposed to feel like
it's raining but my skin's so rough i've given up
i'm patient but i don't feel sane
someone put me under so that someone takes apart my brain
beat 'em to the punch, gotta get what i need, gotta
give you what i got, and leak it from my beak, cause i
wanna sing along, something i can string along, in my
sickly birdsong made of stuff i know is wrong, yeah
beat 'em to the punch, gotta get what i need, gotta
give you what i got, and leak it from my beak, cause i
wanna sing along, something i can string along, in my
sickly birdsong made of stuff i know is wrong
peek into your room, watch you let down your hair, and i'm
hiding what i'm doing as you shimmer in the bare, god i'm
trying to be blind, but i don't know when to look again
to face my inner hate but i need you in other ways
you won't believe the prices that they gotta charge
cause your body is majestic but your soul is rock-hard
i'm crying on the floor but i won't call it till it's over
cause i know we're open-ended
(come on) let me obsess over you
(let me obsess over you)
(let me obsess over you)
(let me obsess over you)
(let me obsess over you)
(let me obsess over you)
(let me obsess over you)
(let me obsess over you)
(let me obsess sess sess sess)
you got legs like a trash compactor
you got a bite mark from your last encounter
you got arms like the cia
you got a look so sharp it's half the reason i'm gay
i can feel you trembling, i'm picking up the speed
and if i hit your fingers then your hand will start to bleed
i can see you mumbling, you've never done it really
i ask you, i stop you- don't you want to take it seriously?
fuck
not used i'm being wasted
i'm not used, my body wasted
body's not used, i'm being wasted

get outta there
03:37
|
|||
i don't know where i've got to go
so i'm not stuck here all alone
i don't know what i've got to say
so someone like me sees my face
oh you know, i could hide somewhere in the gutters out back
i could sell myself at a pet store, somewhere far safer than here
i could try, to find my way out of this place
long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again
(rights to myself)
i could try, to find my way out of this place
long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again
i could try, to find my way out of this place
long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again
i could try, to find my way out of this place
long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again

when the spell runs out
03:19
|
|||
i'm worried for when the spell runs out
if you'll all forgive me, for being away
when the spell runs out
i grant you permission to click away
if only I could sit there longer
while I muster up emotional power
to give my words, the voice that they deserve
but it's a voice I still have not heard
when all the magic's gone
i wanna tell you i love you, but you gotta
yank my chain, down to earth, say the
number of kisses don't make my worth
i keep-on making it up as i go
cause these old words don't have a home
it's a simple idea in my head, but there's nobody else to test with
it's all too late, the blame is waterlogged, at the bottom of lakes
doing crime before i'm a threat
switching sides before it's more than a bit
if what i want is just the commitment then
why am i so scared to commit?
when all the magic's gone
i hope i'm saved by people i love
i oughta let myself enjoy it all, and there's
always a haven in the hospital
my ssd at full capacity
some words just never meant to be
how can i show you how much you mean to me?
can i just show you how much you mean to me?

one lonely evening
05:25
|
|||
he's just a solo kid out on his own
doing just fine playing all alone
stuck on a stage to busk for attention
he won't ask for me, he just hopes someone listens
i've started to fall in love with the way that you say your words
every little mutter you make could be poetry, even if it's never heard
so what if you and i team up, to make the spotlight last all night
but if we storm the stage together, we'll just take our feelings out on eachother
i'm a little tongue-tied, i've got a bad case of bedhead
i'm afraid to say the first word, cause we'll open up and talk about what we regret
all these things i could tell you, my brain's been dying to share
but i'm afraid to scare you, cause i know your love's so rare
if in the end i could forget about this, i might as well try to now
some things in my life i've found are better off forgotten about, now
now that i get it i've been so self-absorbed
now that i get it i'd hope i'd be yours, just
scrap the person that i was before
now that i get it i've been so self-absorbed
and i don't wanna be a part of me anymore
and i don't wanna be a part
you whispered in my ear something i can't forget
but it wasn't quite clear so i made up the rest
and when you repeat it i get the feeling
i'll never take you as you are
it's just something that i can't stop asking myself
am i making the most of my time?
so you wanna stop by and visit?
cause maybe i could make you mine
when you smiled, oh yeah you did,
i never let it go once it left your lips
well i've got faith, but i don't got you
yeah who is it for, i got no clue
well i'll be fine, i just need a guide
i can't be alone when i step off the ride
i put you through this now i'll put you down
i need some time, i need some time
you said the pressure is something to call our own
the pressure is something to call our own
you said the pressure is something to call our own
the pressure is something to call our own
you said the pressure is something to call our own
the pressure is something to call our own
you said the pressure is something to call our own
the pressure is something to call our own

i can't stand you coming here while i'm
working up the nerve
my heart's gotta take priority, i just
don't really wanna be here right now
i'm hopeless, what can i do, what can i do
and i'm not the only one with stories to hide, here tonight
come crawling to my feet
i'm begging you to hide in the room with me
broken pride upon the floor but you
can't hurt me further than you have before
pouring sweat coming from all sides
is anyone here already not surprised
seven minutes is all i need tonight
we're both coming clean
i'm crawling at the sky
i've been a pretty horrible guy
when my thoughts get so repressed, they condense
to pretend it's everything that i wanted
i set this up so i could come clean
you didn't tell me i was being obscene i'm
just so fucking anxious baby
i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
come crawling to my feet
i'm begging you to hide in the room with me
broken pride upon the floor but you
can't hurt me further than you have before
pouring sweat coming from all sides
is anyone here already not surprised
seven minutes is all i need tonight
we're both coming clean
okay i've been a little desperate
bashing everyone who thought i couldn't be strong
i learned a lot that didn't help for shit
were you even awake to hear me?
i swear i've gone and told you fifteen times
and i just hope each one i remember my lines
nobody seems to want to listen but i still love you for other reasons
was it really about your personality?
was it only because the way you look at me?
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
rinse, repeat, you've lost your colour, it's all my fault i keep bleaching your coat
rinse, repeat, you've lost your thunder, everyone can tell when you're in my home
rinse, repeat, you've lost your colour, it's all my fault i keep bleaching your coat
rinse, repeat, you've lost your thunder, everyone can tell when you're in my home
you're my anchor for a sea of strangers and i feel safe when it's all too much, but
you're the angel who was sent to kill me, and my last moment's when we finally touch
and i feel safe when i get closer to you, but
you're the angel who was sent to kill me, and don't you know it's everything i wanted from you
and i will never hide my face or what i do again
dirt and mud washed off, glitter painted on
cause only time will tell, if i learn anything at all
well
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me
i'm just so damn anxious baby and i'm begging you to put the blindfold on me

talk to me
09:31
|

I wanna tell you again, I said
I wanna tell you again, if I could
but it just hurts...well
I thought it was set when I sent, the message that I
got to you in the way that I wanted to,
after all this time, I've been
tryin' way too hard. It's like,
I spent my weekend lookin out for
who I could've seen for support, but I
kept myself cornered in my own realm
and expected you to come forward
I didn't wanna think about your response, the
way you would or even at all, cause
how am I supposed to know what to do if I
finally tell you "hey I think I like you"?
it's only him who understands,
, he knows how worked up i've been, it's
spillin' out the sides of my head, i
finally hit send
...
Will my future be happy?
Do I get full agency?
Why won't you just trust me?
You said you'll just have to see
But I thought the world was that simple,
the universe revolves around winners
Nobody told me, my friends are all guilty, who
treat their love like a commodity!
What's the deal with loves coming out?
Like the stars align, and fate decides
You better get ready if someone gets hurt, no
Second thoughts on how to get out
I just wanted to find someone
that I could go to every day who'd
be sure to follow me, as
long as they make use of my body
I tried to get my message out, but it
hit you in the face like a cinder block
Who cares about first impressions, I
al-ways make things up in the end
...
So you gave me a chance to change
I wanted to find a way, to
make sure we got arranged to
grow together in every situation
but you didn't say anything
that it was bothering you
I just shot around for my dreams
I didn't realize, I shot you too
...
You told me that I could change myself
that I've got good intentions
somehow you saw that, behind all the
panic and danger I put myself in
You said you gave me another chance
to do things right as if we never met
but what good was all of that when it
took so long to get your attention?
You gave me a second chance,
I tried not to fuck it up
-
-
I didn't want to fall in love
I just wanted to find someone
Who'd hide my eyes when I didn't like
the way my life was turning out
I blamed you
I hated you
-
But you wouldn't leave my dreams
I put you under the guillotine
I demonized you in my own schemes
- I
wanted to put you at my mercy
Cause I was just so angry
I didn't know where to turn when
all my friends had left and gone, and I
didn't feel like starting over again
I didn't try to find anyone new
I didn't know what to do
I thought I knew it would come to a head, if I
told you, "I wish we were all dead"
Cause who could I have found
in this forward-facing town?
...Who would under
stand me at my lowest? And
Doesn't the context say a whole lot about
who I am, and doesn't that absolve me?
Of my responsibilities?
I guess I only know half my own story.
-
But maybe I'm not
so great. To
find someone like you, who is
Strong, willing and compassionate
To give people
another look when they realize they
fucked something up
So you took my hand
And said it wouldn't work out
But you told me there's a silver lining
cause that's how the best of stories go
If I could learn to change myself
and not be so obsessed
over something like a relationship
like it's a possession
If I could treat you like a person
like I did all those years ago
then maybe we could find some equal ground
but I'm done with trying to frame anything
Burnabyyyyyyyyyyy do you
hear that?
It's no longer in my ears.
It's up to me now.
Burnabyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
...Can't you hear the
ringing?
-
Darling? I'm already
getting used to this
I still want to throw myself away
-
But not entirely
just the parts that I didn't want in the first
place
Leave behind, all those parts that I was holding onto
A dangerous
coping mechanism
cause I let it
fester. I let it
accumulate. I didn't talk to
anyone, about how I was feeling or
how I wanted to feel that way.
And I didn't realize that
I was in it for the fans
not even to serve myself, I regret
dragging you into this
but now I know what I want
cause anger only got me this far
...you bet I'm willing to change
...for you...
Burnaby,
talk to me,
Burnaby,
talk to me,
Burnaby,
I'll do it gratefully
I wanna listen to you
so long as you'll listen to me
Burnaby,
talk to me,
Burnaby,
talk to me,
Burnaby,
I'll do it gratefully
for you I'll always listen, and
I wanna be, some, one, to, be-lieve, in
