the past is a grotesque animal
and in its eyes, you see
how completely wrong you can be
how completely wrong you can be

the sun is out, it melts the snow that fell yesterday
makes you wonder why it bothered

I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met
who could appreciate Georges Bataille
standing at a swedish festival
discussing Story of the Eye
discussing Story of the Eye

it's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you
how can I explain I need you here and not here, too
how can I explain I need you here and not here, too

I'm flunking out
I'm flunking out
I'm gone
I'm just gone
but at least I authored my own disaster
but at least I authored my own disaster

performance breakddown
and I don't want to hear it
I'm just not available
things could be different
but they're not

oh, oh
things could be different
but they're not

the mousey girl screams violence, violence
the mousey girl screams violence
she gets hysterical
'cause they're both so mean
and it's my favorite scene
oh, the cruelty so predictable
makes you sad on the stage
though a love project has so much potential

let's tear the fucking house apart
let's tear our fucking bodies apart
let's just have some fun

you've lived so brightly
you've altered everything
I find myself searching for old selves
whilst speeding forward through the plate-glass of maturing selves

but even apocalypse is fleeting
there's no death, no ugly world
sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you
mythologizing me like I do you

we want our film to be beautiful, not realistic
you see me in the radiance of terror dreams
you can betray me
you can
you can betray me

teach me something wonderful
crown my head, crown my head with your lilting effects
project your fears onto me
I need to view them
see there's nothing to them
I promise you there's nothing to them

I'm so touched by your goodness
you make me feel so criminal
how do you keep it together?
I'm all unraveled

d'you know
no matter where we are
we're always touching by underground wires

I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
but most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
and none of our secrets are physical
none of our secrets are physical
none of our secrets are physical, no
