loneliness and isolation blood sweat and tears what is success? is it just a story? society is the drug that fuels our fears society is the drug, my dear

we used to gaze out at the moon for hours and hours on end that was what we liked to do in the summer we stood down by the docks with all our friends and this was what we did all night you would have loved it i know that you're the only one who can see me these days, oh you come on, come on we went down by the riverside we hid our stuff there all the time, we did it was so beautiful yes it was, so beautiful

peach moon 00:56
sun-smudged peach moon softer than an ice cream cone in june why is it that lightning strikes so perfectly at night? what you do is what you choose but consider consequences when you lose all my life I've been waiting for a sign to say move on and tonight all the salt that's in the air just feels right sun-smudged peach moon softer than an ice cream cone in june why is it that lightning purrs so strikingly at night?

there's a creature in the night it looks like a dog but I'm not sure it's scaring me take a look outside with your telescope you'll see what i see I'm convinced of it look out your window, my dear you'll see it standing there it's so terrifying I'm not sure you can take it it's really scaring me it looks like a dog but it's not it's furry, it's scary, its hind legs are up and it's rising with you just look outside i beg and then you'll see what i see i am convinced of it, my dear look outside of your window you will see it with me it is terrifying me it is standing up now just look it's standing up on its hind legs it's roaring, it's growling, it's coming for us look at it, look at it now it's standing on its hind legs it's roaring, it's clawing look at it going, coming towards us we are scared and let's run run for our lives

do you remember when we were kids we went down to the trees and we hid something there down by the water, look what we found down by the water, do you remember? i'm not sure you do we hid all of our things left them to rot there for the rest of our lives we'll never find them, unless you think we will but we won't, you see let's go down by the water today we can find what we left oh yes, we can yes we can! let's go down by the water today
7.

baby bitch 01:45
if you're going to be immature just don't, you bitch! ;) some of us have more than a scratch to itch... try having an illness or a breakup instead of losing your favourite purse i liked you until you showed your skin now i want to put you in the bin grow up or go to hell! you laugh at us - well we'll laugh at you i wonder why i don't see you there at school you laugh at us, well we'll laugh at you! how can you be so damn cruel? why is it that you are so upset with how i behave? it just doesn't make sense i liked you until you showed your skin now i want to put you in the bin grow up or go to hell! hahahahaahhahahaa

sad song 02:23
i feel really sad and i don't know why this was never going to work but now i want to cry i wanted you to leave but i could never say goodbye this was never really love but still i wanted us to try i can see you hanging around by yourself you're alone in town i can see you nearly crying look at me I'm nearly dying this is what i wanted to see you by yourself and not with her this is all i really want this is all i can see in my thoughts i don't know that this is you you don't know that this is me she might still be by your side i don't know that I'm nearly crying look at me I'm nearly dying look at me, this is what i see! HEY is that what you want from me?
11.
every time you pass you pass by my house i can see you there in the flames i can see you standing there with your furry face and your hairy toes i know that's why you're there i don't think i can hear you but now that is what i see in you so stop your loathing inside of me i can see you standing there with all your lonesome hair and your lonesome face and i know that's why you've come please don't hurt me please don't see we're the same, you and me we can make it that way please don't stop inside of me i can see you there i love you with all of my heart that's why i say this stop, stop, stop your work stop, my dear the bows, the bows, the torches are coming you can hear their blows every day the blood is dripping on your forehead that's what i long to see, you, unable to do your harm
12.
don't tempt fate it's a monster ready to strike it could kill you, and it will that bloodthirsty monster the slightest move, the slightest word be careful, is all i say heal the wound on your arm before it's too late just don't tempt fate blood will rush and your face will flush keep wary it's very scary trust me, i know very well how do you think i can give such advice? i'm not just a face full of nice all the time i am threatened and so are you keep a cool head and the clouds will turn blue the sky will turn red know what i said keep careful and don't, don't tempt fate
