For Every Head a Halo

All this pressure brings a weight
We'd give anything for rain
Slow day, very dead, lay low
Go pray for every head a halo
Sun keeps burning too too bright
Still infernal ring all night
Okay, bury dead, payload
Go pray for every head a halo
You're a little bit smitten, admit it's true
I hope, I hope, I hope that you don't
'Cause god dammit I'm a little bit smitten too
But I don't, but i don't, but I don't wanna know
It's hard not to see every little thing you do
I know, I know, I know where you go
Hey wait a minute who's been stalking who?
Better go, better go, better go it alone
Someone let us in, hey wait -
Deathwish never been so great
Cocaine, cherry red, take slow
Go pray for every head a halo
You're a little bit smitten, admit it's true
I hope, I hope, I hope that you don't
'Cause god dammit I'm a little bit smitten too
But I don't, but i don't, but I don't wanna know
It's hard not to see every little thing you do
I know, I know, I know where you go
Hey wait a minute who's been stalking who?
Better go, better go, better go it alone
All this pressure brings a weight
We'd give anything for rain
No way the fire spreads or the flames grow
Go pray for every head a halo
When I can't fake another smile for you
Or dance when you want me to
Throw me out, I'm through,
I'm of no use
But I could maybe wait a while for you
If your plans fall through
I'll be on the roof
With Mars and Moon

Whole wide world
Gone to Hell
I found you
All is well
Whole wide world
Gone to piss
I found you
Don't need this
Whole wide world
Lost its shit
I found you
Who needs it
Whole wide world
Lost its mind
I found you
I found mine
Whole wide world
Lost its mind
I found you
I found mine
Whole wide world
Gone to Hell
I lost you
Oh well

Not In This House

It's a cinch
It's a breeze
Got it good
Got it down
Whoa whoa whoa
It's a sin
Such a stain
What to do
Where to hide
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
We did not want that in this house
We didn't want it in this house
We did not want that in this house
We did not want that in this house
In a pinch
Glory be
Never did
Ever learn
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
So if a king
Neighbor be
Take his throne
Or build your own
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa hey whoa
We didn't want that in this house
We did not want that in this house
We didn't want that in this house
We did not want that in this house
You're just a ghost in your own house
You're only haunting your house
We did not want that in this house
We did not want that in this house

Enough of Us
02:58
|

|
Call 'em back and get the news: another overdose
Do respect the recommended dosage for your nose
Met so many of you I don't know which one just died
And there never was enough of us to go around
Ain't you seen the latest news?
The devil's on the loose
Ate your weight in IOUs
The devil's on the loose
Never been so tempted, I just never learned to choose
And there's never been enough of it to go around
A hologram of her might be my only memory
Nevermind her multiples, erased one enemy
Met so many of her, I don't know which one's dead to me
But there never were enough of her to go around
We need more

Good Damage

She gives good damage
She shoot to thrill
Mighta took a couple bullets
But I managed
To dodge that kill
Don't give a good god dammit
For living under fire
She got the height advantage
From up on her highwire
But them's too few arms
For such a balancing act
Who do you think you been fooling
With all them facts?
She gives good damage
Whole world knows by now
She's on her own planet
Wearing her very own crown
Don't give a good god dammit
For dying in her wars
She got the height advantage
From up on her high horse
But them's too few hands
For such a balancing act
Who do you think you been fooling
With all them facts?

Many Thousand Moons

I can see you in your tiny bedroom
Fixing up the sheets on your new bed
Fixing up those stains before they get there
Call me honey when you can fix your head
Maybe if you weren't so full of shit dear
Might have pulled off your whole little scheme
But you ain't so good at what you think you're good at
Call me honey when you run out of steam
But I guess I never did quite trust you
As far as I could throw ya
Off of this roof -
a woo oo woo oo
And something stinks likes its been sitting in the sun
Twenty thousand days
Half your life adds up to half a truth
Oh but if you weren't so full of shit dear
I might never would have fell for you at all
And your ladder's looking weaker in the legs year after year
Get in touch when you have felt that fall
I can see you in your biggest bedroom
Racking up the points in that big ol' bed
If you run out of life to love and leave and grieve
Come and find me honey when I'm dead
Cause I guess I never did quite trust you
As far as I could throw you
Off of this roof
A woo oo woo
And something stinks like its been rotting in the sun
Many thousand moons
Half your life adds up to half a truth

Benjamin Lee Farley Asheville, North Carolina
Never took a lesson in my life. All songs written, played, sung/sang/sing-ed, produced, computerized / all album covers made
by Ben unless otherwise noted.
NONE of my sounds are made with Artificial Intelligence, just a few album covers. Is anybody reading this? If so thank you. If not, then I guess I can say whatever I want because you'll never read it. So fuck you I guess? Just kidding madluv.
