Swing low sweet cherry
Make it awful
It's your life, it's your party, it's so awful
Let's start a fire
Let's have a riot! Yeah it's awful
It was punk
Yeah, it was perfect now it's awful
They know how to break all the girls like you
And they rob the souls of the girls like you
And they break the hearts of the girls
Swing low, cherry, cherry
Yeah it's awful
He's drunk, he tastes
Like candy, he's so beautiful
He's so deep like dirty water
God, he's awful
You're lost, oh, where's your daddy

And they royalty rate all the girls like you
And they sell it out to the girls like you
To incorporate little girls
Hey, run away with the light
Run away it's divine
Let's run away, yeah, tonight and
We'll steal the light of the world
Swing low, sweet cherry, yeah, it's awful
You're ripe for the picking, it's so awful
You've got your youth
Don't waste your money

I was punk
Now I'm just stupid

Oh, just shut up you're only 16
If the world is so wrong
Yeah you can break them all
With one song
If the world is so wrong yeah you
can take it all
With one song
Swing low sweet cherry
Make it awful
They bought it all, just build a new one,
Make it beautiful...yeah
Hit So Hard
Put me up above the boy
The one I love I should destroy
My sweet tooth has burned a hole
Forget about it all
He hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God
He’s cold give him a candycoat
He can’t swim but he can float
One by one they all fall down
I look at him and drown
He hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God
I saw God
Just one big shiny flash, God
You're secret's safe tonight, God
So much, so much to lose, God
So glad that we're alive
He’s so candy my downfall
Melts in my mouth, 'til he’s nothing at all
This keeps me, I can’t sleep
He rages to be true
He hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God
I saw God
Just one big shiny flash, God
Oh set me straight tonight, God
Look at the pretty lights, God
Oh, man, he hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God
I saw God
Malibu
Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
How’d you get so desperate
How’d you stay alive
Help me please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh, come one be alive again
Don’t lay down and die
Hey, hey
You know what to do
Oh, baby, drive away
To Malibu
Get well soon
Please don’t go any higher
How are you so burned
When you’re barely on fire
Cry to the angels
I’m gonna rescue you
I’m gonna set you free tonight, baby
Pour over me
Hey, hey
We’re all watching you
Oh, baby fly away
To Malibu
Cry to the angels
And let them swallow you
Go and part the sea
In Malibu
And the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
And the sun goes down
I walk into the waves
And the sun goes down
I walk
And I knew
Love would tear you apart
Oh and I knew
The darkest secret of your heart
Hey hey
I’m gonna follow you
Oh, baby, fly away, yeah
To Malibu
Oceans of angels
Oceans of stars
Down by the sea
Is where you drown your scars
I can’t be near you
The light just radiates
I can’t be near you
The light just radiates
Reasons To Be Beautiful
Love hangs herself
With the bedsheets in her cell
Threw myself on fires for you
Ten good reasons to stay alive
Ten good reasons that I can’t find
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body
So sick in his soul
Oh, give me one reason to be beautiful
Oh, and everything I am
Love hates you
I live my life in ruins for you
And for all your secrets kept
I squashed the blossom
And the blossom’s dead
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body
So sick in his soul
Oh, and I will make myself so beautiful
Oh, and everything I am
Miles and miles of perfect skin
I swear I do, I fit right in
My love burns through everything
I cannot breathe
Miles and miles of perfect sin
I swear, I said, I fit right in
I fit right in your perfect skin
I cannot breathe
Hey, baby, take it all the way down
Hey, baby, take me anyway
Oh, you were born
So pretty oh, summerbabe
We’ll never know
And fading like a rose
Give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body
So sick in his soul
I’ll give you my body, just sell me your soul
Oh, and everything I am
Will be bought and sold
Oh, and everything I am
Will turn hard and cold
And they say in the end
You’ll get bitter just like them
And they steal your heart away
When the fire goes out you better learn to fake
It’s better to rise than fade away
Hey, you were right
Named a star for your eyes
Did you freeze?
Did you weep?
Turn to gold, baby, sleep
Hey, honey mine
I was there all the time
And I weep
At your feet
And it rains and rains
Dying
You've seen the cripple dance
Pay me your money, baby, now's your chance
Your love's like cyanide
I am so dumb
Just beam me up
I've had it all forever
I've had enough
Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin
Our love is quicksand
So easy to drown
They steal the gravity, yeah
From moving ground
Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin
And now I understand
You leave with everything
You leave with everything I am
Memories
And I know that love is dead
You come to bury me
There's nothing left here to pretend
Then it fades
Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin
I'm dying, I'm dying please
I'm dying, I'm dying please
I'm dying, I'm dying please
Under your skin
Under your skin
Use Once And Destroy
It’s the emptiness that follows you down
It’s the ache inside when it all burns out
It’s poisonous, it muscles, it aches
It’s everything you had when it breaks
It’s the emptiness, that’s all you have left
Too terrified of your frozen breath
It’s a bitter mouth, it’s buttered and knived
It’s the awful truth, you fight for your life
It might as well
It might as well hurt
It might as well
It might as well
I went down to rescue you
I went all the way down
Fill your hungry wretched life
Here they come, it’s closing time
It’s the bitter root, it’s twisted inside
It’s the heart you used to have when it died
It’s the emptiness, it poisons, it lies
It’s everything that you’ll never find
It might as well
It might as well hurt
It might as well
It might as well
I went down for the remains
Sort through all your blurs and stains
Take your rapture blister burns
Stand in line, it’s not your turn
All dressed in red
Always the bride
Off with her head
All dressed in white
Off with her head
I went down to rescue you
I went all the way down
I went down for the remains
Sort through all your blurs and stains
Ooh, I will follow you
Anytime anywhere
Ooh, I will come for you
Just say you don't care
Northern Star
And I cry and no one can hear
Inhale
The blinded eyes that see
The chaos
Bring the pitiful to me
Even though I’m wide-awake, I will,
And blackest night and I wait for you
It’s cold in here there’s no one left
And I wait for you
And nothing stops it happening
And I knew
I’d cherish all my misery alone
And I wait staring at the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead me anywhere,
He’s so cold
He will ruin the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights
Kneel into the frozen lights
And they paid, I cry and cry for you
Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
I cried 'cause you were doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows
All that’s cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude
They run to the pines
It’s black in here, blot out the sun
And run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free
And I knew
The fire and the ashes of his grace
And I wait staring at the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you very far
He’s so cold
He will win the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they’re cold and white
And I want you
And blessed are the broken
And I beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
Oh tear his heart out
Cold as ice it’s mine
And I wait praying to the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you anywhere
He’s so cold
Raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
And I pray begging to the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you anywhere
He’s so cold
He will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
Kneeling to the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they’re cold as ice
Boys On The Radio
Do what you want
Cause I'll do anything and
I'll take the blame
What's mine is yours
You can have all all of it and
I learn to beg
Oh, boys on the radio
They crash and burn
They fold and fade so slow
In your endless summer night
I’ll be on the other side
When you’re beautiful and dying
All the world that you’ve denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Tonight
I want what's yours
Oh, I'll give anything and
I'll take the pain
I wait alone
For what will never come and
I throw it all away
Oh, the boys on the radio
They crash and burn
They fold and fade so slow
In your endless summer night
I’ll be on the other side
When you’re beautiful and dying
All the world that you’ve denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Your beauty blinds
If I let you in
Under my skin
And risen
Every angel slain
He said he'd never ever, ever go and
Heavens, heavens, heavens no and
Never ever, ever go away
Baby, I've gone away
In your endless summer night
I’ll be on the other side
When you’re beautiful and dying
All the world that you’ve denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Your beauty blinds
I know what you are running to
Please come back
Oh, come back again
I hear the truth
It’s coming from you
Oh come back
Won’t come back again
In your endless summer night
I’ll be on the other side
When the water is too deep
I will ease your suffering
When the glitter fades in the morning
Turn away and you will find my empty eyes
Your beauty blinds
I know that you are rotten to the core
I know that you don’t love me anymore
I know that you are rotten to the core
Heaven Tonight
Here comes the sun
In the form of a girl
She's the finest sweetest thing
In the world
Take you to heaven tonight
I feel the horses
Coming galloping
In the summer and
Take you to heaven tonight
'Cause I love you
For what you are
I'll gallop to you
Tonight, tonight
We'll ride
I'll give it to you
We're going to heaven tonight
Tonight
On the winding road
I couldn't wait
Oh, baby I was afraid
Heading for heaven tonight
I'll go to heaven tonight
I feel the horses
Coming galloping
I will never grow old
I’ll go to heaven tonight
Because I love you
For what you are
I'll gallop to you
Tonight tonight
We'll ride
I'll bow down to you
We're going to heaven tonight
Tonight
I can't believe that I could be happy
Summer will come again, I could be happy
Oh, stop your crying, you could be happy
Go to heaven where you made me happy
Here comes the kiss that I never had
Nothing feels like this
Heading for heaven tonight
I love you
Here comes the storm and the form of a girl
She's the finest, sweetest thing in the world
Oh, I'll go to heaven tonight
For what you are
I'll gallop to you
Tonight tonight
We'll ride
I'll bow down to you
We're going to heaven tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Take it tonight
Take it tonight
Take me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Playing Your Song
Hey you, you’re way ahead of me
You’re drunk on apathy
You burned right out
Hey you, you’re just a cripple now
We sell for millions now
They sold you out
And, oh, I had to tell them you were gone
I had to tell them they were wrong
And now they’re playing your song
Hey you, don’t take it out on me
You’re bored of everything
You burned right out
Hey you, so bored and cynical
It’s fucking wonderful
They sold you out
And, oh, they’ve bought and sold it all, it's gone
They’ve taken it and built a mall
And now they’re playing your song
Ooh, their innocence tastes like candy, yeah
Get so fat on it, it’s a tragedy, yeah
I can help you come to me, yeah
Just bring your innocence to me, yeah
Hey you, don’t you dare blame me
You trusted everything
They sold you out
Hey, you, now when they call it cool
It’s just so mean and cruel
They sold you out
And, oh, they bought and sold it all, it’s gone
And every note of it is wrong
And now they’re playing your song
Yeah yeah yeah
And, oh, they’ve bought and sold it all, it's gone
They’ve taken it and built a mall
And now they’re playing your song
They're playing playing your song
They're playing playing your song
They're playing playing your song
Petals
She's the angel on
Top of the tree
Sugar-heart, here she comes
She's going to fall on me
Innocence was our fire
We told the truth
I miss the sweet boys
In the summer of their youth
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
They will make you so
So cynical
The fire burns the flesh
Destroy the best in me that's old
She's the grace of this world
She's too pure
For the likes of this world
This world is a war
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Ah, it's all mine and
Hey, it's all mine and
Help, it's all mine
I never knew what I could be
All the darling buds of May
They fall with no sound
They carry you down
They carry you down
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
All the lilies bloomed and blossomed
Wilted and they’re shivering
I can’t stop their withering
Oh, this world is a war
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
