It’s easy
I just copied your key, see
Did you think you could trust me?
Since when do I respect privacy?
My love,
It’s not that hard
I’ve been watch ing from your backyard
Let me leave you my calling card
In the form of a body
My brain’s hyperfocused
I can’t concentrate enough to breathe
I defile my body
Pleasing you is my priority
It’s easy
I just copied your key, see
Did you think you could trust me?
Since when do I respect boundaries?
My love,
It’s not complex
After all of our cybersex
I obtained your IP address
And I’m coming for coffee
When I tell you that it’s early, you say,
“We’ll just take our time,”
We’re on a ride
I’m out of my mind
You’re flinging my marbles (so far, I think they're gone)
You say you’re afraid to die,
I promise this isn’t your time
Nor is is mine
So darlin’, come here
I’m not gonna hurt you
And I’ve got my property spending Sunday evenings
Camped out on my floor
Wearing fuck me eyes and a grin that makes me wanna
Paint her brains on the door
You just wanna play
I give my love to GTA
Sweet honey kisses on your thighs after I cut them
It’s easy
I just copied your key, see
Did you think you could trust me?
Since when do I respect basic needs?
My love,
It’s not abstract
Ever since we made eye contact
We've established a suicide pact
Laminated and glossy
So what’s the world gonna do?
Six hundred sixty six feet underground
I’ve got you sitting Clockwork Orange style with all my metal dedicated to your eyes
It seems to good to be true
All your wet nightmares realized in life
The way I move my bony limbs and drag a chain around your neck
Our outline
I’m just asking, what’s the world gonna do?
Are some foreign forces gonna sweep in and rescue you?
My sweet baby tooth, you’re hanging from a gum thread
You should try dangling instead
What’s the world gonna do?

The Golden Rule
06:02
|
|||
Why do you look at me with such fear in your eyes?
Cause honey, I’m harmless and soon you will learn
That I get by
With the help of something in mind
It’s a regulation
A code of conduct that will turn
Someone you think is evil to a saint,
And yeah, it works the other way
I learned that pulling all my lovers from the grave
Their bodies bruised and blue in death,
But I saw beauty where I left it
On their necks and thighs,
My errors they forgave
Why are you non-responsive, my love
Do we have a problem?
Your skin looks so colorless now
I’ve got my rule, I intend to use it, but babe,
Please don’t get abusive
Only so much I can allow
Before somebody takes the blame for all the urges we can’t tame
I’m far too young and sweet and small to go to jail
Our love defies the petty sects of oxygen and life and death
So let me take it all out on you, I won’t fail
Cause I
Treat others the way I wanna be treated
I leave
Limbs broken and lungs punctured and eyes blue
My love, I’d never hurt you without reason but
Love without violence is treason
That’s why I stick to my golden rule
Why does your sour stench follow me home?
Though I scrub my hands till they foam, I still smell recent death
I clear my head, well, at least I try to
In bed, my mind rushes to you
The thought of you makes me a mess
Your bony body splayed out on the blanket spread upon the dirt next to your grave where I come see you once a week
And when our fingers intertwine, I know that all the planet’s time couldn’t change the way you make my knees and elbows weak
Why do I still see life in your eyes?
Though the time has passed, your demise seems fallacious to me
I hold your hand, swear I feel you squeeze it
The end isn’t here, no not yet
I just hope you can forgive me
A crime of passion tells you that I’m really not so violent
I lost my temper, baby, and you had some nerve
Just meant to scare you love, that’s all
So really, don’t look so appalled
I’ll make it up to you, despite our learning curve
Cause I
Treat others the way I wanna be treated
I leave
Scars open, I rub the salt in the wound
My love, I’d never hurt you without reason but
Love without violence is treason
And that’s why I stick to my golden rule
You’re just too young to understand it
I guess you’re stuck the age you were when you died
And that’s my fault, and I’ll admit it
But I’ve got something to fix it, my love, it’s the
Golden rule

Let's Not
03:19
|

I’m gonna leave you
When you need me the most
I’m gonna cheat on you with your brother
And then make you drive me home
I'm gonna tell you that your love is expendable
Oh my darling, I’m not dependable
So baby, please, let’s not fall in love
I’m gonna hurt you
When you think that you’re safe
I’m gonna spy on you in the shower
And then tell you you’re insane
I’m gonna tell you you deserve nobody but me
It’s not toxic, you asked for everything
So baby, listen, please let’s not fall in love
Can we agree not to do that?
I’ll make your life a hell, I don’t wanna put you through that
You seem invincible but honey, I can see through that
I just don’t wanna endow you with damage that’s mine
So can you promise me one thing?
I’m tearing out my hair hoping you’ll realize that something
Is deeply fucking wrong with me and you should be running
As far as you can manage, baby, staying alive
I’m gonna cut you while you’re living in dreams
I’m gonna plant myself in your psyche
Before you know what it means
I’m gonna twist your moral compass to match with mine
You’ll question your being, like, all the time
So baby, listen, please, let’s not fall in love
So am I proving my point yet?
You’re far too sweet and gentle to be ruined by me yet
And if I crack your kindness, I know we’ll both regret it
I just don’t wanna fill your life with trauma that’s mine
So can you promise to keep all
Your feelings for me locked under security, you fall
In deeper than you are for me, and baby, you’ll free fall
Into a web of torture of my careful design
Please can we agree not to do that?
I’m begging you, for your own good, and also for mine
I promise, baby,
You deserve to thrive, and I’ll take your life if we fall in love

My baby’s got me feeling like it’s 1971
Like I’m a college kid depending on some extra funds
And I’m looking for opportunity
I’m bony, but my mind’s beyond my years
My body’s the catalyst for human hatred, too
My lover’s got me going to a private university
In Stanford, California, where the skies are clear and blue
And the air smells like price tags on success
One fuck up, and my mighty stature’s gone
So over the summer, I will do what I can do
Because I’m trapped inside the basement of our love
Waste my time pacing, wondering what
The time I spend here’s gonna do to me and you
And if our future’s bright, God, I can’t tell
Behind this blindfold, might as well
Be constant night
But I can’t fight
Our sweet Stanford prison experiment, my love
My darling’s got me pressed against my car at 4:01 PM
The metal stings my skin, the afternoon sun burns my eyes
But it’s all part of the experience
They say immersion really works the best
Despite my discomfort, I’ll endure it all for you
The days are getting shorter now that time and space are meaningless
This place isn’t a basement, I swear it’s a prison cell
And corruption runs rampant, sour, and deep
I see sparks every time I close my eyes
Whether I’m malnourished or in love, I’ve no idea
Somebody, I’m trapped inside the prison of our love
Waste my time thinking, dreaming of
The days when freedom was a truth for me and you
And if our future stands, God, I can’t reach
Behind these handcuffs, everything
Is out of touch
But I can’t rush
Our sweet Stanford prison experiment, my love
Have I been here for years?
The years are getting rough
I know you’d never hurt me, but, my love
My trust is spread so thin
My limbs are pulled so taught
My body’s getting weaker and I’m not
Present like I should be
The shell of my stomach is empty
I’m just watching every guard waiting for you, darling
Trapped inside the graveyard of our love
Waste my time chasing after what
I think are shadows of the you I swear I knew
And if our future’s there, God, I don’t know
Under this dirt, my senses go
A mile an hour
It still has power
Our sweet Stanford prison experiment, my love
If our future's bright, God, I can't see
Everything is out of touch
Our sweet Stanford prison experiment, my love

Baby, I'm Bleeding
04:28
|
|||
The marks that you leave on my face
Only tell me that you really care
Love bites and cigarette burns
I get what I know I deserve
Pick me off the ground again
Hold my face and tell you, baby, I’m bleeding
And I don’t wanna go
I know your back's against the wall
I slammed the door and told you, baby, I’m leaving
But I don’t wanna die
The cuts that you leave on my skin
Like you, they’ll always be here
Cross-hatched, intertwined
Just like our hands tonight
I tried to do it so nicely
After that we’d be friends, oh, I was pleading
But you won’t listen tonight
When I found out you’ve been around
I saw her here and painted her brains on our ceiling
But won’t you forgive me
Pick me off the ground again
Hold my face and tell you, baby, I’m bleeding
And I don’t wanna go
I know your back's against the wall
I slammed the door and told you, baby, I’m leaving
But I don’t wanna die
Baby, I'm bleeding
