"how loud"

please don't say I'm wasted on you
I steal and I stave till I reach your door
all these days I've shied to face you
all these days I ain't sleep at all

if you tell me to bark
I will just ask how loud
oh, I'd be an easy mark
if it proved to make you proud

the nights were grey until I met you
if you hadn't stayed it would've been a bore
all these faces stare at me blankly
all these faces don't compare to yours

if you tell me to bark
I will just ask how loud
oh, I'd be an easy mark
if it proved to make you proud

bare your teeth at me, baby, I still do like that
I'll clean up nice as always, it's decent etiquette
to be arm candy for someone so pretty
it's made me smirk for a damn long time, babe

if you tell me to bark
I will just ask how loud
oh, I'd be an easy mark
if it proved to make you proud

if you tell me to bark
I will just ask how loud
oh, I'd be an easy mark
if it proved to make you proud

How Loud

you've tried it all to accost me, dear
hoping that it costs me dear
poetic lines like gentle rain
are landmines cruelly laid
around my old neighbourhood
to keep me from forgetting you
to keep me from betterment
can't attempt to be a better man

you're a stain I'm vying to erase
I've shed my skin and all that's in it
please just stay miles away
don't come close, I can't take it no more

I can't stand you
can't stand myself under your spell

I remember how I got on my knees
begged for you to let me breathe
and you grinned and shook your head
"I find it hot, your wretchedness"
your calls and cries are strategy
to break me down as I try to heal
but the fact remains we are through
and nothing brings me back to you

you're a stain I'm vying to erase
I've shed my skin and all that's in it
grew out my hair, torched my face
so you don't find me and ruin my life again

can't understand you
why must you hurt me when I'm well?

you're nothing, you're nothing
you're nothing, you're nothing

the pretty words you wrote for me once
are for another man to hold and love
and I wish him all the best, I do
hope he makes it out alive, few do
all the pretty words you wrote for me once
are for another man to hold and love
and I wish him all the best, I do
hope he makes it out alive, few do

Calls & Cries - Single

Calls & Cries

lyrics:

come for me
oh, crashing down
concrete heat
no exit door
scarlet cheeks
she's a hound
hunting for a hot meal
to score
she has me down
has me down
I'm just glad
to be found

I want venus in lionskin
I'll pay double of asking
if she meets all my needs
and kills me with high heels

the sanest maniac in
your local asylum
begging for medicine
it's you smotherin' him

she's got me thinking crazy
got me waiting on her maybes
and I can't ever even protest it
too big a risk for my emotional state
she's got me tied up nicely
every attempt to break free will hurt me
and I can't even ask her to be kind
I know it'll end badly but I love the ride

could never make it in
the weakest assassin
fell in love with the mark
but then a start is a start

you want a man to mould
I want a hand to hold
maybe we strike a deal
baby, kill me with high heels

she's got me thinking crazy
got me waiting on her maybes
and I can't ever even protest it
too big a risk for my emotional state
she's got me tied up nicely
every attempt to break free will hurt me
and I can't even ask her to be kind
I know it'll end badly but I love the ride

she's got her hot metal
pressed up against my temple
the sweetest way to sweat me
ensure she won't forget me
she's got her hot metal
pressed up against my temple
the sweetest way to sweat me
ensure she won't forget me
