In lipstick on the mirror, are the lyrics to my obituary
In iambic pentameter, followed parameter, crossing my eyes, dot my T's.
I was delivered holding scissors, I live deliberately, I’m a quitter.
And a winner anyway, cause I never agreed to participate in this game.
Won't follow my dreams cause they all got me waking up screaming
I can’t let them go for me, after all there is no “I” in team.

And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
To pretend to be normal to be normal
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya.
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be.
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally

If I could live in third person, well I don’t think life would be much worse than it is
In the current tense, presently, this sentence ending in question marks or dot dot dot…
Is it courageous or escapist to leave the quarantine when you’re contagious?
It may just be a cold, and besides I don’t wanna get old yeah
I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party
When the afterparty came, I was rolling in my grave.

And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
To pretend to be normal to be normal
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya.
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be.
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally

[Spoken]
Now this is the part of the song where I talk to my audience. I like to tell 'em there's something I want from you hep cats tonight. I want you to look to your left, look to your right, your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock, nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight. And I want you to find those points of no return, those singularities, those event horizons, those burning rings of fire in the beautiful pupils and the beautiful eyes of the beautiful boy, girl, neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight. And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel.

I want you to tell 'em that you love the way that they don't stick out like sore middle fingers. That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve, stick their flag in the peak, and slide their way back down. I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive, not malcontent, not malignant or maleficent, but rather that you love them exactly the way that everybody else is

I was nothing before so I couldn’t have asked to be born
I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then?
Is there nothing to fear? Cause shit's getting weird
So to God who made this man, you better have one hell of a plan.

And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need. No.
To pretend to be normal to be normal
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya.
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be.
C’mon, c’mon, yeah, I said c’mon, yeah.
C’mon, c’mon, yeah, I said c’mon, yeah.
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally

You've got a new dress, you're a quick change actress
Your lipstick slides out of it's sheath
You're my neon-veined day-glow dame, how do you speak
With your tongue pressed so tight to your teeth?

You've got a lot of dead friends on this rock where we're floating
And there's darkness ahead, but I think it's worth noting
We're candles, we're matches, we're lights on a wire
So come with me, please, be my Sylph set on fire

In all honesty, I expected to be 
So exceptionally unimpressed
I do not trust kindness, in kindnesses lies are hid
And oft topped with makeup and winningly dressed

But you've got a mind, and if you don't mind me saying
It resides in a beauty not slightly betraying
You luminesce, I confess, I guess you're no liar
So come with me, please, be my Slyph set on fire

LYRICS

Do you remember being nobodies, discovering nothing was not that bad
when shared as a pair, both lost and long suffering, hiding in a frightening land

And do you remember feeling that anger, yet so much love and “for what?” you wondered
and now there’s no wondering, the wrong nervous muttering, no magic left at all

but I remember leaning against a backwards bent wing 
and awaking to feel that your touch didn't sting
when everything was wrong, I made so many mistakes 
and you helped me make them, but with presence and patience 

all those wrong, awful, wild, amazingly childish decisions

I take a breath, and I know I've got to turn the final page
but is our story really done yet? I guess I'm still afraid

But do you remember, just being honest, little bright moments of peace in the trees
now it takes so much work to be with you, I'd say that I miss you, but for that you'd have to leave

but I remember once forever seemed too short a time
though not long enough for me to make up my mind
I would’ve thought eternity would eventually make me wise
Enough to choose a side, not just linger undecided
Why do I feel changed when we both have stayed the same
it feels like something's different, some ache too big to name 
When everything is endless and you're nineteen yet again
and you're never flawed enough but you keep on pretending

wanting that desperate, “forget me not/do you love me yet?” ending

but there's no ending. There's nobody. Just two nobodies.

LYRICS

I'll leave you my bottles, babe
Ill wrap them in wool and lay 
them down in your crib
I'll miss what might have been

I'll leave you my swords and shades
I'll put all my good into one place
and ironys aftertaste
will rock to you sleep, my babe

When you watch what we made for you
when you see what we gave for you
when you read between the lines you’ll find
We waited our lives for you

But in seconds my time will end
I count every breath my friend
and when space invades again
we'll light the way, my baby

so when the light catches blade
when the time comes, do not be afraid 
follow the path we've made
follow the path we've made

Boy, you get my guts tied up in such a twisted noisy ruckus
Heaven sent that you are, wouldn't lift a claw or cut me off 'cause
Rambling as I ever am I shamble to your chair and stables
Watch you all enraptured as you shuffle cards and stutter fables

Break my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my habit to get you back and I'm
Like a fool without a calling, like a heartsick fool

Boy, you like to play the martyr, but if I pray a little harder
If I close the window and come back here when I'm not so sober
If I said it plainly not in riddle-rhymes, all cagey, 
Would you answer with a smile made of brackets or look at me strangely?

Break my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you were my habit, I'd trade my habit to get you back and 
It's you and I again just writing, shiftless, click clack clicking, grinning 
Like a fool without a calling, like a heartsick fool

Boy, you're on the floor and on my fingers, dripping from my kisses
Eyes so vacant, would you hate it, if I said you look delicious?
The laughter dies and rots inside me, brother, it is you all over
Stay beside me here and guide me, unrequited would-be lover

Took my miracle, you're my miracle, I'd trade my brains for one of you
Two gods for two voices, I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Need a miracle, you're my miracle, I'd trade a miracle to get you back and I'm
Left without a friend, soaked to the bone and backwards bent 
I'm seeing shades, screaming repent your sickness leave it here for lent 
Now witness, here, a fool without a calling! I'm a heartsick fool.
Still the fool without a calling, still a fucking fool.
