The Pink Noise

Lyrics

I’ll cry in the corner of your garden
And if I want to darlin’ I will
Nobody can tell me which rock I can lay
My thoughts about

[Chorus]
It’s covered in blood, my baby
In which I thought, perhaps maybe
But I know that you can’t save me
You’re too clean to cleanse me

April showers drown me out of my puddle
And if I have to breathe I’ll surely have to wait
The sun can save me sooo many times
That I can’t keep my knees from
Telling lies of an empty slate

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

I can’t see you in the corner
I know you won’t be comin’ ‘round here anymore
I know

News headlines blind me while your
Head is cutting off the channels
Circles under my eyes
Our bodies wrapped in disguises

Smokey living room addictions
Limp legs and speculations
Careful, you’re coming down!!
Hold on tight to the sound

[Chorus]
All our friends are making jokes
Pointing fingers and pouring cokes
And singing songs with our names in the chorus
Songs with our names in the chorus

I can’t stop falling up the stairs
Thank God there’s no one to care
See what’ve you done to me now
I’m losing my way through the house

If only there was something left
A thought that I alone had kept
Liquor is leaking throughout
I’m sorry if I’ve started to shout

[Chorus]
All our friends are making jokes
Pointing fingers and snorting coke
And singing songs with our names in the chorus
Songs with our names in the chorus

In the city I tried to make myself feel big
But when I went outside I just went right back in
Nobody knows how to cope with anyone else
Everybody’s worried about how to save themselves

[Chorus]
Oh Peter, your brown eyes aren’t boring
Oh Peter, I’ll always be your ghost
(4x)

Nothing seems to keep me away from my bitter end
You can try to catch me from falling again and again
Even if I tell you that I’m okay, you know you
Won’t be that far away but
Nothing stops what’s meant to be
Nothing stops me nothing stops me

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

I had a dream that you took my love away
You were dying on the phone like a high school play
He confessed his love to me through symbols and texts
But to me he’s still my pre-pubescent ex

[Chorus]
And dreams don’t tell you, darlin’
That you’re still dreamin’ away
Anything that you’re feelin’ gets erased anyway
And in the morning
You’re hung over with regret
Still shakin’ from the set
Still holdin’ to your breath

I catch myself starting up a sweat
Grippin’ tighter to your skin wishin’ we had never met
You walk right in my mouth with a comfort undenied
Pickin’ up the shrapnel with a sense of pride

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

I had a dream that you took my love away
You were dying on the phone like a high school play
He confessed his love to me through symbols and texts
But to me he’s still my pre-pubescent ex

[Chorus]
And dreams don’t tell you, darlin’
That you’re still dreamin’ away
Anything that you’re feelin’ gets erased anyway
And in the morning
You’re hung over with regret
Still shakin’ from the set
Still holdin’ to your breath

I catch myself starting up a sweat
Grippin’ tighter to your skin wishin’ we had never met
You walk right in my mouth with a comfort undenied
Pickin’ up the shrapnel with a sense of pride

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

She called it an illness
Said it was sad to see me go
Losing sunshine from the on-ramp to a worn out pillow

I like to remember
How a morning felt in the snow
Unobtainable thoughts are fresh air through my window

[Pre-Chorus]
And I kicked all the puddles & mud hit my shoes
I stood there still wet and not knowing what to do
But a rat then went home to something
Better than I had ever known

[Chorus]
Ooh, aah
Ooh, aah

He said I won’t help
You’ve already shot me dead
Too tight for the fixtures but just open enough for lead

And I like to remember
How a morning felt in the snow
Unobtainable thoughts are fresh air through my window

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

Memories die out I’m a paleontologist
I’m digging up bones
This one is hollow, she was eaten &
Swallowed, all alone

She was tough and she chased you
She laughed & embraced you
But the sky would keep her down
We’re all gonna waste here, it’s my biggest fear
When it’s so loud you can’t hear a sound

I don’t want to explode now
I was brought here somehow, by true love
I could tear you apart now
But I need to eat somehow
Before they eat me up above

So don’t forget me
While you’re brushin’ up my better parts
We tried our best there
I had to keep myself from falling apart

I’m a tyrannosaurus something
Won’t you carry me home tonight

I walked to the bottom of the hill trying to figure you out
I shook my head ’til my brain filled up with doubt
All I see is you here with me

Now I need to get my things before I start to unwind
I won’t be able to drive if I’m losing my mind
And all I see is you here with me

I thought that you might have the time we met
But I heard other things again there’s thoughts of regret
I just want you to know that I’ve been classified
And I have things to put me in place
But maybe if I get happy then I’ll be set straight

And all I see is you here with me
All I see is you here with me

Ba ba da da da da

All I see is you here with me
All I see is you here with me

Miracles are left uncharted
As we’re watching the departed
Falling from a push that came to shove
Bitter babies keep the cord but
I’m the one that you adore
You wanna call it anything but love

Watch with both eyes wide

I’ll defend you anytime
Even if you’v crossed the line
All my friends they hate me anyway
Christmas with the candle lit and
All the lips that I have bit you
Now say you should’ve made me stay

Watch with both eyes wide
[Chorus]
I think it’s so messed
I think it’s so messed up
But I can’t deny, I really tried

[Repeat Chorus]

Countdown to the millennium
Our self worth in one lump sum
I would cry with laughter if I could
Leave me by your champagne glass
I never knew you could talk so fast
But you never do what you should

Watch with both eyes wide

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]

[Chorus]
Well If everybody wants to die
Then I’ll see you in your dreams but
I don’t want to live the life only
Of the boy who would scream
Oh, if everybody wants to die
Then I’ll see you in your dreams
But I don’t want to live your life

I’ve been sinking to the bottom
Scraping skin right off the barrel, breaking
Bottles hear your doorstep all alone
It’s a constant cloud of chaos,
No man could ever save us
And we’re the ones we pick up after tears

[Repeat Chorus]

I see the signs of flashing lights
Blinking eyes, tears so bright
Flashing stars in the night

Sister Mary, pure and kind
Reaching out to hands so blind
“Heaven’s kind of cute” as she laughs

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]

Sinking slowly down to the sand
Breathing bubbles in my hand
I can’t feel anything at all

My limbs are like a sticky tac
Pull me right off of your back
I need to learn how to crawl

[Chorus]
We’re sittin’ ‘round to hear those words
That we are nothing like our slurs
That everything is beautiful
(x3)

I fill my pockets up with stones
At least they make me feel less alone
All I want is the sky

Bed and breakfast with some bread
Always seems to clear my head
The pink noise is a lie

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]
