BLACK MOON LILITH

SCOUTS

I'm signing up for the scouts

So I can learn every knot

Until I get to the one

You know I really want

You let go of my hand

So I picked up a bottle

This time I swear for real

I'll never let go

So if you came unprepared

Then what are you good for?

In a dream you woke me

"Hey kid, I was only kidding"

And "why would I ever leave

When we've got everything?"

So if you came unprepared

Then what are you good for?

It's too late to go home

Everyone's pissed

It's too late

"Hey kid..." And you kissed my cheek

"...Just make sure you fuck up whatever you can on the way out"

But your mother still thinks I know something that I don't

DIAMONDS

Chelsey, how'd you find the time to settle down?

I could've sworn that I just turned around

From the park, where we used to meet,

Lying in the grass, my head in your lap,

And you fixed my broken back

You're lost in a daydream

…a giant pile of leaves

"Point out all the planes to me"

Falling asleep on a trampoline

With a sweater and a diamond ring

And your first cup of coffee

Drawing hearts in the morning

Where the window's fogging

There's diamonds on your fingers now

Your hair is all grown out

I must've blinked when I was sixteen

And missed everything

With soft white lights

Hanging over our heads

As our record spins

Give me a goodbye kiss

I must've blinked when I was sixteen

GET OUT

This place is small

I cannot see at all

Dizzy from heat

Tension consuming me

I need a name

Catch me the southbound train

I need a change

Tell me it will ease the pain

Fuel me

It's time that I get up and get moving

Fuel me

It’s time I that get out,

It’s time I move around

I’ve gained some speed

Big thanks to breaking routine

I am on the move

How long until I lose?

I need a name

Wake up; feel home again

I need a change

Move through all the years of pain

Catch me

Tell me

Wake up

Move through

Fuel me

It's time that I get up and get moving

Fuel me

It’s time I that get out,

It’s time I move around

KARMA

Karma, come and get me

You know now I'm ready

Karma, come and take me home

Before I head out on my own

Dear everyone I've given up,

I still speak but I am never saying much

Karma, what are you waiting for?

It's time that you settle the score

Karma, come and make your claim

You know I'll come when you call my name

Dear everyone, I've given up

Tucked my tail between my legs

I've nothing left to give

An old dog with old tricks

Every night I bark how I'm putting myself down,

But wait for my day to come around.

Catch me howling at the moon,

Acting like it's something new

THE MAGICIAN

There's not too many more tricks up my sleeves

But I'm still working on my disappearing act

Like you care

I'm only smoke

I'm only mirrors

I'm only happy when I disappear

It's just a sleight of hand

A coin behind your ear

I'm only happy when I disappear

WPIC

If I were yinz I'd lay there and stare at the wall

I'd analyze the lines and find all the faces that call

I'd stare at my hands all day, broken lines fading away

And in my dreams, those lines will route my escape

If I were you I'd lay my body in a corner

I'd ask these concrete walls to hold me tight

I’d fear moving my feet and even moving my eyes

The sensation would remind me that I am alive

If I were you I'd bury my coins in the ground

I'd pray to the gods that all my pieces be found

I'd spit the charms all day until my tongue turned to clay

Oh the droning is such a soothing sound

If I were you I'd rip the hair from my head

You know nothing of the stars, you scream that magic is dead

I'll tell you one more time, you've got to open your mind

Relax, my soul is on the mend

I can feel their hands holding me down and if I move my eyes, even my mouth

Threatening the ones holding me down, they’ll press my face to the ground

And I can feel their hands holding me down pressing my face to the ground

Every line on the floor has never led me to the door

Which line led me to the place where hope is found?

THE MAYOR OF MT JOY

There's something out there

We're not alone in here.

I tried to tune it out

It came in crystal clear

“Invite the devil in”

“Give up your idle hands”

I'm just a victim here

A slave to the circumstance

Keep your head down

There's terrible creatures around

Some of them have my eyes

You should stay inside

Oh my lord

It's clearly the end of the world

Why are we not drunk

In your lipstick and heels

I'm ready now

Blessed with my new sight

Into a world of black and white

I think I miss the old days

I think we miss when we were blind

Blessed with a broken jaw

No need to give my piece

Even a fool is wise

If you don't hear them speak

Keep your head down

There's terrible creatures around

Some of them have my eyes

You should stay inside

Oh my lord

It's clearly the end of the world

Why are we not drunk In your best lingerie?

I'm ready now

I didn't crawl back out of hell just to deal with this

Everything looks the same and I'm tired of it

We never really felt like ourselves when we're in this skin

We're really just waiting around until it ends

Keep your head down and fuck off

MOTHER OF MT HOPE

… and I'll find you in the next life

When I come back with fangs

And this will make sense

Come and find me in the next life

When you come back with wings

And this will make sense

Where'd we go wrong? Where do we go?

Drunk again with the worst ideas

We'll be cleaning up the mess for years

I don't I have the time to make things right,

But I swear to you now,

I'll find you in the next life.

Were you pregnant with the worst ideas?

We'll be cleaning up the mess for years

If you abandoned them then why can't I?

But you swear this will all make sense in the next life

This could be the last we ever speak

Tell me I'm wrong

This could be the last we ever speak

Where'd I go wrong?

I'll find you in the next life

When I come back with fangs

And this will all make sense

You found a light that I could never see

Where'd I go wrong?

I can feel it sharpening my teeth

Where'd I go wrong?

Drunk again with the worst ideas

I didn't really know what else to do

I lost my breath in the midst of my amends

Before I ever even made it to you

PRESSER

Hold me down, hold me down

Add a stone, and press me down

I’d rather drown, I’d rather drown

Tie me up, take my crown

Turn my face to the crowd

I’d rather drown, I’d rather drown

Burn me down, burn me down

Burn my whore house to the ground

Take my ashes to the sea, so my spirit may be free

Because the sea and me know how to breathe in harmony

You cannot take me down, I’ll never drown

Cut me up, spread me out

These dirty dogs have found me out

No you’re not safe in your dreams

I haunt incessantly

My favorite game is hide and seek

And you will meet me in your sleep

Snakes crowd around your feet

No one will hear your screams

My spirit wakes, my spirit wakes

And in the night you’ll scratch and shake

And I will meet you when you rise

I’m the twitch behind your eyes

The sea and me know how to breathe in harmony

You cannot take me down, I’ll never drown

FLOWER MOON

Sunflowers up to your second floor window

There's so much life outside for you to ignore

It's time to pack, and I'll move away

Stare at my television in a place

Stargazers, covered in baby's breath,

Wilting away in your kitchen

You moved to the mountains, where it's hard to breathe

That high altitude won't get you closer to your god

I stood under your Flower Moon

And waited for it to fall on me

If only I could make my way to you

But you're hung too far to reach

I am the poster child for "naive"

What were you saying?

Lunatics

Blue

I’d like to take a swim with you in the silver and the blue

If you could find me the one

Bring to me the final piece so I can finally fall asleep

It’s time to come undone

I can barely breathe you see, hysteria is taking me

I’m sinking underground

Without a place to call my own

Tell me how I’ll ever know when I’ve been found

There’s so much noise

I need to take a day or two, cleanse my soul

Collapse into the water of the loch

The siren calling out my name

The sea witch who will guide the way

Will be the first to knock

I feel your hands around my throat

You refuse to let me go, a tale as old as time

As water fills my lungs I feel

The weight is lifted, I am healed

The secret’s mine, and oh she shines

There’s so much noise

WPIC

If I were you I’d lay there and stare at the wall

I’d analyze the lines and find all the faces that call

I’d stare at my hands all day, broken lines fading away

And in my dreams, those lines would route my escape

If I were you I’d place my body in a corner

I’d ask these concrete walls to hold me tight

I’d fear moving my feet, and even moving my eyes

The sensation would remind me that I was alive

William, look at you, you are living proof, you’re creating the truth

Each day you get out of bed and you leave your room, after all that’s happened to you

Each day you stand on your feet and you smile at me, after all you’ve been through

Hope is you, hope is you

If I were I’d bury my coins in the ground

I’d pray to the gods that all my pieces be found

I’d spit my charms all day until my tongue turned to clay

Oh the droning is such a soothing sound

If I were you I’d rip the hair from my head

You know nothing of the stars, you scream that magic is dead

I’ll tell you one more time, you’ve got to open your mind

Relax, my soul is on the mend

And I can feel their hands holding me down

And if I move my eyes, even my mouth

Threatening the ones holding me down, they’ll press my face to the ground

Which lines led you to the place where hope is found?

And I can feel their hands holding me down

Pressing my face to the ground

Every line on the floor has never led me to the door

Which lines led you to the place where hope is found?

alone

where’d we go wrong

drunk again with the worst ideas

i didn’t really know what else to do

lose my breath in the midst of amends

before i could ever make to you

FLOWER MOON

NEW GUNS

You know how to dig when you’re searching for gold

You know how to pray when you’ve lost all hope

You know how to move when we’re moving too slow

There’s no telling how it’s gonna go

Because I can’t tell when you’re up or you’re down

When you’re feeling alright, if I’m staying the night

There’s no telling when you’re feeling low

Darlin how should I know?

Do you feel it? I know, I feel it too

The uncomfortable rise of the new you

The new me, oh this is what I see

Oh this is what I need to, need to be

It’s the end of the year, and I don’t carry that gun no more

You know how to pry when the door is closed

You know how to lie like the color of the clouds in the sky

Just enough to get your way

Just enough for me to stay

Because I can’t tell when you’re up or you’re down

When you’re feeling alright, if I’m staying the night

There’s no telling when you’re feeling low

Darlin how should I know?

Do you feel it? I know, I feel it too

The uncomfortable rise of the new you

The new me, oh this is what I see

Oh this is what I need to, need to be

It’s the end of the year, and I don’t carry that gun no more

2.LADY LOOSE

Oh lady so loose

I know you hate that word

But every time you hear it

Oh I see your head turn

Put on your mask

So no one knows your face

But don’t go wondering

Why no one knows your name

Oh lady so dark

Oh lady so thin

Oh lady so skeletal

I’m not letting you in, I’m not letting you in

Oh you can spin that room all you want, I’m not letting you in

Oh lady so small

Go ‘head and bat them eyes

But know dancing alone in the corner ain’t no disguise

I’ve drawn out the line

Black powder so, thin

Oh you can say I love you all you want, I’m not letting you in

Oh lady so dark

Oh lady so thin

Oh lady so skeletal

I’m not letting you in, I’m not letting you in

Oh you can twist your tongue all you want, I’m not letting you in

You’ve got no disguise

And I’ve got your prize

I’m not lettin you in

Ain’t this a sad song, ain’t it?

Ain’t this a sad song, oh lady so loose

3.REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS

Magnets:

her teeth was stained but
her heart was pure darling
oh she's lookin' better after
every beer I haven't gone

if the phone don't ring
you'll know it's me oh no
she's acting single and I'm
drinking doubles ? if love
were oil I'd be a quart low
I liked you better before

? when I say I love you
when you know I've been
a liar all my life I changed

4.SALT

They used to say I was a traveler

Giving myself to my friends

They used to say I was a sinner

Lies from beginning to end, Oh

Promise you’ll forgive me tomorrow

Because I just can’t bear the end

I’ll buy you a drink, just let me borrow

Your body tonight, let’s pretend, Oh

Let’s pretend, lover of mine

Hold my hand, don’t leave me behind

Darlin keep up, each step in time

Or else I will leave you behind

My god what a mess, can we agree to forget?

I swear you’re not a bother, you’re never a bother

My god what a mess, can we agree to forget?

I swear you’re not a bother, ‘til I decide

Oh please, believe, I need you to see

I swear you’re not a bother, ‘til I decide

Let’s pretend, lover of mine

Hold my hand, don’t leave me behind

Heal my wounds, tell me I’m fine

Or else I will leave you behind

Salt all the graves of all the men who caved

Slowly setting up what we knew was an end

Salt all the graves of all of the men who caved

Slowly setting up what we knew was an end

Slowly covering up all my old friends

Let’s pretend, lover of mine

Let us stand tall and face our demise

Dear if we’re lucky, we’ll be surprised

Let’s pray for a little rain, oh

Oh pretend, lover of mine

Let us stand tall and face our demise

And dear if we’re lucky, we’ll be surprised

And it’ll rain, it will rain and wash it away

Let’s wash it away

5.FLOWER MOON

Sunflowers up to your second floor window
There’s so much life outside for you to ignore
It’s time to pack and move away
It's time to stare at my television in a new place

Stargazers, covered in baby's breath,
Wilting away in your kitchen
You moved to the mountains, where it’s hard to breathe
That high altitude won’t get you closer to your god

I stood under your Flower Moon and waited for it to fall on me.

It gets strange finding yourself so lost
Even stranger with three sixes on your cross

I’m the poster child for naive
The patron saint of all you hate

6.DREAMER

Dreamer, walk away from here

From all the ones you hold so dear

Towards your five year fucking plan

Towards mistakes you have to have

Take the arrow, point it straight

At this one you love to hate

But take a lesson from me, love

I never was the one

Apple of your eye, aim a little more to the right

Apple of my eye, aim a little more to the right

I’m afraid of standing still

Feel the loss in your lungs,

as your fingers tug, tug

Feel the pressure in your mind,

as your heartbeat drives, drives

Do you ever lie on the road

Wondering if it’s your time to go

Momma said don’t play with guns

Sometimes we just need some fun

Apple of your eye, aim a little more to the right

Apple of my eye, aim a little more to the right

I’m afraid of standing still

Honey pie, here’s a law

You can’t have everything you want

Sweet heart, now’s the time

We’ve already drawn the line

Pull back hard, let go mean

I’ll pray the arrow misses me

Open up your eyes, steady breathe

Darlin, the fun hasn’t started yet

7.AH!PATHETIC

What’s the opposite of amorous?
I need an antonym for amorous
What’s another word for not giving a shit?

I can’t believe all of those love songs, how could I ever feel that way?
Just high on chemicals that came from in and outside of my brain
I thought you were kidding when you said “things are changing for the best”
‘cause it’s hard to feel so blessed when looking through your own shit lens
Down the road to god knows where you said at least a hundred times
“You are loved. You are winning. You are mine”
You lied

My neighbor is drunk out in the street, cutting up women in his dreams
I feel bad and then ignore it. I let my diseases speak for me. Just like him
(we’re all like him)
We may not all find our means, but we will surely find our ends
It’s hard to feel so cleansed when looking through your own shit lens
Across the bridge to god knows where it reads at least a hundred times
“it’s fine. it’s fine. it’s fine. it’s fine….”
That bridge lied

We don’t move the way we used to.

8.PRESSER

Hold me down, hold me down

Add a stone, and press me down

I’d rather drown, I’d rather drown

Tie me up, take my crown

Turn my face to the crowd

I’d rather drown, I’d rather drown

Burn me down, burn me down

Burn my whore house to the ground

Take my ashes to the sea, so my spirit may be free

Because the sea and me know how to breathe in harmony

You cannot take me down, I’ll never drown

Cut me up, spread me out

These dirty dogs have found me out

No you’re not safe in your dreams

I haunt incessantly

My favorite game is hide and seek

And you will meet me in your sleep

Snakes crowd around your feet

No one will hear your screams

My spirit wakes, my spirit wakes

And in the night you’ll scratch and shake

And I will meet you when you rise

I’m the twitch behind your eyes

Because the sea and me know how to breathe in harmony, in harmony

You cannot take me down, I’ll never drown

9.ROCK N ROLL

Oh, we’ve been on these tires too long
burning them up ’til they’re gone
and we’re riding on only our wheels

The road that we’re on seems endless
You wish it were level and well lit
But everything just keeps looking worse

No, I can’t speak for you
But I’m tired of running on fumes
We all break down eventually

You’re walking on broken legs
with crutches made from bottles and kegs
so you don’t leave your bed much these days

There’s a memory stuck in your head
That you’re trying your best to forget
saying to yourself “it’ll never be that good again”

And the song that was on it was perfect
but never again have you heard it
you still catch yourself humming along in your head

So when they’re finally calling you home
and it’s the first time you don’t want to go
because there’s still so much you don’t know..

just rock n roll
