Modern Swinger- Pink Spiders

Shes out of luck and out of hope and out of cigarettes
misunderstood with naked pictures on the internet
her social deviance is teasing me I know what I want

and Im really gonna really let her know (woah)
that I like her but I just dont care enough
to fool around with love

yeah my babys pretty as a car crash
sexy as the stinger of a hornet in your arm
just another modern swinger
screaming catch me if you can with a cigarette in hand
and it’s love
its heavy and it hurts and its love

strung out on blow she doesnt know why shes not feeling good
dropped out of school and now shes moving out to Hollywood
her reckless decadence is taking things a little too far

and Im really gonna really let her know (woah)
that I like her but I just dont care enough
to fool around with love

yeah my babys pretty as a car crash subtle as a splinter
yeah my babys smooth as sandpaper warm just like the winter
screaming catch me if you can with a cigarette in hand
and its love
its heavy and it hurts and its love

staring at my shoes thinking of something to say
but nothings better than what silence is saying
when every time I turn around shes always looking away
its just the nature of the game that we're playing

And I think I’m tapping out,
I think I’m gonna skip the title bout

Demons Away- Matt Skiba

I know you're alone
In the dark, all alone
Underneath the covers
Hiding from the demons
That came for your soul.

They might be over in the closet
They might be underneath your bed
They might be just outside your window, baby
Or maybe just inside your head.

But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.

I know that you're scared
You're in the dark, so scared
Simply terrified, no one'll hear you screaming
If they could would they care?

There's only one way to find out
I pray that day never comes
For that would mean the ending of you, baby
The end of you, my love.

But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.

And baby, I can tell you've been crying
Oh baby, I know you've been lying to me
Yes indeed.
Oh baby, I can tell you don't sleep no more
Oh baby, believe me I've been there before.

If you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.

Dear Jamie...Sincerly, me- HelloGoodbye

Dear Jamie, I've got a letter I would like to send.
It's lacking strings of words with punctuation at the ends.

But should I trust this dialect,
To convey the right effect?

Dear Jamie, I've got some things I'd like to set in pen.
I would have used a pencil but leads just not permanent.

But should I trust my printer's ink,
To express the things I think?

Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest;
With inside jokes and other folks who've got much more to say.

Dear Jamie, this envelope will represent my heart.
I'll seal it send it off and wish it luck with its depart.

And this stamp will be every action that carried my affection:
Across the air and land and sea.

But should I trust the postage due,
To deliver my heart to you?

Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest;
With inside jokes and other folks who've got much more to say.

Every page I tried my best to fill with something to contest;
With inside jokes and other folks who've got much more to say.

I'll give you all I can,
A flower and a hand.
I hope this helps you see.
Signed, sincerely me.
