E Am (x3)
I don’t think you’re ready for the melt (x2)
F# A Am
I don’t think they’re ready
No I don’t think I’m ready for the melt
I still see my feet in the winter time
I still see my breath in others’ eyes
I can feel the heat of beating hearts
They all tell me they’re too scared of start
Every night is calling like the day
My friends are up, the sun still stays the same

I can’t tell if I have a choice
Stand me up, fill me to the brim
Let’s see how far we can take this
I keep pulling at the fringe
When you hold me I’m an anxious mess
I know I’ll get out but I’m not yet

I wanna make goodness
I wanna make sweetness
I wanna make you moan
Scream my seventeen name
I wanna beg for you
I want to burn
Heat me over the coals of your body
Moan my seventeen names
Make me your goddess
And I’ll treat you well
Bow down before me
Hallowed is thy name
You’ll see what’s goodness
You’ll see the flames
Make me your goddess
And I’ll treat you right
I wanna make love again
Steal it from the ashes
Scream my seventeen names
Scream my seventeen names

The Car Alarm’s goin off in your window
Screamin bout the end the world
And It’s goin off at the foot of your bed
And it’s goin on into the morning
California’s nice in the winter
Just like in the movies
The hills tell me they miss seein country
I wish they’d talk about me
And Galvanize me
With powder and lipstick
You don’t need to lock the doors any more
Get your heels on the floor
I’m not queer because of a haircut
That’s for you not me
My names means nothin to me
Don’t make me love you and leave
It’s the end the world
Now that we’re walking free
I won’t see you in heaven
I’m seeing you now
I scratched my name into the margins
You’re reading bodies all wrong
I scratched all my names out of the margins
You’re reading bodies all wrong

Do I need space or company
The stars look comforting tonight
But distance seems so frightful
Limelight's like the lover's story
The heat of your touch still burns me
Salt in the wound seems to confuse me
Leave my breathless as I
Untangle my rhythms slowly

Take a jump in the water
Stay cool you've been running all night
Take a dip in the water
Cool off you're a seething mess
You could use a rest
You could use a rest

Stars in your eyes fade to flurries and spies all too soon
Passion's put out like a stray on the streets you're too young.
Come on little wanderer, you've got time to rest.
Seek out your mirrors and clearer than ever you'll try.
But it's what we have to work with
it's what we have to work with
it's what we have to work with
Cities will cry from the thought of the moon while you're miles high
Towers reach out to gain power gain gain passion gain love
But it's what we have to work with
it's what we have to work with
it's what we have to work with
You don't see anyone trying as hard as you did
When you gave yourself love and you
Picked yourself up and you told yourself
I'm not alone but these scars are my own cross to bear.
Hold yourself high it's okay to be shy when you're lonely
It's okay to be shy when you're lonely.
But it's what we have to work with
it's what we have to work with
it's what we have to work with

Three years of silence
The stitches have stiffened
I thought that I had a chance
I carelessly whispered to you through the vines
Sorry to say that I couldn't be with you
It's a relief you're alive
Though really who's living if you're just a lie
Chorus:
You showed me you were gone
You settled down the road
You didnt say goodbye
You didn't say goodbye
I waited for you
To tell me you're fine
Didn't think I'd have to do it myself
But now that you're here again
And my heart's lost its hue
You can move on while I'm pushing through
I hear
That your silence is blue
Blue as the nights you saw me through
What about the morning makes you hide
Is it me or are you are you a song?

Good morning
It's nice to see you there
I see the sun can't help but start your day
And as it warms
The door's wide open
Good morning
It's nice to see you there
All tangled in the sheets
How can you even breathe?
And as it warms
The door's wide open
Let me help you up
Let me help you up
You're not just gonna lie there, quit you're whining
It's time to get up
And as it warms
The door's wide open
I know that we'll stumble and fall
Who knows if I'll catch you
If I'll catch you
If I'll
Fall
Good morning
It's nice to see you there
I see the moon can't help but tuck you in

Oh, you don’t say much
Would it hurt
To try a little harder
Not that I’m any better
Oh, it hurts me when you cry
Your voice is like a child’s
Aren’t you
afraid
Oh, you’re saving your own breath
For your rainy days
Are here
Again
Not that I’m any better

Cars go down the road 120 an hour please forgive me he's dead I've killed him.
I thought he would be saved but he is no longer mine, his light fell like night along the highway, stretch marks like country roads
Every beat left his body as rubber wore down to a screeching halt, far too fast to stop but not slow enough to make it easy on him
But I heard him say my name, my final breath was in his lungs as he careened into the desert brush I saw his taillights fade
I turned down the wheel for the proceeding months as processions of the moon went further into highlights of better times.
on the way home I thought i saw god in a puddle in Los Angeles, it breathed back at me.
Every morning I awoke to a stereo blaring white noise because that was music to him, it reminded him of the waters he once swam.
I left him behind, with my murder, cinder block still on the accelerator. He breathed so, so deep.
