current affair

You visited me in my dreams last night babe
You stole all of my cigarettes
You ain't smoke 'em you just stood there and you watched me as you
Tossed 'em out over my head
Don't just stand there giving me those sad eyes
Now, puppy boy it's just not fair
Don't you dare put your hands on me like that
And I won't tangle mine in your hair
This is dangerous
We both know just want we want
Isn't what we need
Bad things would happen but we knew that from the start
Would it be so detrimental to our mental health if we fell apart?
But in the end, I know it's just to fill a void
We’ll still be empty by the time we’re full
You’ll be thinking only of her the whole time
And I don't know where my mind will go
Baby baby baby baby darlin' oh why
Can't we just exist a while
Enjoy our time and all our bodies and our minds
Not be carried carried carried by
By the current affair
By the current affair
The current affair
Hmmmm
By the current, current affair

the jester

Oh, the jester he will laugh
As i lay my soul to rest
So my laughter will remain
Everlasting in this bliss
He holds my heart
Like tiny petals in his palm
He could crush it if he wished it
Yet i trust him nonetheless
Oh, I know
It’s a dangerous game i play with my soul
I know
It’s a dangerous game
My self-preservation is tepid at best
Oh, the angel will observe
My exquisite corpse from up above
He paints me gold and silver
Far much more than i deserve
My body’s scarred my mind is weathered
Yet he adores it all
I am afraid
I am afraid
I’ll make that angel fall
He knows
It’s a dangerous game he plays with his soul
He knows
It’s a dangerous game but
My morality is shaky at best

I have no words
You stole them from me when you stole my heart
Give ‘em back
Give ‘em back you
Monster
I dont wanna love you
I dont want to need you
Hmm
And yet i know this is not how love functions
I am capable of grasping the hand of another
And feeling warm flesh against my own
I am capable of feeling butterflies take over my stomach
As if the larvae had hatched there
Of some natural means
Yet my mind seems to gain great pleasure from warping my perceptions of love to the point of romantic repulsion
Which, of course, many would argue is ruinous
How dare i sully the name of love?
How dare love have sullied me so?
I despise its actions towards me as mine towards it
We fight like lovers
Yet my heart cannot be quenched
By such an abstract concept
