Save the Coffee Boy

The 456 say the fight begins,
they lock the doors
nothing can get in and nothing can get out
and the air is poisoned.
You point your gun at the foggy glass
and I’m standing next to you so full of wrath
that I don’t notice
even now you’re dying.
I’m used to my own immortality,
but you’re vulnerable,
we gotta get you out of here
there’s gotta be something that I can do, Ianto.
Chorus:
Please, stay with me please,
oh no, don’t you leave me,
please don’t go
don’t you leave me here all alone.
and there’s nothing we can do.
There’s gotta be an antidote,
and I take it all back,
you can have all the children of earth
just don’t take this man away from me.
Everybody in the building is screaming,
lights are flashing, your eyes are gleaming.
I hold you in my arms,
but your breath is fading and it is all my fault, Ianto.
Chorus
You whisper ‘I love you’
just don’t speak, save your breath,
and keep in mind all the good times
that we had.
How dare you think I could ever forget you,
a thousand years time,
I will still remember you, I promise you,
I will, I will, I will
And the memories of times we played hide and seek
with that stopwatch of yours I will always keep with me.
The adventures we went through, the bliss and the pain,
the good and the bad times and whatever will remain.
The lashings of coffee you would make for me,
in the middle of the night when I couldn't think of sleep.
You were there by my side, Ianto.
I kiss you one more time before I pass out
and I wake up between corpses and red blankets.
And I’m hoping against any hope.
Gwen is crying over your dead body,
but there is no time to rest,
because we’re still in war with the 456.
Oh, Ianto.
Chorus

you arsonist
set fire to my heart
and left me burning in the dirt
with nothing left to pray upon
but my broken heart
and a small key
da dee da dee
every secret, every lie
another thing to glue between my thighs
a school girl’s wolfsbane in a cup
a whole year that has screwed us up
that will make me struggle when I trip
da dib da dib
chorus:
love songs are for lonely people
love songs were only made for us
let’s hope tomorrow there will be
a pair of starcrossed lovers less
you lone wolf
had everything a man could want
but you wanted claws and didn’t get fangs
you got scales and a tail
and a letter in the mail
that said: ‘please say ‘i love you’ soon
da doon da doon
I want out and you want in
we’ll meet somewhere in between
kidnap the whole pack for a day
and take your car to drive us far away
and kiss until there’s nothing left to say
chorus
bridge:
every promise that you make
is a butchered Shakespeare quote I should hate
but you say it and you mean it
and sometimes it just those two
who you thought would never fit
because, Jackson, we fit
we do, we do
I do
I do love you
chorus

My Bottle Sings
04:02
|
|||
marble lover of liberty
you're my marble love of low degree
your jaw looks like it's carved from stone
in your shadow I will stand alone
and while my heart'll always stay a mess
when I touch your bones it hurts a little less
chorus:
why why why
my bottle sings
why why why
the gunshots ring
why why why
will you not let me see your wings
like Apollo you're crowned by the sun
you speak of days that are still to come
your tongue is older than you'll ever be
no alcohol has that effect on me
after all my prayers with a mouth full of wine
your stone-cold words still send shivers down my spine
now we finally know what's going on
cause a non-existent god did wrong
with all our fingers dyed with blood
there're still plenty of flags left to hold up
and if schoolboys manage to save this land
we'll still be strangers that like to hold hands
chorus
rising sun all clad in red
I know this rising sun will set
and when you've fallen from the sky
I'll be there to hold you tight
with cold white hands and broken skin
praying that heaven up above will let us in
and while the blood is seeping through your vest
the people say we have been blessed
a god has walked among us for some time
chorus
my my my
we were born to fall
my my my
still you tried to conquer them all
my my my
love isn't worth your blood at all

The Weather
02:47
|

the picture of a perfect town
all radios turned onto white noise
but before fear can climb your mind
'hello night vale' says a voice
you might soon hear you're non-existent
when you're pretty sure you're there
share your fate with all the mountains
and the moon up in the air
chorus:
this is the weather the voice claims
and sure enough, it starts to rain
hip hop rhythm, violin screeches
it's all going down the drain
only afterwards the sun will rise
with a new song in its yellow eyes
so every last man is advised
while the melody is falling, stay inside
now a short word from the sponsors
so quick you won't even hear it come
limbs of all kinds are in fashion now
you should get your kids to sprout some
and city council has proclaimed last night
blue is disproved as a colour
you can still use it as a feeling though
it might make your life a little duller
chorus
today's proverb are the last words
you'll say with your dying breath
so we're very unhappy to say
tonight's show will end with your death
chorus

Brother Sister Twins
05:15

Here I am now
wondering how am I gonna live without him
Here I am
where can I find, where can I find some peace of mind
caring brother, be my compass, be the water
under the bridges that I've burned
caring brother, never falter, price I payed
for the lessons I have yet to learn
and I turned around and you were gone
how am I supposed to carry on
with your blood on my hands
the guilt and the anger I cannot contain
the battles I’m fighting are lost all the same
and now that I lost you the north wind is cold
freezing my heart, freezing my bones
already I miss you
Not a stir now
not a sound inside my heart on dusty ground but still Is think of her as mine
not a stir
how is it that the worst thing about leaving is leaving her behind
wayward sister, ever changing, always grudging,
always telling me you never liked to be a twin
wayward sister, bitter vengeance will not get you anywhere
believe me letting go is not a sin
and the next time you see me you too will be gone
after the battles we've lost the few that we've won
I’ll wash the blood from your hands
I’ll wash from your skin every flaw every stain
I’ll teach them what it means to take your name in vain
and now that I’m gone the south wind is warm
healing your heart, healing your bones
darling don’t miss me
Here I am now
still not sure what to believe in anymore
I used to think
that we could be soldiers with a common enemy
truth is I begrudged you Theta, only waiting
for a chance to outrun you in the field
truth is I’d do anything to take back all the words I said
but I was never first to yield
Not a stir now
anyway there’s nothing I could say to her to make her feel any less betrayed
I used to think the world was at our feet, victory was sweet, luck was with the righteous
truth is I mistook you for the child I used to dress alike
truth is you were always more that that
truth is that wherever death will take me a south wind will wake me
I won’t look back
