You'd wrap your lips around my neck.
Try and force to love the thought of me.
Simple motions make me ill.
Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
On an undercover mattress?
Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.
Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.
He's so much better.
They're all much better.
Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt, and get to work.
Maybe this is just a work of art.
Scripted players in a play of lust.
Hope the end is well worth waiting for
Everything you wished there'd be
Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
On an undercover mattress?
Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.
Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.
He's so much better.
They're all much better.
Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt, and get to work.
Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Cause you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.
My darling, if I ever said those words to you,
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
On display for you to see, I'm on display.
Because you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.
My darling, I would never say those words to you.
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
On display for you to see, I'm on display.
Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

<33333333333 The Dear Hunter. They are so utterly fantastic.
Now. I'm gonna post a song, and it's odd that I love this song as much as I do since it's this band's most overtly Christian song and I consider myself atheist. But when you hear it, it's just unbelievable. To quote the guy I sold their album to at my store yesterday based solely on this song, "That song just kicked my ass."
Anberlin - Miserabile Visu (Ex Malo Bonum)
A red priest broke into our classroom
Caught us children by attention
Listen closely to the words I speak
Lord knows if we'll ever, ever again meet
A man is coming in thirteen one
To charm the daughters and the sons
Miracles like you've never seen
From the man who was raised up in the sea
Spoke such words never spoken before
On the way he declared the war
Scared for our lives I turned to your hands
Hold this tight while we run if we still can
What disasters may come
Whatever it may be
At the end of the age
It will land you and me
What tragedy may bring
Whatever may fall
At the end of the world
You still belong
Before the red priest took his last breath
He told me child now don't forget
The sun will turn dark very soon
Your days are numbered when there's blood on the moon
The earth will shake and the sky will fall
The eyes will open of those enthralled
But by then it will be too late
One third the water you'll find sedate
Don't take the sign but you'll be killed
By the man from seven hills
Scared for our lives I turned to your hands
Hold this tight while we run
If we still can
What disasters may come
Whatever it may be
At the end of the age
It will land you and me
What tragedy may bring
Whatever may fall
At the end of the world
You still belong
Look children to the eastern sky
When you hear the voice say your last goodbye
Look there to the eastern skies
When the ghosts take hold of the men who've died
Look children to the eastern sky
When your fathers weep and your mothers cry
Look children to the eastern sky
And since I can't stop there because this band and their new album is just so good:
Anberlin - Soft Skeletons
Dear little girl, there's so much hurt
For such a young age
Trapped inside a pretty little lie
Your body's betrayed
Don't fix your eyes on a fix you'll rely on
Fixed her eyes on a fix she relies upon
Stand unafraid
All of the good souls
Stand unafraid
When the light starts to burn
And the pain returns
I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight
There's life in your veins
These needles aren't chains
To hold you down
How do you expect to win the war
When you're too afraid to fight?
Dear little one, that was so much pain
Time you can't replace
Trapped inside
Too afraid to cry
Now hands and bruises cover face
Don't fix your eyes on a fix you'll rely on
Fixed his eyes on a fix he'll rely upon
When the light starts to burn
And the pain returns
I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight
There's life in your veins
These needles aren't chains
To hold you down
How do you expect to win the war
When you're too afraid to fight?
