Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, etc.

I would think you a dream
If I was capable of dreaming something
So perfectly sweet
And so exquisitely soul crushing

I would think you to blame
But I welcomed the "curse" you placed on me
So perfectly sanguine
I'm so exquisitely weak

I'm on the other side
Of the picture I saved of you in the
Warm golden light
Of sunset I'll never see

You're the only one who makes me feel this
Like my heart can't wait to be torn in two
I say your name three times in the mirror
But you never come through

The View from the Whole Foods Parking Lot

Fire in the sky
Are you the clouds, the color, or the light?
Song of the ocean tides
Are you the surf, the sand, or the fight?
Violet abyss
Are you the clouds, the color, or the mist?
Deep unspoken wish
Are you the hope, the fear, or the kiss?

Heaven is this moment
Hell is letting it pass

Hot Tub Time Machine

How far would you go
To spend one more day with her ghost
Wearing those thrift store clothes?

How long would you last
Up to your neck in all this past
Rotting in the undergrowth?

How long will you hold
The stitches that healed long ago
So scared that you'll need them again?
 
How far would you go
To relive the moment it started to snow
Will you ever let it end?

I know what time tells
It heals no one but itself
I know what time tells
I'm on my own

What We Do In the Shadows

Is it wrong to lie to someone who’d rather hear it
To play the part of who they wish you’d be?
Is it wrong to run from someone who wants to chase you
Just for them to finally catch then release?
Is it wrong to hurt someone who wants to hurt you
Just to ease some pain that they’ll never let you see?
Is it wrong to kill someone who hopes you die
In the middle of the night while you dream?

Is it wrong to want
The greatest sin is to want
Love to be easier

Dunkey's Greatest Moments - 1 Hour Compilation

You tremble like a star
So pretty but so far
Beyond this broken world
You swirl and swirl and swirl

Long forgotten child
Forced to wander, brave and wild
Your purpose in this world
Is to swirl and swirl and swirl

My light is growing dim
Adrift when I used to swim
Goodbye my darkened world
I swirl and swirl and swirl

Juliana

Reach through my skin
With your perfect hands
Tell me I am something
That I don't believe I am
Wander through my alleyways
Acquaint with all my thieves
Pick citrus from my orchards
Then rest in my dead leaves

If I could sing you off to sleep
This is what that song would be
I won't let you go

I want to read every page
And then start again
I want to hate your enemies
And love all your friends
I'll clean all the windows
In your little shop downtown
When it's time to lock the doors at night
We'll be more than what we found

If I could take you somewhere safe
This is the song that I would play
I won't let you go

The Defeat of the Emerald Weapon

It's a word, It's a phrase
It's a song, It's a place
It's a scent, familiar face
It's a breeze on a perfect day

It's a birth, it's a wedding
It's a joke that I'm forgetting
It's what I didn't say now I'm regretting
It's the eerie calm as the sun is setting

My world keeps getting colder
As your fire begins to smolder
Though this pain is never over
I thought I felt your hand on my shoulder

Yes it hurts, it always does
It's a cruel world without your love
But when I'm here, like a drug
I find comfort in the burning blood

It's a reminder that you're still living in my blood
