Organ Donor

I am used, secondhand
My parts once had other plans
Sure they work just like they should
Just trying to work for something good

They were hardly ever yours
I'm missing pieces from before
Way before I knew your name
If you're here to help, you're far too late

I like to watch you lose your nerve
I like to watch you start to squirm
Like watching something pretty burn
I like to watch you lose your nerve

I've given up my heartbeat
Handed it out, all for free
The last one here took what was left
Didn't leave much for the rest

I close my eyes when I lie
So I can listen deep down inside
Just to hear if there's any sound
It's my own damn fault, it's all run out

I like to watch you lose your nerve
I like to watch you start to squirm
Like watching something pretty burn
I like to watch you lose your nerve

You Asked For This

I'm sorry, but you won't be joining the others.
I had to change the pattern up a bit and experiment a tinge.
There won't be any more discussion of you in the future.
You will remain in the past.
In my head, there will be no filing cabinet kept with your initials on it.
It will restore to it's previous settings, based on my time before you.
Any brief moment of weakness will be immediately followed by an extended moment of relief.

The Animal Inside

I'd like the animal inside of you to show it's face
Come out and tear away at my lungs, crack my ribcage
Watch the smoke escape like a prison break
Sink your claws into the meat of my thighs
Drag them up and through my eyes
Whatever you do, just make sure my love is blind

Blow My Mind To Pieces

You seep in and out of my life
Like smoke does in my lungs
You creep in and out of my mind
Like smoke from a loaded gun

But when you point your thumb and your finger
Against my temple
Be sure you have what it takes to pull the trigger

I want you to blow my mind
I want you to blow my mind
I want you to blow my mind
So pull the trigger

You were smiling behind my eyes
When my eyelids weighed a ton
You just pick and choose the nights
To remind me of what we've done

So when you point your thumb and your finger
Against my temple
Be sure you have what it takes to pull the trigger

I want you to blow my mind
I want you to blow my mind
I want you to blow my mind
So pull the trigger
