LEFT ARM OF LIFE

(rook)
when everything breaks down
and we're drowning in blood
even in the depths
i treasure everything that we've become
it's like a pearl
formed from the pressure
of all the blood
in a world of nightmares
it's feeding on love
it's growing stronger
and coming alive
it's so scared and confused
but it still wants to survive
it dreams of a future:
impending doom
it clings to the hope
that it might pull through
and everyone stares at it with disdain
but it's trying so hard
every single day
all we can do is try again
all we can do is try again
all we can do is try again
all we can do is try again
(rook+devi)
all we can do is try again
all we can do is try again
all we can do is try again
all we can do is try again
(???)
try..........again

its just rock and roll, it's not that serious.
worthless praying
keep the music playing
can you keep on singing with me
as the hours stretch on so evil?
hopeless loving
shitty beat keeps thumping
lets get one more song in
I can't stand the endless silence dragging on
(rook)
fragile survival
falling thru the cracks of what's left
everything ends
but i got 60% left
battle-damage purgatory
hell-world princess
somehow everything's still unfolding
somehow we're both still holding on
(devi)
die
die for real
burn in hell
die right now
kissed by fire in the night
burn in hell
stay alive
hell is life
stay...
please.
please stay.

(devi)
there's a part of me that wants to keep destroying me
there's a part of me that wants to keep destroying me

I'll keep coming back together again
I don't wanna be alone
worthless dreaming
in a dying world
that I already love so I can't give it up yet AAAA!!!!

(rook)
sticky sticky thoughts
she thought
she could be stronger
quickly ticking heart
shes not
a quick responder
pulling crickets out of her mind
it kinda wanders
busy busy girl
she knows
how bad u want her dead
i know but i dont care
theres feelings in the air
i breathe
i cant
take it any longer
i just wanna have a good time
(devi)
I just gotta let it go
cover my head in sweet honey, love me
I won't fight for air, just love me
I won't fight for air
I wanna fall apart
my heart is sweet and mushy
I never wanted anything or anything
tied up in tangled angels hair
(rook)
itty-bitty worry a sign
of something larger
tryna chill and push it aside
its getting harder
sky
inside
her head
quickly getting darker
itchy itchy brain
hang on
a little longer
it feels like the world has lost her
drippy drippy dreams
its all
becoming water
creepy creepy ship
inside
a spooky harbor
dizzy dizzy world inside
her dizzy heart
her heart just falls apart
(devi)
I just gotta let it go
cover my head in sweet honey, love me
I won't fight for air, just love me
I won't fight for air
I wanna fall apart
my heart is sweet and mushy
I never wanted anything or anything
tied up in tangled angels hair
(rook)
theres a dying world inside
theres a dying world inside my head
i cant find a way to get out
everything is falling apart
its alright
alright
theres a dying world inside
theres a dying world inside my head
i cant find a way to get out
everything is falling apart
its alright
alright
alright

i just wanna be nice
but everything is freaky
everyone is walking a tightrope
so easy-peasy
i dont wanna fall
but more than that,
i dont want them to see me fall
ive practiced so hard
ive tried it all believe me
(devi)
i just wanna be nice
conversations flow like murky waters thru a stream
everybody struggles, words get tangled
twisted, sounding mean
when they don't even mean
to be fucked up
but it could still be
really badly fucked up
but that's ok
everyone makes mistakes
unless it's not a mistake
unless it's not a mistake
I just wanna be nice
I just wanna be nice
I just wanna be nice
(rook)
im so cute and well-adjusted
i know exactly what to say

i know u can see right thru the hole
i know u can see my soul

i just wanna be nice
i just wanna be NICE
I JUST WANNA BE-
(devi)
I wanna give people a chance
but they keep letting me down
I wanna be wrong again
I wanna be wrong about being wrong
this world shouldn't need to feel so lonely
is it because I'm too angry to be around anyone again?
ummmm... FUCK THIS SHIT!
I'm so cute and well-adjusted
I'm so cute and well-adjusted
I'm so cute and well-adjusted
I'm so cute and well-adjusted

it's just more of the boring shit from before
I thought it could be something different
but no it's the same thing only much more
(rook)
i keep making enemies
out of situations
that i don't understand
i just try to keep it basic
but everything's so
(rook+devi)

can you believe that
we're still here and not in hell?
or maybe this is
some other world after it fell?
somewhere far away that
just could not be saved and
all their dreams came crashing down
can you believe that
we still believe we can be saved?
but we just try to make the best
of the time that's left
try to care for the ones
who are special to us
drowning in blood
drowning in love
the tiny worlds that we've become
and we just try to make the best
of the time that's left
try to care for the ones
who are special to us
drowning in blood
drowning in love
the tiny worlds that we've become

(devi)
many bodies form a strange creature
looks like faces blooming into nature
everything bleeds into everything else
I just wanna live
I just wanna be whatever I am
the impossible dream of having a skin
everything crawls on, everything soaks in
I'll be eaten by ants but I won't feel that bad
I just wanna have my body to my Self while I still Am
and I don't wanna be polluted by
all the violence that already twisted me up
the impossible dream of having a skin
everything crawls on, everything goes in

of glass...
that's my idea of a joke, did it make you laugh =_=
(rook)
and in the wind and pouring rain
i'm so full of empty space
and the water drips and rots
my boards and shingles all away
and in the rain and howling wind
i think i feel my body sink
into the mud and slime...

even in hell
sound spirals down
alone in our torment
our songs can reach to each other
(rook)
even in the void
words bounce around
echoes compound into another world
that we can escape to
(devi)
that we can escape to
at least i hope there's somewhere left to go
and that we can all make it thru
my heart always ached for a thing and I never even knew what it was
my broken heart
my broken soul
my broken songs
people made fun of the songs but...
(rook+devi)
and its true we're broken
(rook)
but we blend in with all of this debris
so as long as were together
hell's the safest place on earth for us to be
(rook)
thats all i got so far
(devi)
[coughing] sorry its pretty good... its ok
(rook)
i kinda like it...
(devi)
i mean
i dunno...
