Take me to the sea and drop me off by the lake
I'm just more bad news that you can't take
Kids dying daily from Angel attacks
Don't want to hold you down, just want to hold you back
All your dreams and all your aspirations
Set the track to 26 and crawl back into my bed
We can build the world in our dreams, as it suits you
We can make the best of these things, if you want to
Just crawl inside my dummy plug and tell me what to do
I'm your giant fucking robot: pilot me how you want to
Ziegel on the ocean lookin down at the waves
While people on the beach are bustin my mix tapes
Great fuckin day to be alive
It's times like this I wish I knew how to ride
Asuka, you're like two different people
I'll take you to a love hotel and teach you how to make out
We can build the world of our dreams, if it suits you
We can make the best of these things, if you want to
Just crawl inside my dummy plug and tell me what to do
I'm your giant fucking robot: pilot me how you want to

Oh, Delores, can't you feel me suffer?
I can see myself inside of your gaze
My fingers turn to cinders whenever you look my way
On the poolside, we met on your verdana
A painted angel who had fallen from grace
Later in the evening you enchant me below the waist
And I can feel your presence in a million ways
Your breath upon my neck will drive me into a craze
Must I deal with torment till the end of my days?
I'm lost inside the forest, trapped in a dolorous haze
Lo-lee-lo-lita, breathe and take me higher
A single syllable will set me ablaze
Sit upon my lap so I can feel your warmth kiss my face
Whoa! It's getting harder and harder
Because my heart is pounding and it will not abate
I tried to stay platonic but I just can't wait
I swear that I will love you in a million ways
Beautiful and lawless, become my Delores Haze

Big Powerful CEO

|
I'm a big, powerful CEO, but I get tongue-tied around you
You got me ch-ch-checkin my horoscope
To see if it's maybe true.
My stomach clenches and I hide when I catch sight of you
I have punched out a grizzly bear, but I get tongue-tied around you

Douglas Fairbanks, I need you
There's a young lady who your charms should attend to
She's sweet and she's kind, but she isn't mine
Mine sleeps the whole night through, but
I'm led to her like a lamb to a slaughter
I'm six feet under and still treading water
And I know that every girl is someone's daughter
But I don't want to be untrue
Oh, you kill with a smile. Why can't she find someone like you?
Douglas Fairbanks, she's calling
Over the phone and I've spent big hours stalling
She licks and she writhes, invites me inside
But I am ignoring her clues
Because I love a lady
Who someday I have intended to marry
And when she's around her voice is the sound
That's giving me all of my cues
I'm led to her like a lamb to a slaughter
I'm six feet under and still treading water
And I know that every girl is someone's daughter
But I don't want to be untrue
Oh, she kills with a smile. Why can't she find someone like you?

Drive your car to where the ocean meets the surf
We can wait awhile, alone for what it's worth
I will wait for you, I've been lonely too
And I want to waste an afternoon with you
I will be your girl and you can be my man
You can ride in the tour bus of my rock band
I'll keep holdin' true, I am horny too
But I'll wait if it means I can feel with you

Money makes me happy when I'm feelin crappy
I take a little trip to the ATM, take out my card
And stick it right in

Film School

I miss the sand between my toes, pull the shutters
Sit inside my dorm room everyday
Watch the Slayer run and pray for the
Happy ending that won't come.
Joss, must you kill everyone?
I know that we all die some day
I wish that I still loved the way you wrote.
I once looked into the sky and saw the moon
Now I only see the truth
I've exhausted all the wonder of my youth
I'll be running home to you, touch my heart and give me proof
You can blame film school, you can blame college
You can blame economics
But that won't bring me back the thrill I felt when
Buffy staked The Master
I want my bliss back! I want a heart attack!
I just want the magic veil
Please don't let me see beats in your screenplay

If She Says It's Alright
02:35
|

|
I am not a man of action
I use words - I wield proverbs - I deny my satisfaction
If I feel impulses I sweep them under my bed
You are a trial, not a saviour
Fingertips tracing my lips into danger
Not you, it is me. You're Circe and my queen
Threatens me to cautiously tread
Collar on my ankle, rope on my neck
And I can feel her knuckles tighten the noose
I've got mints in my pocket for my terrible breath
But I'm still counting my mistakes around you
Vowels on a mission presuppose my preposition
Shoot me down before I sink in my tooth
I won't touch you - that would be wrong!
But we can stay up all night, if she says it's alright
There's no thrill for me in hunting
Stick to my guns - I've been married since twenty
"You're a dream!" so you say.
Almost as if you knew that I dream about you

I'm a sitcom villain and my enemies uphold
The sins of all our fathers: pagan gods of status quo
They're rotten from the inside out and anyone can see
That they were using you and fooling him and fucking me
It's a war, I swear with every foreign nation
On the land and sea
And Anne Frank is happy living with Jeff Mangum
But she's sexting me
We're fucked if you must move upstate
I know we'll never procreate
But I just want to see you now and then
Because everything I love, I've stolen.

Brendan Steere Pasadena, California
Singer/songwriter from awesome alternative rock band Free Parking!
I also make movies.
Brendan Steere recommends:
My real band, which is where all the good stuff goes, trust me.

supported by 6 fans who also own “Blood”
For me, I love the way the lyrics accompany the sound. The sort of juxtaposition of lyrics about mental health and loneliness with the typically upbeat instrumentals, some harsher than others.
