Building A Better

Park Building A Better Lyrics
1.The Trophy Wife

Hold me up to the brightest light
Where you've made me all but blind
And your scheming fingertips
Dance across my shoulder blades
This evening's got me feeling
Sad and I'm sickened to my stomach
Your perfect arms are more like ropes around my waistline

I only wanted to be loved by you
I only wanted to be loved by you
I'm sad and sick of guessing
For the moment when our lips meet melting
I only wanted to be loved by you

Call me out to the darkest night
Where you've left me small and shy
Your fleeting blasiss
Turns me into what I hate
I'm keeping what you're stealing
Sad and I'm sickened into my stomach
And you're sunken eyes deny
Every shard that you've gave
I hoped you'd say

I only wanted to be loved by you
I only wanted to be loved by you
I'm sad and sick of guessing
For the moment when our lips meet melting
I only wanted to be loved by you

Someone's been sparing out lies trying not to show their eyes
Sketching with the ghost, our boyfriends collide
Someone's been sharing out lies trying not to sacrifice
Sketching with the ghost, there's not much left inside

I only wanted to be loved by you
I only wanted to be loved by you
I'm sad and sick of guessing
For the moment when our lips meet melting
I only wanted to be loved by you

So me and your eyelids, poured out naked onto the floor
So me and your eyelids, poured out naked onto the floor


2.Mississippi Burning

More nightmares
Someone wake me when they're through
Stop my lover's ghost from trying to protrude
(You're burning, you're burning)
It's chaotic, but I've got it
You're letter scratched across my throat
Like some painter's ink, spilled the canvas soiling parts of me

Cover up, cover up, all the fusion's lost
I know this sucks but one day you'll meet up
I miss the softness of your sound
The taste of you left in my mouth

Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Sick sounds like stomach's stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red horizon in the south
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you

Your shadow
Now lies against the moon
The skin I touched that once
Kissed has come unglued
(You're burning, you're burning)
It's chaotic, but I've got it
More screams than anyone should hear
The voice of you stabs in my chest
Forged and faithless

Cover up, cover up, all the fusion's lost
I know this sucks but one day you'll meet up
I miss the softness of your sound
The taste of you left in my mouth

Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Sick sounds like stomach's stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red horizon in the south
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you

Darling boy
Lift your chin up for me now
For my face to see
And I am smiling looking down
I know you're out of breath
You're hit by the way I've left
Just hold me tried and true
For I'll be waiting

Waiting here for you

So dim these lights, I won't be found
This haunting stops right here and now
There's pain and in his eyes of fixed dreaming
I'm tired without you, so let it be
So dim these lights, I won't be found
This haunting stops right here and now
There's pain in his eyes of fixed dreaming
I'm tired without you, so let it be

Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you


3.Who Is Aliandra

A short dance is all I can offer you
I've no plans of letting this ensue
But you look so hot tonight
I'd swear you were steam
Rising up from underneath
I'll set traps in your bed timed to explode
Make certain no one ever knows
That I was with you once
Never to be again

With all addictions lost
There's no time to notice
Or how I'll match up to you (the state of cringing)
And every weekend spent
Just condescending
In lieu of truth

Scarred hands stretch out to make me promise you
There's no chance of letting out the truth
And you look so hot tonight
I'd swear you were steam
Crawling out from under me
I'll tie hooks in your hair so your lover knows
You've adapted to anything everyone throws
And I am not him, who used to lay beside you

With all addictions lost
There's no time to notice
Or how I'll match up to you (the state of cringing)
And every weekend spent
Just condescending
In lieu of truth (building a better you)

Small feet
I'm barely an engine
I won't let you stop this ascension
So come on, come on
Give me an answer
I won't let this slip until then

Does this sound strange to you?
The whole world scorched a bitter blue

(You look so hot tonight)
You're attracted to boys who are other than those
(I'd swear you were steam)
You're encased in a slew of cracked windows
(Rising up from underneath)
Well I was with you once, never to be again

With all addictions lost
There's no time to notice
Or how I'll match up to you (the state of cringing)
And every weekends spent
Just condescending
In lieu of truth (building a better you)


4.Angles and Errors

There's a selfless soul I'm seeking
One that wants nothing, just look after me
Such is a seldom seed, planted far from the sun
And full of hope, she's not yet gone

Well lift your sleeves
So bare they might see
Your angles and errors
Arms that have shared you
With every heart etched in your skin
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry, for who I am

If such a pillowed hand worth holding
Staggers into palms which are running
Take a taste to be taken away I do believe
Centerfold, now to complete

Can someone be
More of a mother to me?
Discern out my thoughts
Correct all my verses
Show me I'm wanted every night
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry, for who I am

It's such a sad eclipse, fired sure as a bullet
Such a tatter, on a chest that will not happen
I take a chance, to be taken away a
And suddenly fall back into place
I'm so sorry (everyday now it's true)
I'm so sorry (everyday now it's true)
I'm so sorry (everyday now it's true)
I'm so sorry (everyday now)

I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry, for who I am


5.A Message

Wake up wanting
This is your message
You struck deep what most find hard to reach
Well god damnit you want me
But you don't get so involved
I'll do what's best and slowly dissolve

I'd hold the sun up just to wake beside you
Imagine what you could see, if you just let yourself like me
Forget the incidents, thoughtless and abusing
Imagine what you could see, if you just let yourself like me

Don't be sorry
You're less enticing
You've just lost what most find hard to keep
I'll take two of the white ones
Forget what I said last month
I'll spare myself, the embarrassment

I'd hold the sun up just to wake beside you
Imagine what you could see, if you just let yourself like me
Forget the incidents, thoughtless and abusing
Imagine what you could see, if you just let yourself like me

Cause I do
I was foolish to have thought I could catch you
Stupid to have ever liked you
And you're sly little smile
Curved the comforts I used to find
Drag me inside
I'm yours to use tonight (I'm yours to use tonight)
I'm yours to use tonight

I'd hold the sun up just to wake beside you
Imagine what you would see, if you just let yourself like me
Cause I do
Cause I do
I was foolish to have thought I could catch you
Stupid to have ever liked you
But I do
But I do


6.Chica Chica

Reach out
For I cannot recall
Blurred nights, hands like ice
Spinning bathroom walls
And every soulless face
Seems to me a drowning fate
Cut slow they say
Think of a better way to count your hours

There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night

And don't talk
For every word turns cold
Jump back what your best at
Keep buying what I'm sold
And every sickened stare
Draws from me a steaming glare (steaming glare)
What words you say
Think of a better way to haunt your hours

There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night

Wake me up
For a never ending cycle scares me
Pull me up
This night I hate but keep repeating
Wake me up
For a never ending cycle scares me
Pull me up
This night I hate but keep repeating

There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night

Hear the sound of our own hearts breaking
Keep our thoughts as to what we're drinking
Fear the sound of our own lungs breathing
Keep our thoughts as to what we're drinking
There's a problem with the sky tonight


7.La Amoureux

Lover undo me
For weeks I've waited for your return
My head down
Eyes to the ground
My guess is a sure thing
You won't be back

Thank you for a month's worth of wooing
Your warm lips and my body for using
Six shades of mischievous gray
Sprinting through your skinny veins
It's no wonder my sense of perception
Is no better than a sailor in weather
So rough as to spill your guts
The sea swells up just enough, to keep your head up

Lover undo me
For weeks I've waited for your return
My head down
Eyes to the ground
My guess is a sure thing
You won't be back
You've all but consumed me
For days I pray for you to burn
I won't try to relive the nightlife
I had when I had you

Lot more of them need to fall
With eyes so soft and a livid cough she sighs
'Don't come near me
God damnit I am waving my colors of warning'
I am sorry darling
I'm just so sick of starving
You smile as I start my dive
Hands on hips, it parts your lips
Pushed to one side

Lover undo me
For weeks I've waited for your return
My head down
Eyes to the ground
My guess is a sure thing
You won't be back
You've all but consumed me
For days I pray for you to burn
I won't try to relive the nightlife
I had when I had you

And those six shades that I spoke of
Are just acts you try to pull off
Just as a cavity
Swallowing the things you need
Yet you skim what won't repeat
All demands what I've been asking
Your arms like a tragedy
Suffering from sun
I will cut myself off never to be turned back on

Lover undo me
(I will cut myself off never to be turned back on)
You've all but consumed me
(I will cut myself off never to be turned back on)
Lover undo me
(I will cut myself off never to be turned back on)

You'll end up starved out in some attic
Alone and afraid watching reruns of past times
Your hair falling out in heaps
The bridges you've burned
The ashes you keep


8.Irukandji

Pose for me
Revealing every inch of your body
It goes to show your true love tones are so shallow
Stave off the option
This ugly infection
Says to me your anything but desire

Smile for me
Revealing something of and pretty
Your perfect skin can't shake the sight that you're lacking
Overall it's just the way you are
Underneath your belly hides the scars
Of who you really are

Take me away (take me away)
From skin that won't hum but glows
I'll be ok (I'll be ok)
Don't let them injure you
Further away (further away)
Smile you can't help but show
Somewhere someday (somewhere someday)
Don't let them injure you

Such a shame
But on that day
Your looks began to fade
To be ordinary yet understanding
Ordinary yet understanding
Your skin won't amount to shit when it's deep in the dirt

Wait for me
For I can show you something appealing
Goes against your true love tones but you're hollow
Hold your arms
I will hold her legs
And with that began to cut away
The things that make her oh so pretty
To be just a stump when I'm done with this plot

Take me away (take me away)
From skin that won't hum but glows
I'll be ok (I'll be ok)
Don't let them injure you
Further away (further away)
Smile you can't help but show
Somewhere someday (somewhere someday)
Don't let them injure you

Take me away
From skin that won't hum but glows
I'll be ok (I'll be ok)
Don't let them injure you
Further away (further away)
Smile you can't help but show
Somewhere someday (somewhere someday)
Don't let them injure you


9.Intro

It's neither touch nor taste
But silvery lines, the cute friendly face
I'll stand
You'll withdraw
Take me and I'm right on
What words sound the best to use?
What verse could possibly catch you?

Tell me why your heart sends sick, mixed messages
Tell me why my arteries cease to work
Show me to the sharpest, the right one so plangent
Strike out, the memories first
Tell me why your heart sends sick, mixed messages
Tell me why my arteries cease to work
Show me to the sharpest, the right one so plangent
Cause I look to you, I bathe in the earth
As I look to you, I bathe in the earth
As I look to you, I bathe in the earth


10.Hide and Seek

If this is one of your adjectives
You used to wake me up
Then this morning war has started
If this is one of your adjectives
You used to wake me up
Then this morning war has started

I'll use my sense of touch to talk
You'll strain your arms trying to prop me up
Don't look so disappointed
I'll try my best to push you off
You'll bruise my wrist trying to pull me up
This morning war has started
I want out, or else severed
These ties to me forever
I won't let anyone pull me from this bed
It won't work, the legs quiver
A cold sweat, reduced to shivers
I won't let anything come in between this lavish place I've
found

I'm set running
'Olly olly olly oxen free' shouted loud
Your lack of interest mixed with those chemicals
Shatters the ropes the devil had built
Your lack of interest mixed with those chemicals
Shatters the ropes the devil had built

If this is one of your adjectives
You used to wake me up
This morning war has started
If this is one of your adjectives
You used to wake me up
This morning war has started

I'm set running
'Olly olly olly oxen free' shouted loud
Your lack of interest mixed with those chemicals
Shatters the ropes the devil had built
Your lack of interest mixed with those chemicals
Shatters the ropes the devil had built

A cold sweat, and you shiver
Your legs reduced to quivers
One light stays on
I'm set running
I'm set running
I'm set running ('olly olly olly oxen free' shouted loud)
I'm set running ('olly olly olly oxen free' shouted loud)

Right now, I haven't the slightest bit of remorse for this sound
Right now, I haven't the slightest bit of remorse for this sound
Right now, I haven't the slightest bit of remorse for this sound
Right now, I haven't the slightest bit of remorse for this sound
