Blood Red Blood - Voxtrot

Lonely boy, where do we go
I'm stuck believing in the other side
stuck on my own
run fast, you're dreaming

no place to hide
safety in things i'm dumb for thinking
'cuz a piece of plastic
is nothing more than a piece of plastic

empty streets under my feet
how did we get so far?
from the general beat
across that great
held fast together in the dying day
oh you are swimming inside the magic hour
oh and when you wet your skin
you can suck up all you need to know
you can suck up all you need to know, oh oh

picture me, how will you picture me when i am dead?
all fast and free, building a fantasy with blocks in my head
a legacy, do these things disapate in the years unread?
i've got a pain just like a knife, and the time has left me

oh i'm just trying to do my best
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
build my love in the things i say
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

oh i'm just trying to do my best
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
build my love in the things i say
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

so i ran and i jumped and i flew till i came to the center of an earth so cold
and the wind picked me up and took me straight to the belly of the fears i hold
and i ran and i ran and i ran and i ran

then i came right back
threw my arms around you,
you were dressed in black,
i'm so glad i found you
for they burned my stuff,
objects all around me
memories outlast things,
memories astound me
to a fate like this
keep your body down to the ground
to the soil that we love so much
i always wanted to return
return to the place where i was born
i always wanted to return
and i ran and i ran and i ran

oh i'm just trying to do my best
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
build my love in the things i say
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

oh i'm just trying to do my best
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
build my love in the things i say
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

because in time it leaves you,
it leaves you like blood, red blood
it leaves you like blood, red blood
it leaves you like blood, red blood
it leaves you like blood, red blood

Firecracker - Voxtrot

I had a lust. I had a firecracker
I had a love for the sound of this world
Im still in love its just a stab at laughter
It’s just a mark of the people we are
But don’t be daft no it’s just a monkey business
They’re running signs no remainders of sins
We dealing abstract no pain and no deliverance.
This is a punch im not punching up against
Oh, Its all just mirrors laugh and smoke
We are living in some tiny joke
And im here to show my love, ambition, dedication out to

Kick the wall smash the lights, ricochets burning up
Firecracker
Firecracker
I will not complain at all
I will never be tricked by you.
No No No
I will never be tricked by you.

I never thought that I would be this ugly
I never thought I would be biting that hand
That feeds the mouth that spits the seeds of money
Im just a shell, im a sensitive man
We make a choice to unfold a tiny secret
Put it in lights for the grunt of this place
Is it the same thing to write it as to think it?
I'm chopping noses just to ruin my face.
Break down on the record company
Did you turn you back on me? Or did I turn myself against myself?

I will kick the walls smash the lights, ricochets burning up
Firecracker
Firecracker
I will not complain at all
I will never be tricked by you.
No No No
I will never be tricked by you.

Im still in love
I set the love in motion
I stare at love with the future we planned
Tell me you feel, this aint complete emotion
Im still in love with you baby I am
Oh, did you turn your back on me?
Or did I turn myself against myself?

I'll will kick the walls, smash the lights, ricochets burning up
Firecracker
Firecracker
I will not complain at all
I will never be tricked by you.
No No No
I will never be tricked by you
