(Love Amongst Lepers 6.) - FUNERAL

went to the store today and found what we like
we bought everything up from them, then we got high
forgot about all the food, focused on us
and the space between everything, what a big lie
let go, let go, let go
went for a drive today down to the beach
we rode up on the ferris wheel, me and my peach
cause we do cool shit, when we have the time
how much time have we got?
how much time?
let go, let go, let go

(Love Amongst Lepers 2.) - THE LEPERS

Girl put on your face you know you always look so pretty
Take my hand lets go explore the nightlife of the city
both of us are so much nicer once we've had a few drinks
Then you'll spill out your secrets and I'll let down my guards
we dont know how to say "I love you" unless we're sitting at the bar
thats just the way that we are
though this might seem a game of inches luv, I feel we've come so far
and girl I'd love to see you naked but theres car seats in the car
Lets go out back, back to the alleyway, I'll lift up your skirt
love to love to love you
And so I'll be Thomas Covenant and you'll be Linden Avery
you will see all the sickness inside me
and we'll go run around downtown yelling "unclean"
and all our sins that came before, they each come knocking at our door
they invite themselves right in, theyve come to spend the night with us
oh girl I know that you cant fix me anymore than I can fix you
but I do know how to love you and to hold you and to kiss you...
that will have to be enough love
love to love to love you
love to love to love you

(Love Amongst Lepers 5.) - PILLS AND DRAGONS

i wake a alone theres no one home, the world is silent, I dont want it
once upon a time we were all here
laughter, coffee, beans con crema 
come and take a shower with me, the girls will be fine for a little while
oh, I'll buy donuts, we'll go shopping, goodwill and salvation army
we can find more owls for our home
no more, my wife chose her white pills over me
momma loves the dragon more than me
you were lines, i was a pen, i'd write our stories to the end 
of happiness and sadness I could sing
but you had demons you would treat with
had them over, girl we have kids, demons have no welcome in my home
oh no, sleepless nights and senseless fights, betrayals in the fading light
you were selfish, you were wicked, you were Home
No more, my wife chose her white pills over me
momma loves the dragon more than me
my wife chose her white pills over me
momma loves the dragon more than me

(Love Amongst Lepers 1.) - NEWLYWEDS

I had the WORDS they were there in my head, but you spit in my face so I threw them away
I had the words they were there in my head but I threw them away yes I threw them away
I had the love it was here in my heart but you reached in my chest and you tore it apart
oh yes I had the love it was here in my heart but luv things fall apart, oh yes things fall apart
and if you want love luv I can give you love
but if you want war girl I can give you war
but if you want love luv I can give you love
but if you want war, well I can bring you war
I had your kiss it was here on my lips but you poisened your tongue till our love came undone
oh yes I had your kiss it was here on my lips but luv things fall apart, oh yes things fall apart
and if you want love luv I can give you love
but if you want war girl I can give you war
but if you want love luv I can give you love
but if you want war, well I will bring you war

(Love Amongst Lepers 3.) - JOAN OF ARC

Your painted skin tells its stories of past pain and glory
I'd like to read every line with my fingertips tracing each intricate storyline
I've tried, my love to deny all the pain that I cause just by standing here
and I'd leave but love I'm deceived by the tears in your eyes that you need me here
oh my tear stained lady, please dont cry
we can RIGHT our wrongs dear as we LAY among thorn covered sheets, where our bodies meet again
my bearded face holds its place so it says to your eyes that theres nothing wrong
but look beyond, love I'm not so strong that world could fall down and I'd still stand tall
no I've died
love something inside....
but the tears poured out backwards, fell down my throat
now my voice is drowning within or I'd reach out and tell you that you are loved
oh my tear stained lady, DONT YOU CRY
we will WRITE our wrongs HERE
as we lie among thorn covered sheets where our bodies meet again
So THIS is how it feels to be a martyr
this is how it feels to be convicted for your principals, principals?
the cost is MUCH too terrible.... UNbearable, UNBEARABLE
Penance is Eternal HERE!!!!
THIS is how it feels to be a MADMAN!
this is how it feels to be mistaken for a Gentleman, Gentle Man?
OH NO I AM A FEARSOME MAN
Tinder man, Wicker man, so Strike a spark I'LL BURN US DOWN!!
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN, down

(Love Amongst Lepers 4.) - BULL AND SCORPION

Save me, save me, love I'm feeling crazy
I've fallen for the emptiness inside myself
its danger, danger, dangerous to feel
so pour another glass and let the record play
shes lovely, lovely, pretty like her pictures
a shadow casting sunlight through her tear-stained eyes
we were drinking, laughing, oh we were such hip kids
she kissed me in a graveyard cause we had no homes to go to
the symbolisms understated, oh no
now the bull and the scorpion, theyve been dying since they first held
on
she stings me, stings me, destroys me as she feeds me
shes always clothed in red in times of love and war
I'm helpless, helpless, helpless to defend
my stubborn nature dictates I come back for more
oh no love, its written in the stars above
so the bull and the scorpion, theyve been dying since they first held
on
We must have lost our senses, look how the stars are aligned against us
you, you dont know how to love me, me I dont know how to love you girl
we must have lost our senses, look how the stars have aligned against
ut!
doomed to fall apart forever...
at least we'll fall together
And I cannot sleep! and I cannot breathe! this blood that we bleed, the
fire it feeds, and the battle drums pound as the skies pull us down, we
refuse to concede this love we need, though it tires us out and it
fills us with doubt, we will earn every scar in our war with the stars,
you lift me up, you tear me down, this love that we makes the world
spin round, and I will never let go!
