THE HOT LIES "Heart Attacks & Callous Acts" lyrics
Ok, seeing as people who are yet to purchase the EP have been asking for the lyrics so here they are.
GHOSTS & MIRRORS
I'm glad you killed me in Sunday bests.
Because I'll haunt forever
The rooms I love the best.
And this is how I'd want to dress
I'm such a mess, I've never felt much better.
Leave flyers and old letters where they are
Leave things as they are
Smile for the cameras
and flicker the lights
My image in the mirror
will haunt your life
Your songs still kill me
more better dead than alive
You looked so good
the trigger pulled so tight
But I could be a heart attack
A callous act, broken bones
Or better yet
Maybe things should stay the way they are
We'll haunt your life because we died
I see you every time you sleep
You see me every time you blink
If I forget this
You won't forget this.
BREAK AWAY
Tonight has been so criminal
Where do we go from here
to make a quick getaway
Take your aim and fire
Make your mistakes and fly
Without goodbyes
Take your aim and fire
No mistakes this time
Holding on for life
when we've lost all control.
Why run just stay forever
Break away with me tonight
Matches and can of kerosene
where do we go from here
to set this street ablaze
Scared and terrified
get me out alive
Without goodbyes
Take your aim and fire
No mistakes this time
Holding on for life
when we've lost all control
I never thought we'd stay forever.
PROMISE ME
Dream a little dream
Another little dream tonight
I'll dream myself to death
It's all that I can handle
Someone fix this mess
Dreaming of a way
to get me out of here tonight
Forever never ends
I'm hung, I'm drawn, I'm courting.
Nothing but a knife to my chest.
Promise me this won't hurt
And promise me now
Maybe we won't wake up tomorrow.
Look me straight in the eye
And tell me what you see
Scratched up memories
the bruises, cuts, the scars, the stinging
Still I don't feel a thing
She's seeping like salt into the cuts
I'm dreaming, I won't wake up.
Everything falls in around us
My heart is beating
But you make me nervous.
TELL ME GOODNIGHT
Check the mirror
Don't ever lock and load on this
So fragile, so cold
Words freeze over your lips
that red is your colour, baby.
Hiding green smiles your faking
You wear it so well
Tell me goodnight
Like you'll never know me
Tell me goodnight
I wish this was the end
But I'm waiting for sharper words
To come from trusted friends
So empty you're dancing
On my firing range street
No shadows glass houses
And everyone hears you scream
Now blue's become you, baby.
No cover-up can save you.
You wear it well.
Good burns deserve another two
that's one thing that I've learned from you.
TAKING CHANCES
Footprints all through this place
Painted myself in
I just can't walk away
Even though you can't name names
You've seen this face before
I can't leave until you're lying on the floor
So calmly drop the knife
Don't ever stop, don't look back now.
Thought that we'd go down with a fight
I'll take my chances tonight
Happens all the time
So this is how to start a fire
happens all the time
was there something you missed
This scene is a mess
And you're part of this
Round here everyone knows your face
There's eyes in the lamplight
And your cigarette smoke
Is spelling your name
So calmly drop the knife
Bruised lips & broken eyes
Don't ever stop, don't look back now.
Will you comfort my fears
Forget we were here
Strip our names from Enigma walls
I'm scared
Take this knife to our smiles
Make everything right
Always thought that we'd down with a fight.
