songs that remind me of Jessica; first two are by Jamison Parker, the last one is by Jack's Mannequin
"Slow Suicide"
It's the nightlife that gets them off;
So desperately they wait for the excuse of love.
We live like vampires
And we, we, we love like killers;
We all die like infants,
And we trust like mirrors.
[pre-chorus]
It's the smoke and the drinks and the smiles that it brings,
It's the pain and the sex disguised as innocence.
[chorus]
Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.
(Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.)
It's the love of guilt that forms the habit
Of being dramatically over-dramatic.
We live like vampires
And we, we, we love like killers;
We all die like infants,
And we trust like mirrors.
[pre-chorus]
It's the smoke and the drinks and the smiles that it brings,
It's the pain and the sex disguised as innocence.
It's the smoke and the drinks and the smiles that it brings,
(It's a desperate place for a desperate people to find their place before desperate heroes)
It's the pain and the sex disguised as innocence.
(A desperate place for a desperate...and they sing)
[chorus x2]
Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.
(Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.)
Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.
(Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.)
[bridge x2]
The songs they sing are in the key
Of the illusion of pain and its irony.
In the midst of lust and dropping names
The drugs they numb and they keep us sane.
[chorus x2]
Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.
(Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.)
Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.
(Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do.)
"Best Mistake"
I chronicled the days you made me want to live
Memorize the way that it felt and then I turned it into this kiss
Tonight I’m wearing my best smile and hope to make me worth your while
I’ll be the best mistake you’ll ever make
From the lack of sleep and the bloodshot eyes
To the nervous kiss and the butterflies
Does this make any sense at all
She said, she said
We‘re not sleeping, and I’m not breathing
If this means anything at all
I won’t let you leave me anymore
If this holds insignificance, I’ll have the hearse follow the ambulance
No medicine exists to make my lungs work again
Let’s shake and burn, like an addict
My hearings dead, only static
If I said your smiles all that mattered
Would you save my life
We‘re not sleeping, and I’m not breathing
If this means anything at all
Don’t let me leave you anymore
[4x]
Don’t let me leave you anymore
"Kill The Messenger"
Oh my God, this hurts like hell
I had that dream again where
I was lost for good in outerspace
Tell me, doctor, how to shake
A waking nightmare that is only
Worse when I am sleeping
Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that
Leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain...
It's not so easy, caving in
I walked by your apartment twice today
When you were gone at work
And all the colors got so down
It's not as cold out here
But come quick, I am losing feeling
Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that
Leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain, send a little rain
I'm gonna send a litte rain to pour down on you
Rain that makes the flowers bloom
Rain to leave you all alone
That keeps eyelashes falling
And wishes washed away
Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someowe I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that
Leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain...
i'm gonna send a little rain your way
