From "Play Crack the Sky" by Brand New
(this is the end.)
this story's old, but it goes on and on until we disappear.
(this is the calm.)
calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath.
(we are the resin)
i am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea.
(after the storm.)
i spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.
(rest here with thee,)
i know that this is what you want.
(washed up on the beach.)
a funeral keeps both of us apart.
you know that you are not alone.
i need you like water in my lungs.
(this is the end.)

"Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis" by Brand New
With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
'Bout five or six bring you out to the car
Number nine with my head on the bar (in the bar)
And its sad, but true
Out of cash and I-O-U's.
I got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tounge will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar, get you out of the cold
A sober straight face, gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared, that we know
All the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home.
I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say.
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while
Your mouth makes your demands
You laugh at every word
Trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can't sin or spend the night all alone.
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold,
In the shape of a heart
That they cut out of stone
You're using all your looks
That you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way, I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause its all you can be
You're a drunk
And your scared
Its ladies night, all the girls drink for free.
I will lie awake
and lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
let you fall for every empty word I say.
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say.
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say.
two amazing songs by an amazing band. off to shower now, bye loves.
