i have been listening to ioh on loop for the past two weeks. so therefore!! (ordered by track order not neccisarily which lines r my most fav lol)
1. thriller
the only thing i haven't done yet is die / and it's me and my plus one at the afterlife
so long live the car crash hearts / cry on the couch, all the poets come to life / fix me in 45
2. "the take over, the break's over"
wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? style your wake for fashion magazines
3. this ain't a scene, it's an arms race
i wrote the gospel on giving up (you look pretty sinking) / but the real bombshells have already sunk (primadonnas of the gutter)
crashing not like hips or cars / no, more like p-p-parties
all the boys who the dance floor didn't love / and all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough: sing. till your lungs give out.
4. i'm like a lawyer with the way i'm always trying to get you off (me & you)
the best way to make it through / with hearts and wrists intact / is to realize- two out of three ain't bad, ain't bad
5. hum hallelujah
so! hum hallelujah, just off the key of reason
a teenage vow in a parking lot, til tonight do us part / i sing the blues and swallow them too
i love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital / one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door
sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills / i could write it better than you ever felt it
6. golden
tongues on the sockets of electric dreams / where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens
and i knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me
7. thnks fr th mmrs
and i want these words to make things right / but it's the wrongs that make the words come to life
one night stand (one night stand off)
8. don't you know who i think i am?
we walk the plank on a sinking ship / there's a world outside of my front door that gets off on being down
i could learn to pity fools as i'm the worst of all
broken down on memory lane / alone together, we're alone
9. the (after) life of the party
i'm a stitch away from making it / and a scar away from falling apart, apart
10. the carpal tunnel of love
we keep the beat with your blistered feet / and we bullet the words at the mockingbirds singing
take tears of mine, make yourself wetter
11. bang the doldrums (uh. i think this is like almost the whole song. help.)(i am NOT petekeying i just really fuckin like this song)
i wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm when you passed out / i couldnt bring myself to call. except to call it quits
best friends, ex friends till the end / better off as lovers but not the other way around
racing through the city, windows down in the back of yellow checkered cars
can't commit to a thing, be it heart or hospital
the tombstones were waiting. they were half engraved. they knew it was over. they just didn't know the date
i cast a spell over the west to make you think of me, the same way i think of you. this is a love song, in my own way / happily ever after below the waist
12. fame < infamy
i am god's gift, but why would he bless me with / such wit without a conscience equipped
i'm addicted to the way i feel when i think of you / there's too much green to feel blue
signing off "i'm alright in bed, but i'm better with a pen" / the kid was alright but it went to his head
13. you're crashing, but you're no wave
case open, case shut / but you could pay to close it like a casket
hang on a rope or bated breath / whichever you prefer
and everyone's looking for relief / a bidding war for an old flame's grief
too well dressed for the witness stand / the press pays for whichever headline's worse
14. i've got all this ringing in my ears but none on my fingers
cause sorrow is just all the rage
do you remember the way i held your hand under the lamp post and ran home this way? / so many times i can close my eyes
15. g.i.n.a.s.f.s. (gay is not a synonym for shitty)
i know its a strange way of saying that i know i'm supposed to love you, i'm supposed to love you
and i've traced your shadows on the wall / now i kiss them whenever i'm down whenever i'm down
figured on not figuring myself out
cross my heart and hope to die, splinter from the headboard in my eye
16. it's hard to say "i do", when i don't
and i've got the red carpet blues, baby
but the only ring i want buried with me / are the ones around my eyes
and everyone shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat
