DOOM LOOP LYRICS

CLIMBERS

a sign of the times when your eyes glaze over
they talk in circles never say our names
it’s just like striking a match in a pitch black room, yeah
it’s been there forever, just an old trick with a new face

i’ve got nothing left to prove
no, i’m too tired to be the nice guy
they don’t know me, they don’t know you
say we’re too small to have a big life
they just keep climbing to the bright lights

i sneak through the door, you’re already dreaming
how did i ever sleep without you there
they gave me the facts but none of the feeling
i toss and i turn like white ash in the air

FLOWERS IN MY TEETH

and all the white lines
in cracking pavent
the hours blow back and forth like leaves
and there will be water
and there will be wasted
and that’s still good enough for me

cause when you’re with me i don’t wanna leave
when you’re with me flowers in my teeth

and when i find you
in a hospital room
there’s 8 legs crawling on the ceiling
and i’ll drive to water
and swim till my knees hurt
and that’s still good enough for me

TWO SUITS

two suits in the back of your closet
it’s true, you sold it, i bought it
you play that game so well
that nobody knows you’re playing
two fingers crossed in your pocket

you turn off the radio
whenever i enter the room
pass it off, stay white as snow
but everyone knows that it’s you
yeah it’s you

two drinks, we’re talking in your kitchen
i think i’ve found a friend
i was a stupid kid
but i have been forgiven
two words i spit out “i’m leaving”

that grudge i’ll never lose

you never call or write
like that’s some big surprise
how do you sleep at night
it’s eighty fucking dollars

LA DENTISTA

we’ve got our hands in your mouth
and you say you’ll change
bad words you’re swallowing down
they’ll come back up eventually
i took a chance, i always will
but it’s time i just can’t kill

“next year i’ll follow you home
next year i’ll be
ship myself back to the west coast
change everything”
but you’re still you, you always will
nice words don’t change the way you feel

if you won’t talk about it
how could i find a way around it
could pull out all your teeth
and you’d still lie to me

we’ve got our hands in your mouth
and you say that you’re gonna change
we won’t get close, we won’t get near
cause you just say what you think i wanna hear

if we can’t talk about it
it’s like a bad dream, i’m back in college
well i could quit, yeah i could leave
and you’d still find a way to lie to me
the world is ending while you sleep

OUT FOR BLOOD

you’re out for blood in the older south
picture yourself in your dad’s old house, alright
the doors are locked and you can’t see straight
you’re lost for good in that pitch black state, alright
go on and hunt me down
it’s way too late to turn back now

i don’t hear it when you whisper in your sleep
but every morning it’s just waiting there for me
i got this feeling i can’t shake
i got this broken heart that i just can’t set straight
no i can’t get away

i’m out for blood and i’m not sure why
i had a dream all my friends will die, alright
and every since it’s been a real weird day
pick up the phone and i forget my name, alright
come on and snap me out
it’s way too late to turn back now

THE ECONOMIST

i am the economist
my worst fears all came true
dear all the snakes that i have met
i wave white flags to you
and it’s a long long way to the foot of your bed
it’s been a long hard day and i can’t ever get you alone
how do i get you alone

and if i go away, can i ever go back, can i ever turn back? no
new knives that i can’t escape cause i ain’t living in the black
i ain’t living in the black, i know
i could never make it alone

the faucets leak, the floorboards squeak
i’ve found my place to live
woke up riding shotgun
felt that daylight creeping in
it’s been a long hard day take me out to the back
i think i lost my way but honey you got the map, i know

i just wanna be good at something i like
something i might wake up for
cause i’ve been sleeping so long
i’m up on a stage or minimum wage
scream myself hoarse

and if i go away well i won’t wait, no i can’t wait
turn around and you’ll get replaced
no i won’t wait forever, no i won’t

IF YOU’RE LEAVING

fluorescent lightbulbs
feels just like high school
i could see it coming
you started cutting off the loose ends
i could make new friends

and you’ll sneak out like
she’s the bosses daughter
like they’ve been keeping
your head underwater
like i am no one so why bother

and i’ve been waiting
here with my eyes wide
i kept my mouth shut
and my shoelaces untied
but these days i don’t know what’s wrong or right
i just feel so half-alive

i don’t really want you to say goodbye
but if you are leaving, then it’s just polite

i won’t wait for no one else but you
it’s all i can do
i can’t think straight when you say my name it’s true
i don’t know what to do
it’s true, i’ve got my sights set on

LAST ONE IN

this is it
it’s all up in the atmosphere
could be the last time your friends are gonna be
one place, one town
cause i’m out of here
i was the last one in
i won’t be the last to leave

took a little time to get it right
i broke the bottle and bled my hands dry
you are me were on the run
i still remember how it felt to be someone
i didn’t know it at the time
i had it oh so easy
a charming life
but i don’t live here anymore
and i don’t really care the way i thought i cared before

cicadas ringing in my ear
tornadoes and sirens
the coast is clear
loving you was like a dream
i’m tossing and turning can’t get back to sleep
i’ve been so serious for so long
it’s ones and zeros
it’s nothing personal
make me get out on the floor
cause i don’t wanna care the way i thought i cared before

i don’t wanna light that match for nothing
i heard he wants to fight me in the street
when i cut you off then you are out of my head forever
i don’t know what that says about me

100 DEGREES

it was a hundred degrees
you said “lets give up
and grow our hair to our knees
say it’s just my luck”
you keep looking around
for a bright white something
hey man i’m calling you out
can’t keep calling it nothing

and it feels like i said too much
or maybe i’m losing touch
i know somedays shit gets so heavy
but i won’t sing that song no more

there’s just no way i could start
when we are nothing alike
when you’re a light in the dark
keeping me up all night
i’m gonna ask you to stop
if this is love, i’m not buying
don’t wanna start it all over and over
i don’t wanna start dying

and it feels like i said too sweet
wherever you want i’ll be

yeah it’s ok
i am here and i am ready to fade away

and all of your dreams will die
like shadows who walked outside
when that daylight gets too heavy
well i won’t sing that song no more
yeah it’s ok

FALLING DOWN

when the last one fires
and the clock stops breaking down
what would that feel like
cause i think i might feel it now
all time laid out
like baseball cards
on your bedroom floor
in your old backyard

you don’t ask for answers and i’m way to tired to be
the nights getting longer and i’m way too wasted to speak

don’t you start falling down
don’t want you dying in my sleep
i feel it all around
there’s no safe place for you and me

if i don’t think twice
and my knife cuts sharp and deep
if i smile real wide
yeah, i watch you while you sleep
all time laid out
like baseball cards
in your broken hands
in your old backyard

i’d never say it but god, it feels good to be free
it’s been holding me back like a dog
i can’t get off the leash
