Filthy Habit

Hope is not lost
It is patiently waiting for us
So take off that black dress
And we'll disappear
Love is not kind
It's a dirty little trick of the mind
My beautiful weakness
I'm happy you're here
Be my filthy habit, love
Be my danger and my drug
We may find some sleep tonight
If you'll be my filthy habit love
Do as you please
Baby make an example of me
Go until broken, and hungry for more
Be what I need
Lady, teach a machine how to bleed
Dismantle me, deadly
Make me a storm
Be my filthy habit, love
Be my danger and my drug
We may find some sleep tonight
If you'll be my filthy habit love
I'm howling at the moon for you
It's so lonely, so lonely here
Be my filthy habit, love
Be my danger and my drug
We may find some sleep tonight
If you'll be my filthy habit love
So take off that black dress
And we'll disappear

Devil Throw Roses

Oh we died on every corner
In the days before the flood
And we waded in the water
Frozen fingers dipped in mud
I wrote letters on the back
of every napkin I could burn
and you left with no intention of return
Oh, we danced down the stairs into hell
And the Devil, he threw roses
One day I will see you again
And the Devil will throw roses
And the Devil will throw roses
Now a ghost of good intention
Can behave the way it pleases
So I watched you in the mirror
While you prayed on rusted knees
I carved letters in the top
of every table I could burn
And I left with no intention of return
Oh, we danced down the stairs into hell
And the Devil, he threw roses
One day I will see you again
And the Devil will throw roses
And the Devil will throw roses
And the Devil will throw roses
He'll sing a joyful noise
He'll sing a joyful noise
He'll sing a joyful noise
The Devil and the joyful noise
Oh, we danced down the stairs into hell
And the Devil, he threw roses
One day I will see you again
And the Devil will throw roses
And the Devil will throw roses
And the Devil will throw roses

Tiny Gods

My crooked back
was built for teeth and claws
The bloody wrath
of Tiny Gods
Tear at me, tear at me
Until I'm tame
This is what I was manufactured for
The dirt, the dark, the art of war
Punish me, punish me, until I'm saved
The night is mine, mine, mine
And I will worship as I please
Guide me from this hell of hope
and bind me with your holy rope
Look at me, look at me
I'm nearly there
Cut me with your vicious tongue
Make me taste what I've become
The violence, the violence
The perfect prayer
The night is mine, mine, mine
And I will worship as I please
I will worship as I please
I will worship as I please

Carnival In Harlem

There's a Carnival in Harlem
Where my lady reads her gospel
From a balcony of bones
And I'm on my way to see her
For as long as I'm without here
There will be no such thing as home
Certainly, I agree this feels right
and your invitation tempts me so
Normally, a former me would stay the night
Oh, but there is somewhere I must go
There's a Carnival in Harlem
Where my lady reads her gospel
From a balcony of bones
And I'm on my way to see her
For as long as I'm without here
There will be no such thing as home
Lately I've been half alive and wounded
Ravaged by the wolves and left for dead
Oh, it's true I really hate to do this
But there is somewhere I must go instead
There's a Carnival in Harlem
Where my lady reads her gospel
From a balcony of bones
And I'm on my way to see her
For as long as I'm without here
There will be no such thing as home
She believes in Haunted Things
And tells me I'm a fascinating liar
We believe in Haunted Things
I tell you we're a building on fire
There's a Carnival in Harlem
Where my lady reads her gospel
From a balcony of bones
And I'm on my way to see her
For as long as I'm without here
There will be no such thing as home
There will be no such thing as home
There will be no such thing as home

For Wolves

You are the reason
There isn't religion For Wolves
I haven't been sleeping
I still have this scar on my ribs
Oh they cut the trees down
On the corner where we kissed
And every girl I meet
has got a tattoo on her wrist
You are the reason
November will never be fine
I haven't been sober
for more than a day at time
I keep my company seldom and strange
they wake up cold beside me
In the shadow of your name
You are the reason
There isn't religion For Wolves
You are the reason
There isn't religion
For wolves

Gonna move to the mountains
And grow my hair long
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
Gonna sleep by the lakeside
And speak with the stars
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
Gonna fill up the bathtub
And write you a song
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
I hope that you're happy
Wherever you are
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
I know there's a lady
That you need to be
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
But come find me, kid
When you're ready for me
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
See the days are too long
And the nights are too rough
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
And I can't keep believing
I'm not good enough
Goodbye, Charlie
Goodbye, Charlie
Gonna move to the mountains
And grow my hair long
Goodbye, Charlie my girl
