Locke

It's goin down tonight in this town
cuz they stare & growl
they all stare & growl
i take a soar everytime i cry
cuz it ain't my style, no it ain't my style
goin down to the gravel head to the barrel
take this life & end this struggle
los Angeles, come scam me please
emptiness never sleeps at Clifton's 6 AM
with your bag lady friend and your mind descending
stripped of the right to be a human in control
it's warmer in hell so down we go.
They say this is the city
the city of angels all i see is dead wings (2x)

It's a ghost town rabid underworld
dionysian night vitriolic twilight
a mirage comes up it never ends
once you get burnt your never the same
left behind erased from time
ain't no decency in being boxed up alive
look around ain't no RIP signs here
we don't rest in peace, we just disappear
so here we are los Angeles
no angels singin in your valley of unease
i watch the sun roll down the pacific over hookered sun set strip

They say this is the city
the city of angels all i see is dead wings (2x)

There's a black moon tonight, ain't shinning down on the western neon lights
There's a black moon tonight, ain't shinning down on the western neon lights

They say this is the city
the city of angels all i see is dead wings (2x)
They say this is the city
the city of angels all i see is dead wings (2x)

are u ready to be liberated on this sad side city street
well the birds have been freed from their cages
i got freedom in my youth
my name is brody i'm from melbourne, fitzroy, melbourne(2x)
i grew up on bell street then on bennett st
my mum kicked out my dad for battery
she found a way (3x)
out of spiritual penury
workin single mother in an urban struggle
blames herself now cuz i grew up troubled
it hit me, i got everything i need(2x)
my 1 heart felt too much from the start
seen people come & go livin large & livin low
you can build up your walls sittin on death row
let the curtain fall on your murdered soul
you can wash it all down swallow your story
get smacked off your head without a drum roll for you
u won't solve it commiting self inflicted crime
go on pull the trigger this will be the last time
it hit me, i got everything i need
i speak of the truth
two dollar whore
like a desperate thirst in a raging drought
hey youth, time flies by
there's an ever lasting battle for eternal life
i love a man from california he is the prettiest thing
we got the same disorder
the way u feel is OK it's never gonna change anyway...
it hit me, i got everyone i need.(3x)

Now what do you want from me?
When I've sacrificed my heart so you can be set free
And time will never cure this disease
I'm only left with tired arms to stop from drowning

This is loveless
Your love is hopeless

Do you remember
On that night I couldn't find the words to say I'm sorry
If you recall that night you ripped my heart right out
Before saying I loved you Do you believe in this
Do you believe in me
If you believe in love
Would you believe in me

So what will you take from me
I'm the man without a soul a soul for you to seek
And time will never cure your disease
I'm only left with
Tired arms to stop from drowning.

This, This is loveless
Love, Your love is hopeless

Do you remember
On that night I couldn't find the words to say I'm sorry
If you recall that night you ripped my heart right out
Before saying I loved you
Do you believe in this
Do you believe in me
If you believed in love
Would you believe in me

Believe in me
I've emptied my soul
Believe in me
I've killed this disease now
Time to shatter your heart
Bring you to your knees
I've found the strength to fight on
And stop the bleeding

And I stop the bleeding

Do you remember
On that night I couldn't find the words to say I'm sorry
If you recall that night you ripped my heart right out
Before saying I loved you
Do you believe in this
Do you believe in me
If you believed in love
You're killing, you're not the same to me now
Got to kill to believe

I will always feel. And I will always care
I wish she was my enemy
But I'm still waiting here for her to hold my hand
For her to steal my breath
For her to pick up the pieces of promises never kept
She moves in slow motion.
Sonically as the rain.

As the rain falls down.
Everything is still as she moves to me.
Stands still.
Maybe I'll do better on my own
Why does everything disappear?
When all I see is you alone...

And her love moves slowly
This time now I'm dying for you to call my name
I'm waiting. Still Fading
So tell me I'm not alone
I'm still waiting
I'm still fighting

Wake me from this sleep
So I can begin living
Or give me the solution
So I can start dying
Will I start living, or start dying?
Maybe I'll do better on my own
Why does everything disappear
When all I see is you alone
And her love moves slowly
This time now I'm dying for you to call my name
I'm waiting. Still fading
So tell me I'm not alone...
