Stranger On A Bus

Forget my name
and the places from whence I came
For the rest of my days and all the blood in my veins
Will run out with all my loneliness and shame
Choke on your words
And comfort me when it hurts
For better or for worse, to live my life with a curse
And to wander like a spectre on this earth
Come to my room let us stay in my bed
Don’t tell me things I don’t want to hear
Sing me to sleep, be my angel dust
And I’ll just be a stranger on a bus
Gouge out my eyes
Play with me for a while
Tell all your friends how your love made me blind
And I will leave you, If i ever find a spine
Swallow me whole
Barge in on me like a cold
But don’t fall in love with me, i wouldn’t know
How to love you without hurting you so
I am afraid and I’m constantly sick
I think I’m the world’s saddest Romeo
So kiss me again, slit my throat if you must
And I’ll just be a stranger on a bus
Let’s stay up too late and wander too far
We don’t have to make any promises
I want you to see I’m not one to trust
Some day I’ll just be a stranger on a bus
You came tumbling in
And wrapped yourself in my skin
I died for your sins and you called me your prince
Then I woke up from my dreams of diamond rings

I shaved off my beard on the day that you left
Hoping you would see me like i was when we met
The winter took the best of me and closed all my doors
I know you think you’re fine but I won’t let it close yours
I remember you coming home to me wishing you were dead
You took off your dress and then you cried in my bed
Your tired eyes, restless heart and lungs filled with tar
Felt so awake as you slept in my arms
Emelie it’s been a long night and I’m longing for you to take me home
I’ll give you my heart and what’s left of my soul
If you promise to never grow old
Anxiety has crippled me and turned me into a mess
I wake up every morning with an ache in my chest
I know It didn’t work out and I know it never will
But it was the first thing in a long time that really made me feel
So, honey grab your coat, we’re leaving now
I don’t know where we’re going but I can’t stand this crowd
And I don’t need you to love me, maybe it’s to much to ask
But dear, I need someone to hold me oh god I need one last chance
Emelie it’s been a rough year and the nightmares still keep me awake
I know you wanted more than just a kiss in the rain
And I’m sorry, I have nothing to say
Oh oh oh oh
I know you don’t deserve this
And you know I don’t belong here
And maybe our lives will be better
After us
Emelie this pain won’t go away and I think I might die here tonight
Been sitting here for weeks watching rain turn to snow
And I think I have to let you go

I thought I knew that look
You ripped my heart out with your teeth last night and watched the blood flow
Sometimes I don’t know where to go, and then I run to you again
I hear you talking with your friends and you say he’s actually not that bad
He’s just a little out of touch with things well, sometimes he’s too much
And then I run back to my old home drinking beer and telling lies just to get you off my mind
Now romance is dead
And I killed it with my bare hands
Oh how I’d love to see you dance but not with me
Because you see, love I’m faded, dull and bleak
Just like the freckles on your cheek
You thought you knew my ways
you called me up and I asked you what happened to
Loving for the sake of being held and not for planning our lives together, will you be my wife?
No I don’t think that’s what I want I just want you to call me yours for a while until you get bored
And realise I’m full of shit and I have nothing more to give than my brittle bones and hardened skin
Now romance is dead
And I killed it with my bare hands
Oh how I’d love to see you dance but not with me
Because you see, love I’m tainted, dull and bleak
Just like the freckles on your cheek

No Love

Princess, take your shoes off, let us hate ourselves just once more
Run your fingers through my hair and leave me breathless
Your perfume reeks of fear and bottled tears
Your eyelids flicker telling me no darling please, I don’t want you to leave
I used my Jedi mind tricks on your sweet face
Last december was a mess, I couldn’t eat
And I blame myself
I heard you moved to Oslo, found someone new
And he loves you more than I could ever do
I hope it’s true
Please do not forget me
I’m already alone
Stitch me back together
Maybe i’ll someday be whole
So long my dear, so long my dear
It’s been so long my dear, since my eyes were clear
It’s been a while since someone said
Oh David, cry you heart out in my arms
I’ll swallow every broken promise
Press my lips against your scars
You were drunk and I was lonely
We could have killed for something holy
And for that night to never end
Oh sweetheart I can not pretend like I’m alright
But I won’t bite
Please do forgive me
I’m already alone
Stitch me back together
Don’t think i’ll ever be whole
So long my dear, so long my dear
It’s been so long my dear, since my eyes were clear
