* OPEN YOUR ESCAPE *

CURIOSITY AND APPREHENSION
STRUNG TOGETHER IN A NERVOUS KNOT
COOL FLAME CALAMITY WARM DIPPED SANITY
SLUNG TOGETHER IN A PEPPERMINT SHOT

WITH HER FACE IN MY HAND MY VANITY SOARED
AND I SWORE I WOULD TASTE EVERYTHING
THEN MY VEINS RECEDED LIKE ROADMAP BONFIRE
AND MY FETAL IMPULSE SANG

COME DOWN

WASTING SAND BURNING MULTIPLE WHORES
INSIDE MY ANTICIPATION
I DON'T NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND ME
OR MY RAGGED JIGSAW PERSONALITY

CALL IT ARTIFICIAL PARADISE
GIVE IT WHATEVER MASK YOU LIKE
I CAN'T DELIVER IF I'M TOO AFRAID TO TRY
MISERY BRINGS WORDS TO LIFE

COME DOWN

HOLD ON WITH A SOILED FAITH
KEEPER OF OUR FAVORITE SUN - OPEN YOUR ESCAPE
