The Boy Who Could Fly Lyrics
[Intro]
Freeze!
[Verse 1]
It's time to take you home
It feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door
Now our lips are numb as we walk sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer
I hope you like the stars I stole for you
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue
I'll be the brightest someday
I'll be the brightest someday
I'll be the brightest, you'll see
[Chorus]
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun
[Verse 2]
(Now as the rain)
Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky
We bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways
And I ask myself, why do I still pray?
When will it end? And who fucking cares?
I swear to God, I did what I could
I practically begged you
I pretended everything was fine
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare
I'd rather be dead
[Chorus]
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing (Oh), a perfect thing (Oh)
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head
[Verse 3]
I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom
You barely started drinking, but your beauty never stopped you
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea
I guess I never should've loved you
But I do forever 'cause you loved me
And I break my glasses as I fall in the street
If you were gonna leave this world, how could it be without me?
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste
'Cause without you there is no me
[Bridge]
There's no me at all
Sometimes love (Sometimes love)
Love dies like (Love dies like)
Dies like a (Dies like a)
Love dies like a dog (Like a dog, like a dog)
(So, why don't we just let this one take care of itself?)
[Chorus]
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing (Oh), a perfect thing (Oh)
The boy on the blue moon dreams
[Outro]
Don't rain on my parade, woah, no
I'm losing a perfect thing (Oh), a perfect thing (Oh)
A perfect thing
Caraphernelia Lyrics
[Verse 1: Vic Fuentes]
Sunshine
There ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night
(But there's just something about)
This dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy
Licking your fingers like you're done and
You've decided there is so much more than me (oh)
And baby, honestly, it's harder breathing next to you, I shake
I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me
Hold my heart, it's beating for you anyway
[Chorus: Jeremy McKinnon & Vic Fuentes]
What if I can't forget you? (Oh)
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole
Oh
[Verse 2: Vic Fuentes]
Nobody prays for the heartless (No)
Nobody gives another penny for the selfish
(You're learning how to taste what you kill now)
Don't mind me, I'm just reaching for your necklace
Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas
[Chorus: Jeremy McKinnon & Vic Fuentes]
What if I can't forget you? (Oh)
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole
[Post-Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Jeremy McKinnon]
Just give her back to me
You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need
So baby what if I can't forget you? (What if I can't forget you?)
Collide invisible lips like a shadow on the wall
And just throw, oh no
You can't just throw me away
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Vic Fuentes]
So what if I can't forget you?
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
And what's so good about picking up the pieces?
What if I don't even want to?
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus: Jeremy McKinnon & Vic Fuentes]
What if I can't forget you?
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole
[Post-Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Jeremy McKinnon]
Just give her back to me
You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need
So baby what if I can't forget you? (What if I can't forget you?)
I'd better learn to live alone
[Outro: Vic Fuentes]
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
What's so good about
What's so good about
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
I Don’t Care If You’re Contagious Lyrics
[Verse 1: Vic Fuentes]
Bury me in the bedroom where I, I can sing you to sleep all night
Put me next to the open window, promise me a second time
Cause I don't wanna leave without you buried by my side
I'd rather kill the one responsible for falling stars at night
Cause they fall all around me
The night can be deadly
[Chorus: Vic Fuentes, and Vanessa Harris]
And they'll never take us alive
(Can you chase away the darkness?)
To live and love and die
Last night she recited every reason she's fine
So if we're heading there together at the same time
You sing while I drive
[Verse 2]
Move like a fugitive tonight
Dance on the ambulance
Cause I'd rather spend my life, vacations
In bed with you like drunken summer kites
And this is only a test
Sober and scaring me to death
[Chorus: Vic Fuentes, and Vanessa Harris]
They'll never take us alive
(Can you chase away the darkness)
To live in love and die
[Bridge]
And I don't care if you're sick
I don't care if you're contagious
I would kiss you even if you were dead
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life
Cause I'd do anything to hold your hand
And I don't care if you're sick
I don't care if you're contagious, oh no
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life
Cause I'd do anything, anything, anything
[Chorus: Vic Fuentes]
They'll never take us alive
Cause I'll chase away the darkness
I'll live, and love, and die
I join the party for the recently blind
So if we're heading there together you can sing all night
[Outro: Vic Fuentes]
I'm gonna tear out the thread one by one from your skin
Till your bones feel embarrassed from all the attention
Kiss me while I drive
