A lionbite, in her side
A sharkbite
In her arm, she lives in her car
And I don't know why
Everyone is alone, not everyone manages to share that
With another lonely soul, how do I break myself of believing in love
This is the best that I can be
When the air is thick with intrigue
I will sin like a cardinal
confession sounds like confetti to me
We're all on soft tricks
Honey, I'm goooone
A dogbite, by her side
I feel alright
In her arms, she doesn't own a car
And I do know why
Being in love is doing things against your will
With great pleasure
The problem is not that I want to hurt you
The problem is my self-destructive side

And if God is so loaded
I'll treat my wounds myself
To each his own poison
I'll fuel my tongue again
But I'm not thirsty at all
And if you're in a tailspin
Just carry on
On the edge of passing out
And His steady hands tremble
So I'll treat my wounds myself
To each his own poison
I'll fuel my tongue again
On the edge of passing out
Here is something to
Worry about
Don't worry about
Make something happen this time
Put your own death into perspective
Make something happen
All year long, all year long
Here is something to
Worry about
Don't worry about

Days may have lost their names over time
Many happinesses ago
Days may have lost their names over time
Many sadnesses ago
It's you and I
In this house of bad news
Bruised and black eyed
It's you and I
Sleeping under hospital lights again
I have your dry hands
Trying to gather as much as you can
In your mind and in your recollection
But you have nothing left
It's you and I
In this house of bad news
Bruised and black eyed
It's you and I
I forgive you, I forgive you

Birds never fly over
But always around her, 'round here
She's so afraid of the noises
Coming from the hall, coming from next door
Downhill's always faster
Than going uphill again
Won't turn her fall into
A somersault, she's losing it
She's slowly losing it until
'till everything explodes, everything will explode
Downhill's always faster
Than going uphill again
She's been dead before
Gives her life meaning
You didn't hear the sirens, well that's when it's for you
Tended to worry when there was nothing to worry about
Never go back, never go back
She'll never, she'll never
She will never go back

Everything will get better soon
I heard them say you never stood a chance
All they know is that you don't belong there
Fair to say I never cared enough
This was more than one of you depressive fits
A tortured soul speaks through the body
Eventually you'll get out of bed
You're still you and you are who you are
A bad news collector but at least you're true
Have you become the person you hate?
She'll break down again
She's alone
It's no one's birthday and it just hasn't been your day
It ain't your week, your month
It just ain't your year, your life
There is always more misery in the hollow depths
Than compassion in the heights
There's no compassion here
She'll break down again
She's alone
If you break down than I will fix you

You were the dark covering the sun for me
I never knew you so gentle as you are now
Your violence made everything else disappear
But now you've seem to have shaken it off, but how
You've said that you'll harm yourself
We're all made out of layers you said, like me
You've said that you'll hang yourself
But a schizophrenic is never alone
Never knew that I would say this but…
I will be your helping hand
Your shoulder and a shelter in dark days
You are who you are
Much to your disappointment
But at least you're honest
I'll go with all your stories
However incoherent
When dad was here and wrote your name on your arm
Then I'll live with it
Did you find the cure or did the cure find
When I see a happy family
It still makes me sick
Never knew that I would say this but…
I will be your helping hand
Your shoulder and a shelter in dark days
Soon you'll wake up in your
You'll wake up in you own bed

This time, loneliness won't stick to my sheets
Because love and hate
Come from the same gland and all those love songs, I meant them when I wrote them
Going in circles compassionate, trying and angry
Is a confessed lie still a lie?
Turn around, walk away
That's how I say goodbye to everyone, just turning around
It's time to get this horse to the barn
The truth casts doubt and questions, only a lie
Tells us exactly what we want to hear
I'm not trying to pick up the pieces on time
I'm not trying to fix this on time
You'll break my legs
I'll break your heart every fucking time
I saw the writing on the wall

And we will all fizzle out again
Just standing here in line
Bury all the things you had in mind
I bet they'll never come back this time
And I will rub my eyes until
The colors come, how bright they are
And we will all fizzle out again
At least we still know how to wake up
And after this, there is nothing
And I really hope that I am wrong
Are we alright?
And why should we start a war again
Over things we can't touch
Ban the unbelievable out of your mind
We won't believe in it this time
And as we all stood there, so still
Those silent words, how bright they were
And we will all fizzle out again
At least we still know how to wake up
Forgotten before it comes to an end
And this will happen all over again
And if they don't want to be friends
Than you can always come home again
And I will try to understand
What is was you had in mind
Just tell me everything they said
Forgotten, but finally over

"Indie rock sounds best when played unscrupulously and deafeningly loud. The Geraldines does just that. Adding to the mix some punk and high-pitched vocals, they sound like Dinosaur Jr. meeting Sonic Youth & Clap Your Hands Say Yeah."
