 American Noir-Creeper EP

Midnight Militia

I had a dream last night, I was in a field at dusk. The stars hung above my head, like convicted felons already dead. Time stood still for me, under the midnight militia. If I closed my eyes, I might've almost felt human. I was caught up in the pageantry of the night, dreaming of resurrection. Dreaming of you, of angels and devils. Of your voice from afar. Speaking wake up, wake up. Return to me, my American noir. 

Midnight

As the sun descends over fields of snow, I feel contained under your control. In your black lipstick and the soul you stole. Girl, give in, let desire take. Oh, boy, don't you look at me that way. Wont you hold me in your arms when they look away? (Come on, I'm ready, I'm ready, come on, I'm ready) Because midnight belongs to you and me, baby. In the bedroom, in the dark right next to me. And every time we touch, I fall apart. And you taste so sweet for such a bitter heart, such a bitter heart. As the moon ascends we're lying low, we're set ablaze in the winter cold. No heaven above and no hell below, in the purgatory of your arms now. Oh, girl, there's magic in the way. The satanic midnight moon can hear us say, (come on, I'm ready, I'm ready, come on, I'm ready) Because midnight belongs to you and me, baby. In the bedroom, in the dark right next to me. And every time we touch, I fall apart. And you taste so sweet for such a bitter heart, such a bitter heart. So hold me like a gun with the safety off, squeeze the handle firm and the trigger soft. All the stars will die, the oceans will melt. So take me now while the gods can't hear us, God can't hear us, God can't hear us. Come on, baby. Take me now while the gods can't hear us. Because midnight belongs to you and me, baby. (belongs to you) In the bedroom, in the dark right next to me (in the bedroom, in the dark) And every time we touch I fall apart (I fall apart) And you taste so sweet for such a bitter heart, such a bitter heart. 

America At Night

America at night, under halogen light. We fall out of youth, and we love out of spite. She's coca-cola red, and I'm pepsi-cola blue. In the land of the free, I'm a prisoner for you. Melt into me, white and blue and red. We'll live until we're twenty five. For fifty more we're dead, fear for nothing. Love is bought and sold, I never knew the golden state. Could ever feel so cold, here comes the dark. Oh, here comes the dark. There's a hold in my heart, and here comes the dark. America at night, hiding from the light. Of the golden arches, as the pale horse appears. But she swings to the beat, and she sweats through my sheets. When the sunrise gets in, even vampires can't sleep, oh. Here comes the dark, oh here comes the dark. There's a hole in my heart, and here comes the dark. Here comes the dark, oh here comes the dark. There's a hole in my heart, and here comes the dark. 

Ghosts Over Calvary

The moon hangs over gallows, your breathing is shallow. Under the midnight pouring rain, black magic in silence. A kiss in defiance, a violence of just speaking your name. In the wood by the churchyard, we run with the devil. The steeple looks down on us in vain, despair and desire. Thrown into the fire, the secret of our tragedy. Give into me, cause I got evil. Running through my veins. Hurt me, but I don't feel the pain. Crash-bounded in roses, removing your clothes. As I'm pressing my lips against your lips, the angels are falling. The choir is calling, heaven could never taste like this. The candles are burning, familiar yearning. Young and in love but damned and doomed, lost in the darkness. They're coming close, guess I was born to die with you. Give into me, cause I got evil running through my veins. Hurt me, but I don't feel the pain. Evil, running through my veins. Hurt me, but I don't feel the pain. So take my hand in the darkness, to embrace the night as it falls. Heaven welcomes you and me, love. Because all the prettiest boys and girls flirt with death. Cause I got evil, cause I got evil. Running through my veins, hurt me. But I don't feel the pain (I don't feel the pain) Evil, running through my veins. (running through my veins) Hurt me, but I don't feel the pain (I don't feel the pain) 

One Of Us

Girl, when you showed up here. There was no blood left to drain, we were born for dying here. Like snow under the rain, you know when they find us here. They'll kill us both the same, so for the final time. Put your hand in mine and I'll kiss away the pain, born the shadows to die in the dust. Not like the others, you're one of us. No, I don't sleep no more. When I did, I dreamed of you. Now the devil's at your door, and there's a darkness seeping through. So pretty like a dying flower, in your tight velvet clothes. So tragic in the final hour, as the sun descends over fields of verdant snow. Born in the shadows, to die in the dust. Not like the others, you're one of us. You're one of us, you're one of us, you're one of us, you're one of us, you're one of us, you're one of us. Born in the shadows, to die in the dust. Not like the others, you're one of us. 

Damned and Doomed

Let me hold your hand as the world burns, kiss your lip as it ends. Fumble with your belt as the ice caps melt, all the prettiest boys and girls flirt with death. I was born to die with you, young and in love but damned and doomed. My love, the end is coming soon. My love, the end is coming soon. So kiss me in the way you do, can we dance on the edge of forever? Die like stars in the night? Make out with me tonight, too young to love, to fall apart. I was born to die with you, young and in love but damned and doomed. My love, the end is coming soon. So kiss me in the way you do.
