THE LINE by Annabel Asher & Charlie Kilgore

VERSE 1:

get a load of this guy

way below the standard

cookie cutter manhood

in a little low light

we could be a scandal

catch it on the camera

PRE-CHORUS:

string me along i kind of like it

strip me down on the carpet

keep your grip loose or you’ll break it

crack in the pavement

CHORUS:

show me

where’s the line?

you cross it every time like i don’t mind

i keep on drawing new ones are you blind

i’d kill you if you weren’t so fucking fine

so show me where’s the line

where’s the line

where’s the line

VERSE 2:

if i never met you

i would win an egot

guy could find the g spot

wish i never let you

dirty up my dm

fake a deeper meaning

PRE-CHORUS:

kick me out that’s atrocious

you are your one and only focus

keep your grip loose or you shatter it

for you it never mattered

CHORUS:

show me

where’s the line

you cross it every time like i don’t mind

i keep on drawing new ones are you blind

i’d kill you if you weren’t so fucking fine

so show me where’s the line

where’s the line

where’s the line

TURNS TO RED by Annabel Asher

VERSE 1:

You put your cigarette down

i tell you there’s no sugar left now

You’re sighing

into your hands

I’m sorry for letting you down

surprised you haven’t left by now

i’m useless

at least I got a man

we cancel the dinner party

another fight

another sorry

when will we face this bitter end?

CHORUS:

you don’t know me

you never did

you fell in love

with the movie posters

hanging above your bed

you don’t owe me

but you’re indebted

and now when i think of you

my vision turns to red

VERSE 2:

and i feel like an island

always sliding by

cause you prefer to keep me

alone and afraid 

sticking ‘round despite myself

I know you don’t have anyone else

I pity you

so I stay

CHORUS:

you don’t know me

you never did

you fell in love

with the porn that you

discovered as a kid

you don’t own me

but you’re embedded

and now when i think of you

my vision turns to red

BRIDGE:

your hands are sand dissolving

prices rising houses falling

it’s not solving shit to see your face

how much for a giveaway   

I hate how you operate

you made me medicate

And nothings gonna change

CHORUS:

you don’t know me

you never did

I fell in love

with a moment and a life i’ve yet to live

you don’t own me

but you’re embedded

and now when I think of you

I feel a part of me is dead

DEEPEST DARKEST

VERSE 1:

you take me under with your steely charade

i’m overcome with words

I don’t have too much to say

and I fight like a brigade but

your eyes felt so right

baby we owned the night

you would’ve loved the way I dance

CHORUS:

love me

I make it so easy

darling you can have me

you are my deepest darkest

VERSE 2:

and I wake up with a lightness of heart

I don’t care what you do

I would rather be apart

but we both know that’s a lie

i’ll still watch your stories

listen to your new releases

beat this memory to death

CHORUS:

love me

I make it so easy

darling you can have me

you are my deepest darkest

love me

you’re not making this easy

torture when you leave me

OUTRO:

and this part’s the hardest

you don’t finish what you started

you left me broken hearted

you are my deepest darkest

555 by Annabel Asher and Charlie Kilgore

VERSE 1:

I tally every time you leap in front of my train of thought

I see your face in every windowpane on my monthly walk

I drew up detailed plans to steal your shit and wear it thin

now let me in

you never look at me cause you’re too scared of what you might do

you scream my name when you fuck all the ones you compare me to

you hired a flock of birds to watch me and report my every move

and that’s just so you

CHORUS:

I see signs

that say you’re mine

555

make me lose control of my mind

lose control of my mind

VERSE 2:

rock bottom of the body pile

shoot hot spit crunch bone

I couldn’t reconcile

laying on the tile

you gave five inches and you took a mile

you can’t just flee the scene

chug Listerine

the blood is on my sheets

my hands are clean

CHORUS:

I see signs

that say you’re mine

555

make me lose control of my mind

lose control of my mind

I see signs

that say you’re mine

555

make me lose control of my mind

lose control of my mind

MARSHMALLOW

break up with reality

be my guest in my fantasy

my treat

say words you dont have to mean

be my upper i dont wanna sleep

i mean

i need you

I don’t want a normal life

their faces all look the same

I wanna go buck wild with you

on your white sofa spattered with the stains

old fling wants a second chance

bite my cheek when you ask to dance

I guess

I let you

can’t say so i’m censoring

cold hands as you’re entering

I guess

you get to

I don’t want a normal life

I don’t want all the mundane

I wanna get fucked up with you

i’m a marshmallow swallowed in the flame

I wanna say goodbye

sever all my earthly ties

scoop me in your godless hands

raise me to the sky

and when the kingdom lets me in

and I know they will

I will kneel in worship

then i’ll go in for the kill

EXPAT

you were never kind

to your children

to the butler

to your wife

you hold the key

to every castle

even you

dont know why

half alive

and a half century behind

going batshit going blind

you can’t even lie this time

nowhere you can go to save you from your manmade misery

you know what i mean

you know what i mean

theres nowhere you can go to save you from the things you did to me

you know what i mean

you know what i mean

no more going into hiding

in the east wing of your estate

no more screening room crying

as you break your sober streak

you were one day silent

and you couldn’t help but scream

your room’s an asylum

and the poolhouse reeks of weed

half alive

and a half century behind

going batshit going blind

you can’t even lie this time

nowhere you can go to save you from your manmade misery

you know what i mean

you know what i mean

theres nowhere you can go to save you from the things you did to me

you know what i mean

you know what i mean
