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
