lyrics

Oh, your life
is a tidal wave
and mineʼs a splintering home.

Letʼs go to Miami
and uproot our troubles
with hurricanes...
with hurricanes.
Letʼs go.

Who needs doors
and windows anyway?
You always see through me

like Iʼm naked,
or lacquered in shame. Or
like Iʼm wearing my skin inside-out.

So letʼs go to Miami
and uproot our troubles
with hurricanes...
hurricanes.

Letʼs go to Miami
and uproot our troubles
with hurricanes...
with hurricanes.

Iʼm a Hellraiser.
Momma gave birth to a natural disaster.
Iʼm a cantankerous archangel
bottling defiant souls.
I keep your essence confined
in an air tight Holy Grail.
One of these days
Iʼm going to punch a hole in your chest
and free your blood

from its repetitious route.
My jailbar ribs
keep our hearts from colliding.

Letʼs go
to Miami
and uproot our troubles
with open arteries...
open arteries.
Letʼs go.

Death by collision
is such a cliché.
Instead letʼs drain our futile pain.
