Manic Pixie - Ludo Club

Ya boy here was balls deep in her suicidal depression When our manic states aligned and the rest of the world was lessened As we spent our years out pining not alive but still not dying Trying just to stay afloat I left her text unread for 3 days and then she wrote I'm sorry, I'm in the hospital, I failed once more I took a bunch of pills but they found me barely breathing on the floor I know I said I wouldn't do it I'm sorry that I put you through It's an embarrassment to be me Technically alive but dude I'm a fucking zombie Spun sideways Friday's. Untied and fried says "I wanna dye my hair red with my head's contents" Are permanently stained black and dark With each passing year that I embark on this escapade of loneliness This anhedonius bliss I live in is just fine

Burning ash felt so right Pleasing neck grip, yet tight When i caught your eerie flame It flashed inside, cut me apart Your bright shine is hard to blame Chant of pity needs restart Bits of me you put inside They've carved out weird flat design Found me where no one could find Bits of me you planted... why? Shadows turned their back tonight Your blessing is dreadful mind Old self tells me, "run and hide" New's lucky enough to die Burning ash felt so right Pleasing neck grip, yet tight Burning ash felt so right Pleasing neck grip, yet tight

Love me cancerously Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea High maintenance means You're a gluttonous queen Narcissistic and mean Kill me romantically Fill my soul with vomit Then ask me for a piece of gum Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum You're awful, I love you She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed Must be the sign on my head It says, "Oh, love me dead" Love me dead You're a faith-healer on TV You're an office park without any trees Corporate and cold Gushing for gold Leave me alone You suck so passionately You're a parasitic psycho, filthy creature Finger-bangin' my heart You call me up drunk Does the fun ever start? You're hideous and sexy She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed It must be the sign on my head It says, "Oh, love me dead" Love me dead, oh! Love me cancerously How's your new boy? Does he know about me? You've got the mark of the beast You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful! She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed What about the sign on my head? It says, "Oh, love me dead" Love me dead Love me dead Love me dead Oh, love me dead

I'm a killer, cold and wrathful Silent sleeper, I've been inside your bedroom I've murdered half the town Left you love-notes on their headstones I'll fill the graveyards until I have you Moonlight walking, I smell your softness Carnivorous and lusting to track you down among the pines I want you stuffed into my mouth Hold you down and tear you open, live inside you, love I'd never hurt you But I'll grind against your bones until our marrows mix I will eat you slowly... Oh, the horror of our love Never so much blood pulled through my veins Oh, the horror of our love... never so much blood I wake in terror, blackbirds screaming Dark cathedrals spilling midnight on their altars I'm your servant, my immortal Pale and perfect, such unholy heaving The statues close their eyes, the room is changing Break my skin and drain me Ancient language, speak through fingers The awful edges where you end and I begin Inside your mouth I cannot see There's catastrophe in everything I'm touching As I sweat and crush you And I hold your beating chambers until they beat no more You die like angels sing... Oh, the horror of our love Never so much blood pulled through my veins Oh, the horror of our love... never so much blood You're a ghost love, nightgown flowing Your body blue and walking along the continental shelf You are a dream among the sharks Beautiful and terrifying, lit and restless We dance in dark suspension And you bury me in the ocean floor beneath you Where they'll never hear us scream... Oh, the horror of our love Never so much blood pulled through my veins Oh, the horror of our love... never so much blood

I'll tell it like it happened, it was Darius and Noland and me Just a few po' boys trying to get up outta Missouri Took 55 to Louisiana, stopped by the highway to eat They both had crawfish, strictly chicken for me Back out under thunderheads, the radio was Southern soul They interrupted Clarence Carter with a strange-ass local show They were sayin': "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain Rest your soul and feed your brain That's where you will get to see everything the water can be" The rain was comin' down, the wind was howlin' outside of Slidell It was the kinda night that makes you think the whole world's goin' to hell We got off on an exit 'cause we couldn't read the map so great Near the Choctaw Motel, we parked to deliberate When out of the bayou came a man like the lake had a tongue He was right up on the glass, all yellow-eyed, black teeth, bangin' on the windshield Screamin' like a demon at the top of his lungs: "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain Rest your soul and feed your brain Free for you and all your friends, crawfish 'til the bitter end Come down to Lake Pontchartrain Wade to where the shallows break That's where you will get to see everything the water can be" I was driving out of there as fast as a Camry could But the interstate was flooded and I had to take the road through the woods Bad move in retrospect, the road disappeared in the rain And I stood on the brakes when I saw the sign: "Lake Pontchartrain..." Darius was yelling that he saw somebody out in the swells He jumped out runnin' and Noland was goin' as well "Come back!" Why the hell would they leave the car? And that's when I heard it, make no mistake - The voices were calling them from under the lake: "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain... Come down to Lake Pontchartrain... Come down to Lake Pontchartrain... Come down to Lake Pontchartrain..." The crawfish were screaming, the waves danced in time My friends went in deeper, the water, it climbed I watched in terror, the lake opened wide And horribly roaring, it pulled them inside That's how it happened, why would I lie? There were no bodies, I've got none to hide I'm just a boy, lost his friends in the rain Any more questions, just go and ask Lake Pontchartrain
