I've been a drunk I've been around I've been a fool all over this town all of the shiny bits of me I gave them all away for free oooh you can find me in the crowd always the one to buy the next round I’ll wear a smile so you won’t see the void that takes ahold of me oooh oh, how much fun this will be one night turns quickly into three and when they’re looking back at me they’ll say I was young and wild and free oooh

I was never a small child always been too loud followed by this dark cloud and in all my violent swells I guess you could always tell I will never be an ebbing tide so you told me you could never be near me when I frowned, you might drown you might drown so I put on a smile for you and now it’s me drowning Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria drink it down, drink it down oh, now you must never find me I know I cannot stay I’m floating away ‘cause when I look into your eyes my worst fears are realized you see me as some player in a scene well what’s the point of all this misery in lieu of vulnerability, light the match, set me free set me free oh, you tell everybody that I’m so fucking crazy Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria drink it down, drink it down don't be hysterical, girl, this is a man's world don't be hysterical, girl, this is a man's world drink it down, drink it down Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria

Shipwrecked 03:01
don’t take me down to the water I know I’ll simply be pulled under then you will see the truth of me and I may be lost for eternity back on our Audubon smoke and laughter all around three drops of magic in the sea swimming toward serendipity oh, you said that we were gonna be Titans, a merry pack of queens and we believed as you believe when life is green and full of dreams so don’t take me down to the water I know I’ll simply be pulled under then you will see the truth of me and I may be lost for eternity I go back to that gray day phone rang, I drove straight away then we were two, a shipwrecked crew who nearly drowned in the wake of you so don’t take me down to the water I know I’ll simply be pulled under and you will see the truth of me and I may be lost at sea, at sea, at sea
7.
there’s blood in the water my heart fell off my sleeve well don’t come any closer unless you have what I need oooh, oooh can’t see in the water my reflection lies to me I know you’re down there somewhere just waiting for me to bleed oooh, oooh there’s blood in the water my heart fell off my sleeve don’t come any closer unless you have what I need there’s blood in the water the scent of fear draws you near there’s blood in the water I know that’s why you’re here oooh, oooh oooh, oooh
