Turning Into Something You Were Never Meant To Be

by Lovedrug

supported by

Timm Spinn Wow! Easily one of the best Lovedrug albums ever. I may always be partial to Pretend You're Alive for nostalgic reasons, but this album is gorgeous and packed with amazing melodies. Favorite track: Star Man.

1.	Bully Catcher 02:58	lyrics	buy track
Does anyone sparkle? Cries the wolf How many heroes will die I see a bully stepping on a mine He’s throwing arms to the sky I will never worship you Hold your breath, turn black and blue Look around you know it’s true Karma’s catching up with you I swear the wolf’s got A heart of gold Clicking nails down the chute I’ve got a bully catcher Lo behold There lies a toll for abuse
2.	Vultures 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Soup’s on, there’s a mess in the road Says the shape in the sky You rolled down the capitol hill and now They’re gonna eat you alive Everybody’s gotta eat Everybody’s gotta sleep at night Everybody’s gotta kill, destroy, devour There are vultures in the tower Trap’s set and it ain’t looking good As you claw through the sand Torn apart as you reach for the flag I know, they said they’d help you out They said they’d give you a hand Everybody’s gotta eat Everybody’s gotta sleep at night Everybody’s gotta kill, destroy, devour There are vultures in the tower Don’t come around Shoo, don’t come around
3.	Head Noise (Heart of Magic) 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Head storms, got a runner Head storms, got a runner I gotta sit down I wait it out in a field Under the moon Heart noise, heart of magic Head noise, If i don’t leave you here I’ll never get out I wait it out in a field Under the moon I wait it out in a field Under the moon
4.	Black Wave 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Sad song, I kinda hate the blues But anyway Strung along I didn’t love you anymore But anyway I’d like to have a conversation With my younger self and say, black wave (2x) I’d like to have the inclination That I might float away, black wave What’s it mean? I think you’d find it kinda Hard to understand Dark times are kinda funny if you learn to laugh at the ride, yeah
5.	Crawl 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Do you crawl out every morning Every crinkle in the life force Is a warning In your darkest time of violence There’s a smile Does your heart betray your mind Is it wrong to gag and bind Every little thought that stands up like a sign Your bags are packed this time In your darkest time of violence There’s a smile
6.	Snake Eyes 02:58	lyrics	buy track
This should be no surprise You’re already on your back There is only one thing left now That can keep you alive No money in your pockets They see you eye the door Everything is clearer With a switchblade at your throat There’s hunger in your eyes I can see you weigh the world There’s a picture in your head Of how it’s gonna be This should be no surprise You’re already on your back There is only one thing left now That can keep you alive… Snake eyes
7.	Doll 03:23	lyrics	buy track
Dare I look inside, shine a little light Where the demons hide No bones, hollow head Forget the heart, put a voice instead I’ll say what you say Repeat the words, it is better that way No soul, push me aside I’ll be right here when your other friends die Doll eyes don’t shine Shine on me doll shine Shine on me doll shine Doll eyes don’t cry Cry on me doll cry Cry on me doll cry Days crawl, shedding skin Running out of things to dress up in Sunlight, melted gum Sticking around when I don’t want none Shake out the broken glass From other play times and other times past No fun, big surprise I am the doll with the big dumb eyes
8.	Washed Out 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Four decades old and my back is giving out They make a pill for depression Four decades old and I really wanna know What you thought of my confession Am I washed up or just washed out Am I washed up or just washed out Am I happy? I have my doubts Am I washed up or just washed out I realize that my youth is a disguise Now I’m making deals with the crows I want my wings and I’m tired of singing About stupid shit that kids think they know
9.	Zombie Apocalypse Rock Concert 04:00	lyrics	buy track
The crowd turned out They’re screaming my name I hope I got what it takes babe This shit is insane Now hit the lights And watch it all glow I feel your hand touch mine And baby that’s why I know I get the feeling, I get the feeling I get the feeling that you’re in my veins I get the feeling, I get the feeling I get the feeling that you’ll eat my brains Won’t let you down, I will be something But right now I got my hands in the air Won’t let you down, I will be something But right now I just don’t care Don’t think twice Just let it all go There are no refunds in the Flesh fun business of show
10.	Dead or Alive (I'm On Your Side) 02:58	lyrics	buy track
Bats fly, helium wing Dark sky cover the ground We should leave soon If you want to Snow fall at the edge of the world Frozen hands, warm hearted Will you hold me If I ask you to Bound to survive Dead or alive Trapped in the ice I’m on your side It’s not like we’re over the moon More like… marooned We would leave soon If we could Razor’s edge of the world Permanently departed But at least we’ve got e, got each other
11.	Witch 03:58	lyrics	buy track
The radio’s down and we’re snowed in In New Orleans, yeah Just got promoted to cult leader In the morning, yeah I’ll cut my wrists and drink my blood For a change, yeah I gotta find a way that’s a better way Than a stake through the heart You put a spell onto me Put a spell onto me The fire’s gone out and a moon halo Is a friend, yeah I’m so drained but there’s still more to amend, yeah You cut your wrists and the blood Turns black and I shake, oh yeah I gotta find a way that’s a better way When you break through my heart You put a spell onto me Put a spell onto me
12.	Star Man 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Count down to the burn and Leave the ground heavenly Lift off for the last time And ascend through the deep This is the end, for a star man When you see me again It will be in your heart This is the end, for a star crossed lover When you see me again I will be in your heart Spun out past the old waves Volume’s down, let me sleep Lift off for the last time Love is all you need beneath
