[Lyric] The Hole (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] There’s a hole and I fill it with all sorts of things It likes praise and applause, and the acclaim money brings I keep it in the backyard, I keep the fence built tall I try to keep it locked up so nobody can fall in It’s demanding, and voracious It’s obnoxious and vexatious And I never seem to give it enough of what it...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Toothache (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] My teeth are aching, I’m hungry for glory Prowling like a young god in search of his story Well, I’d be so handsome in folklore Listening in like a ghost at the door Whet my appetite with the love they create I want to know how worship tastes [Pre-Chorus] My teeth are sharp like the knives that I feel in my head If I can’t have the world...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] God (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] The sky’s on fire, heaven’s melting And you keep telling me it’ll be alright I saw God crash into the ocean You asked me “Why are you praying to failure anyway?” [Pre-Chorus] If God is infallible, I want to kill them If God is human, I’ll cut them a break I want to pray to someone like me I don’t want to pray to perfection [Chorus] And...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Pedestal (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] Pull the curtains, my eyes are wide Wouldn’t you like to have a look inside? My soul’s wide open, got my tongue twisted choking on my words Do you know the truth in what you heard about me? Uh oh, the rumors are true I broke my own heart, I’ll take it out on you I got sky high problems, now it’s your job to solve them Aren’t I a pretty...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Gold Thread (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] I sewed my fantasies together with thread I borrowed from God And I wrapped some ‘round myself to cover my flaws And it’s shining like gold in the sunlight But it keeps me up, glowing all night And it slides round my throat while I’m trying to sleep And I’m choking on feathers and light as I weep [Pre-Chorus] Baby, I fell hard, and I...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Show Off (Coffin Varnish)
[Intro] Don’t I look nice on a stage with my makeup done? Isn’t it a perfect picture envied by everyone? And I am who I want to be when the lights go up Take a picture, I want to remember how it feels Take a picture, I like to forget it isn’t real [Chorus] But now the show’s off And I am so lost Who am I without the stage? I can’t seem to find my...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Cavern of Hearts (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] My chest is a cavern, my heartbeat echoes like a lonely beast I’ve gone exploring, but I’ve never found just what it needs Torches don’t light and fires snuff out, And warmth is an envied folktale And I am inside somewhere in the dark, Waiting for someone to lose the trail [Chorus] I’d steal a million hearts and fill the cavern up To...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Mirror (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] You look reflective, glassy eyes You might be perfect, exactly my type Let’s play a game of reflections Mirror my image back minus all the imperfections Oh love, don’t speak, you’ll ruin the illusion I’m perfectly happy to subsist on this delusion Let’s play a game of reflections Let’s play a game of you taking my...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Bleeding Salt (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] You can drip venom in the cuts, try to hurt me But I’ve been bleeding salt for years You can scratch and prod at the scabs in my head But pain isn’t the worst of my fears Oh you remind me, someone noticed I’m alive Keep it up baby, don’t stop now, I need your opinion to survive And I’ve been crying, and it brings me to my knees You could...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Withering Daffodil (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] Can you see yourself in the future? I don’t like to look into that crystal ball Lay the cards out, tell me who I’ll be, but Don’t make me look at my portrait on the wall I don’t know him, I don’t want to see I think I’d rather die than acknowledge him as me He’s not- [Chorus] Beautiful anymore I hope he dies, I hope I die before I meet...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish[Lyric] Spotlight (Coffin Varnish)
[Verse 1] Your eyes burn holes when I’m on the stage You know I love to perform, but I’m trying to gauge Your reaction, do you want more? I think the show’s ended, I should head home to bed But I can’t seem to stop, silence makes me feel dead Can I have one more encore? [Chorus] Put me in the spotlight, I don’t care if it burns Put me in the...Learn MorepopCoffin Varnish
