"In It For The Pleasure" lyrics
"In It For The Pleasure"
Operator's on the phone, says I can't be trusted
That's why you left me alone, it was broken, now it's busted
A little sunshine would do but outside it's disgusting
It's barely making a sound, my heart is beating so loud
I feel the sinking in my bones, I feel the pressure
Were you in it for the love, or were you
Were you in it for the pleasure?
It's late July and the sky is so grey
Everyone's in bed, for a month in LA
The house is so quiet, it's barely making a sound
Hands are shaking, my heart is beating so loud
I feel this aching in my bones, I feel the pressure
Were you in it for the love, or was it a game?
Were you just in it for the pleasure?
I dive into the pool, but the pool was empty
There ain't no water now. My bones feel like an ash cloud
All the minuses and pluses, I try to write them down
It doesn't matter now, my heart is beating so loud
I feel this aching in my bones, I feel the pressure
Were you in it for the love, or were you
Were you just in it for the pleasure?
I lie to myself so I can stay sane
A list of scratched out numbers next to names
And I'm running out of space
And it goes on forever
I feel the pain, I feel the pressure
What was it anyway? Do you remember my name?
Or was it just a game? Was it just a game?
Were you just in it for the pleasure?

Noah Gundersen - "First Defeat" It's the first defeat
It cuts you to your bones
Knocks you off your feet

Throws you to...

Still I was a slave, waiting to be saved
Dream, the body sleeps but I

It was bright, like a light that you kept from your smile

Conor Oberst - "Barbary Coast (Later)" There's a dance hall there
Where the sick folks go
Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast

Son Volt - "Drown" Sky cracks open, walls falling to the floor
Just as well to keep it a guessing game in store
You're with me now, will be again
All other points in between
And the cruel, cruel mornings
