lyrics

Lover Named Arrangement

There was a lot of green before / and a lot of red

Painted a movie of you and me / improvised and scripted

It was a lot of fun and magic / a lot of thorns and crowns

Now mine’s weighing too much it’s time to put you down

There’s nothing worse than caring this much and nothing better

I feel it all / I was encompassed / now I’m not so sure

(Prechorus):

I’m crashing into walls / in this empty room

I am hungry and feeling sorry for you

(Chorus):

Whatever the plan was / it’s got my heart

Trapped inside the mistake

Whatever the plan was / well now my heart

Is that little bit of colour outside the lines

On your progressive picture / there’s too much paint

For me to stand in front of / interpret and appreciate

You’re spilling your blood and your heart

All over my walls and floors

While at the same time I try to cry for you

And try to point you towards the door

(Prechorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge):

Your blood is staining my hands

It’s drying into shackles while I am

Being pulled just as strong by another lover

Another lover named arrangement

(Prechorus)

(Chorus)

The lines…

You must have scorched your eyes out to see this

You must be half numb to feel this

Go To Hell, Chris Thompson
by Ah, Venice

I got to do a schwack of live shows with Ah, Venice and at the time we were playing a lot of these songs. Aside from the nostalgia, Chris is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever encountered, Kendall Patrick

thanks for asking
by fine

1st time I heard Max's voice coming thru the PA my jaw dropped. About time I heard some writing as raw and accurate as this. A brain is a battleground and some people just know how to write about it Kendall Patrick

Matt Chesterfield is out of left field. One time when I barely knew him, I asked him why he always sung with an english accent. "I don't". I've never met anyone who writes like him, or is like him. <3 Kendall Patrick
