boygenius – Satanist (official audio) Lyrics
Will you be a satanist with me?
Mortgage off your soul to buy your dream
vacation home in Florida: the collateral
the devil’s repossessing from me.
Trying to score some off brand ecstasy.

Will you be an anarchist with me?
Sleep in cars and kill the bourgeoisie.
At least until you find out what a fake I am.
Spray paint my initials on an ATM.
I’d burn the cash and smash my old TV.

Will you be a nihilist with me?
If nothing matters, man, that’s a relief.
Solomon had a point when he wrote Ecclesiastes.
If nothing can be known, then stupidity is holy.
If the void becomes a bore, we’ll treat ourselves to some self belief.

You wonder
if you can even be seen
from so far away.
A slow pull, a seismic drift,
leaning over the edge of a continent.
It’s so hard to come back,
you hang on until it drags
you under…

boygenius – Anti-Curse (official audio) Lyrics
Getting deep.
I’m out of my depth at a public beach.
I never listened, I had to see for myself.
It’s coming in waves,
shoots through my mind like a pinball, straight
friendly fire, point blank.

Salt in my lungs,
holding my breath,
making peace with my inevitable death.

I guess I did alright, considering.
Tried to be a halfway decent friend.
Wound up a bad comedian,
an honest fool with more bad habits
than you can count.

There we were.
Was anyone ever so young?
Breaking curfew with illegal fireworks.
Unpacking God in the suburbs.

I’m swimming back.
You say you don’t have to make it bad
just cause you know how.

Writing the words
to the worst love song you’ve ever heard.
Sounding out the foreign characters,
an incantation like an anti-curse,
or even a blessing.

boygenius – We’re In Love (official audio) Lyrics
You could absolutely break my heart.
That’s how I know that we’re in love.
I don’t need the symbol of a scar,
so put down the knife.
We’re not swapping blood.

Isn’t it enough
that we stripped down to our skin,
cold and porcelain
like bathers in a painting,
and I told you of your past lives,
every man you’ve ever been.
It wasn’t flattering
but you listened like it mattered.

I feel crazy in ways I never say.
Will you still love me if it turns out I’m insane?
I know what you’ll say
but it helps to hear you say it, anyway.

Some October, in the future,
I’ll run out of trash TV
and I’ll be feeling lonely,
so I’ll walk to karaoke,
sing the song you wrote about me,
never once checking the words.
I hope that no one sings along.
I hope that I am not a regular.

Damn, that makes me sad.
It doesn’t have to be like that.
If you rewrite your life, may I still play a part?

In the next one, will you find me?
I’ll be the boy with the pink carnation pinned to my lapel
who looks like hell and asks for help.
And if you do, I’ll know it’s you.

I can’t imagine you without
the same smile in your eyes.
There is something about you
that I will always recognize.
And if you don’t remember,
I will try to remind you
of the hummingbirds.
You know the ones.
And the baby scorpion.
And the winter lunar halo.
And the walk we took in the Redwoods.
I could go on and on and on and I will
go on and on and on until
it all comes back.

boygenius – $20 (from “the film”) Lyrics

It’s a bad idea and I’m all about it
Give it one more chance and
Then I finally had it
When you wake up, I’ll be gone again
Motorcycle in the front lawn

It’s an all-night drive from your house to Reno
To the T-bird graveyard where we play with fire
In another life, we were arsonists
How long’s the Chevy been on cinder blocks?

Mama told me that it don’t run
On wishes but that I should have fun
Pushing the flowers that come up
Into the front of a shotgun
So many hills to die on

Run out of gas, out of time, out of money
You’re doing what you can, just makin’ it run
(Take a break, make your escape)
Gas, out of time, out of money
You’re doing what you can, just makin’ it run
(There’s only so much I can
Take a break, make your escape)
May I please have twenty dollars?
Gas, out of time, out of money
You’re doing what you can, just makin’ it run
(There’s only so much I can
Take a break, make your escape)
Can you give me twenty dollars?
(Gas, out of time, out of money
You’re doing what you can, just makin’ it run)
(There’s only so much I can
Take a break, make your escape)
(Gas, out of time, out of money
You’re doing what you can, just makin’ it run)
(There’s only so much I can
Take a break, make your escape)
I know you have twenty dollars
I know you have twenty dollars!

boygenius – Cool About It (official audio) Lyrics
Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool
and make fun of cowboys with the neck tattoos.
I ask you easy questions about work and school,
trying to be cool about it,
feeling like an absolute fool about it,
wishing you were kind enough to be cruel about it,
telling myself I can always do without it
knowing that it probably isn’t true.

I came prepared for absolution if you‘d only ask,
so I take some offense when you say, “No regrets.”
I remember it’s impossible to pass your test,
but I’m trying to forget about it,
feeling like an I’m breaking a sweat about it,
wishing you would kindly get out of my head about it,
telling myself one day I’ll forget about it
knowing that it probably isn’t true.

Once I took your medication to know what it’s like,
and now I have to act like I can’t read your mind.
I ask you how you’re doing and I let you lie.
But we don’t have to talk about it.
I can walk you home and practice method acting.
I’ll pretend being with you doesn’t feel like drowning.
Telling you it’s nice to see how good you’re doing
even though we know it isn’t true.

boygenius – Leonard Cohen (official audio) Lyrics
On the on-ramp, you said,
“If you love me, you will listen to this song.”
And I could tell that you were serious so I
didn’t tell you you were driving the wrong way
on the interstate until the song was done.
You felt like an idiot, adding an hour to the drive,
but it gave us more time to embarrass ourselves,
telling stories we wouldn’t tell anyone else.
You said, “I might like you less now that you know me so well.”
I might like you less now that you know me so well.

Leonard Cohen once said, “there’s a crack in everything,
that’s how the light gets in.”
And I am not an old man having an existential crisis
at a Buddhist monastery writing horny poetry,
but I agree.
I never thought you’d happen to me.
I never thought you’d happen to me.

boygenius – Without You Without Them (official audio) Lyrics
Give me everything you’ve got,
I’ll take what I can get.
I want to hear your story and be a part of it.

Thank your father before you,
his mother before him.
Who would I be without you, without them?

Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me
until your history’s no mystery to me.

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
until the words run dry, we’ll see eye to eye.

I’ll give everything I’ve got.
Please take what I can give.
I want you to hear my story and be a part of it.

Thank my father before me,
his mother before him.
Who would I be without you, without them?

boygenius – True Blue (from “the film”) Lyrics
You said you wanted to feel alive
So we went to the beach
You were born in July, ’95
In a deadly heat
You say you’re a winter bitch
But summer’s in your blood
You can’t help but become the Sun

When you moved to Chicago
You were spinnin’ out
When you don’t know who you are
You fuck around and find out
When you called me from the train
Water freezin’ in your eyes
You were happy and I wasn’t surprised

And it feels good to be known so well
I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself

Now you’re movin’ in
Breakin’ a sweat on your upper lip
And gettin’ pissed about humidity
And the leaky faucet
You already hurt my feelings three times
In the way only you could

But it feels good to be known so well
I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself
I remember who I am when I’m with you
Your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue
Blue

You’ve never done me wrong
Except for that one time
That we don’t talk about
Because it doesn’t matter anymore
Who won the fight? I don’t know
We’re not keeping score

And it feels good to be known so well
I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself
I remember who I am when I’m with you
Your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue
(Blue, blue, blue)

boygenius – Revolution 0 (official audio) Lyrics
Imaginary friend,
you live up in my head,
so I’ve been making music
since you told me to do it.

I just want to know
who broke your nose,
figure out where they live
so I can kick their teeth in.

If it isn’t love then what the fuck is it?
I guess just let me pretend.

I don’t want to die.
That’s a lie,
but I’m afraid to get sick.
I don’t know what that is.

You wanted a song,
so it’s gonna be a short one.
Wish I wasn’t so tired,
but I’m tired.

If you’re not enough, then I give up
and then nothing is.
I used to think if I just closed my eyes,
I would disappear.
