SHORTENING MY HELL Songtext
von Cole Steef

I′ve made one too many complaints, and I
Sail Enceladus on a hot train in my daydream
As I could barely get one shoe on tight in my trek out the door
But who really cares? Someone could love you past the ugly head
Shell of the mismatched wires, present flame when you're bothered
But it′s a problem
When the signs hit you in the face, and you don't take the leap

I've seen the signs, and they′re dishonest
It′s always hand to the chin
Sit with me in my embrace against my chest
Let me tell you all the reasons you're precious
I want your full attention every night
I′ll take you on the dance floor, just to be nice
That's right, it′s
Charity for the plump, spiteful fuck
Who's never gonna have a chance after curtain call

If that′s the case, then I don't mind
But it matters when, in hearts, I've fallen behind
And I′ll try to be more conscious, but I′ll be damned


One time's a lovely place to trip
Over in passion, then it′s being unable to tell
Lock the doors, I'm out

Shortening my hell
I′m gonna be wishing no one well
Shortening my hell

Tell me that there's no wind left in my sail
Anything helps, just don′t get my hopes up
I'm kicking the can
Hey, leave out the bullshit, wondering
Am I supposed to bless you? Well, right now
I'm shaking my head
I′d like to know where needed amendments lie
But you fuel me like a god, trip over the sky
With shit no one could tell me in a comatose
But you tell me in the name of good fun


If you′re a friend, then I don't mind
But don′t keep me falling when you know, in hearts, I'm already behind
Talk to me like a friend, touch me like a friend
Compliment me like a friend, but don′t be so savage
Cuz right now, I'm sick of not getting any closer
You wish you were lifting my spirits
Now I don′t wanna be closer
I don't wanna be closer, I'm

Shortening my hell
I′m gonna be wishing no one well
Shortening my hell

Talk to yourself, think you′d have a laugh
Ask me why I'm upset, I don′t know
I just thought that after all this time you wanted to spend with me alone
You sharpshooter, oh so deliberate
Know just when, where, and what, the feelings you hit
Suddenly, your volatile mind regrets burying your nose in my cheek to tell me you loved me

Shortening my hell
I'm gonna be wishing no one well
Shortening my hell
I′m gonna be wishing no one well
That's right, I wanna be
Shortening my hell
Wishing no one well
Shortening my hell
Shortening my hell
