Unicorn Album Lyrics by GUNSHIP

Monster in Paradise

All this living is so worth dying for
So come with me
I can make you feel alive
If you are hearing this
You're in paradise

A monster in paradise
It's just for the score
You are the thing that makes me feel alive

Covered in gasoline
Heat haze obscurity
Glamorous to the bone
Everybody get down

Ghost of the sky
(Shut up and fly) something for the weekend
Stay on the run
Let's get the damage done
We move something like this
Killing it is easy now
Watch our faith get twisted 'round
Ghost of the sky
(Never say die) save it for the weekend
'Til the blood runs cold
It's always about the damn girl

A monster in paradise
It's hell to the core
But all this living is so worth dying for

A dark dissent has begun
Pleasure pain continuum
Beautiful freak just get your foot down tonight

Ghost of the sky
(Shut up and fly) something for the weekend
Stay on the run
Let's get the damage done
We move something like this
Killing it is easy now
Watch our faith get twisted 'round
Ghost of the sky
(Never say die) save it for the weekend
'Til the blood runs cold
It's always about the damn girl

(It's better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven)
Surrounded now but no surrender
(The odds against the betting man)
Far beyond but I still believe

Spin the wheel and light the tires
Take me back towards the fire
I've never seen as clear as this
We ride tonight to the abyss

Ghost of the sky
(Shut up and fly) something for the weekend
Stay on the run
Let's get the damage done
We move something like this
Killing it is easy now
Watch our faith get twisted 'round
Ghost of the sky
(Never say die) save it for the weekend
'Til the blood runs cold
It's always about the damn girl

Taste like Venom

Rachael keep on running
That deep dark secret
Will keep on coming for you
Shot through my knees
Welcome to the party
It's one hell of a scene
Smoke and coke and body steam
I am dying for you

Just really wanna get blown away (hey, hey, hey, hey)
You're dangerous like they said
You taste like venom, taste like venom (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Now I can't feel my face
I can't feel it

Senses on fire
A physical attraction
White hot desire
Sinister deception
A cult paradise
Everybody wants to look just like you
Dark times arise
I will always love you
I am dying for you

Just really wanna get blown away (hey, hey, hey, hey)
You're dangerous like they said
You taste like venom, taste like venom (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Now I can't feel my face
I can't feel it
You taste like venom, taste like venom (feel it)
You're dangerous like they said

The streets are alive
Everybody's searching for you
This dark heart of mine
Is dead whatever I do
Thirty three or forty five
Cold sweat, in a fluid motion
One step and shut your eyes

I just really wanna get blown away (lie still)
You're dangerous like they said (lie still)
You taste like venom, taste like venom
And I can't feel my face
I can't feel it

Empress of the Damned

When she falls hard, she falls hard
And her eyes
Fill up with stars, fill up with stars
But it's a false start
A call card
What's a race without a car, without a fast car?

Running your stats while you form an opinion
Power levelling through a rift in the algorithm
All you thought I wanted was some love and affection
But pull the blinds back and I'll show you the system

I can't be killed with conventional weaponry
Now you're trying with emotional surgery
I hear you call with a sense of emergency
Everyone dies but me, I'm sorry
'Cause you know I've got all night

Please wake me up
I wanna to-touch, it's pure corruption
I can't get enough
I'm gonna gi-give you satisfaction

X, follow X with a cross to your chest
Like the beat of a heart
When you've got nothing left
Do you know who you are?
Do you talk to the stars?
If the cake is a lie
I'll be there in the dark

Running your stats while you form an opinion
Power levelling through a rift in the algorithm
All you thought I wanted was some love and affection
But pull the blinds back and I'll show you the system

I can't be killed with conventional weaponry
Now you're trying with emotional surgery
I hear you call with a sense of emergency
Everyone dies but me, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm taking you with me
Are you with me?
'Cause you know I've got all night

Please wake me up
I wanna to-touch, it's pure corruption
I can't get enough
I'm gonna gi-give you satisfaction

PC PVZ? Ha, PVP me
If you've got the PEP now

We can't be killed with conventional weaponry
Now you're trying with emotional surgery
I hear you call with a sense of emergency
Everyone dies but me, I'm sorry
We'll go 'til the morning light

Please wake me up
I wanna to-touch, it's pure corruption
I can't get enough
I'm gonna gi-give you satisfaction

Tech Noir 2

I'm recording this because the survivors no longer envy the dead
The final war is over
Its architects forever entombed in melted glass and steel
I watched the efforts of our species dance away on the radioactive wind
Civilization retreated by millennia
All of human history wrought to dust
Our cities, now scorched black mausoleums serve as a reminder
There can be no victory in war
Birth is the answer to the question of our mortality
With resolute defiance we choose to grasp at the delicate thread of life
My son the gift of survival is yours
Please, may you never submit
There will be more

This is it, we are on our own
The air is clear, welcome home

We're headed straight for oblivion
But we're gonna make it
Whatever it takes
I just wanna be with you

Lost love for revelations
Heavy rain diffuse the sun
Look up and wash it all away

We all know how this ends
Up above the skylines
Drifting in and out around us
But I, I know, I know you're here
Can we rebuild everything?
I can see the angel dust
It's raining down upon us
So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe
We can rise through the fire

All roads paved in crushed-up skulls
Ride with me to the end of the world

We're headed straight for oblivion
Just keep it lit, here we go again
And we'll fly right through
I just wanna be with you

Lost love for revelations
Heavy rain diffuse the sun
Look up and wash it all away

We all know how this ends
Up above the skylines
Drifting in and out around us
But I know, I know, I know you're here
Can we rebuild everything?
I can see the angel dust
It's raining down upon us
So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe
We can rise through the fire

There's a void in my head
There's nowhere I can hide
There's a shiver in her breath
As she slowly closes the other eye
Time stood still
We danced on broken glass
Yeah, I'm afraid of nothing when I'm with you

All hell can't stop us if we stay together
Let's live then die, then live like this forever

We all know how this ends
Up above the skylines
Drifting in and out around us
But I know, I know, I know you're here
Can we rebuild everything?
I can see the angel dust
It's raining down upon us
So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe
We can rise through the fire

DooM Dance

Hey kid
What's the matter?
You wanna live forever?

Enter the club, that walk so lethal
She blows my mind like nobody else could do
Fame, debaucher disco
She twists your face
Yo, she's got it

Dance, I need somebody to
Doom, raise some hell with you

Can you hear me call
Can you hear me call your name?

You stir my blood and my mind feels better
Take me to the place where we live forever
You and I are now mixing together
Higher and higher, we're moving forever

Shotgun, hot love in the fast lane
Dark night, highway to sin with you
Fame, they said never dies
Future proof
Hey, we've got it

Dance, I need somebody to
Doom, raise some hell with you

Can you hear me call
Can you hear me call your name?

You stir my blood and my mind feels better
Take me to the place where we live forever
You and I are now mixing together
Higher and higher, we're moving forever

You bring the heat right down on me
Give me more, give me more
Give me more, give me more
You bring the heat right down on me
Give me more, give me more
Give me more, give me more

Can you hear me call
Can you hear me call your name?

You stir my blood and my mind feels better
Take me to the place where we live forever
You and I are now mixing together
Higher and higher, we're moving forever

Blood for the Blood God

Long ago, I knew myself
Now I know, no one knows anyone else
What could I do to change it?
What could I do to stay in place?
What could I do to change it?
Now you take it away

Fight no matter what
Drive right through their heart
Give it all you've got
Blood for the blood god

Did your heart break?
On our own, with no one, no one else
Now we know
No one knows what to do
What could I do to change you?
What could I do to stay the same?
What could I do to change you?
Now you take it away

Fight no matter what
Drive right through their heart
Give it all you've got
Blood for the blood god

Blood for the blood god
Long ago, I knew myself
The seduction of chaos
No one knows anyone else
Blood for the blood god
Long ago, I knew myself
The power of free will
No one knows anyone else
Resist

Blood for the blood god
Blood for the blood god
Blood for the blood god
Blood for the blood god
Blood for the blood god

Did your heart break?
Did your heart break?

Did your heart break?
Did your heart break?
We all feel the same

Fight no matter what
Drive right through their heart
Give it all you've got
Blood for the blood god

Weaponised Love

Perfect body, perfect legs
Cosmetic addiction, modification
The woman of a thousand faces
Let's get invasive, let's get real messed up
This is now weaponized love
Sharpening your faith, the trip is beginning

Superficial damage, f*cking cute scar
Spark a smoke, repair turned on
For something this deep, I've been waiting forever

Inject this party right
To the head, you're my drug
I can't break the need for weaponized love
Give it to me, come on, give me some more
You've got me wrapped up, pinned down on the floor

Perfect body, perfect ten
Alienation, separation
The creature of a thousand faces
Let's start the damage, way past no return
Automatic dominance
A monster of war, white hot intuition

Inject this party right
To the head, you're my drug
I can't break the need for weaponized love
Give it to me, come on, give me some more
You've got me wrapped up, pinned down on the floor

Superficial damage, f*cking cute scar
Spark a smoke, repair turned on
For something this deep, I've been waiting forever

To the head, you're my drug
I can't break the need for weaponized love
To the head, you're my drug
I can't break the need for weaponized love
To the head, you're my drug
I can't break the need for weaponized love
To the head, you're my drug
I can't break the need for weaponized love

Ghost

Molten bloody earth
A focused open wound
All highways lead right here
Ghost

Storms and heavy air
Riots in the street
I'll take you somewhere safe
Ghost

Will we feel the same?
Caught between the sheets
Time is time again
Ghost

Just show me your world
Will we feel the same?

Dancing around my head
Glowing stems of death
Time is time again
Ghost

Anodyne, you hurt like heaven
Physical comfort drift away
Anodyne, you move like heaven
Physical comfort drift away
Anodyne, distortion has brought us back together
Operation Overlife, guide us away

Darkness for Dreams

Ash snow angel, numb our pain
She said goodbye
Darkness for dreaming
Ash snow angel, numb our pain
She said goodbye
Darkness for dreaming

We got our fingers burned
So tell me, what have we learned?
It's all inside your head
We'll keep walking on air

A call to wake up
Restart the clocks and live again

Darkness for dreams, darkness for dreams
Lie back in the ash snow with me
The closest we've been, the closest we've been
Darkness for dreams

We are unstoppable
We are unstoppable

Extraction's gonna hurt
But this skin can't live without love
Nothing compares
Just keep walking on air

A call to wake up
Restart the clocks and live again

Darkness for dreams, darkness for dreams
Lie back in the ash snow with me
The closest we've been, the closest we've been
Darkness for dreams

Ash snow angel, numb our pain
She said goodbye
Darkness for dreaming (walking on air)
Ash snow angel, numb our pain (walking on air)
She said goodbye
Darkness for dreaming (walking on air)

There is no room left in electric heaven (falling in love)
With the spoils of machine war, infected dualism (for the first time)
Let's go

Ash snow angel, numb our pain
She said goodbye
Darkness for dreaming
Ash snow angel

Darkness for dreams, darkness for dreams
Lie back in the ash snow with me
The closest we've been, the closest we've been
Darkness for dreams

Ash snow angel, numb our pain
She said goodbye
Darkness for dreaming

Holographic Heart

Throw your gun in the back of my car
Straighten this lipstick, pull my sunglasses on
Cold, cold holographic heart

You're all lit up by the setting sun
The queen of the night
That girl from Miami
Cold, cold holographic heart

Through the smoke of the club
We're silhouettes up against the wall
Another drink, let's get out of here

Holographic heart, holographic heart
You've got my soul wrapped up
Shock, baby, restart
Holographic heart, holographic heart
One love, one life left
Back to the start

The closer you get, closer to me
That kiss in the dark
That cosmopolitan dream
Cold, cold holographic heart

Bite down harder into me
A ghost in the wire
That girl from Miami
True romance
Let's fight right here

Holographic heart, holographic heart
You've got my soul wrapped up
Shock, baby, restart
Holographic heart, holographic heart
One love, one life left
Back to the start

Lie down
Close your eyes
Deep breath
We have become

Darkness falls
Lie down
She is back
The hunted has become the hunter
Cold blood

Holographic heart
You've got my soul wrapped up
Crush, baby, restart

Holographic heart, holographic heart
You've got my soul wrapped up
Shock, baby, restart
Holographic heart, holographic heart
Ice cold black soul
'Til death do us part

Nuclear Date Night

We dream of contact when we fall asleep
Getting acquainted on repeat
Optics run monochrome when it starts to get deep
Volatile neurons in ultra-high frequency

You're so delicious
Distorting my DNA
Veins pumping with gasoline
You're sliding my feet away

Nuclear date night (so visceral)
Where do we find it? (Synthesized)
Our hero youth
Dream together, we die together

Break the fixation on reality
There's a killer in you but no victim in me
Queen of the town, king of the street
Sleep when you're dead
Come in through this door with me

You're so delicious
Destabilize gravity
Turning heads and breaking necks
That optimized symmetry

Nuclear date night (so visceral)
Where do we find it? (Synthesized)
Our hero youth
Dream together, we die together

Alcohol and dopamine, the cocktail forever
Body heat and sanity under pressure
Metabolize, fantasize
The medium of exchange
This is the point of no return now
We are at the center of the hurricane

Are you a f*ckin' legend yet?
Night time is the right time for love
We'll party 'til we die
Chemical, I just can't get enough
We'll party 'til we die
Night time is the right time for love
We'll party 'til we die
Systematic attack of the heart from above
We'll party 'til we die

Nuclear date night (so visceral)
Where do we find it? (Synthesized)
Our hero youth
Dream together, we die together

Run like Hell

How about a little taste of what's in sight?
How about a little fun before we die?
Get lost, it's somebody else's turn to fight
There's nobody else like you

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it was
I remember you swimming in the shadows
And dancing in the rain

Run like hell
This is the night of the hunter
Deliriously pull the trigger, fire
Run like hell
You got the shot away, thunder
I never thought it would end like this
You are my escape artist

How about these dead hands around my neck?
How about this girl stuck in my head?
Let's get lost together
On the road where our blood is soaked into
There's nobody else like you

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it was
I remember you swimming in the shadows
And dancing in the rain

Run like hell
This is the night of the hunter
Deliriously pull the trigger, fire
Run like hell
You got the shot away, thunder
I never thought it would end like this
You are my escape artist

Don't cry because it's over
Just smile because it was
Don't cry because it's over
Just smile because it was

Don't cry because it's over
Just smile because it was, oh
Don't cry because it's over
Just smile because it was

You are magical
The light in my head
You are magical
Until the death

Lost Shadow

That fairground ride, that perfect light
Hey, spin us faster, kid
What a day that was, I lost my shadow
Leagues above this town
I will meet you there some day
Future set, a beautiful subject
The sweet smell after rain
What I'd give for that to stay
Soft dawn, pull the curtains wide
Failure by design, something tears cannot revive
Memories, I will miss everything

Take me back to the storm of yesterday
Lost in the night, nowhere to hide
You whisper to me
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Lucid silhouettes of vapor
Time slip, impact, shoot over
Head back, I'm leaving it all for you

The pain was so much more than anybody said
What a day that was, I lost my shadow
The cruel but gracious final drag of the tide
Girl, keep my seat warm up on the other side

Take me back to the storm of yesterday
Lost in the night, nowhere to hide
You whisper to me
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Lucid silhouettes of vapor
Time slip, impact, shoot over
Head back, I'm leaving it all for you

When will I see you again?
Redshift, the stars start to swim in time
Relative gestures
Let it rain down, let it rain down forever
We're learning to fly
Guided by reflections and echoes
When hope looked like this

Take me back to the storm of yesterday
Lost in the night, nowhere to hide
You whisper to me
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Lucid silhouettes of vapor
Time slip, impact, shoot over
Head back, I'm leaving it all for you

Postcard from the American Dream

Get out of the room, I can't sleep
Because the bed's too big for just me
I chew some more on the straw
Of the milkshake flavored by reverie

Eyes on the sky (stars, stars)
Searching for heaven (stars, stars)
I think I've found it (stars, stars)
It is the memory of when we're together

Can I hold you again? I forget what it's like
(Never let go, never again let go)
Yeah, the marks on my cheeks
I can't lie, I've been crying
(You were never alone, you were never alone)
I'll keep my heart warm by the motel fire
(It feels like home, it feels like home)
But it's something I just love
It is just so America

I think I've taken this a little too far
But it's something I had to see
Scribed in blood and full of holes
Here's the postcard from a dream
Can I be in your head?
Can I be in your head?

Eyes on the sky (stars, stars)
Searching for heaven (stars, stars)
I think I've found it (stars, stars)
It is the memory of when we're together

Can I hold you again? I forget what it's like
(Never let go, never again let go)
Yeah, the marks on my cheeks
I can't lie, I've been crying
(You were never alone, you were never alone)
I'll keep my heart warm by the motel fire
(It feels like home, it feels like home)
But it's something I just love
It is just so America

Love creates the illusion
That we are not alone

Who's gonna save us now?
(Who's gonna save us?)
Who's gonna save us now?
(Who's gonna save us now?)

Head down, I bow to you
Head down, I cry, it's true
Who's gonna save us?
(Who's gonna save us?)
We're gonna save ourselves
