Only Me (free) 06:04
Old bruises, bad news is Imperfectly reused in a second life taught by second-hand thoughts to breathe when it's blown out. I like him, don't fight him When he speaks a piece of his mind, I give the devil his due, and if he gets through it's rude to push him out. More than anything now, the lips I've kissed the lips you own, the lips I hate, I've memorized. Turned to demons I can't shake. They burn. They keep me alive. (And you'll love only me) She loves only me Heartacher, backbreaker. Insensitive curator. Practice smashing windows, breaking bones against the wall. No feeling, soul stealing. If drowning slow is appealing, appreciate your motive's weight when there's nothing else to hold. More than anything now, the lips I've kissed the lips you own, the lips I hate, I've memorized. Turned to demons I can't shake. They burn. They keep me alive. (And you'll love only me) She loves only me (Guess I'll be one more hero) (I guess I've guessed wrong) Hold your breath, speak no more (And you'll love only me) She loves only me

Last Chance 03:30
Cold wind come kiss me awake I like the way that you stutter when you know I'm not sleeping Stay with me a little while, and see in a little while You won't mind the mess, 'cause I made you this way Now you know Oh! Oh! Could you be mine? Would you be mine? Could you be my last chance for love? Will you be mine? Should you be mine? Could you be mine? No no no yeah yeah No more money or drugs No more love anymore I'll give a kiss to the kids And set the lock on the door I'll give everything up I'll sell the kids to the store I'll put some cash in your hand And stuff the rest down your throat Give up, give up Give me your love 'Cause without you, I'm paralyzed Give up, give up Teach me to feel Soft words won't sing me to sleep I like the way that you mumble when you think I ain't listening Touch me just a little more And then for a little more You will tell the lies that you promised to me Now you know Oh! Oh! Could you be mine? Would you be mine? Could you be my last chance for love? Will you be mine? Should you be mine? Could you be mine? No no no yeah yeah No more money or drugs No more love anymore I'll give a kiss to the kids And set the lock on the door I'll give everything up I'll sell the kids to the store I'll put some cash in your hand And stuff the rest down your throat Give up, give up Give me your love 'Cause without you, I'm paralyzed Give up, give up Teach me to feel Could you be my last chance for love? Give up, give up Give me your love 'Cause without you, I'm paralyzed Give up, give up Teach me to feel

Come Home 04:02
They dreamed of bright love but that's how the story goes When she left color for chrome he was the last to know She said, "Surely be nice for you to come with me." He said, "I know I've got a love like a star you can hardly see, but all my fire is for you." She sold plastic dreams, paper smiles She studied the wonder-less world and dreamed only a little while She said, "Surely be nice if you would come to me." I said, "I know I've got a love like a star you can hardly see, but all my fire is for you." I don't need you to stay Lift my broken wings, I'll be on my way Promises are the thinnest air, oh I breathe you now Wrote a melody to bring you back somehow All I dream at night is of the bright love that came back home. Would you come back home?

Orion 04:31
Are you simple in love? Do hollow dreams haunt you still? Always chipping away By counting on time to kill She said, "Fever, you followed where pleasure has failed me." You'll fly for your love and win her away awhile Be blinded by love, it gives you away awhile Breathe water if love could carry your pain awhile Drink poison, for love may favor your dreams awhile Are you simple in love? Does memory serve proof? Every habit I've formed Grows sweeter with age, like you She said, "Fever, you followed where fortune has failed me." You'll fly for your love and win her away awhile Be blinded by love, it gives you away awhile Breathe water if love could carry your pain awhile Drink poison, for love may favor your dreams awhile

I'll recreate you in gold and manufacture your soul oh liberator, baby, drag me under And wander with me a while 'til I taste teeth in your smile oh victimizer, honey, push me further Like older versions of me, betrayals waiting to be, inventing venom and divine disfavor But that's as bad as it gets choking on cheap cigarettes drowning in patterns and in beautiful fire Not again! Devil at the door when I burn me up Not again! Devil like a whirlwind that calls me up Another paranoid beat, bloodlust is tempting to feed Drives me just short of crazy, not further Improved alchemical burns Give me seniority sir Or otherwise define my flight to failure A castle built by default don't leave no footprint at all Don't give no warning when it topples over But that's as bad as it gets choking on ancient regrets drowning in patterns and in beautiful fire Not again! Devil at the door when I burn me up Not again! Devil like a whirlwind that calls me up Follow Leader Don't go Make sure To leave it all for the sake of the one who says she wants my love I'll never get it right anyway, I've never seen when I've had enough Not again! Devil at the door when I burn me up Not again! Devil like a whirlwind that calls me up

Blessed be the artificial tear To conjure up the dreary and dear To invite the victim toward the chopping block Where we'll feast upon his wings Then speak of finer things Oh, it seems, black hearts bleed melodies Blow out the wicked sun Kisses for everyone Gnash your teeth alone, grind the bones and pull the demon out of me She's an elegy that's sure to solve me soon A dark comedy that's filling up the room Shall we send her off to forage for the flock Or shall we dance among the dead? Prove that life and love are lies not long to live Oh, it seems, black hearts bleed melodies Blow out the wicked sun Kisses for everyone Gnash your teeth alone, grind the bones and pull the demon out of me When you gnash your teeth alone, grind the bones and burn the demon out of me Everyone of you is loved And everyone of you is lost And everyone of you is dust Again again again Gnash your teeth alone, grind the bones and pull the demon out of me

about

Our 4th studio album! Recorded entirely at our very own, Vice Studios

credits

released May 4, 2013

Music by Vices I Admire
Lyrics by Dave Curtis

Recorded at Vice Studios
Mixed and mastered by Dan Battenhouse

Artwork by Dave Curtis

"Only Me" and "Beautiful Fire" feature Tavis Alley of Speakeasy Tiger on guitar.

Special thanks to the crew at Gorilla Snot for their support! Please visit 'em at www.gorillasnotusa.com - tell 'em Dave with Vices sentya! Joey, Patrick, you guys are insanely awesome!

Printed and pressed by the pimps at Eyedea Worx -- eyedeaworx.com -- much love, Carey Ray!

Vice Squad, Shannon, what can I say, you guys are incredible! I don't know what we would be doing without you guys. Probably having fewer arguments about grammar and not reading as many good books. Oh and our music and video collection would be severely lacking as well.

And, of course, thank you thank you thank you to all of our fans! Your constant support and kindness keep us in the game! We are very lucky to have such extraordinary people in our lives!
