A Concise History of Joy - Handsome Anthems Lyrics

You don't know me
I cannot be known
You're always with me
But I'm always alone

I'm sure you'll find me hollow
Emptinesses redound
You can leave me feeling callow
Empty, useless, unwound

I'll pin my grief and wit
Like a slow fading corsage
Onto your myopic love
Blinded by my badinage

Deny my super-fictions
Transversals through convictions
Addictive contradictions
Oh baby how 'bout

Cha f*ck me up
Missy get my freak on
F*ck this prig outta me
He's got to go down

Handsome anthems in fashion
Echo through your glass mansion
You throw rocks for reaction
But baby how 'bout

Cha f*ck me up
Missy get my freak on
F*ck this prig outta me
He's got to go down

We fit into each other
As only broken people do
Lady Mailer you come out swingin'
And I dig your ballyhoo

Mutually constructed
To completely fall apart
Who will destroy the other
To protect their frightened heart

Deny my super-fictions
Transversals through convictions
Addictive contradictions
Or baby how 'bout

Cha f*ck me up
Missy get my freak on
F*ck this prig outta me
He's got to go down

Handsome anthems in fashion
Echo through your glass mansion
You throw rocks for reaction
But baby how 'bout

Cha f*ck me up
Missy get my freak on
F*ck this prig outta me
He's got to go down

My life as your distraction
Your distractions my élan,
With you as my Piaf
I'm sure to fly like Cerdan

Falling through the ether
I know there's nothing I can do
The ground is rushing at me
Promising something new

Deny my super-fictions
Transversals through convictions
Addictive contradictions
Or baby how 'bout

Cha f*ck me up
Missy get my freak on
F*ck this prig outta me
He's got to go down

Handsome anthems in fashion
Echo through your glass mansion
You throw rocks for reaction
But baby how 'bout

Cha f*ck me up
Missy get my freak on
F*ck this prig outta me
He's got to go down
