As far as I know this is all they ever recorded, 2 tracks of noisy, chaotic, screaming fury. Sorta like Breach mixed with Deadguy, sorta. Best making up your own mind."

Carmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do what you want to do, do what you want to do, but I want you to stay
Be what you want to be, be what you want to be, but I want you to stay
You know I love you, Why did u say you feel everything will get hard someday
You know I see that, I'm losing my mind thinking of all the ways to keep us united
Tonight you're here with me
Stay with me x4 ..... Tonight.
You know I love, why it has to be
You seem to be searching for life somewhere
You know I'll miss you, you're tearing up my heart
Thinking of all the ways to keep us united
Tonight you're here with me
You know I love you and I don't want you to leave me tonight, but I'll tell you this
You know I'll love you every day
you know I'll miss you every day
Hope you can feel it, just fell it, Just stay with me
