Vandals Seeking Love and Destruction
Ignant Benches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can′t help from running my mouth
And I want to say too, anyways
We're a bad mirage
Lovely are the men I mourn
Pathetic, their semi-nude hearts
And I want to say too, anyways
It′s a sabotage
Come on, come on
Do it anyway
(Come on, come on, do it anyway)
Vandals are your love obstruction
Sort it for your sake
Come on, come on
Do it anyway
(Come on, come on, do it anyway)
Vandals offer love destruction
Now you're wide awake
This time, I better move on for good
I've had it
My counterfeit crush
And I want to say too, anyways
You′re a bad mirage
Lonely are the men adored
Magnetic, with styrofoam hearts
And I want to say too, anyways
It′s a sabotage
And I want to say too, anyways
Come on, come on
Do it anyway
Don't be bitter
For a vandal, a chance at romance is okay
Now you′re wide awake
Come on, come on
(Do it anyway)
Come on, come on
(Do it anyway)
Don't second guess
Now you′re wide awake
Come on, come on
(Do it anyway)
Come on, come on
(Do it anyway)
Don't second guess
Now you′re wide awake
