FIRST CHURCH OF THE COAST UNITED At the seaport, pour out Trace it back and forth Chase her out the door I’m not like me anymore When I’m not like me, I’m yours First Church of the Coast United First words of a love undying At the alt house, sold out Kiss her feet on the floor Purr my pet name like before I’m not like me anymore When I’m not like me, it’s a war CHORUS Recruit Convert Control Retain CHORUS

I DON’T WANNA BE YOUR BOY Saw myself in those boxes Like a little casket on the carpet Pack up memory given back Like stolen money that we spent Like stolen money that we lent Love was made for the movies I’m no director, don’t forget I’m not an actor, burn the set I don’t wanna be your boy anymore I don’t wanna be your toy anymore Saw my hell in those boxes How those flames slowly crept Tossed out memory given back Like a little crumb that we swept Like a little crumb that we kept Love was made just to end Like a little death that we expect Like a little death, yeah that’s it CHORUS Saw myself in those boxes Like a little casket on the carpet Pack up memory given back Like stolen money that we spent Like stolen money that we lent Love was made for the movies I’m no director, don’t forget I’m not an actor, burn the set CHORUS

LET ME OUT Thought that I was lost Thought that I was gone Then I got out Then you let me out Thought I loved the cult Thought the cult was love Thought I loved the cult Thought the cult was love Thought it was enough But it’s not enough Then I got out Then you let me out CHORUS Thought that I was lost Thought that I was fucked Held you like a cross Then you crossed me out Thought I loved the coast Thought the coast was love Thought I loved the coast Thought the coast was love Thought it was done Is it done? Then I got out Then you let me out CHORUS The Coast United, I fight it The Coast United, untie it The Coast United, I fight it The Coast United, untie me CHORUS
