Caraphernelia

Caraphernelia is the fourth song on Pierce the Veil's second album, Selfish Machines.

Description
"Caraphernelia" came yas queen slayaround based on Fuentes' ex-girlfriend Cara, who left her possessions at his house, which made Fuentes thinking about her when he saw them. Before adding the title, Fuentes sent the lyrics to Cara, who "was actually very flattered by the whole thing". As soon as he started writing the music for the chorus, Fuentes knew he wanted A Day to Remember's vocalist Jeremy McKinnon to appear on the song, asking him several weeks later. McKinnon screamed the chorus and bridge sections, which made the collaboration "very special" to Fuentes.

Lyrics
Sunshine, there ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night.

(But, there's just something about) This dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy. Licking your fingers like you're done and, You've decided there is so much more than me. And baby, honestly it's harder breathing next to you, I shake. I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me. Hold my heart it's beating for you anyway.

What if I can't forget you? I'll burn your name into my throat. I'll be the fire that'll catch you. What's so good about picking up the pieces? None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole.

Nobody prays for the heartless. Nobody gives another penny for the selfish. You're learning how to taste what you kill now. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Don't mind me, I'm just reaching for your necklace. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">What if I can't forget you? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I'll burn your name into my throat. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I'll be the fire that'll catch you. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">What's so good about picking up the pieces? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Just give her back to me. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">So, baby, what if I can't forget you? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">(What if I can't forget you?) <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Collide invisible lips like a shadow on the wall, <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And just throw, oh no. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You can't just throw me away.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">What's so good about picking up the pieces? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">What's so good about? What's so good about? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">What's so good about picking up the pieces? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Oh.
