Deftonesis a platinum selling, Grammy award winning alternative rockband from Sacramento, California. Frontman Chino Moreno's poetic lyrics—described by a Time magazine critic as "furiously intelligent"—are often evocative, yet are sparse enough to allow for multiple interpretations. Moreno has cited Morrissey, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, The Cure's Robert Smith, and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahanamong his favorite singers, and beyond an occasional similarity in vocal technique, these singers' sweeping sense of drama and delicate vulnerability is often evident in Moreno's vocals. Deftones members have worked on several side projects, including Moreno's Team Sleepand drummer Abe Cunningam's Phallucy. Guitarist Stephen Carpenter works with a group called Kush, featuring members of Fear Factoryand Cypress Hill.

Crenshaw Lyrics

Deftones

Remember that one time I bit you on the arm?
I was just afraid of the solitude of being alone
I wanted to be at your house right now
and make you stand by the sink
I swear to keep awake
I can show you things like fire and more
...remember that time I kicked the TV over?

for...months
I'm sharing...lungs
I can't
talk to her
cause she'll throw rocks
...at me

I might never see you again
I hope we fix and stay special plus
I ain't trying to start a fight
but now if only I could pull you in, for a moment
I know this...pain
that's so sweet...
battle stations please guard us
(marry me...me)
don't lean on me
cause I'll fuck you till the morning
so stick close

spinning in her arms inside
and to be listening and know
she never really cared much about my music
...
my lung's in the top drawer
by now i've got her tied to me
as long as we sleep right now
as long as we sleep right now
...goodnight
