I don't want to hear you But your voice is everything I'm hearing I don't want to see you But your face is painted on my ceiling I'm so glad you feel this I'm so glad you're in this building with me I want everyone to see you Want everyone to just stand and see us waving I'm a home for failure I'm a needle that keeps everybody bleeding

Shroom Daddy 03:31
Don't make me waste another ambulance on you, girl The stupid shit you're always doing Is making me fucking hurl Just shut up and make yourself feel better? All you gotta do is think It's easy, just stop throwing up In my kitchen sink You'll love yourself in no time flat What the hell do you think of that? M m m mushrooms make all the girls swoon Just 'cuz I didn't catch you this time Doesn't mean I won't assume you're lying Even if you like the boys I'll believe you're making girls your toys Just 'cuz I didn't catch you this time Oh, I'm gonna catch you this time I gotta scratch this burning itch Tell you you're an insolent bitch It's past your bedtime, get home immediately I'll never forgive you for this How could you be so amiss? You'll never see the light of day Keep those druggies away They've led you astray Just wait until I tell your mother She'll be about as active as Krist I'm gonna leave you an enormous list Of all the reasons I'm pissed Maybe the bible will get you going Away from all the drugs you're stowing Happiness in the name of God Why is everything you do so flawed It's past your bedtime Get home! it's time for rest Just kidding, surprise drug test You've fallen so far from the nest You'll never see the light of day There's no such thing as play Get to work on your sun ray

Carpet Skin 02:27
What's the point of this song? It'll never strike gold in the eyes of God Find me in the middle of a chopping block Marry me, oh father of darkness It'll always be the same forever Just tell me you'll never leave Tell me you can make me all better So I won't find my end like a winter tree I will travel down to the city of bees And there I'll make my friends I will reach my hand into a piranha tank If you it'll please And I will be your pet, your little blanket skin I'll follow you around Find me in the middle of a chopping block Save me, oh father of darkness It'll always be the same forever Just tell me you'll never leave Tell me you can make it all better So I won't find my end like a winter tree

It's been way too foggy outside Reminds me of the way that I was And the way I am when you're not around Why can't I just calm the hell down? You are just a person in the light What do you become in the dark? I wish I could surface the truth Losing all my senses for you The fire is slowly rising Oh, and the riders Are surrounding us in our holy house Will this be the last night we spend? Waiting for the cops to show up? Will this be the last thing we say? Before our love, our words, are all gone?

Car Talks 01:47
The air was still and we both knew That what we knew would finish soon Your glass was gold, your eyes so blue I miss our car talks through and through Too hot, too cold, too brash, so bold We're in the garden far from folding When I was alone, the fuzz, It told me you, you be, you buzz Maybe you'll be back someday Maybe you'll stay I hope this day you won't forget Or through your fingers let it slip This is what made the boats all tip This is the storm that wrecked the ship I thought you told me you would hold onto What you care for. Behold a Truce, come loose, once great, reduced The clock can't hold another boost You bought that bike and walked that hike To see firsthand what woods are like Why don't you stop? And I'll stop too And we go back to four and two (yeah) Maybe you'll be back someday Maybe you'll stay x4 Maybe
7.
Attics 04:51
I am not afraid Got sleep the past few days Thanks to sound machines I am not at odds If I don't take time to pause The wheels don't ever stop And I am not in love I just wont give up Guarding the door to the attic Lay in bed at night Colored, dancing lights It all seems so right Like you could reach out to touch it And I am not afraid I am not at odds I am not in love Just won't step foot in the attic

The Eskers 01:49

I just make enemies; I don't make friends I tell them lies until they pay me in francs We have some fun until the army comes We have some fun until they take our guns Over all of this I just make enemies; I don't make friends They're speaking languages that don't make sense I thought that we had learned to put our differences aside Well, guess who's the fucking idiot this time? Over all of this I'm counting up all my daily mistakes That I keep making for the president's sake And then the cops said to walk a straight line Well, guess who's the fucking idiot this time? Over all of this

Laser Mother 04:22
Hey, tell me - can you tell me? Baby, tell me. Just how do you feel? I think you just - yeah, you just need some Baby, you just need some sleep But you're just up All night With this shit It's all wrong Hey, Mary(Mother Mary), Can you pull me out from under this wheel? I'm loaded; my friends are floating Can you tell me? Just how should I feel? 'Cuz it's a Trick x15 YEAH! Trick x13 It's a Trick x8 YEEEEAAAAAAAH! Laser Mother, can I worship you?

You're the closest we get to perfect round here I'm the furthest we get from perfect round here But when you look at me like that I could do anything! Anything for you If you want me to You're the sunshine that brightens up someone's day I'm the rain clouds that hide that sunshine away But when you look at me like that I could do anything! Anything for you If you want me to You're the closest we get to perfect round here I'm the furthest we get from perfect round here
12.
Waking up to the smell of a loaded gun I'm in jail for your love I need to call someone; anyone And return to life! I'm gonna return to life I'm gonna take back the time That I spend in my mind I met a cult leader She's a great speaker I'm in a padded out chamber In North Korea I'm gonna return to life I'm gonna return to life I'm gonna take back the time That I spend in my mind You're not invited unless you are a doctor

Late at night when all the humans have gone away It's dark outside and the lights have gone away I just need to find somewhere I can lay Beneath the dusk I hear somebody say: All you need is God's great fields With God's great angels You need is God's golden fields With God's golden angels Well, I found someone; I found someone who'll stay, Now I just need to find some time, some time to get away Though it's dark outside and the lights have gone away Beneath the dusk I hear somebody say: Oh shit God's great fields With God's great angels You need God's golden fields With God's golden angels

Summer Song 03:12
Us against the world I just thought I'd let you know How it used to be I thought I watched you go Who's at war with who? And where did things go wrong? The strings playing in my heart Are the ones who wrote this song Sorry you found out I didn't want you to so soon But all three stars aligned And now I'm missing June Who's at war with who? And where did things go wrong? The strings playing in my heart Are the ones who wrote this song Who's at war with who? And where did things go wrong? The strings playing in my heart Are the ones who wrote this song x2

In the darkness of a car In a parking lot In the middle of the night You are fogging up the glass You are something else I'm an insect in your light In a hot and crowded room I've lost sight of you All the exits have been blocked You are drifting out the window In the August air Past the treetops, and you're gone When you awake, you will be found again Life goes on And now I'm lost In the darkness of a car In a parking lot And now I wish that you were here To drive me home
