I Can Hear You
02:58
|
|||
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

Fog Outside My House
02:38
|
|||
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

Maybe

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

Pay Me In Francs
02:46
|
|||
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

Hey, tell me - can you tell me?
Baby, tell me. Just how do you feel?

Baby, you just need some sleep

Sunshine Vs. Rainclouds
02:11
|
|||
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

Return To Life
02:53
|
|||
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

God's Golden Fields
03:43
|
|||
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

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

Crowded Rooms
05:05
|
|||
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
