All I Really Want
03:22
|
|||
My head's in a blanket
While you reach for the door
On time with a bad stint
Add on a wager
You wanna see me get angry?
You'll have to rip off my skin
Climb deep in my sternum, and find
That fucker within
All I really want is a bad scene
and some cellos to play me out
All I really want is a bad scene
and the inside to reflect what's out
My chips on the attic
but my heart's on the floor
I'll let it get wrinkled
left out, to eat mold
All I really want is a bad scene
and some cellos to play me out
All I really want is a bad scene
and the inside to reflect what's out

Miss The Wait
04:45
|
|||
I know we're scared
In a huddle of family opinions
And on the one side:
A little push for a ring
And with my friends
So much love for the independent
And when I watch the type
to give away all their future and their confidence...
I don't want nights
where I try to prove I am easy going
but I want time
just to prove I am right
So here I come
I don't wanna miss the wait
And I don't wanna miss all the silly interactions
and I just wanna see you say
"can I come live in the cracks of your walls"
Everyday under the sun
you should know I'm alive
I know my heart
And I know I'm inclined to say this
but I think it's dumb,
for what keeps us apart?
Oh just a job - I complain on a daily basis -
and okay a book, or maybe a song
So here I come
I don't wanna miss the chance
to wake up on a sunday without any pressure
to get out in the world and prance
plan a trip to Colorado or a trip to France
I'm scared our time is limited here
I feel it in my stomach and between my ears
but I know one thing that keeps it clear
I care about you and I want you here.
Everyday under the sun
you should know I'm alive

Love Me Stupid
03:15
|
|||
Take me down
To a river
On the bankside and strip my clothes off
Point it out -
we're so fucking scared to seem the tiniest bit attracted to hair
I like the smell
It gives me shivers
and I see our bones crack reflected in that river
And I don't care
I like this
keep it coming
Shed my armor
Kick my heart in
I like this
Keep it coming
Love me stupid
Love me stupid
I like this
keep it coming
Shed my armor
Kick my heart in
I like this
Keep it coming
Love me stupid
Love me stupid
It's a little judgemental I get it but holy shit if I have to listen to one more conversation about rental prices or traffic or the question how's work or a comment about a movie I can't do it no I can't...
I like this
keep it coming
Shed my armor
Kick my heart in
I like this
Keep it coming
Love me stupid
Love me stupid
I like this
keep it coming
Shed my armor
Kick my heart in
I like this
Keep it coming
Love me stupid
Love me stupid

Jessica
03:12

Jessica exits the bathroom
With no shoes and a confident smile
With a hand she will trace the wall
as she walks down the hallway like somebody's watching
And then there's Harrison
On the dance floor
With the girl from Argentina
He is drunk and dim, he's not seeing right
Arms to the left he kinda shouts through some laughter
"Baby is it so simple?"
She says "Darling you can figure it out.
It is empty, so have a drink dear"
He says "I don't know if that is allowed"
And then he shouts something off like
"Yeah you know you're still so young.
And we live for the night grab my hand and come along"
Jess says "Harry when we get back home, let's cuddle under blankets and read alone. Let's tell each other secrets and never atone, you're my very best friend in the world you know."
Harry says "Jess you know I often joke, and I'm a little too drunk so please don't save this quote. I would be alone, just a pathetic bloke. If I didn't have you I'd never stay afloat."
"Baby is it so simple?"
She says "Darling you can figure it out.
It is empty, so have a drink dear"
He says "I don't know if that is allowed"
And then he shouts something off like
"Yeah you know you're still so young.
And we live for the night grab my hand and come along"
Then she gets real close to his face with an open palm
"You're repeating what I said Harry, how could you be so dumb?"

Trick My Soul
02:54
|
|||
Is this something?
Do I feel the same again?
Or it's nothing.
But do I feel the same?
Well I'd like to do it all again
And I'd like to brush your hair behind
And I'd like to see it in your eyes
And I'd like to hold you through the night
But it's messy.
I don't think it's the same again
Even though I miss it
I don't think it's the same
Dance it off
To kill the bones
It's funny how easy it is to trick my soul
Dance it off
To kill the bones
It's funny how easy it is to trick my soul
It's funny
There's a scene in a movie here
Where I run to you
And get down on my knees
But it's the look I give my friends at home
The lie I tell my co-workers
The amount of clothes I choose to pack
And the kind of joke that makes you laugh
Yeah it's messy
I don't think it's the same again
Even though I miss it
I don't think it's the same
Dance it off
To kill the bones
It's funny how easy it is to trick my soul
Dance it off
To kill the bones
It's funny how easy it is to trick my soul

Tear It Open
03:15
|
|||
In my bed
It's late at night
Staring upwards
Knowing she has the real me
I'm terrified
Bugs and insects
and whiter noise
Clutter my ears
so I put on my headphones
and fall asleep light
Please
Tear it open for me now
I need help
Tear it open for me now
Please
Tear it open for me now
I need help
Tear it open for me now
I know
The comfort is in the way I
Close off
And I will choose it every time
Please
Tear it open for me now
I need help
Tear it open for me now
Please
Tear it open for me now
I need help
Tear it open for me now

Through The Dirt
03:49
|
|||
Well I feel young
Probably two days a week
Maybe drinking to excess in sin
And I feel young
because I'm living in a city with 36 year-old children
But then I find you
It's always at a party
We meet through a mutual friend
And you are eager, and joyful
but with a wonderful sense of the end
Then you kiss me
And I'm a little weakened
But secretly I love that skin
And I hold you a little too tender
But that's just how it begins
I'll make you love me till your heart stops
I need love
to drag me up from nothing and push me to a wakened state
I need love
to wrap me up in presence give that shock back to my brain
And so I take
From all of your fire, your flaws, your love and your hate.
Yes, I take
And you respond with kindness just giving up rate after rate
I'll make you love me till your heart stops
Well that sad kid trick doesn't work
You'll just drag your love through the dirt
No that sad kid trick, it doesn't work
You'll just drag your love through the dirt
I'll make you love me till your heart stops

Lights Are Gone
03:26
|
|||
Is there anything sadder
Than the look of reservation
That you told me didn't matter
when you were filled with frustration
Well I'm just blind to the obvious sometimes
It got quiet in the room but I thought it was the weather
The lights are gone but we're going through the motions
The lights are gone but we act it out like we're on stage
I'm just blind to the obvious sometimes
It got quiet in the room but I thought it was the weather
Will all love fade like the need for sweeter breakfasts
And as I age will I ever feel so reckless
The lights are gone but we're going through the motions
The lights are gone but we act it out like we're on stage

Just Myself
02:55
|
|||
I wanna scream until my cords rip out
I wanna see what happens when I don't make a sound
It's a comfort knowing it could end
A tragedy and I can't make amends
Who to tell?
No one else
Who to tell?
No one else
I figured I ain't gotten over this
My friends are a crowd in a one congested kiss
I'm back where I belong again
Everyday is such a struggle out of bed
Who to tell?
No one else
Who to tell?
No one else
Who to tell?
No one else
Who to tell?
Just myself

Needs To Relax
04:25
|
|||
I often imagine a voice under the moon
"hey nobody gets there too soon"
It's a comfort and I listen gently and I love it tenderly I wish it were my parents but
My mother and father, they had similar advice
But it just didn't sit right
Kind of like real life
I'm on the lookout so constantly seeking for someone to tell me I'm doing my best out here
I talk shit when I'm on the right sip
But it's more of an empty quip
A cry for a tighter grip
But there's something inside of me I can't explain it I don't wanna stop, no I don't wanna stop
It's the rhythm of the crossing guard
It is feeling so alone, but in charge of our hope
It's the little ones who won't just cross to their home
Giving patience to the "oh please stop me I'm giving up"
Enough of the doom and gloom and I don't know how
It's always been how do I fit in the crowd.
What a cliche, and this is silly, and I don't know a person who doesn't have this problem
But there's something about the untouchable moment when people admit they're just having a tougher time
It's the rhythm of the crossing guard
It is feeling so alone, but in charge of our hope
It's the little ones who won't just cross to their home
Giving patience to the "oh please stop me I'm giving up"
There's something about the untouchable moment when people admit they're just having a tougher time
It's the rhythm of the crossing guard
It is feeling so alone, but in charge of our hope
It's the little ones who won't just cross to their home
Giving patience to the "oh please stop me I'm giving up"
