Die

|
Still, slow-moving
Backyard pines
Face in the pipe light
Kitchen window sight
Hide hide hide
From your boy
Die die die
Ruminoid
Mother reassures
Achin at the door
In my bed that night
I knew you both had lied
Grow to be alone
And in the cold
Find and lose a love
You weren't owed
Lie lie lie
To your old man
Try try try
To understand
Young and unaware
My body wouldn't care
If I followed you
Down into that same hole
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die

Bowling
02:26

I was dancing
At the bowling alley
With the new friends
That you didn't know
Knowing somewhere
You're out there with your own
And you never let me
Forget about that one time
In the parking lot
Yelling at your friends from the sidewalk
Oh you told me to just go home
[Chorus]
I heard you found someone to love
And I did the same
Yeah i did the same
And I heard you think that I did you wrong
But that's not the same
But that's not the same at all
[verse 2]
I was waiting
On the love of my life
To come out
Of the shadows
And punch me in the face
At the party
I went to way too many parties
Without you
At that apartment
I was yelling at your
Friends in the bathroom
They told me to just GO HOME
I miss you
But I keep it upstairs
I keep it locked down
And I keep it upstairs
I miss you
But I keep it upstairs
I keep it locked down
And I keep it upstairs for you
[Chorus]
I heard you found someone to love
And I did the same
Yeah I did the same
And I heard you think that I did you wrong
But that's not the same
Oh that's not the same
Oh you know
You know
You know
You know
Well it is not the same
Oh you know
You know
You know
You know
That it’s not the same
That it’s not the same at all!

Bushes

[verse 1]
I can see my friday fate
My friends are shaking me awake
Behind the bushes on west, too late
Red and blue off the sidewalk stains
Next week the story fades
That conversation made me afraid
I had the courage to drop your name
Now I know he won't see me the same
[Chorus]
I spun out and took a seat
On your front lawn
Asked if I could stay the night
And then laughed
Cause you were gone
Can you keep an eye on me?
I'm worried the wheels are coming off
Can you call me in the morning and let me know
Where I went wrong?
[verse 2]
If it feels the way this does
I might believe the healthy buzz
But I can't say it would be enough
The shame. It takes. To taste. It once
It was a disaster when it happened to me last week
This week I'll take the same way to your old street
But you're out with your friends after work having drinks
So responsibly
I spun out and took a seat
On your front lawn
Asked if I could stay the night
And then laughed
Cause you were gone
[Chorus]
Can you keep an eye on me?
I'm worried the wheels are coming off
Can you call me in the morning and let me know
Where I went wrong?
And don't be so alarmed, please!
Let go and let Me walk, please
I need my cigarettes and coffee
I think I'm parked over on block street

Circles
04:08
|
|||
|
Your restless ways
They're in my blood, I feel 'em too
But the south still stays
My midwest state of mind til it escapes
I found myself apart from hate
USA, you may say, and violet states
I'm sick of playing god
I'm sick of playing god, won't She just
Show her face?
Won't He just lose the name?
Can you let me know if we've all been saved?
Would it kill you to call
Can you blame me at all
In the light?
What was keeping you there
Was it me being so terrified?
We were one and the same
And it wasn't my pain to survive
If I'm losing conviction
Would you give me a reason to try?
All your life
Was making circles and starting it over
And that's alright
Cause you found a better way
To sleep at night
I found the same despite your best advice
If that don't change, I may not live to 25
I'm sick of playing god
I'm sick of playing god, but it feels good to try
Don't it feel good sometimes?
Can you let me know if you're on my side?
Would it kill you to call
Can you blame me at all
In the light?
What was keeping you there
Was it me being so terrified?
We were one and the same
And that isn't your pain to survive
If I'm losing conviction
Won't you give me a reason
To try-?

Cigarettes
03:42
|
|||
|
The first cigarette that I ever tried
Weak on your porch
Eyes closed and
Held inside
Too old to make sense of the innocence
And our legs in a shape
Like a crucifix
Turn on the television sleep on the couch
Wake up in shoes, and walk back to
Mary's house
Tell her a story that she'll always believe
Hold in the taste of the smoke back
Behind my teeth
I give a lot of weight
To your answers now
I never knew
That (all of my family lies were right inside of me)
Oh I'm too close
I think I'm close to clean
The way it all just fades
And requiescence takes its place
My temple body in a Mayan state
If I come over is my secret safe?
I know it's hard enough to love me when
I'm on my face
You can crack my head wide open
Put me in my place
And I don't know if I can take it
I wasn't complacent
I died on the table that night
I hope you know
Don't call out that you'll wait for me
If you're scared, can you keep that to
Yourself?
Can you keep that from me?

Over
03:01
|
|||
|
By the time, you had fled to your
East empire
I was taking root back in your hometown //
And I'm surprised
That I sit tight in your old shoes
That you hid from me all this time //
You were right -
I was half then that I am now
That used to keep me up at night //
And wouldn't I be the perfect one for
You now?
At the least, I could save you some time
What I would give to be part of your life
Has been reduced over time
I've decided that's fine
So don't call me
I wouldn't be so strong
To turn you down a second time //
But if you're lonely
I'll be meeting you there soon
I could drop in and say goodbye/ ///
Cause my love's made me bold
It can change you to be held like that
So it's over, yeah it's over
I just wanted you to know
I'm in love, still in love
I'm still hopeless most of the time
But still it's over
Give me some time to see
Where you fit in for me

Sunburn
04:06
|
|||
|
Burning in the summer heat
I'm not quite sure
When it became this clear to me
But know I know
We were only children then
Won't you try to understand?
Love's got a way of letting go
Even those
With the most stubborn of all souls
And you should know
When every date is on tv
That it's not what you'd thought it'd be
When I tell you I'm not sorry
It'll make sense in the morning
And you won't feel quite as lonely
As when you were with me
I left that small town one more time
I thought about nostalgia dripping from
Your eyes - but I thought twice
And I'm so sick of wonderin'
And you deserve more than a friend
You may have to look away in those autumn months
It slips away from you each day, then all at once
And like a sunburn disappears
You’ll look inside, I won’t be there
When I tell you I'm not sorry
It'll make sense in the morning
And you won't feel quite as lonely
As when you were with me
When I tell you I'm not sorry
It'll make sense in the morning
And you won't feel quite as lonely
As when you were with me
Now I know
Now I know-oh-oh-oh
If you
Love me
Don't say so
Now I know
Now I know-oh-oh-oh
If you
Love me
Don't say so

Inertia

We don't have to leave if you don't want to
We could stay right here all night
Cause lately I've not been about pretending
That i don't want you
Isn't it amazing how it happens?
Our bodies move in perfect time
And all the humid heavy air about us
Softly singing
Entangle me
Entangle me
I don't believe in love, but I believe
That you believe
If you could just give me one more minute
I think I'll have this figured out
How nothing in this world could really matter
And I'd still love you
I saw you in the back room of the bookstore
Reading up on killer whales
I thought about the way the planets rotate
And we're all floating
Give me something else that I can cling to
A word to get me out of here
Cause I don't know if I belong in heaven
If you're not with me
Entangle me
Entangle me
I don't believe in love, but i believe
That you believe
And i know
There's no truth
There's only moments where you and i are one
Give me an answer, a straight answer
Cause I've got a feeling that love is not enough
There's only moments where you and i are one
Give me an answer, a straight answer
Cause I've got a feeling that love is not enough

June
To November
All the time
That I gave
You don't remember
The tube
Coming out of your face
Wait -
Is it over?
Are you back?
Can you see?
It's true, you went under
You were gone
What did you see?
I spent so many nights
Right beside you
Why’d you let me
Wait
Now it's all clear
I was blind
Now I'm free
Now
When we go home
You won't rule
Over me
CAUSE I ACHE FOR YOU
I WON'T LET YOU KEEP YOURSELF FROM ME
I lived in dark
I prayed you back
Say
That you're good now
You and me
We can live
And the kid
In the backseat
He can know
That you're his
CAUSE I ACHE FOR YOU
I WON'T LET YOU
KEEP YOURSELF FROM ME
I ACHE FOR YOU
I WON'T LET YOU
KEEP YOURSELF FROM ME
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
CAUSE I WANTED THAT
AND I WANT YOU THERE
I WANT YOU THERE
I WANT YOU THERE
I WANT YOU THERE
I WANT YOU THERE
I WANT YOU THERE
I WANT YOU THERE
I WANT YOU THERE

Magnolia
01:45
|
|||
|
Underneath
The magnolia tree
You found me there
Suddenly without a care
In the world
And it all occurred
Without a single word
Like a dream been had before
Or an old familiar door
You were the key
|

Try
03:39
|
|||
|
I could not prepare
Or even brace myself
So instead i fell
Straight into blissful hell
Kiss my cheek
Til you forget my name
You pull your face away
Between every breath you take
Tongue on my dirty teeth
Feet on the pillow case
Slip into slow embrace
It's warm in my plastic cave
You know I trust you so
Oh, cause I reveal myself
Haymaker show and tell
I get off on taking off my shell
And if you love
And if you love me
Like I know you do
Won't you show me, too?
My boy
Don't let the years go by
I'm as afraid as I ever was
Old man
Don't let it all go and die
You don't owe me anything at all-
And if you bleed so thin
That your body breaks
And you hold on to your lover
And your fingers shake
And she hides out in your dreams
With a different name
You can act like you remember
But it's not the same
Well I hope the wind whips around my bones
I hope to find the ache you've always known
I hope the love that I have is shown
I hope the love that I have is shown
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
I wanna give it all to you until I'm gone
