02. Bone Rage
When she counted all the pieces, they didn't add up
Thimble breaks the abacus into thin strata Oversharp cynical Out of date ephemeral If you got a bone to pick with time, we got a score to settle too You let your fears cover your eyes Scrapbook portraits of all traitors saved for the redux Squeeze out tears to sleep the kindness 'til it's bitter Bone-dry hubris Naimono Nedalrus If you got a bone to pick with time, we got a score to settle too You let your fear cover your eyes, we watch you turn into a fool You know you do You let your fear cover your eyes 03. Give Us The Gold
Aim, aim it at the wall
Cover up your flaws Cover, cower with me Late, too late to call Climb inside your faults Point your finger with me Hey, let me down Let me scrounge around In the filth of downtown Oh, stay, I wanna bring you home and take Little pieces of your stake In what you live for Point your finger Cover, cower Give us the gold Get us to go Give us the go Give it, give, give-a, give-a, give-a, give-a, give-a, give-a Give us the gold Give us the go Give us the gold With a safe Too safe to follow Got a harness around my hand It's only beating right now Hate I feel it dripping out my tongue And heavy words got me undone And I bleed forlorn Oh, hey, let me down Let me scrounge around In the filth of downtown Give us the gold Get us to go Give us the go Give it, give, give-a, give-a, give-a, give-a, give-a, give-a Give us the gold Give us the go Get us the gold Nails breaking out the shell Got twisty ties up in my hair like Killed roadkill for myself Ate fat and sickness for my life I'm too thirsty, out of sauce I'll dry up like a rainforest In 2050, I'll be fine Got diamond perfume on my mind Give us the, give us the, give us the, give us the Give us the, give us the, give us the, give us the Give us the, give us the, give us the, give us the Give us the, give us the, give us the, give us the Give us the, give us the, give us the Give us the, give us the, give us the, give us the Give us the, give us the, give us the, give us the Give us the, give us the, give us the, give us the 04. Hold Me In
I cannot miss
I cannot miss it I cannot miss it all If nothing If nothing happens If nothing happens I'll fall free and hold my breath Hold it to say Hold me in, I'm perfect that way But hardly safe What you say, boy, goddamn Goddamn Goddamn Low ceiling Delicate pieces Insulation Feathering off Hold my breath Hold it to say Hold me in, I'm perfect that way But hardly safe What you say, boy, goddamn Goddamn Goddamn Taken off track I'm loving back Swing between my ears Shiny on fire with the wind whip Whipping my tears back Taken off track I'm loving back Swing between my ears Shiny on fire with the wind whip Whipping my hair back Hold my breath Hold it to say Hold me in, I'm perfect that way But hardly safe What you say, boy What you say, boy, goddamn Hold it to say Hold me in, I'm perfect I'm perfect I'm perfect that way 05. Egg Replacer
On my weight
Do the "k" Ask me one Chemed essay Still no prey Know to hey Eye the way Stay the same Her, the ire, your wordsaw Un-sad for I know you Doughnut sec, the truce, the Burden lay your way at the Ox, go her, limb dutchess Lightning frayed her faces We'd just wanna be left by Too gone, ask to admit it Calm my whit To the king As me one Camp to say Justin too play Neil too hey I, their way Stay the same So ear be-all the wurst-uh Don't settle for Yule, no high Ease dropped wind you warned shore Self, scarce shit list lion Dyeing at the el are The member born babies? Is this intake the old Waze? Have enough good old days? 06. Cradle Of Rocks
When you lay you down the night starts to spin
For fear of missing out The dead heat of words and prose and scenes You just can't let it go Edges of your eyes strobing in the weak Night running out You're never too young to rest So won't you take it slow? Small as you are Lost in thought Dreaming of love Cradle of rocks You don't even know the dices that you'll roll The dips in the road White-knuckle your bones to stay your course You just can't let it go If you're quick to hate and if you're slow to love Well, that's your hitch to tow You're never too old to change So don't you prove me wrong Small as you are Lost in thought Dreaming of love Cradle of rocks Pebbles dream upstream to grow into boulders Holding up mountains and cairns rolling forward Pebbles dream upstream to grow into boulders Holding up mountains and cairns rolling forward 07. Lovell

08. lovemenot
Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls You love me or you love me not (Here's hoping) You love me and will be my box (To live in) We'll stand together, cast one great shadow We'll put our heads together, make plants grow You love me Love me not You love me or you love me not (You're showing) You'd rather squirrel away my heart (Than know it) We'll stand together, not standing on another Blowing kisses at the others, throwing flowers in the furnace You love me Love me not You love me Love me not You love me or you love me not You love me or you love me not You love me or you love me not You love me or you love me not 09. Bird Song
Looking for myself in the birdshit on my car
Rorschach holds a mirror from their wings to my heart In the motel sign, ballerina and a moth Many voltage light, many missed and soon forgot I keep it open I let the birds in I set their song free Though it doesn't make sense to me Holy greyhound bus hums the frequency of love Little feathers float on my pillow and my comb I feel it when you go, like you are my voodoo doll I'm glorious, I'm glowing in the sign above it all So I keep it open I let the birds in I set their song free Though it doesn't make sense to me I keep it open I let the birds in I set their song free Though it doesn't make sense to me 10. Catch Light
Everyone knows my elbows should be nowhere near yours
Watch as I slip my way into the room I'm sorry I had something on my mind I'm sorry I do not speak unless I Move through me a while Like I haven't ever been before Spin me more, make me unfold I wanna catch light Step on my lines as I smile, pretend I don't got 'em You could light me on fire, oh, I'm just happy to be here I'm sorry I had something on my mind I'm sorry I do not speak unless I'm sure I'm right, ah! Move through me a while Like I haven't ever been before Spin me more, make me unfold I wanna catch light Move through me a while Like I haven't ever been before Spin me more, make me unfold I wanna catch light Ah Ah Ah-ooh Move through me a while (Poppy seed muffin, poppy seed, whoa) Oh, move through me a while Like I haven't ever been before Ah, spin me more, make me unfold I wanna catch light I wanna catch light I wanna catch light I wanna catch light I wanna catch light 11. Garbage Shark
Unhand me now
Unhand me now Phasing light posts swinging on Can you imagine us on it? Never was a wanderer I've loved, I'll love again I'll love again Hand in hand for now We're flying without a wheel We're unbuckling my waist belt Unhand me now Diesel star burning bright through your sky Pull me out of the trunk and your mind Diesel star burning bright through your sky Pull me out of the trunk and your mind Wave of glass, coral gash, metal brine Garbage shark, minnow blood, take your time 12. Golden Hour
All the love in the world is not enough
For you have a head start Somewhere in the sparkle of your eye There's a memory I can't leave behind In a car, on a train No shade, I criss-cross every Voicemail I can't delete I'm saving up for square one as a New adult, fresh alone Heart flies half-mast And I rush to face the love that shapes me The way you nod, the way you talk The silly stuff, the "had to be there" and the Nagging sense of what we lost The emboss wears down And I rush to face the love that shapes me Golden hour let the tears run free We love to give We love to lose We love to live We love to die We sacrifice what we remind We love to give We love to lose We love to live We love to die We sacrifice what we remind The love All the love in the world is not enough 13. It Happens
Good boys are a lot of fun
They vote and clean up when they're done Fast summer on tank top lane I met a dreamer on roller skates Pet back and pinched his cheeks I laughed with him for seven weeks When wonder had its way He cut me off, I said okay (It happens) Tall girls seemed out of reach But I met one who didn't look down on me She had so much to say I read each word and washed away I wake up in that tub With dreams of hot nights when I was young There's nothing like the first But I'm no better or no worse (It happens) And I got there by going there Please don't rush me I got there by going there Please don't rush me 'Cause I got there by going there Please don't rush me I got there by going there Please don't rush me I'm never running again |
