What's Up
01:45

I know enough
to know I don't know
enough to know
what's up with you
unless you have chosen to
reveal to me and answer nakedly
ooo I have seen
what you've shown
not what you choose to obscure
the light you let pass
through your heart of stained glass

Maps
02:34
|

|
I know I'm not free
how could I be
when forced to make
choices constantly
made a map of meaning
the size of all existence
and feigned a shocked expression
at it's futilities insistence
my loves not large enough
to hold all of my love
it's a child raising children
dust, unsettling dust
and I don't really need this
should've asked me last season
I don't really need this
don't need it, don't need it
don't need this right now

The Lonely Wanderer
04:36
|
|||
|
From the hillside I could see the place where I was born
A lonely clocktower stands across a sad skyline
And as the sunsets it screams its way closer to you
And from the hillside I feel so far away
Belgrade to San Francisco
Know I love you know I miss you everyday
Yea but everyday feels the same babe without you
Syracuse to Siciily
No island nation can keep my love from me
And the rain keeps falling
And your manager’s calling
Selling color photographs to the press from the day we met
But you said it doesn’t matter cause we haven’t touched down yet
Paris is cold this time of year
And LA it gets old when your lovin’ ain’t near me dear
So a thief and a harlot are spending the night with me
Yea a thief and a harlot I’m keeping good company
And the rain keeps falling
And you’re still not calling
I said I could hit it sideways
The lonely wanderer
I’m the lonely wanderer

Ladybug

little ladybug in my room
on my window pane
a little bit of rain
if the skies were clear
I'd still remember your name
but I can't complain
red and black spots in my room
inching closer to my tomb
desiccated in vermouth
now I'm feeling slightly used
little ladybug in my room
on my window pane
now it is encased
in the dust that accrues with the days
but I can't complain
red and black spots in my room
now i'm feeling slightly used
desiccated in vermouth
inching closer to my tomb

Revenge Night
02:38
|
|||
|
You get anything you want
Walking on water or wading in the pond
So easy so fun so happy to be the one
The mirror fills your eye
Climb the ladder to the stage light
To show your stuff
Til they’ve had enough
Right time right place
Perfect art perfect face
Your latest is a hit
Reminds me of car sickness
Goddamn it’s sick
Your little pony does the same old trick
I remember every little slight
Now it’s revenge night
Running out of time
This is a warning sign
A tingle in your spine
You had me fooled
Now I make the rules

Noah

I’m gonna build a boat today
And sail around the world with you
Us on the ocean blue as the blue
Sky cries down its rain over the
Wicked men and all of their wicked lives and
All who’ve ever been alive and
I will see it go
Waving goodbye to the earth that I’ve known
Waving goodbye to my home
I’m sailing on my boat today
With every animal in two
And there’s not much to do
But watch the flood rise and
See the demise for 40 days
And 40 nights I will hardly sleep
I won’t even bother turning out the light
But you’ve been getting rest and telling
Me about your dreams about how
Nice it’ll be to see a world that’s
All reborn and green
I’m stepping off my boat today
To walk upon a world so new
With the animals and you but all I
See are ghosts so many ghosts
So I drink my wine and
Stare up at the sky
Lying on the floor of my tent and
Until the day I die there will be
Tears running down from my eyes
Just like the falling of the rain

I'm Not Afraid
02:46
|

|
I'm not afraid
to kiss your face
if it's the last thing I see
it's the last thing I see
the kind of love
that bludgeons you
that feeds your soul
'til it can't move
if it's the last thing I see
it's the last thing I see
I'm not afraid
to lick your face
if it's the last thing I see
then it's the last thing I see
I'm not afraid

It's hard to keep a straight face
whether laughs or frowns
examining the boulder
that pins me to the ground
life really do be testing me these days
god said "let's see if we can shake his faith"
ooo ooo ooo ooo wawawawawa
life really do be testing me these days
god said "let's see if we can shake his faith"
ooo ooo ooo ooo wawawawawa

my moods do not believe in each other
one day I feel so alive
certainty, so without doubt
the next day I have no idea
what it was I was on about
my moods do not believe in each other
fleeting sensation is such a redundant phrase
every sensation is passing away
ya know babe sometimes my moods they just don't believe in each other ya know
my moods do not believe in each other
lately I float through my life
people can see I'm of two minds
confused but happier than I seem
now that I have more time to dream

Tied Up in Heaven
03:21
|
|||
|
I got tied up in heaven
I got tied up in heaven…hear me sing
A song of confusion
A song of pain
A song of expectation
Shattered again
I’d like a noose to tie me tight to shore
A noose to tie a knot
A ribbon tied around my wrist
You hold me while I walk these streets
I’m a beggar at your feet
No, I ain’t got no needs babe
Yea I aim to please babe
And I was all tied up in heaven
Tied tight
Tie me to your waist
Yea hold me in my place
May your will be done
May your kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Your kingdom
Come

Dribble
00:49

I knew a guy who dribbled
Every day after work
He’d go down to the
School and
Play basketball
All by himself til dark
As he walked he dribbled
I never saw him without a ball
I hope he’s doing well

Old Long Since
03:10
|
|||
|
Flowering rush
Bruised at the touch
You can’t do much about it
Can’t restore the petal of youth
Abundance
Of nonsense
These bodies figure less
When we occupy only our minds
How do we get out?
No man ever knows
Old long since
Atrocity’s child
Forgetting how to be mild
And it’s too late for tears
When you spent all those years trying to run from them
Now, how does it feel
Flowering rush
All out of blush
And no one comes to sit
Since they closed the garden
Can’t restore the feeling of before
No man ever knows
Old long since

Almost Maine
03:31
|
|||
|
Snow falls down on this quiet city
Street some nights
When the weather gets real cold
And cars drive slow past my house
Everyone is asleep tonight
Just the same as how it’s been
And I know I’ll soon get my turn
But the hour is so late I guess it’ll
Be another sleepless night
Seems to be every time
I know it’d be different
If I were in Maine
Out of the buses and trains and
Umbrellas turning in the wind
There I could sit by a fire
Feel the life in my bones
Return to their place
I’ll look up at the sky
I’ll count all the stars
No passing cars in sight
And when I can sleep I will dream
But for now I am here
At least it’s still cold
As cold as it will be
This coat is my house
This feeling’s my key
I’ll unlock the door

You Can Do It
03:25
|
|||
|
you can do it
just think about how
you're halfway there
you can do it
just think about how
you're halfway there
selfish selves then there's yourself
hanging out in blocks like prison cells
we're smoking rock, we're driving cars
distract yourself until your goldfish starves
society

Jasmine St.James
02:38

How could I have thought that you would want to be my foil
Let’s just call the night off, Take some time off, set to broil
We’re just cooking up disaster and the whole thing it is royal
There’s always someone else you’d best know about who plays the role
She’s there when I need her, when I leave her, she don’t know
She’s incorruptible and I’m the most destructible
When it’s your time
The man behind me come to your rescue
Don’t remind me
His hands tonight look so much like mine
I’ll lie back and think of England, think dwindling hopes
That you could discreetly come complete me
Now we know
I am so glad you came
I think that I would like to go

Elixir
03:04
|
|||
|
the elixir can't it won't fulfill
though it's filled with antioxidants
you don't know me
you think you know me
you only know what I choose to show you
and I'm meticulous at obfuscating myself
no seeing through
god writes your life
on a typewriter, I surmise
you can edit it
with oven mitts
that's the meaning of life
my blood starts to curdle
like a drop of lemon in milk
so I turn to my honey
hope and pray that things turn sunny now
crave no relief
have no wants or needs
copped a chastity belt
and Jesus ate the key
nothing to prove
nothing to lose
God set us free
then he set the hellhounds loose
