Magic
03:33
|
|||
blunted edge, flattery
i wander through a dark room
bruise my arm and hit my knees
on carefully spun half truths
ain't it magic when the sun drops lower
it's hard to see you're lying when the lights go lower
i don't know why you and i believe
fireworks inside my eyes
is there such a thing as darkness?
salty floods fall from the skies
an annual catharsis
ain't it magic when the sun drops lower
it's hard to see you're lying when the lights go lower
i don't know why you and i believe

Proximity
04:05
|
|||
does distance make the heart grow fonder
or does distance just mean that you're farther
you want what you can see
your hands touch what they can reach
we're just creatures of proximity
i think i read once that monkeys don't care
about other monkeys unless they're there
they've got community
some daily company
don't pine for what they cannot see
they're just creatures of proximity
i'm not saying i've got thicker skin than you
i just know i stopped all my looking after you
and i don't know why we keep playing pretend
we both know it's complicated
my stomach hurts when i think about it
and i can't sleep, my heads too crowded
you want what's best for me
i think that's what you mean
i hate it selfishly
cause we're creatures of proximity
i'm not saying i've got thicker skin than you
i just know i stopped all my looking after you
and i don't know why we keep playing like we're friends
we both know it's complicated
we both know it's complicated
we both know it's complicated

Maladaptive Daydreaming
03:54
|
|||
Watched you leave me in your former place
Satisfaction smeared along your face
You don't need me, I don't need you finally
I don't want this hanging over me
Heard you moved out right across the road
Heard she's cool and smarter than she knows
Did she help you cut your boxes open too?
Wish I never had the chance to know you
Would you believe me if I said I miss you
Do you believe me when I lie?
What if I told you it's a moral issue
Would that make it justified?
Alright
Nail your handmade paintings to the wall
Keep your daydreams, matching retinol
I don't know the place that you call home anymore
Every wish I made I know I'll pay for
Would you believe me if I said I missed you
Did you believe me when I lied?
What if I told you it's a moral issue
Would that make it justified?
Would you believe it if I didn't miss you
Sorry about the times I've lied
I've always known that I'm a moral issue
One day I'll be purified
Alright

Arachnophobia
03:28
|
|||
you said i oughtta try a different tuning
so i guess in part i owe this song to you
the park was still the air was barely moving
we climbed on towers to swallow up the view
you asked me what i thought was in the branches
we watched the spiders tiptoe past our shoes
and wondered if they're on their second chances
and wondered if i've done enough or if i'll be a spider next time too
i could spin a web instead of lies
in lieu of hearts ill just leech from the flies
that crowd my head and blind my eyes
i'm tired still from staying up so late there
it's hard to sleep when you're away from home
but insects don't live long enough to travel
at least it's short enough to let things go
i could live my life awake at night
hiding in the corners safe from life
that fogs my brain and blinds my eyes
you're not scared of me
maybe you should be

Soda
03:35
|
|||
first time you had a sip you crinkled up your nose
but still you took another drink
we're getting older but it's all just dominoes
we're drawn like insects to what's sweet
i like you better than the bed i sleep in
you give more than i'm comfortable receiving
your silence always was the most revealing
quit concealing what you're feeling
you're the wind in my wings
you're the gust in my sails
salivate when i see ya, you're ginger ale
you're a billowing breeze
crave you more than my smoke
cloyingly sweet, you're just like coke
i hope you know that you're soda
you're soda
you're so delightful
your only vice is frosted white confetti cake
i guess we really never change
i'm always caving for that hit of dopamine
you're my repeated sweet mistake
i like you better than the bed i sleep in
you give more than i'm comfortable receiving
your silence always was the most revealing
quit concealing what you're feeling
you're the wind in my wings
you're the gust in my sails
salivate when i see ya, you're ginger ale
you're a billowing breeze
crave you more than my smoke
cloyingly sweet, you're just like coke
you're a beam of the sun
cutting through foggy gray
wish i could quit
you're tooth decay
you're the dust in my breeze
breathe you in and i'll choke
try to consume your overflow
i hope you know that you're soda
you're soda
you're so delightful

Sadder Days
04:11
|
|||
sadder days are for the boys
what can i say, i guess the others are for us
when i see you i see angels
when i cry we cry together
when i see you i see angels
when you cry i cry with you
saturdays are here and gone too soon
i think every day should kick off after noon
when i see you i see angels
when i cry we cry together
when i see you i see angels
when you cry i cry with you
take me away honey
take me away
when i see you i see angels
when i cry we cry together
when i see you i see angels
when you cry i cry with you

Anymore Anymore
03:04
|
|||
there's a hole that lives inside of me
it feels like it might swallow me
i don't wanna fight it off anymore
i can't get you off my mind anymore anymore
we walked to the ocean and took off all our clothes to swim
it makes you feel so small, don't you agree
a tiny speck forgotten in mother earth's cavity
the stars are infinite above me
your cross sits miles in front of me
i'm an insect crushed so easily
this black hole might be small comparatively

When Do You Know
02:55
|
|||
wore my shoes down scraping up the sidewalk
turning corners to the pot shop
down the road from where we got dropped off
that saturday we checked out
dripping years from every account
watching lines collect on our mouths
spreading downward at alarming speeds
when do you know
when do you know to let it die
it's starting to show
in the way that we talk, you and i
so let's stop, redefine
can't keep straddling this line
when do you know to pull in close or say goodbye
crispy air keeps biting at my fingers
slinking underneath my sleeves
we're walking fast because we're older
anatomically speaking
we're still living in a daydream
challenging our younger routines
it's a trial on a balance beam
when do you know
when do you know to let it die
it's starting to show
in the way that we talk, you and i
so let's stop, redefine
can't keep straddling this line
when do you know to pull in close or say goodbye
and it's unclear if we'd make it we stick together, no
i'm drowning here
we're alone and naked swimming in it, oh
you reappear and that's why
i'm ready to try cause i don't want to say goodbye

Class of 09
03:53
|
|||
you saw me skipping class
as you walked by me
you were really hauling ass
i found it surprisingly charming to watch you run
down to history
with a hole in the knee of your jeans
in the cafeteria
i walked by your table
thought about stopping by
my legs weren't able
they wobbled away from you
why can't my body and my mind find a way to agree
i see you and everything will fall away
fall away fall away
but i know pretty soon you'll be far away
far away far away
you are a bomb that went off inside of me
and i don't ever wanna scrub my walls clean
stood by you at the game
and we bumped elbows
could've sworn you held yours there
our hands in the shadows just twining like trumpet vines
searching for something to hold onto
a place in the sun
i see you and everything will fall away
fall away fall away
but i know pretty soon you'll be far away
far away far away
you are a bomb that went off inside of me
and i don't ever wanna scrub my walls clean

Pressure
04:20
|
|||
Wish I wasn't stuck on why
I spend my days now in a high to forget it
It's the pressure building up behind my eyes
My old friend, I need it
Saw you argue from your tower
Tried not to check back every hour
It's not easy
Cause we're fading and I'm losing my power
I miss it, I need it
And I know this is a cycle
Leaving Chicago won't change anything
And I know I'm in denial
But once in a while it gets through to me
Watched the curtains exhalation
They join me on my exploration
We're all breathing
We're alive but I'm still stuck on the causation
I'm searching, I'm reaching
And I know this is a cycle
Leaving Chicago didn't fix anything
And I know I read the Bible
But only denial and guilt followed me
I know I read the Bible
But only denial and guilt followed me

I'm gonna love you for a hundred years
Through suffering and celebration dear
Cause only you can make my lies come true
You can make lies real
You can make me feel
Like drinking wine in the shade all afternoon
You keep finding and reminding me
That you only can be kind to me
When you got with me and started dreaming my dreams
But darlin there's a gun in the garland
And you need to know
That the dream is not all dream
Room games and diamond rain
It's a fox hunt
It's an f stop
It's a ten acre wood
Outbound on a western train
It costs a quarter, man
Out on the border land
I can dance real good
Real good
A freight train rattles a chandelier
If we're like plug in reindeer
Whose cords can't stretch far enough to fly
We're gonna take a ride in the dirt
We're gonna die til it doesn't hurt
Then they can bury us side by side
Room games and diamond rain
It's a fox hunt
It's an f stop
It's a ten acre wood
Outbound on a western train
It costs a quarter, man
Out on the border land
I can dance real good
Real good
