Melanie 04:03

Melanie you sway to and fro tell me how does the window hold the indigo inside of these living room walls our memories can often times be problematic like when three different witnesses to a crime don't recall the same things happening and Melanie when you are a mouse you have to dig down to get out of your bed i don't want to be a body in a bed somebody let me out of this box you can come on over Melanie

No One Looks Sexy When They're Crying 03:02
lyrics
buy track
it's so hard to be cocky when i feel she doesn't want me i am broken down embodied i am a bad cup of coffee i'm the fishing lure flying and the fish on shore frying i am the armpit made to lie in not the body made for climbing no one looks sexy when they're crying you always catch me bragging from the back of my Volkswagen i look back at you in the rearview but you're never looking at me too when i try to try trying the only thing that i am finding is i'm a shoulder to rely on but not an outfit you could try on i'm not dangerous or violent i don't get to be invited in no one looks sexy when they're crying

I Am Alone, I Am In Pain 05:40
lyrics
buy track
i am alone, i am in pain with nothing to cling to with no one to blame my cheek to the window my fist to the rain i am alone, i am in pain i used to have ideas, with passion and soul embedded like diamonds, that lined all the roads the child yells, "why god?!" the lion just knows i am in pain, i am alone i've been orange and brown i've been pink and blue the most beautiful downpour i ran through it with you i've been black, i've been sky gray rising up your chimney if i had it my way, you'd just lay down with me is it true we walk backwards when we follow our hearts is it just to distract us from falling apart is that why i feel foolish whenever i hear your name is that why i'm alone and i am in pain

Everything 04:12
lyrics
buy track
We woke up needing water badly The glamour glad to be missing The gossip of our losses Tallied with abacuses Well let’s take hell to breakfast Let’s get something to eat Hanging by our eyelashes Skeletons at the feast My knuckles bled white Guillotine thumbed it’s nose at me I clenched my fists so tight Silliness made me so happy my palms bled red like the square on the center of the backboard You’re like an enzyme, the way your Chemicals move faster than before I’ve got a haircut scheduled This afternoon at 5:30 How do I know which thoughts are special Enough to think of as worthy I’m planning a trip to the mountains For you and I on Wednesday morning So many people I can count on And every single thought is important

Lazy Ghosts 03:26
lyrics
buy track
use your own madness to eliminate your sadness i ain't got no more routines to try out i ain't got no talent to flaunt the ghosts in my houses make no effort to haunt babies don't need experience to have their own nightmares beautiful monsters won't you isolate or usher in the light beautiful monsters won't you isolate beautiful monsters won't you isolate or usher in the light beautiful monsters won't you isolate or usher in

Depersonalization 03:19
lyrics
buy track
unlock me while you're walking up to meet me look into your eyes until your eyes are all you're seeing shoot your shot it's getting dark drive, reverse, neutral, or park your mind is buckled in while your body's busy leaving depersonalization is that my stomach that's achin'? or is there some other place where my stomach is stayin'? depersonalization are these my hands that are shakin'? is it me or someone else that's holding them in front of me? that fact that i can't tell is not the least bit comforting your thoughts aren't so innocuous your heartbeat's getting faster life feels a lot like looking through binoculars backwards every traffic light gets stuck between yellow and green when you walk you don't feel steps you're downright levitating how often do you revel in a touch from someone else's cheek at night you are imprisoned and you cry yourself to sleep depersonalization is that my stomach that's achin'? or is there some other place where my stomach is stayin'? depersonalization are these my hands that are shakin'? is it me or someone else that's holding them in front of me? that fact that i can't tell is not the least bit comforting like a crab telling it's shell to come over back to it you're yelling to yourself it's much to heavy to move it

Anvil 06:24
lyrics
buy track
the older i get the more vicious i want to be the darks of my eyes, the food in my teeth this boy has been vetted and they're hoisting a triangular lateen it's just empire maintenance that give a fluid maneuverability but it's not comforting, it's just boring and dry like making the switch from coins to slips you're still witnessing a crime boundless, curving endless, deserving what you've found is substantial what you're missing it can't fill it can get you there like a camel make you so scared, make you scramble it's blank canvas, it's red flannel makes you anxious and dismantled warm you over, like a candle put you under, like an anvil a convincing impression all the best ones never had one lesson the hairs on the back of your neck carry branches of semantics like the alphabet when you answered my question i said it with you aloud in my head i broke down at the dinner table about an hour after they pronounced you dead sometimes we don't have a choice but to hurt when we can't hide why does it have to be so hard to find peace when we're alive spacious, all embracing exhaustive, amazing certain colors make a promise you found faith in their harmonics so far August has no answers there's no hang time, only landers it's the angle you've been plotting circumstantial, corner pocket you could trust you'd, got a handle then it crushed you, like an anvil

crush me sweetheart bury me in the sand blanket me in pressurized air hold me in your hand when it seems like love is not enough we can be mean to each other too oh god, we're gonna have to be grown ups soon kiss me i'm dying i'm drunk and i'm crying my makeup is running ain't my suffering so funny when it seems like love is not enough we can be mean to each other too oh god, we're gonna have to be grown ups soon midnight astound me under the moon i'm drowning no ears to listen no one here to give permission when it seems like love is not enough we can be mean to each other too oh god, we're gonna have to be grown ups soon sunshine flowers lying down we talk for hours laughing and dating all the things you've always hated when it seems like love is not enough we can be mean to each other too oh god, we're gonna have to be grown ups soon when it feels like love could make you puke we can be mean to each other too when it seems our love is long forgotten we can be mean to each other like we've always wanted oh god, we're gonna have to be grown ups soon
