Blame
04:16
|
|||
Keep preaching something that you're not
Like the fruit, grown sweeter as it rots
Brush your teeth and lose a bit more blood
Find your peace, it don't do you know good
Nobody's gonna blame you
If you can't save yourself
Piles of pictures won't arrange themselves
Crowded cut-outs need a little help
Fillin spirals with whatever's left
Missed the paper and got stuck yourself
Nobody's gonna blame you
If you can't save yourself
So sober up
And take the time
A quiet minute to spread out your one track mind
I swear it gets easier, even if you don't want it to
'Cause what would you do then, what would you do
Because what would you do
When you find out the treatment works
Suddenly you're not tortured
Would it still be worth it
To find out you're safe, even if you won't be the same
If you're somebody different, who are they gonna blame
Nobody's gonna blame you
Nobody's gonna blame you
If you can't save yourself

Sometimes
02:46
|
|||
Hold your whole world on small shoulders
You don't lock your doors at night
You don't really care who comes inside
Not worth blaming, it's just planes
Dragging lines between the clouds
Splittin cracks across the sky
A cry bellows, ringing so loud
The earth split beneath the ocean
Sea sank a little deeper
And the siren crawls to surface
Where she weeps a little clearer
Oh, if only you could hear her
I love you, sometimes
There's still broken glass on the floor
But I'm too thick to let it cut me anymore
Oh, give me one more time
So I can pretend one more's enough again

Driftwood
04:10
|
|||
I'm sand and saltwater
Balanced on driftwood
Singin at strangers
I'm piss, and I'm vinegar
and I'm whiskey breath
Cloggin your airways
And ain't you just the one that makes it so easy
You're burnt, dry soil
You're raging drunk
Driving home late
And you're big, disassembled
You're therapy
I can't afford it
And ain't you just the one
I wasn't mad enough as a kid
So now I'm mad at everything
Shoulda done
Shoulda been
Shoulda known how this would end
Now she's bitter, and she's rough
And she won't be soft
Like porcelain
And ain't you just the one
I'm sand and saltwater
Balanced on driftwood
Singing at strangers
I'm piss, and I'm vinegar
And I'm whiskey breath
Cloggin your airways
And ain't you just the one that makes it so easy

Spooky
02:52
|

She needed your love like a hole in her head
And that's exactly what you gave her, ain't it
I feel okay,
I feel okay, but it makes me feel crazy
I feel okay,
I feel okay, but it makes me feel lazy
Can't get it right if nothing's wrong
I needed your love like a lump in my throat
And you gave it with your hand wide open
I feel okay,
I feel okay, but it makes me feel crazy
I feel okay,
I feel okay, but it makes me feel lazy
Empty apartment
Swear it's haunted
Own your karma
I feel okay,
I feel okay, but it makes me feel crazy
I feel okay,
I feel okay, but it makes me feel lazy
Can't get it right if nothing's wrong

Manage
03:34
|

I am just a lonely man
I'm harmless
Where you off to after dark tonight and
Do you need somebody to protect you
I can watch you
Where you going now and
Don't be scared, I'm just tryna say hello
and make a friend
I'm all alone tonight and
Don't be rude, I can take no for an answer
I'm a reasonable man
And I can manage
Somehow
I am just a lonely man
I'll keep you safe
From everything and everyone, you
Won't be sad for long
You'll learn to love me
You'll be happy once you see that I'm
The only one who truly understands you
I have watched your for so long
And now you're
Mine to stay
and if I can't have you
I'll make sure that
No one ever ever will
I'll manage
Somehow
I'll manage, somehow
Look so
Pretty
Can I
Keep you
Broken
Beauty
I can
Save you

Big Honkin Van
02:30
|
|||
Unfolding like a map on the dash of your van
So much harder to read than the lines in your hand
Narrow between your shoulders, keep it steady as I can
Learned to walk on your back, just to run when you stand
We ain't goin anywhere, let's take our time getting there
Bent your spine like a hill, too tall for me to climb
You turned into a mountain, laced with snow covered pines
Couldn't get to the top, no matter how hard I tried
Had the peak in my sights, you'd knock me down every time
We ain't goin anywhere, let's take our time getting there

Bodygrabber
03:22

Found yourself in someone else's story
Pray don't look too close and see you don't belong
Turn the page and tumble through the lines
Cut wide open
Caught and cornered, pitiful imposter
What is it that's got you so afraid
Shrunken, weak, I see your hands are shaking
Close it, don't leave it open
Shut the book and bled right through the pages
New beginnings, never really new at all
Dirty hands can't write a cleaner story
Cut wide open
Safe to say, there's still some evil inside of it
Pages yellow, how your spine has frayed
Hide it all behind another cover
Close it, don't leave it open
Close it, don't let it open

Friction
03:42
|
|||
Once I knew that you were gone
I thought I would find some comfort
But the knot won't come undone
My stomach still burns with hunger
I will shed you from my skin
Paradoxical undressing
Sweating off this sticky film
Frozen tongue will count my blessings
Never fell, Pedestal
I will crack you from my spine
I will never stop it turning
'Round the olive I will wind
Til the friction starts it burning
I will chew you from my nails
I will bend you out my fingers
Song inside an empty shell
Fragile little sister stranger
Cradle curse, taken first
Death or birth, which is worse
Light up her face
Like you've set up a star on your stage
Tongue in her ear
Like you're spilling out ink on a page
Sure is mature
For a girl of such a young age
Reach through her ribs
Like you're grabbing for the key to your cage

Take Care
02:35
|
|||
Sealed up in a jar and lidded tightly
You were opened impolitely
And your honey sweet spilled out and covered the floor
Scooping dirty water back into a pot that's broken
Take those broken pieces, you can plant them in your garden
Where they'll catch the sun and glow
Take good care of yourself
We're all bad at it at first
Taste of salt and sugar follow one after the other
They both reveal each other to coat your tongue
And keep your body whole
Fog and rain will cool your skin and temper
Step out in brighter weather and you'll glisten
With your loss to find you home
Take good care of yourself
We're all bad at it at first

Insight
04:12
|

I'm not worried about the people outside
I'm not worried about walking home
I'm not worried about you
I just want to leave alone
I can't even see with my own eyes
Lids nothing but dark on the inside
Protect me from something I despise
Take a breath, take a trip on my insight
Crash against my calves 'til I'm soft
Sedimentation builds atop of the slough
Take a hammer to it, chisel it 'til it opens
Pry it apart until the light shines through it
Break it 'til you see god
Put a stopper in it
Keep it soft and keep it secret
Never tell her that you mean it
'Cause you might start to believe
Keep it bundled, keep it hidden
Tell your daddy he's forgiven
Even though he never listens
Like he never let you leave
Wash away the layer of skin that he'd seen
Asystolic bath water rushing the drain
A masterpiece of raised flesh all over her body
The rest of it sat in a heap and rotting
Like the hole in your gut
The foolish dream of a child
You can't outrun it
Can't rise above what completely surrounds you
Can't you see it, you look just like her
I'm not worried about the people outside
I'm not worried about walking home
I'm not worried about you
I just want to leave alone
I can't even see through my own eyes
Lids nothing but dark on the inside
Protect me from something I despise
Take a breath, take a trip on my insight
Headache, down the middle, split both ways
No mess, haven't seen her out in days
Knock louder to see if she's okay
No answer, there's nothing left to say
