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

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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
