why are you leaving
I'm not offended
my hands are still shaking
yesterday i lent you
too many secrets
i hope you forget em
i am relieved
but i wish i knew you better
stared through all my sentences
you hated when i cut my hair
i don’t know why i loved you at all
always animosity
when i asked you to kiss me
i don’t know why i kissed you in the first place
why did you waste all my time and then decide to love me
why did you waste all my time and then decide to love me
i don’t know why i loved you at all
i don’t know why i loved you at all
i don’t know why i kissed you in the first place
my hands are full of tiny spoons to feed your hungry ego
and if I hold them my whole life will you please let me know
why you didn't care about me when I liked you back
why you didn't care about me when I liked you back
i don’t know why i loved you at all
i don’t know why i loved you at all
i don’t know why i kissed you in the first place

Last Kisses
02:23
|

I bit my lip in a daydream
spoke up in a memory
Nobody's what they seem
I’ll lie if you let me
I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling
I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling
Your head down
Look around
You won’t find me
You want it
I got it
But don’t mind me
Alright
In the light
You can’t buy me
Goin up
You can come
And you’ll find we
Started out like a tall tale
Thought we all knew the ending
Tripping over the small scale
Didn’t know I was pretending
I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling
I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling
Your head down
Look around
You won’t find me
You want it
I got it
But don’t mind me
Alright
In the light
You can’t buy me
Goin up
You can come
And you’ll find we
started holding tighter gripping tender kissing with intention when you mention that our last for now is coming soon
if I had given you last kisses from the first and through the middle there’d be little I could do

Dips

the yellow sun is setting into mellow purple blues and all the while
something bout the water makes me melt it’s getting hotter now and I'll
keep it slow
Oh I know know know know
There’s salt on my lips
Your hands on my hips
And I’m taking sips from the ocean
I’ll keep kissing the sweet in your lips
the salt at your hips
'cause you’re takin dips in the water
Dum da da dum da da dum da da ride the rhythm of the waves it is easy
the current under us is busy tugging at our feet we're floating breezy
out to sea
come with me me me me me
There’s salt on my lips
Your hands on my hips
And I’m taking sips from the ocean
I’ll keep kissing the sweet in your lips
the salt at your hips
'cause you’re takin dips in the water
my fingertips are turning into raisins
and too much sugar makes you sick
but for now let's take a dip
There’s salt on my lips
Your hands on my hips
And I’m taking sips from the ocean
I’ll keep kissing the sweet in your lips
the salt at your hips
'cause you’re takin dips in the water

Seasoned
02:42

Everybody’s laughing at you
Everybody thinks what you say is stupid
Seasoned words of the wise one plucked out of the crowd of
Desperate fish in the big pond pretending to be proud
And trying to say something important
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Everybody knows it’s nothing more than talk, talk
i bought you a new hat
cause your head got so big
Seasoned words of the wise one plucked out of the crowd of
Desperate fish in the big pond pretending to be proud
And trying to say something important
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Everybody knows it’s nothing more than nonsense you are nonsense you are
Making it up as you go along
you are making it up as you go along
making it up as you go along
you are making it up as you go along
(etc)
Seasoned words of the wise one plucked out of the crowd of
Desperate fish in the big pond pretending to be proud
And trying to say something important
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Everybody knows it’s nothing more than
Seasoned words of the wise

checking
the time
inspecting
the air
hopelessly
searching
for something you
care about
they’re about
to ask you
who do you want to be
what are you doing here
are you living a lie here
what if you grow old and die here
eyes riddles with lies telling you why
you're alive
if i liked being alone maybe id have some thoughts of my own
where is the map to
i found it i want you
to give me your company
it’s just a matter of
wait what was i saying
do you want to grab a drink
tell me the truth
if the truth means I'm better
than i am in my head
i hate what i want
because i can't have it
i want your company
i want your company
who do you want to be
what are you doing here
are you living a lie here
what if you grow old and die here
eyes riddles with lies telling you why
you're alive
if i liked being alone maybe id have some thoughts of my own
i dont want to think
i dont want to know
what you think of me
unless it makes me feel better
i dont want to think
i dont want to know
what you think of me
unless it makes me feel better
i want your company
i want your company
who do you want to be
what are you doing here
are you living a lie here
what if you grow old and die here
eyes riddles with lies telling you why
you're alive
if i liked being alone maybe id have some thoughts of my own
oh oh oh
eyes riddles with lies telling you why
you're alive
if i liked being alone maybe id have some thoughts of my own

Dum da dum da dum dum da da da
Dum da dum da dum dum da da d
Dum da dum da dum dum da da da
Da da dum da dum da dum….
zipper up your winter coat
frozen river frozen boat
snowflakes falling in your eyes
watch out or they’ll crystallize
watch out or they’ll crystallize
watch out or they’ll crystallize
you followed the fire to a house in the woods
that’s not where you live
but maybe you could light a fire in a house in the woods
that’s not where you live
but she might be good
that’s not where you live
but she might be good
wo-wo-woah
put your hat upon your head
when did you get out of bed
icicles are hanging low
you picked a swell time to go
you picked a swell time to go
you picked a swell time to go
you followed the fire to a house in the woods
that’s not where you live
but maybe you could light a fire in a house in the woods
that’s not where you live
but she might be good
that’s not where you live
but she might be good
wo-wo-woah
Dum da dum da dum dum da da da
Dum da dum da dum dum da da d
Dum da dum da dum dum da da da
Da da dum da dum da dum….
oh
you followed the fire to a house in the woods
that’s not where you live
but maybe you could light a fire in a house in the woods
that’s not where you live
but she might be good
you followed the fire to a house in the woods
that’s not where you live

Take My Time
03:08
|
|||
something simple crawling back to me
and i got so many reasons to be
‘cause you got everything i’ll never need to keep
and you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away from me
you gotta do everything
you gotta be everything
Something waiting wanting me to speak
I spend every second stuck in memory
Looking for who I’ve been and who I’m gonna be
and you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away from me
you gotta do everything
you gotta be everything
finally from a home of particles patiently parting and paving a path for me to never see
can’t run away from what’s right in front of me
and I want it bad I want it back I want it now
and I can’t have it can’t hate it can’t hold it now
creating a cage where I can be loud
where i can be loud
and you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away --
and you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away
you take my time
take my time away from me
you gotta do everything
you gotta be everything
you gotta do everything
you gotta be everything

Specimen
02:39

she wears sunglasses
to hide the mirror in her eyes
keeps rocks in her backpack
she gets dizzy when she flies
her heart is made of flowers and her hair is made of straw
she’s never shown her metal bones since all the neighbors saw
She is made of starlight and she does not understand
why mama says she can’t be in the marching band
knuckles bruise
blood runs white
rap on the glass
you’re a specimen
knuckles bruise
blood runs white
rap on the glass
you’re a specimen
every damn night
she’s lying awake
she’s got no love
they all say she’s a fake
water will rust up her pipes recycled from the factor
she’s never shed a real tear no she’s just an actor she
keeps her mind locked up tight she wears the keys on a chain
she won't speak a word don't bother asking her name
knuckles bruise
blood runs white
rap on the glass
you’re a specimen
knuckles bruise
blood runs white
rap on the glass
you’re a specimen
knuckles bruise
blood runs white
rap on the glass
you’re a specimen
knuckles bruise
blood runs white
rap on the glass
you’re a specimen

Famous
02:56

I’m not getting any taller so i better settle into these shoes
I have no idea what I’m doing i just hope i find something to amuse me soon
And I’m not too sad i just don’t know what to do
If i die before i’m famous
what’s the point of anything
I’m too sentimental to get
rid of my old gumball ring
I bought an ugly sweater
cause i want something to lose
I wanna buy a muffin
but i don’t have an excuse
If i die before i’m famous
what’s the point of anything
I’m too sentimental to get
rid of my old gumball ring
Only clever thoughts can go in my fancy notebook
I imitate your tiny writing cause it makes you look intelligent
If i die before i’m famous
what’s the point of anything
I’m too sentimental to get
rid of my old gumball ring
I am only calling to say
it’s not hard to be by myself

Tired of Me
02:25
|
|||
You're gonna get tired of me
before I get tired of you
and wish I was somebody
somebody else
I wish I was made of cheese
so you could be plain with me
like the crackers we left on the shelf
Sometimes I tell you you have real nice eyes
you like it now I've said it once or twice
but after a while you're gonna realize
that all I have to say is that you have nice eyes
you're gonna get tired of me
before I get tired of you
and wish I was somebody, somebody else
I wish I was made of cheese
so you could be plain with me
like the crackers we left on the shelf
and this doesn't I think we should be done just yet
I just wanna let you know that what you see is what you get
you may think I've got a lot of baggage buried underneath
but I share all of my baggage with the strangers on the street
so I know
you're gonna get tired of me
before I get tired of you
and wish I was somebody, somebody else
I wish I was made of cheese
so you could be plain with me
like the crackers we left on the shelf
when you tell me that you like my smile I'll make you tell me why
when you ask me why I love you I'll just smile to reply
and it's not because I'm cute it's just that I don't know if I love you I just know that I don't want you to go
So I'll wait
for you to get tired of me
before I get tired of you
and wish I was somebody, somebody else
I wish I was made of cheese
so you could be plain with me
like the crackers we left on the shelf
Everybody!
You're gonna get tired of me
before I get tired of you
and wish I was somebody, somebody else
I wish I was made of cheese
so you could be plain with me
like the crackers we left on the shelf

Time to Fall

Minuscule paintings of thumbtack dreams
Clutter my brain walls
Closing in on me / Ayayayay aha-aha-aha
Pick a number one to infinity / Ha ha ha ha ha
You choose right you’ll love for eternity / Ha ha ha
You will see
La la la la la la laaaa
Time to fall back in love / Da da da da da da
With myself / Lalalala Lalalala lalalalala
Eyes will crawl
I will save them
Top shelf
La
Na na na na na
Somebody told ya you look like Dionysus
God of wine and theatre and religious ecstasy
You wore a crown of ivy held a gilded drinking cup
All dressed up in a perception of a girl holding a drink
La la la la la la laaaa
Time to fall back in love / Da da da da da da
With myself / Lalalala Lalalala lalalalala
Eyes will crawl
I will save them
Top shelf
Di di di di di Di di di di di Di di di di di
A love of mine-a-once upon a time
Sent a message down my spine
To show me my intention
I’ve invented my detention / aha-aha-aha
Time to fall back in love
With myself
Eyes will crawl
I will save them
