i know the seasons by the days that im alone
Oh in fall you come home, but by winter you grow cold like the ground
and in summer, youre never around
but by spring, youll be forgiven and youll walk back to me
and in your smile theres something sweet
but theres a lie right behind your teeth.

I HOPE I SEE
02:26
|

And with all I've wanted
is it all I've been?
And with all I've carried I
s it all a dream?
And with all that's happened
Is it what it seems?
When my beds unmade
Can it be made again?
I Hope I See
When you're running blank
Don't you think a thing
If night is young
It ain't right to leave
And with all that's happened
Is it what it seems?
If your shoes untied
Can it be tied again?
I Hope I See
Cause when you're growing blind
From all your health concerns
It ain't up to me
To tell you what you're worth
I Hope I See

BLACK SNOW
01:48
|
|||
When I was young,
I was dumb,
And I was happy,
Now I feel crappy,
I guess that's too bad.
Sleep all day,
Get away,
But when I wake up,
Don't wanna get up,
Just to fuck up.
Buried my soul,
In the snow,
In the black snow.

SALT-LICK

my teeth are bleeding
your teeth are bleeding
must be there's something
in the water we're drinking
i think you gave it to me
when you licked my teeth
i think you gave it to me
when you kissed me to sleep
my mom says it's cause i'm tired

ALCHEMY
01:09
|
|||
I'm so love-struck
I thought I could perform
Thought I could perform
Alchemy
I'm so dumb-struck
I was too wishful
In my dumb thinking
Just get rid of me
Who would care if I fell down those ugly stairs
I could stop pulling out all of my golden hair
Maybe then I would have no need to brood
Maybe then I could stop thinking of you
Called in sick and
Smoked a pack and
Made fun of every-
one

FORGIVE ME
02:06
|
|||
it’s in the way that you think of me
when your mind starts to feel so lonely
but you’re trying so hard to remember the way
that you once had to say
that it wasn’t okay
anymore
now the lights don’t shine my way
but it feels so right to remember the way
that you hate what you want
and you want what you hate
but you open your mouth
but there’s nothing to say
anymore
just a benchmark dry spell
pencil me out
i got mud in my pot
chock-full of doubt
so forgive me
forgive me

TUNGSTEN
03:42
|
|||
feel my gums go numb
it's hardly bothersome
to know i'll rot with grace
gone but not erased
my new friend, let me tell you some old news
my conscience is my favorite bruise
and i'm getting used to it
in the tungsten night
hollow thoughts have might
a mangey coyote
quivers inside of me
my old friend, let me tell you something new
my conscience is my prettiest muse
and it's getting used to me

SUMMER EYES
01:31
|
|||
It was me & you & salt & sand & spanish songs
The night we danced & sang & we were young
The palms blew in the sun the morning tide rolled in
But oh summer eyes
Deep blue sea
Bleached white shells
This time travels through me
The plane cast off the sea the motor roared
The land began to shrink & so did my mind
With dreams of sun-kissed-skin & surfs & tides washing in
But oh summer eyes
Deep blue sea
Bleached white shells
This time travels through me

SLOPPY JOES
01:38
|
|||
if you packed my lunch would you put in apple slices
would you hang out with me by the rainbow slide at recess
if the bullies stomped on my sandwich would you buy me a sloppy joe
would you help me if during craft time my hands were covered in glue
i feel like im in elementary school when i'm with you

DEATH IS PARALLEL TO _
ALL THOSE SUPER WELL TO _
DO _
AND TO BE THAT AND TO _
CONCEIVE THAT IMMACULATE _
CHILD OF THE ELLIS ISLAND
BALLROOM_
A STAIRWAY TO AMERICA _
DESCENDS AT PORT AND _
HANDKERCHIEFS _
COME OUT
I TRIED TO TYPE TRIED _
BUT TIRED ON MY PAGE _
THE DYSLEXIA OF BRAINS _
FAILURE TO OPERATE _
AND AS I FALL ASLEEP _
FOOTCANDLES NEVER FAIL_
TO REMIND ME OF MY _
HOPELESS AVAIL

PALE MORNING
03:11
|
|||
there is no one in the house
there is nothing in my eyes
there is nowhere to feel pure
my clock has lost all sense of time
there is rhythm in routine
but there's none inside of me
there's a melody in the sky
teasing me that i can't sing or fly
i wrapped cold chains
around my face
waitied for rust
to eat away
at these thoughts
inside my head
hidden spiders
in my bed
worry me to death
to death.

GOOSE KILLING
01:45
|

maybe if you picked up the phone we would be alright
but you had to sleep with a goose for the night
how will you be happy when you're feeling so sassy
when you say you love me
but in his bed you fall asleep
it's the curse of the young girl away from safety
i can't give you your expectations of comfort baby
being bipolar's a bitch
i love you - get out of my face!

WAITING
02:07
|
|||
Waiting in the car that you'd give up so fast
As I throw up chairs
And mop up dares
And grin
After they pulled out
All your ugly teeth
You still found a way
To bite through me
I wish that I didn't have to be such a baby
Or that those nights spent holding my stomach in your bed
Weren't the times in my life I felt my best
So what's the deal with all your stupid shit
I know damn well that you've been listening to all my dumb old fits
So answer the phone don't just leave it alone
I want you to feel as miserable as I do sitting at home
When will I have the satisfaction
Of knowing that I'm doing better than you
Slimy past ugly interactions
Maybe I can finally get past your obvious reaction
It's pretty clear it's your loss
