Mansion

i’ve been starting to go crazy without you
love, it’s a lonely life
and the places we went
don’t look electric anymore
and i told you so
are you gonna be the death of me
june
saw the mansion in the dead dog’s eye
no way he’ll get another life
unforgiven as the future goes
for infinities untold

I Hate Summer

i hate the summer cuz you're never home
and I'm not in school
i stay inside, surf online and smoke alone
and look at
pictures of you
scowling with a cool crew
and I don't think I'm a thing like them
i hate the summer cuz it's lonely times
don't get out of bed
i wish i could chill at the kame house
with krillin and
fight the government, work for the man
do these benzos
pictures of you and me hanging out are cool
and you're scowling at your camera
and at me, the thought gives me the tinglies
and at the show you looked so bored
don't wanna go outside with the grass' scent
don't wanna go outside where families spend
expendable income on mint ice cream
just wanna stay in here with mint figurines
don't wanna go outside in bare feet
it's terribly awkward at the beach
do I wanna get high and and say hello?
and at the show
you looked so bored
i saw you
you looked so bored

casey come and see me
i’m sick and I am queasy
i’m feeling like a burned down house
who’d understand forever
if only you could just right now
but now i wanna tear you up
if you wanna be on my mind
then you better be so unkind
if you never come i’ll grow inside
i know it’s hard to make arrangements
for the loneliness in everyone you know
and who you are
the torn up kite that caves and comes around again
and shies away
casey come and see me
i’m sniffing up the white white dust
i’m gonna make a million bucks
i’m all about your eyebrows
i’m all about a lot of things
but you could see what’s in my head
if you wanna be on my mind
then you better be so unkind
if you never come i’ll grow inside

Dead Mountain Dog Eye
03:51
|
|||
|
my baby’s back in town
with that vulture on her arm
she takes the long way home and tells me not to speak
all of the world’s her anesthesia
dig up the dead horse
dig up the sky

Satellites
02:59
|
|||
|
we should be under the satellites
all this time
our lives are not our lives they stand in front of us
i don’t mind
no one could wake you up
...there’s no you
the thought it reaches in me and it ruins me
a lifetime
ruins me a lifetime in the trance
i didn’t wanna tell you
you didn’t wanna know
i didn’t wanna stay here
you didn’t wanna go
i didn’t wanna stay here
i didn’t want the lights to fade
but lights all fade
they go away
then your arms get wide, it’s a lonely sight
cuz no one’s gonna love you
and you know the world’s gonna let you down
and you won’t find a new one
and i saw you once through the looking glass
fumbling with fate to find
another knot you can’t untie
a sympathy that won’t erode
for an anesthetic snowman

if you could be that happy
living in a shadowy place
i'd live inside your mattress
keep it warm while you're away
and when I showed up to the party
i brought you a plant to paint
you said you'd keep it handy
it didn't deserve to die that way
trust is hard for someone who's losing their close ones
treading upstream
beginning again with suffering
i want you to know that i cherish you
and I can cover ya
the whole wide world is coming right at ya
i left my gloves at your place
now my hands have been cold for months
but i'd like to visit someday
see an artist on the run
trust is hard for someone who feels inadequate
when i see you
i wanna smother you be my mother too
i don't care to know what got so exhausting
but i can cover ya
the whole wide world is comin right at ya

Chasm
03:13
|
|||
|
the kids get along
but i can’t talk to you
or anyone
what am i supposed to do?
and i had a plan, i swear it was the tallest in the room
the part of me that parted all the waters inside you
burns down
but here, back in your arms
i can be still
if we want to we can change the world
but it’s as well hanging around
it don’t hurt if it don’t matter
even when i tell you why
you still wonder
i worry where we’re going now
you look like the fire
burning the tree
but it’s water that’s reflecting you
in what you said
in what you’re sold
you give up what you are given
even when you try to hold
it still runs out
it’s worth it just to know it’s there

can i just spend my life with you
or some of it?
we’ll go to space where there’s no lace to untie
everyone here is haunted by
the things they won’t do
but can i just spend some time with you?
it’s raining on me all the way to your house
where i can’t recover from the world
i search for the cure in my senses
they lead nowhere but the broken home of self
cuz we are less than what we were
and we are staring at the sun
all the world for you?
all the world?

Warm Arms
03:26
|
|||
|
you’re like a ribbon they wouldn’t break
and i was sposed to come in first place
you’re like a river that wouldn’t let me sink
but i can’t tell anyone a thing
don’t it make you wanna go so far
with warm arms
will she wanna stay up all night
inside the fire?
i can hardly hold in my hands
as she takes my breath
& i still miss being her shadow
& i still miss being her friend
& i still miss being her shadow
it’s the kind of thing that never will end
don’t it make you wanna go so far
with warm arms

purity don’t worry
we will hang your head
if you wanna starve yourself
be all american when you do it yeah
do you say you don’t when you want to?
purity don’t worry
don’t you even start
i could see your interest leaving
falling all apart
when you said it’d stay
now i gotta go burn myself down
& it won’t be long
& her every word led me so astray
in another life as she let me lay down my head
doubting and full of remorse
she could tell I was veiled, sold to the world
so she let me know
then she let me...
purity don’t worry
we don’t have a chance
looking like a long flight
crashing into someone’s hands
then you gotta go
do you say you don’t when you want to?
