So they clipped your wings and left you for dead?
I've had a million of em just like that
Stuck down in the dumps I unclipped the sack and I packed em up
Oh just let me go
right there you got a fire girl in your stare
Seeing all kinds of things that ain't there
Pain came left to right that hallucinating beauty with the blues?
She's mine
I could never let myself down
Far along as you've slipped by now
Caught up in a cage of self-doubt
I could barely let you live this down
What's a thief with no intention to take
all the little things that keep you sane,
clean-cut, fucked and runnin,
far far away from the life you lusted
He just might be okay
Tell you everything your mind dont say
All those dreams forgotten when you're awake
don't you miss the way you could dream all day with a smilin face
I could never let myself down
far along as you've slipped by now
Caught up in a cage of self-doubt
I couldn't merely let you live this down

Death Rattle

If only had you known the peace I had to show
Would you raise the dead from your heart or your head?
We're all set to roll
"Those poor souls"
But where you went wrong
I bet you'd laugh and smile along
Just to get along.
The true sidewinder has no memory
Just back and forth to infinity
I bet you'd revel in the mystery
Before your dreams make a mess of me.
Dilated pupils and veins stretch the skin
No way to know which dimension you're in
Clutchin the antidote
I drop the vial and on we go
Nice and slow.
Out in the desert where the sun draws the line
Good men would fall down on their knees most everytime
But if they've paved a road to hell on the way
I'm sure i'll see you down the trail some darker day

Life Under Lamplight
04:18
|
|

Sweet pangs of a bitter lips embrace
Sweet Jane better sour up someday
Like you got every eye sheddin tears for a bent rose
The real price of a dime is in the shape of her hips, though.
Disdain ain't a little thing deep down
One slip on a brittle piece: knives out
Armed with stories from books she had taken for gospel
He was made out a martyr for crimes of a rascal
Finer points to make
Little boxes prone to take
You got an edgeline left to trim
It's shredded under the rake
So when the shoulder breaks,
It's a brittle bone that caves
So what don't fit slips between
and that's slow, slow ache
Live a life under lamplight where have you come from?
Take the depth of a text get vexed up in breadcrumbs
Turn your nose up away from the scent of a love drunk
Count in up in pages, the number? Your life sum.
Lights out babygirl
Close your eyes to a bitter world
Knives out, poisonous thorns
Shield you from
Your brothers scorn
Finer points to make
Little boxes prone to take
You got an edgeline left to trim
It's shredded under the rake
So when the shoulder breaks,
It's a brittle bone that caves
So what don't fit slips between
and that's slow, slow ache

Might have to watch these things unseen
Sweet Beverly
As good as it seems I won't let you flounder no more
But hold it down
The pesky lungs might scream and shout
Can't fake it now
As hard as it seems I won't let you even the score
A rusted switch gets flustered when pressed to flip,
But you got much more underneath your dress now don't you miss headtrip?
A careful mind, the occasional sunken eyes
A shallow grin wards off speculation prone to your shy type
A typical night a trip to the backroom to throw back your head
to drown out a voice that grows loud instead.
Might have to watch these things unseen
Sweet Beverly
as good as it feels I wont let you flounder no more
Hold it down
the pesky lungs might scream and shout
They can't fake it now
Bet I can see right through that facade you've put forth
You look great when you're grinding your teeth and blushed
Now how we gonna make that last when you're always in a rush
we can mince words and call this what it's not
make me believe it's a good clean easy fix when the pheen eclipse my thoughts.
Darlin I can't wait that long for death
So why don't we speed up the process
Blazed but im blissed lickin speed off my lips like sugar
It tastes like sugar
The slowest burn.
Blazed but im blissed lickin speed off my lips like sugar
It tastes like sugar
The slowest burn.

Everything I Need
03:27

Everything seemed different at first
You called me on the phone before revealing who you were
Just the type to quench my mighty thirst
You sacrificed the single of lily seeds and ferns
One thing led to another of course and one foot in one out the door you're crying on your Bon Iver t-shirt
Why can't you just be everything I need,
Honeybee
Please just don't ask me where we're gonna be.
What you think you can't see
Oh that's everything to me
What a dream
Everything seemed different before
You told me you were quiet yeah made damn sure I'd been warned
Silence like that shook me to the core
I wish I could be comfortable when I'm talkin to the floor
Well it's just us you're a little behind my past caught up passed down the line
we're talking like there's more to life than time..
Why can't you just be everything I need?
Honeybee
Please just don't ask me where we're gonna be
Who you think you can't be
Now that's everyone to me
What a dream

Hollow
04:23

No life is lossless what lip service solace might you gain from filling my ear?
No vice is costless a trade away for less thoughtful distractions that vacate the mirror
My manic simplified, rose hips and caramel eyes we're breaking the mold in my head
What i need you to realize is there's so much more to life than wondering how much more there is
Some might call you daft
Lies ain't hard to swallow
Real you is gone today
Pray he's back tomorrow
Listless, limp and lame
Eyes like broken bottles
Douse that trembling flame
Dress your vessel hollow.
One sip away from some bottomless patience a well that won't ever run dry
Let's not get hasty the bottleneck cadence of your breath has left us behind
What's worse than "not bad", what a stick can mark in the sand, might strike a chord with the sea
But you're drowning everything
Some shotgun revelry
A race where no sound soul competes
Some might call you daft
Lies ain't hard to swallow
Real you is gone today
Pray he's back tomorrow
Listless, limp and lame
Eyes like broken bottles
Douse that trembling flame
Dress your vessel hollow.

Somniloquy
02:23
|
|

Don't you feel like a hand left too long underwater?
I was led back to your bed like lamb to the slaughter
So you seemed well-conceived and I asked for your number
I awoke next to a wolf and he tore me asunder
Laughed aloud and loomed away
At last I'd found my place to stay

An Unpulled Plug
02:11

Remember when you called me by the wrong name?
And i stormed outside the door without my keys
I sat beside the car until you came,
Watching planets and stars
trading gas and dust between
without a cause
And you can't even trust me
...trust me with the dog.
(Dollars and bottles and pockets and scruff)
It's alright
(Bobbing for compliments, calling your bluff)
Take it easy
(Hours of arguing, flowers and stuffed bears with baby blue ribbons and such)
I know it's just a matter of time
(Dollars and bottles and pockets and scruff)
You left because
(Bobbing for compliments, calling your bluff)
My voice ain't pretty enough
(Arguing hours and hours for what? I'm not your rock, I'm not solid enough)
For you it's just for fun
(Just go.)
Wait.
Cause you know it's all in your head
The things I've said
The candles lit
The shrunken heads
It's a love comatose
Unresponsive to logic, sticks, and stones
Or so the story goes

Dip
04:19

|

We should take a dip
Then do something that's beyond what we both can imagine
I could grab the fireworks and soda all the cookies we could eat make you nauseous but be cautious this is not Dawson's Creek we could sneak away, you could bring a eighth I'm not gonna smoke but baby you meet me by the lake.
You got love in the same room
that you used to.
Hours and hours and hours
Makin em love you
Well I never found the evidence
that's written on my epitaph.
All my wishes and petty regrets
their all just etchings on the wet cement.

The Weight
03:28

She got her hand planted behind the back for the trigger pull
Her laugh sounds like a one hand clap when I screw the joke
She makes noise when I hit the point like an animal
She kicks up all the dust from the undone canticles
I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons
Backbreakin, forehead sweatin bend and break before I shrug
I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons
Mind trippin, Heartbeat skippin no I never get enough
Applied lip bliss twistin your hips so magical
you know the head trips tighten my grip on the manifold
But be warned the heat treats the bored in Babylon
Too informed, a lick just before I drop the ball.
I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons
Backbreakin, forehead sweatin bend and break before I shrug
I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons
Mind trippin, Heartbeat skippin no I never get enough
