Everything

I can’t quite stand this maddened beauty
It hurts my head and it hurts my mind
I laugh until I’m blind
I laugh to keep from crying
I laugh and then I’ll die
But play on, leave me out of it
Fill up this place, if I could drown you out
Then I would drown you out
If I could keep you out
Then I would keep you out
Everything plays back
Everything repeats
Everything I lack
Is everything you need
Going down and down and down
Past everything for the last time
Been thinking how I can keep things moving
But it’s been too long and my memories just sink
I can’t hold on to everything
But I’m so hard to convince
To wave and watch them sink
I won’t go back, I’m not listening
I’ve been attacked by a pretty thing
And I’m afraid to sing
Afraid of what you’ll think
Afraid of when the know comes crushing in

Fake
02:58
|

|
You’re a fake. Did you want someone to notice you so bad?
Did you wake up Monday and just wanted to look bad?
I keep looking back and I think I was someone
Did you blame your childhood and the way you were laughed at?
You could make it better if you’d only be looked at…
I keep having dreams where it seems I was someone
You’re so proud of her!
There’s salt in your veins that you can’t let out
It’s such a little world
You can’t speak but you can stand out
Did you wake up Tuesday wish for some kind of call back?
“Better love me quick because I’m starting to go bad.”
I keep in between, living clean, and I like that
You’re a fake but thirty-five has made you a new man.
Did you wake up Monday and just wish you could go back?
I blame other kids for the things that I can’t have

You Lose
02:15

Hey you, you lose
I’ve been waiting round for you to learn to tie your shoes
You lose
I’ve burnt all of your little papers, but kept the truth
And I hope you’re better now
What is it like to be cold, to be crushing?
The years of our lives reduced into nothing.
What do you do when you’ve swallowed all your time?
What do you do when you’re alive?!
You lose you lose you lose
Hey you, you lose
You’ll never understand the kind of peace I’ve found
You lose
You’ve learned to tie your laces but it doesn’t really matter now

Don't Wait

She wastes time ironing her clothes
You say “it’s time to leave,” she says “shut up I know
Just don’t wait for me I’ll be there before you know it
I’m just slow these days”
Don’t wait, don’t remember, I’m still here if you get the chance to come back
She’s in the living room, she says it’s cold inside
You say come on you’ve got no reason you have to hide
She says I’m sorry boys it’s just the way I am
I’m just cold these days
She says you’re boring me with all your pretty lies
But she has a lot of you she keeps behind her eyes
She says if you’ll bear with me I’ll bear to be alive
I’m just slow these days
Don’t wait…
You see her sleeping in the darkness through the door
She has a calendar but keeps it on the floor
She says I’m careful but sometimes I get confused
I’m just cold these days
She came home said she felt a presence in the house
Put the boxes down, swore she’d turned the porch light out
It was an early winter night, it’s colder than in town
I’m so slow these days
Don’t wait…

You Need It
02:24

|
You need it, I’ve gotta make it
You need it, I’ve gotta make it
You need it, I’ve gotta make it yeah
Got all this blood in my mouth
The kind I can’t live without
Anymore
Look I’m a good little machine
I say what I mean
About everyone
God, I just want to lay down
Lay down on the ground
And think about everything
Got all this blood in my mouth
And now I can’t live it down
Anymore

Baby Song
03:42
|
|||
|
Baby wants to speak everything she can repeat
Everything she can repeat
You knew her a long time ago
Baby it’s ok but now you cry when I go away
You’ve started crying when I go away
Becoming some kind of cure
She’s back for a week and she’s right when she says we’re all crazy
She’s tired of this place, she draws on the walls in the basement
I can’t recall anything, I was there, but I don’t think
I was there, and anyway
She was just a kid
Baby wants to try them on, I don’t think it’ll last long
I don’t think it’ll last long
On this kind of day
She’s back for a week and she’s right when she drives us all crazy
You try to walk past and she hits you with the spine of her magazine
Baby wants to get some sleep, just wants me to leave her be
Just wants me to leave her be,
doesn’t care where I go
I think about a summer road, and I remember years ago
Thinking I was getting old
And lost in this place

I’m too deep now to walk away if I come home and I don’t like it
It’s too late to go back now, you never shoulda tried it
Why did you do that? (who’ll ever love you now)
Why did you do that? (you had to figure it out somehow)
Why did you do that?
I’m to deep now to look away if I wake up right beside it
I’m sorry I’m like this, you shoulda known, I never really tried to hide it
Why did you do that? (who’ll ever love you now)
Why did you do that? (who’m I gonna follow now)
Why did you do that?
I’m too deep now, what can I say
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?

Not That I Know Why
03:16
|

|
Not that I know why
Not that I’ve found a good reason or think that I’m right
I’m alone all of the time
But I don’t mind
I guess I’m surprised by the one you chose
But I’m not inclined to be one of those who say they know
What’s best for you all the time
I don’t mind
And everywhere I go
I find someone who knows you better than I ever will
You know my mind you know my mind….
So welcome back to the working day
I’ve got to get up in the morning, get out of my way
I’m waiting for my chance to find
Some peace of mind
But hey look at you
Sleeping sleeping sleeping in the middle of a crowded room
What should I do what should I do what can I what should I do
If nothing comes to mind
If nothing comes to mind
If nothing comes to mind
I’ll just do it all again
You know my mind…..and I don’t mind

Boat
02:58
|

|
Don’t compare me
I’m not ready
I’m waiting to see what becomes
Of the rest of us
Of the rest of us
Build me a glass house
Then watch me
I’ll spin there for you for a day
Spin in the haze
Spin through the haze
Build me a train
So I can ride out through the dark underground
Are you hungry?
Are you thirsty?
Do you need someone to blame for the calm
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
When the light goes away?
Hey we could stay out in the dark of this town
Sometimes I decline
Sometimes I decline
Sometimes I decline
Decline everything

Great Time
03:40
|
|||
|
If I do the thoughtful thing and try to stay alive
If I blot out everything that still makes me cry
How do you feel?
What a great life
What a great time
If I do the awful thing and run for my life
If I can’t make sense of things alone, then I haven’t tried?
What do you mean?
What a great life
What a great time
If that lady talks to me and I try to laugh it off
If I have a thousand words but I grin and shut my mouth
Is this how it feels?
What a great lie
What a great time
If the fear blows round again at night and I can’t shake it off
If I can’t make sense of it alone then it’s not my job
What a great life
What a great time
What a great life
What a great time
What a great life
What a great time
What a great life
What a great time
