Cult
03:53
|

|
Staying in the car / Stepping on centipedes / getting calls on the phone
Says it’s not a cult / says just drink this blood / doesn’t really cost that much
Make you see / make you see through mud / doesn’t really cost that much
Says it’s not a cult / says it’s not a cult, it’s just the way it’s cut / says he is good luck, says he won’t eat you for lunch
Look at your game girl / look at your game
He’s wearing purple robes / he’s driving a stagecoach
He’s forgiving all my sins / I am starting to give in / til I kicked him in the shins
Who’s taking me to heaven / says it’s not a cult / i’m feeling like an adult
I think I’m joining in / it’s just the hand I’m dealt / I’m trying to get to heaven / I’m avoiding my way through hell / He says he is good luck

Detox Island

Talkin to tops of tree lines / Keepin my lovin in time / Tapering like a hem line \ Going through roads in my mind
I know that life gives me limes / Seeing you in the meantime / Running to you in beelines / Hanging up hopes on clothes lines
I’m workin 5 to 9 / Trying to make whats yours mine / Taking the car down coastlines / Your the sine to my cosine
It’s a good thing (We’re counting contacts crossing county lines)
In spite of everything (Keeping company in city lights)
It’s a good thing (Tangled in seatbelts just to pass the time)
In spite of nothing (Sharing stories on the subway line)
Delicate like a daisy / Walking of feet above me / Double the distance to me / Saturdays lookin sunny
Carry your voice on cassette / We’re actin like we just met
Sleepover on the sunset / Canopy in the corvette
The birth of outside minds / Throwing stones through boundary lines
The image of your will / Symbolism standing still
We create this place / Built the walls that keep you safe
Calm illusion / quick escape

Wax on my Candles
02:39
|
|||
|
First things first, yeah right when I wake up / pan on the stove, face up egg sando
next up load up the bowl as i scramble / feet out the door over the gold threshold
the screen one slams / cause the spring on its broke / just like me after i dropped a grand / throwin all of it at weed, broken sticks and a big tour / still no regrets, just a couple scarred elbows
can't go back, can't go back / can't go back now
i know i used to have a good handle / but it dripped like the wax on my candles / burning just to keep me from freezing / i know just how it seems, it seems, it seems so fucking pleasing
living on an island while i'm singing / throwing out my rocks, they're skippin, skippin, skippin freely / but something’s coming up here for it's feeding / i know i'm not alone so when i'm screaming / why does no one notice
what you see is all you get, but i could tell you how to forget it
can't go back now / i know i used to have a good handle / but it dripped like the wax on my candles / burning just to keep me from freezing / i know just how it seems

Education
03:57
|
|||
|
You’re calling this your life / but it’s seeming like a slow suicide / it is too good to be true / i know you
You‘ve got to get an education / to be the one remaining / unraavel me, i’m standing / at the top of your peak / use your long legs to walk in between
You love your empty entertainment and your pseudo elevated bullshit
The tongue knife is for cleaning the tongue (it’s for adults not for the young)
The tongue knife is for cleaning the tongue (for when your coffee breath has lost its fun)
The phone is full of people inside (When you pick it up they run)
The phone is full of people inside (when you hang it up they open their eyes)
I’m fleeing for my solitude / even though I’m told that it’s not what I should do
You will beg for a piece of my spirit / when I tell you you can’t have it

Comfort Food
03:09
|
|||
|
When you were making comfort food in the back room / and you were hanging bed sheets up in four bedroom / yeah, and we can make it something gold in the new home / and in the sanctum of that room where comfort blooms
Meanwhile at the ranch we’re ants observing ants / while the church bells ring the keys are exchanging hands / through the stained glass windows / shadows changing shape / sweeping up the dust left here by a prior faith
And you were making movies with the lights in your room / and you were flipping fragile things like they were made of stone / and you were making holy noise cutting up playboys / and you were skipping class to cut our hair in bathtubs
My community watches over me / absent deity / its okay to be afraid

Where were you when the floor caved in / I was outside sipping bathtub gin / heard someone slipped something in / tryna postpone the millenium
Didn’t know what the chemicals would do / we were sniffin glue from ‘92 / and i was hanging out the window, throwing up against the side
Were you there for the aliens / i watched their machine descend / thought maybe we could be good friends / I guess I was tripping
Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind / we start off the millenium listening to Third Eye Blind
And there’s a hand, my gentle friend, and give me hand o thine / I never saw a building fall til 1999

Beneath the Floorboards
02:26
|
|||
|
Beneath the floorboards of this room the school girls operate a diamond mine
Every card on the table is a queen of diamonds and the wallpaper howls at the moon
I paint a second smile on the Mona Lisa/ Are you the one that got choked with mistletoe?
The rougher the world gets around me / the sweeter I seem to myself / I’m sewing tiny velvet suits for bats
Smoldering like a fuse / the furniture was flecked with foam from the moon
I don’t know where to sleep tonight

Dark Horse Lane

I’ve done it again / next time I’ll know what to say
Harvest my attention / tell me you’re a gentleman / so lend me your ears cause I’ve got nothing to say / my life is what I set my gaze upon / to look away / from all reflective surfaces I think I’m losing teeth / my value is depreciating / I’ve done it again and I can see it coming now
Blushing / touching hands and feeling life is so appealing / we can break the ceiling / honey do you do that? Had an acid flashback / watching ashes fall down / happened in a small town
Driving over highways, flying / hold the wheel I’m crying / think our love is dying / are you even trying / are you even trying, tell me are you trying? Are you even trying?

I Won't Try That Hard
02:01
|
|||
|
Something in the way the sigh lets out is telling me I’m always gonna be here / I should ball my fists / figure my shit / I wish I could
But I won’t try that hard / I don’t know why I can’t just get myself to do it / something in the sky or in my blood is yelling at me saying I’m a loser
And nothing that you say will make her sway / I’m too fucked up about the future / if it goes my way / I’m telling you hey / I’m not just gonna sit and watch it burn
Honestly I never knew / I never knew / I swear to you / I’d quit my job today for you / today for you / I swear it’s true
Quickly put up a side wall in your office / always look up and down and left and right before you cross this / I don’t have an answer today / but I know I don’t need to swim or deflate
Something in the way you looked when you were looking at me
Something in the way you looked when you were looking at the ground

Green Walls
03:21
|
|||
|
Into the void we go / on hot air balloons / we pray to god the end is soon
You wonder if I am losing my mind / it was just left behind
The light is where you left it burning / my skeletons are teaching unlearning / the screen will always be saturated / by the malfeasance they created
You will try to find me / I’ll be between green walls
I found serenity / and now the ants are observing me / I’m a mirror magnified by the veins the beating inside / the walls are closing in and I let them / the microwave / the window shut / this hemisphere is shutting off and dripping down your neck
And I’ll go home and I’ll get clean / and I’ll declare I’m queen of everything
And I’ll go home and I’ll get clean / I’m not alone I’m something in between
