One of the Living
01:54
|

"you just get sick of how they're living"
i think it again as you're digging
honestly i don't see you hanging around
wishing you were one of the living
a feeling you don't mind fogetting
you'll be forgetting it all.
you'll never get to know the middle
or the dog beat down in the kitchen
if only you were hanging around
to catch the flies that i've been missing
too busy thinking about beginning,
beginning is reliving.

Waiting on You
02:40
|
|||
i said "i'm bored to death
fresh out of confidence"
and you're knocking on my bedroom door
and i don't ask what for
now i can't relax
because i don't see you much
i'll think of nothing to say,
broken today
but when i see you standing there
with your hands in your pockets, yeah
i wonder why you don't mind
that there's always someone to stop us
and i've been waiting on you,
let the quiet things kill you
oh, and i've been waiting on you
to let the quiet things kill you
like they killed me too.
i think i feel too much
and forgot how to trust
wish i was lying on your bedroom floor
but what for
because when you see me thinking there
about the holes in my pockets, yeah
you'll wonder why i don't mind
that there's no one to love us
i've been waiting on you,
let the coward out in you
oh, i've been waiting on you
to let the coward out in you
she can see us through.

Dogbite
02:31
|
|||
i saw the dogbite on the back of your leg
must have put up a good fight
because i'm watching it bleed
and it's soaking through your sock
as you're running away from everything you've ever known
you've got some bad ideas up in your head, my dear
i realize why you don't run alone
when our worlds were spinning around.
now it's a white scar eating right through your leg
wonder on what night
you'll find it easy to leave
as we happen to be going through some pictures of you
back when you were a little kid
i saw you running through the park with your umbrella up,
tell me of all the funny things you did
while our worlds are still spinning around .
|
||||
4. |
||||
i found your buried bracelet
between the cushions of the couch
it sunk so deep, tangled in springs
but the braid never fell out
and if this is nothing it's gonna hurt.
i don't mind that the holes we dig
are filled with other people's things
let them soak through and stain your skin
if i just believed in chemicals and bus rides
i'd be empty from the inside
when it's in your eyes
you realize that if this is nothing
i could just die in your favorite shirt
and if this is nothing
it couldn't hurt .

Run With You
02:47
|
|||
i've been thinking about the ways
she's seen you change
into a new shape when i'm with you,
can't make a sound
if she's been running bound to you
but lately i've been figuring out how to get to you
with all the truth
hoping that maybe that's what you needed too.
i've been leaving a path of pink at my feet
been plucking petals with my teeth
keep my ear to the ground,
suspicious town for two
but lately i've been figuring out how to get to you
with all the truth
hoping that maybe that's what you needed too
figuring out where to run with you.

Deep Sleep
02:02
|
|||
i've been sleeping off a blank stare
you've got me thinking that i've done it all wrong,
were whispered secrets only hot air
or do you feel like you can only belong
to just this instance and it's useless to find
that anyone's arms are a safe place to hide?
when you're slipping through the darkness
you can't calm all the winds at once
so you turn off all your feeling
and find in time everything just rusts
so when you don't want me
it's just word on the street
and when i find out
i'll fall sunken asleep
but i don't want to just leave this alone
or i'll be leaving alone again.
|
||||
7. |
||||
you're just bringing me down and it's alright
you're just bringing me down then i'll be fine
just kicking stones on my way home
can't decide which way to go
yeah, i'm just wondering why i'm alone, yeah yeah
you're just bringing me down and it's alright
you're just bringing me down then i'll be fine
i want to rot these concrete teeth
yeah, they just fake the way they meet everyone
wish you'd remember each word that i'd mean to say
but i don't want to know anymore
that you don't want to know anymore
all i hear is the roar of that slamming door
yeah, yeah

The Water
03:39
|
|||
you still got church bells ringing in your head
you watch an old world blow from out of your window
feeling the fireball fading in your chest
living out murder and punching out the rest
but when you're feeling like that in my bed
i can't get over anything that was said
we can't get out of everything that we say
when we both know that we're all creatures of nature
just drinking the water
you got a little swig on the sleeve of my sweatshirt
soaks through like the blood stained ink of the dead dirt
that gets me falling in the mood of a sad book
"tell me where we're going,
don't you think i can take a look"
but when i'm feeling like that in my head
i can't get over anything that was said
we can't get out of all the things that we say
when we both know
that we're all creatures of nature
attracted to water
i've been thinking about the stones here sinking
into the river that you choose to flow down
oh, it's all in my head now
skipping stones from a muddy bend
that find an oasis
where love is an illusion
down under the water.

Entangled in Detachment
00:59
|
|||
i'm not myself today
got caught, lost in the rain
went back
found the hurricane in my eyes
spinning out everytime
it's hard now to forget
entangled in detachment
falling through the storm cloud hanging over you
that splits me in two

Ghost
03:01
|
|||
i got pulled out too far and then i felt removed
needed something to push my mind into
ripped the nails out and break the glue
stopped locking the door to my room
next time you see me, i hope we're both better off
a little more real, i know i try but it isn't enough
i don't want to rush it but i need you to be around
doing anything you can to make sure i feel less like a ghost
i waved to you through glass one summer afternoon
looking from the street up to where you paint is where i hide
away from me and somehow still inside

Imaginary Mountain
02:49
|
|||
i can't hold your beauty because i'm afraid there's no truth in it
always longing for a different touch knowing it's never enough.
it's like standing next to a mountain, standing next to only you
but i never get to only see you because you're miles away
from everything i need you to say
you're miles away.
i can't become familiar with you but i can't sleep without your face
the things we do.

No Sister
03:43
|
|||
i caught you crying in your brother's arms
he's spitting cherry pits into the vent of an empty room
while you get lost in it and when the feeling sits strange
then you know that things have changed.
you dry your eyes as he's picking his teeth
of all the guts you had left
no need to go over the rules, by now you both know
that you can see through the ways he explains
"you don't need anyone else to be brave"
you'd be swapping all the blood in your veins
to not need anyone
i guess you should have known that he could never know
what it means to be a sister like me
"no sister to me"
no sister burning in the sun
no sister burning up the son
like there's no sister in the son
like there's no sister of the sun
no sister burning in the sun.

Wildflower
03:06
|
|||
you said "there goes a tumbleweed kicking dirt up with no place to fall
who doesn't even know who to become anymore at all"
burning two fingers on a fireball.
i thought "there goes a bumblebee
buzzing circles around the babies heads
another wildflower picked out of a dirty bed"
and it's who you're kicking now in you sleep
not the people you're pretending to be
when you are too young to comprehend it
oh, it happens again.
i start to feel a little better about not talking much to you
i saw you falling like a feather, there's only truth in the things we do
like how we're messing around with the fact that we're just trying now to react
with the ones that just reject it
oh, it happens again and again
i don't think this ever really ends
you were the wind in my ear
you were the one that made me dear
but when you're finding out you're just the ghost of someone else
well there's not much more you can do
but let it happen to you
you let it happen to you
they're ask "what happened to you?"
