tattoo xs and os on my hands
lost in the mind or method of another man
once you have me please dont lose me again
i wish you coulda seen me sleeping thru
a colorful night with no ideas of you
but once you have me please dont lose me again
you never had me, please dont do this again
im not coming down.
lose my focus and i lose my thought
ill open the wound if you pour in the salt.
but once have me please dont lose me again
you never had me, whyd you choose this again?
im not coming down.

Where to Begin
03:03
|
|||
you tell me where to begin
you tell me when to stop now
you tell me how they got in
i’ll show you how they got out
i don’t wanna think twice
i just wanna be young
write yr name in the sky
i’m calling you
you show me how to begin
i show you how to get out
we’re hanging sheets to the wind
we’re digging shit in the ground
i don’t wanna be wise
i just wanna be yours
but with the sun in your eyes
you can’t see i’m home.
every night i hear you crashing thru
i see a ring, you swear you see it too
you don't wanna see me.
you tell me how to begin
i tell you how to get out
now i don’t care who you’re with
and you don’t care how i’m bound
i don’t wanna think once
you don’t wanna take turns
and with the stars in your eyes
i never learn

Dream Baby
01:27

baby i dreamed
about a person i could be
about a place for you and me
baby i dreamed
about a place called silver springs
about the pleasure panic brings
baby i dreamed
dream dream dream dream on

Giraffe
02:37
|
|||
i put on yr perfume
so id feel like someone else
i opened a wooden box
looking for cigarettes
i moved all the furniture
i wanted a point of view
i buried whats left of me
too deep inside of you
just cuz you have it dont mean that youve earned it
and just cuz youve earned it dont mean you deserve it
oh, giraffe.
i kept all the oyster shells
abused them as metaphors
now that yr somewhere else
now that im someone else
just cuz you have it dont mean that youve earned it
and just cuz youve earned it dont mean you deserve it
oh, giraffe.

Look Me in the Eye
02:19
|
|||
where you been?
i wasn't looking out for you.
yr getting thin
& so perspective pushes thru
i changed my mind
i'm not waiting to die
so take yr time
but dont look me in the eye
cuz you cant look me in the eye.
its not my fault
it never rains when i come home
i built a wall
one of us must be alone
i changed my mind
i'm not waving goodbye
apologize
but dont look me in the eye
cuz you cant look me in the eye
i'm on the stage & now the play
(a part to play, apart to play)
is making darkness out of day
(who builds darkness out of day?)
but you cant find a word
and you cant look me in the eye...

Is There a Wind?
02:28
|
|||
walking down an empty street i hope your lips are shaking
talking through a fool like me my voice is ever changing
is there a wind
blowing my way?
i need to overcome the fear that no one else will love me
freedom is a hollow ear that rings the bells above me
is there a wind
blowing my way?
is there a wind
blowing my way
asking me to stay?
i won’t stay here as long as you’re going
make a plan dear there’s breathing then there’s knowing
is there a wind
blowing my way?
is there a wind
blowing my way
asking me to stay?
i won't stay here as long as yr glowing
i'll make a break dear, there's breathing then there's knowing
is there a wind
blowing my way?
is there a wind
blowing my way
begging me to stay?

Hudson (Revisited)
04:11
|
|||
i took the train
the one i thought would head yr way
but the sunlight through the stained glass doesn’t catch my face
i won’t get off
just wanna see how far it goes
just wanna see if i’m the bottle rolling up the road
i put yr food on a breakfast tray
to keep you from running away
day after day
i beat the color form the grey
i’m finding other shades of color
in this place
my roommate sleeps
like he’s getting paid in dreams
so i recover in the cupboard when i’m weak
i put yr food on a breakfast tray
and then the coffee comes
and i go away
i put your clothes on
so i’d look like you
i’m not seeing things
quite how you want me to
and i want to take you back to hudson
i wanna show you all these clouds i’m busting
there’s no chance i’m leaning in
there’s no time for squeezing in
a puzzle full of pieces
i’m a one among zeroes
we could never be heroes
and now you’re breakfast’s getting cold
i’m a mess, gimme coffee & tv
i’m absolutely nothing so i’m fucking free
the cherry at the bottom of the glass
is every single moment til i fade to black

28 Lovers Lane
02:57
|
|||
28, i decide to get in shape
tired of being dumb
28, hungover's just a taste
tired of being young.
goodbye to agony,
good boy for coming clean
yr too kind.
drunk on a trampoline,
speak metaphorically,
close yr eyes.
i see a ring beside me
i hear my voices rising
see my hanging in a loop of light.
28, i decide to be okay
with whatever i become
i've wasted hate
to lost love and losing face
a fear that i don't belong.
but i see a ring beside me
i hear my voices rising
singing goodbye to go-betweens
lovers lane, live beneath, life me up.
i'll speak metaphorically
but live fucking honestly
say yes to love.
but i see a ring beside me
i see no point in hiding
see me hanging in a loop of light.

Could've Been Anyone
02:53
|
|||
wise up take a look around
there's no sense in coming down at all
rise up, yr fist like lips
tell me about the pain yr in, i know.
and it's strange to think that now
i'm hardly in the crowd
when the faces i see
could've been anyone.
you paint virginia's face
nobody takes yr place tonight
but i need a man to touch
me where a woman's not enough
and it's strange to think that now
i'm hardly in the crowd
when the faces i see
could've been anyone.
could've been anyone, it could've been anyone
(couldn't be anyone, it couldn't be anyone)

Narcissus
03:24
|
|||
a tree is growing in my basement
i don't know how long it's been there
& i'm not trying to erase it
i'm drifting gracelessly in place here
so i will climb up the branches
& i'll weep among the vines
& i will find new perspective
as i fall from power lines
but i will swing
there’s a rose that grows within me
i feel its nettles push & pull while i sleep
but as it blossoms i feel nothing
i'm crushing at the petals while they quietly become me
& i will climb through the garden
& i'll watch as time unwinds
& i will plant in my own image
a bed of narcissus in kind
& i will dream
there’s a light that glows within me
despite the darkness creeping out from underneath
& i will fight the flight of mornings
until i’m used to landing firmly on my feet
& i will slip out the window
waste my body with the clouds
& i will land on every rooftop
as i tumble to the ground
but i will sing, i will sing, i will sing…
