And I could try to tear my tshirt for some kindling
You could whisper,
But know that usually bothers me.
I once dropped my legs off a ledge in Kentucky.
I just sat back in peace and watched them dangle.
It wouldn't have bothered me if I lost my balance while they were intertangled.
I was desperate then and I'm desperate still.
I'm desperate still.
An ounce of pain could lead me to you or turn me the other way.
Do I know the Lord?
Well, I hardly know myself.
I'm my own backbreaker, never cared taker.
It's not pleasant to admit.
Goddamn, I'm cold.
Will you finally warm my soul?
Well, the red in my eyes really brings out the blue.
I said "Goddamn, I'm cold.
Will you finally warm my soul?"
I once dropped my legs off a ledge in Kentucky.
I just sat back in peace and watched them dangle.
It wouldn't have bothered me if I lost my balance while they were intertangled.
I was desperate then and I'm desperate still.
I'm desperate still.

Sobriquet
03:13
|

When do I start to lose my hair?
When do I want to weep?
I guess I don't care to know.
Let me leave
Give me the sobriquet of "I don't wanna stay"
Cause I don't wanna stay
And also fuck my name.
Maybe you'll need a tissue when they dig my grave
But if that's the case,
Then you're all okay.
Live in the dirt
I don't wanna be heard
Never wanna be heard anyway.
Off the rails
Love never fails
It never fails anyway.
I guess I don't care to know.
Let me leave.
Give me the sobriquet of "I don't wanna stay"
Cause I don't wanna stay
And also fuck my name.
Maybe you'll need a tissue when they dig my grave
But if that's the case,
Then you're all okay.
Give me the sobriquet of "I don't wanna stay"
Cause I don't wanna stay
And also fuck my name.
Maybe you'll need a tissue when they dig my grave
But if that's the case,
Then you're all okay.

Balding
03:07
|

I'm watered down to a foil
And I'm content to be
I just need some rest until February.
At least I have a window into life
And a moment of time to realize
The fleeting nature of this all
I've lost my grip on the wall.
Now the living room's going grey.
My sister's havin a kid,
But I'm losing my will to live
Again.
My sister's havin a kid,
But I'm losing my will to live
Again.
What if I'm balding?
I know I'm bruising.
I wish I was passed out on the hardwood floor.
What an enigma.
How fascinating.
On the way out, I shut the door.
My sister's havin a kid,
But I'm losing my will to live
Again.

Stick Figure
02:43
|
|||
Talk about love everlasting.
Well, I can't.
I'm so reserved.
You were flawed, but I drew you as a stick figure
So that there was nothing to see
And I've been empty. I'm always so conceited.
Fill me with lead and see if I sink.
I keep having these dreams about you.
Not like daydreams or fantasies.
I fall asleep and there you are.
Is that infidelity?
You were flawed, but I drew you as a stick figure
So that there was nothing to see
And I've been empty. I'm always so conceited.
Fill me with lead and see if I sink.
When my last air bubble pops
If I float or fall,
Not all is lost.
You were flawed, but I drew you as a stick figure
So that there was nothing to see
And I've been empty. I'm always so conceited.
Fill me with lead and see if I sink.

Dog Whistle
01:24
|

I'm worried for summer.
You're worried for Fall.
To pass the time, I try to
Understand God
Or we could
Sweep up the shit
Traced in the house
From the bottom of my shoes.
Oh fuck,
It's all deafening
And I'm the dog whistle causing it all.

Insomnia
03:10
|
|||
It's so forrested.
I'm falling quiet.
There's not another life in sight.
I live off toothpicks and try my best
To be the least fervently dressed.
I'm on the roof
And I'm on my toes
I got a look and my lookaround shows.
I need a watch
Or any kind of clock.
I need a reason for my engine to stop,
I play the keys
And I play the lock.
I got a couple sidewalks to walk.
I got a TV
And it comes on at 10.
I gotta lay around til then.
So I'll fake insomnia
Say I hope it goes away soon.
Try to get a hold of ya
Then pass out in the back room.
I play the keys
And I play the lock.
I got a couple sidewalks to walk.
I got a TV
And it comes on at 10.
I gotta lay around til then.
So I'll fake insomnia
Say I hope it goes away soon.
Try to get a hold of ya
Then pass out in the back room.
I drink a bottle and have a double dose.
I got a shock coming up from my toes.
It keeps me complaining,
Takes my motivation,
Slices my ankles,
Makes me unstable,
Smolders my grain field,
Freezes my lake
And starts my groan.
So I'll fake insomnia
Say I hope it goes away soon.
Try to get a hold of ya
Then pass out in the back room.

Sunbather

Sunbather,
I hope you burn out everything.
I hope you burn out everything
And you like all the loss
But I left you with a
Middle finger.
The one without a ring.
I hope you burn out everything.
You can fill in the holes with the sand you left lying around.

Salt Water
03:45
|
|||
I'm a very very very bad swimmer.
Every breath's another gulp of salt water
And I'm poisoning myself.
More and more I'm reminded
That I'm a very very very bad swimmer.
I wish I was just in a puddle
Then my feet would only be muddy.
I'm okay with muddy.
I know you'd still be against that.
You'd look me dead in the eyes and say I'm ugly
As if I'm ugly
But I'd clean off my glasses and count my assets.
I noticed I'm balding.
I knew I was balding.
Someone has to take the first dive.
I'll admit: I don't get it.
I'm a very very very bad swimmer.
Every breath's another gulp of salt water
And I'm poisoning myself.
More and more I'm reminded
That I'm a very very very bad swimmer.
