Exaggerator 03:05
lyrics
download
Am I a bitchy baby? Am I lying through my teeth? I was beaten with a sword, but its blade never left its sheath So I'm taking sheets of paper and I'm painting every bruise And I'm putting them in frames to exploit myself to you Exaggerator, let me see True is every word you speak We can't see mind to mind, but we can still see eye to eye There is no lie on the sheet Oh, I wish I could show you, baby, I wish you could see Everything inside my mind, then you would find a truer me So try and strip the skin off every word that I pronounce There are things that you've been missing, there are things that should be found

Don't Think 04:29
lyrics
download
I thought I'd tell you, yeah I thought I'd let you know That something you love has been lost I don't know when it's coming home You're in your brain too much You never look outside 'Cause there's a veil nailed to your face now And it's robbed you of your eyes Don't think I just don't get it, no I'll never understand Because it never has been hard to be A reasonable man You're in your brain too much You never look at hers That's why I'm foaming at the mouth But I've been holding back these words Because I know that if you hear them The chains of chocolate around your necks That you both fashioned for each other But you don't remember when They're gonna harden into something that You think feels just like lead And you'll be tugging on each other's 'Til you both wish you were dead

Slim Slow Slider 04:47
lyrics

(Written by Van Morrison) Slim slow slider Horse you ride Is white as snow Slim slow slider Horse you ride Is white as snow Tell it everywhere you go Saw you walking Down by the Ladbroke Grove this morning Saw you walking Down by the Ladbroke Grove this morning Catching pebbles from some sandy beach You're out of reach Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac You're gone for something And I know you won't be back I know you're dying, baby And I know you know it, too I know you're dying And I know you know it, too Every time I see you I just don't know what to do

For Myself 02:42
lyrics
download
I feel that I've lied But never an untrue word did I write Maybe if I could shut my brain off I could breathe easier and take some of the strain off I'm shifting words around a page Trying to align them with receptors in your brains But when I detach myself from you My mind can sit down, take a breath, and spit the truth Forgot I was doing this for myself

If 05:59
lyrics

I don't know how to say it It drains me nightly Oh, hold me tightly I wish you could Orange light downstairs, orange light downstairs I wish you could There is nothing Nothing I can do I can't stay much longer It's gonna kill me Oh, how you'd thrill me If you only could

Nothing Is Changing So What Do I Do 02:55
lyrics
download
I love when you text me drunk Because you act like you love me and it gives me hope Your fingers rest inside my best friend's hand And with my fingers outstretched, I forget where I stand Brother, I'm sorry This much is true But nothing is changing So what do I do Oh yeah I'm back bitches, I'm back where I was And I just hate where I am 'cause when I want someone They always face me but they have their bodies turned And all that I ever get is just a mild burn This is all that you're gonna get from me Maybe a shift in our timelines and you'd be with me Instead I watch from the sidelines, hope the game ends soon And while he touches your body, I inhale your fumes

To See You Move With Me 03:05
lyrics
download
To see you move with me, our temperatures so strange Would be a dream and every move represents liquid And in a photograph, it cuts off by your hand Stretched so low, and what's implied, it turns me on I wanna feel the flesh on someone who moves separately from me I want their voice to fill my ears, I want my name spit clear And in a sacred, primal moan lies the end A kind of closure I've been waiting for for so long And in the pale, off-white pigment of your skin I'll find my hand and understand what I am here for

untitled 04:40
lyrics

My virgins ears increase the volume of the wall you helped me build Still I can't blame you, it's my fault, I never tried to resist I left my head back in your car, and thought you'd water my heart But now the circuit's not conducting, and I know I'm the faulty part Now I know what not to do (Let you past my tongue) A heart-shaped lens that can't see truth (Just what I want) So what when what I want is you (And you're not there) Spots in my eyes look like you I'm gonna build my friends a treehouse so that we can sleep safe To high places will we go I'm gonna build myself a tower to speak louder and be heard 'Cause I've got things I'd like to say

You're in My Throat 03:13
lyrics
download
I find the atmosphere has changed around here recently, and I don't think I like the changes I find myself where I began, a place called nowhere, and it's where I've been and where I'm heading I never keep you out for long, and if I could, I'd have my mind to myself all the time, but You've had me since I left my frontal cortex back in your text, word and intent marred in sleep I've pushed you too far down my throat (Written by Billy Corgan): By starlight, I'll kiss you And promise to be your one and only I'll make you feel happy And leave you to be lost in mine By starlight I know you As lovely as a wish granted true My life has been empty My life has been untrue
