Pink Tiger 02:09
All of these comforts All of these lies and fire pit philosophies Hoping for answers Talking with God Stepping through tide pools Barefoot, old oaks stretch to the sunlight Skulls in the sandstone Lay down on the moss Maybe she just wants to see Something out there just like me In the sun And ever lasting complex friendships Skinny dipping in the sea Friends or family, friends are family, friends or family? Maybe it’s over, maybe it’s not Something you built up, then simply forgot…what to do! I never said, I love you too

Melatonin 5G 01:51
I love a good college town Half finished books just laying around And some melatonin on my tongue I just want to sit here and Watch something dumb It’s how you killed the day; living in a place like this I severed all my ties With all the stupid things that Went wrong in my life.. And I took a trip with some friends Somebody joked: “That’s how America ends,” It’s how you killed the day; living in a time like this Melody put on a show I promised her, I promised her, I promised I’d go! Everyone talked through her songs Everyone talked through her songs It’s how you killed the day; living out a life like this

Cloud Hotel 02:08
I have hardly known your voice And you have hardly seen the world Or those who live in it You were always on my mind And I was always in your thoughts Or dancing beside you I was so in love with you On the floor I said these words My knees they had buckled So keep it inside the Cloud Hotel
4.
Perfect life, we’ll make it happen Haven’t seemed to get there yet Peace of mind Happens all the time I will never place that bet Settle down Settle down I supported what you went through I believed you all along Peace of mind Like a cup of cheap wine A polluted kind of love Settle down Settle down Tell him lies and then he’ll quit Maybe he’ll get over it But I’ll be around
5.
Rookery 01:20
Baby's breath on diamond shoes I never lose, I never lose... I don't care I don't mind All that she told me and all that I heard Look to the sky That's blocked out by the birds You don't love You can't find Babies in the crow's nest All out of reach from their mothers Who sacrifice wings and dive bomb the world
6.
Mother Theresa is dead, her mother Theresa is dead I arrive late to the wake and borrow my brother in law’s sports jacket Funeral home, holding her tightly arm in arm Walking around this weird museum trying to find the body We go up some stairs but a sign hanging there says: “Staff Only” Around, around, around, around There she is She’s so small Made of wax Not scary at all Smiling The coffin glows You kiss your thumb You touch her lips You let her go She can’t hurt you now We walk outside My uncle says She looked beautiful What a job they did The sun is out Awkward photograph Of us on the lawn in cul-de-sac Give the sports jacket back The baby cries I say my goodbyes
7.
Lately I’ve been dreaming up a storm Oh life’s like that, blackberry thorns Trees are bending Trees are dead Pink moon, jet trails.. that blaze across my head Father left me in the leaves Gentle boughs of cedar branches on the beach Her eyes are black and sea foam green Oh life’s funny and she’s always been …..waiting, waiting Lately I’ve been living through this storm But you’re clipping back the sharper thorns Burning coffee in a can In your nightgown barefoot on your land Found you sleeping all alone Book half open on the bed like a stone You whisper something in your sleep “Oh you’re funny,” you just keep …waiting, waiting
8.
Deodora 01:12
When I was scared of dying And you held me in your arms and... Five crows sat with their eyes closed On the branches of the Deodora
9.
And they tried to live both lives Impossible for them to do that right? And the clock ran out of time Impossible, when there was no more light Their bodies close and their hearts Through the windows they stared At the blank wall that’s not there And then she said in despair Anxious love, anxious love
10.
Dirty Spoons 03:34
Sometimes a mountain Won’t climb itself Sometimes a novel Collects dust on a shelf I loved you then for those reasons Walking down Lakewood Alone in your thoughts I’m glad that you left him You’re glad that you’re not Alone together in that apartment Two Americanos Two dirty spoons I sat there thinking Thinking about you I loved you then in that season The bride should get all the glory
11.
Surfer's Ear 02:04
I cut my finger on an oyster shell That I skipped across the beach Found a maple leaf to wrap it in The cut was pretty fucking deep Walking back I’m bleeding out Like dripping ice cream in the heat If I fainted here right now Would find me in the trees? I believe that shit would go away How did I forget the dumb cliche Was is it so hard for me to say I love you? That’s when I got close to heartless But she harbours a desire to do good things Where it’s possible to navigate by feel
12.
When you told them everything How much lighter it seemed Cherished what was possible hours in the slipstream... Always seemed to get what they wanted Always seemed to push them away Then you dropped the money on something Scratching all the tickets that way Only want a winner today And they said, “Impossible!” For you to pour out the wine Can’t they jump on someone else? Can’t they make up their minds? Spilling your guts on the sidelines Spilling your guts on the stage When you’ve got fuck all inside you You’ll finally have something to say
13.
Heroic Dose 02:18
Push it away Push it aside Push it around Back to our love I didn’t care I didn’t care I didn’t care Back to our love I didn’t mind I didn’t mind I didn’t mind Back to our love Can’t you see what’s wrong with me? I did not do what everyone would believe For us to go on For us to go on For us to go on Back to our love Can’t be the same Back to our love But you didn’t mind Back to our love
14.
OK Soda 02:25
Did someone make her sad? No it was some bad ad Wet cigarette that’s in the light of the moon Used to be beautiful Now he’s just suitable He’s in his cubicle The boss coming soon Oh the pressure To communicate it all with It’s a matter of opinion It’s a matter of a license / lifetime (Priceless / Mindless) They’re so high brow Life coach inside her says Nouveau riche tend to spread Warm soda on their beds on cool afternoons Keep all the fortune there Keep all the fortune square Keep all the fortune there so no-one assumes
15.
Perfect life, we’ll make it happen Haven’t seemed to get there yet Peace of mind Happens all the time I will never place that bet Settle down I supported what you went through I believed you all along Peace of mind Like a cup of cheap wine A polluted kind of love Settle down Tell him lies and then he’ll quit Maybe he’ll get over it But I’ll be around
16.
Say, what’s new? Tell them what really has to happen Show them all Tell them what really has to happen Old lies Old lies Sell it all Make sure you find your truth in fiction Who needs hope? My eyes they seem to see the friction. Whole lives Whole lives
17.
Pink Boys 03:32
I still love what I do and I still wake up early every day She’s got a thesis says the world is in pieces But I know... I still love and adore her I still love and adore her But I wanted more Two hearts But she wanted more Two hearts Oh they both want someone to love And they wanted more And they wanted more Two hearts
18.
Peace Motive 01:53
All these lies will be disguised as something weird or something new But I’ll be singing, I’ll be dreaming! You’ll be half asleep it’s true and.. Even though, life moves so slow Even though that heartache will not work...wild west countries! Holy shit you painted it with me in mind and I’m a fool cuz I was dreaming you were singing You grew up without it all and... Half my songs are secret disses Half my songs are sneaky kisses Half my life I’ve been in love with you He got more experimental as he aged (less sentimental?) Normally things don’t work out this way, hey?
19.
Acid Jenny 01:56
I’m not searching for the ways That’ll get me high I’m not listening to you now From the brother of a philistine Who stole all the pieces of his crown And I’ll believe What I’ll believe And although they said it They’ll never, come back home Maybe I’m not coming back! I’m not wasted on a life that will you by I’m not listening to you now All the people that will give up their seats for free All the spaces that are found Maybe he’s not coming back They’re not coming back She’s not coming back I’m not coming back
20.
Gentlemen go to heaven She said as I hopped on the seven Cigarettes to spare White table wine Take her arm Brush her shoulder I need help now that I am older Every single day, every single time And you've got to carry it Burned out from the same old shit Can you tell which one's a lie? Take her hand Now it's smaller She picks flowers and I can call her In a life like mine in a love like mine Paint your teeth and I love that style Paint your lips and I love that style Paint your face and I love that style Paint your eyes and I love that style Always the lie that keeps me interested Always the lie that keeps me happy I'll be happy
21.
I severed all of my ties With all the things wrong with my life I took a trip with some friends Like a boxer’s glove it sank right in And it opened up my mind It opened my mind I climbed inside What’s wrong with us? My friend she put on a show You promised that you would go Everyone talked through her songs I didn’t talk through her songs And she climbed inside my mind Climbed inside my mind And won’t get out What’s wrong with her La la la la...
22.
Island Kids 03:27
Pretend what you’re doing Has any meaning How can you toast without some pain? Combing through beaches For glass and arrowheads A rain forest dies without the rain But are you like.. Everyone else that gets drunk sometimes? And.. I suppose somebody’s got to wear emperors clothes (x2) But mine don’t look right His mother was doing The best that should could with The palm of Christ growing in her mind I got off this island But she was confined and somebody said that love goes blind But are you like.. Everyone else that gets drunk sometimes? And I suppose, island kids always wear stranger clothes (x2) But mine don’t fit right
