Drowning 04:05
lyrics

I've been floating In the ocean In the sun You've been waiting For too long Since I've been gone All my life All the time All my days Till I'm gray Pull me in I'm drowning Help me friend You stole my heart again Come to sea Catch the wind Sail with me Just a picture frame But I can't stop Chasing your string All my life All the time All my days Till I'm gray Pull me in I'm drowning Help me friend You stole my heart again And I'm drowning I'm drowning

Burned 04:38
lyrics

I don't want a name If I could be myself today I would be so far away I want everything Happiness without the pain Memories I'd like to frame Hmmm I love what you say We could dance out in the rain I could be your everything I'll take all the blame I can't tell you how I feel But you make me feel so real Hmmm I don't want a brain I can smell the sun in May Even when the clouds are gray Wrap my things in cellophane Put them in my ashtray Then I'll burn it all away Burn my house Burn my bed Burn my head Burn my heart Burn my soul Burn me till the end Burn my house Burn my bed Burn my head Burn my heart Burn my soul Burn me till I'm dead I don't want a name If I could be myself today I would be so far away I want everything

Banger 02:27
lyrics

Sitting in the backseat of your car Melting like a popsicle of love Picking all my words up off the floor Driving to the corner of the store Come on come on come on You got me all wrong It's been too long I'm laughing all day long Come on come on come on Hello hello hello Novocaine and candy start the game Taping together pieces of my shame Soda pop and pills come light my cigarette Baby I know you'd love a little taste of it Come on come on come on You got me all wrong It's been too long I'm laughing all day long Come on come on come on Hello hello hello

Skeleton 03:49
lyrics

I’m just a skeleton Waiting for my bones to break I’m just a telephone Waiting for my line to ring I’m just an empty heart Waiting for my everything I’m just a skeleton I don’t know what’s wrong with me I’m living in a fantasy Everything feels like a dream Dripping down like kerosine Static bleeds from both my eyes And all I want is out of sight Help me from my broken chain Jump right through your window frame Every time you look at me I’m lost inside a hollow tree All the time All my life I will sing it on repeat I’m just a skeleton Waiting for my bones to break I’m just a telephone Waiting for my line to ring I’m just an empty heart Waiting for my everything I’m just a skeleton Looking through a telescope Sailing on my leaking boat Think of when it all began See it say it all again Playing with a broken crayon Hoping you would come around Waiting oh so patiently Haunted by your mystery Climbing up this falling tree Just to find you underneath All the time All my life I will sing it on repeat I’m just a skeleton Waiting for my bones to break I’m just a telephone Waiting for my line to ring I’m just an empty heart Waiting for my everything I’m just a skeleton

Blood on My Broom 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I live in a silo Never had a meal since my last meal Looking out the windows Seeing walls as their bricks fall I see curtains open I see curtains closing While I push that pen to the paper The money to the banker Run to the spot Four people paying you to get shot Got a microphone Cutting lines until I find a home I wait two years Never drink a tear until I steal a loan Keep cutting and cutting Lines through a phone I got a top hat puppet With a story to tell He said the man with a cane Will never wear a crown Lit a match with a nail Burnt a black and white flag That made no sound, no sound I buy my rags from a priest And my money from a lease Keep my mind to my body Never speak what I see And when I see what I need And believe what I see Then it's hid like a sin With an empty bottle and a lid I fold a paper blind eye Black cat looking left and right My dime sized bucket holding up Keeping time Running with scissors There's a tissue in my pocket And I'm bleeding, bleeding

Spider 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I’ll wait in the dark Look at you with my eyes Pick me up if you can Put me into your hands If you’re not paralyzed And I’ll hide in your bed at night Spin a heart out of web Pretend to be your man But I’m an arachnid I'm just a spider babe Crawling on your skin And I won't stay away Till all your bugs are dead Till all your bugs are dead I’m in a cellar babe You keep me locked away I’m climbing up your drain Nesting in your brain Gonna learn your name And I’m stuck under your spell so please Can you let me in I’m the only one That you wanted I'm just a spider babe Crawling on your skin And I won't stay away Till all your bugs are dead Till all your bugs are dead

U.F.O. 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Staring at my face just to entertain Melting in the sand colors fade my brain Fry all the time taste the summer day I'm somewhere in the desert can't find my way I'll find another U.F.O. just to fly away Get around a petty place that's calling out my name Everybody's in a square saying what to say I don't know what else to do When I start turning gray Button down polo I shake it off Touching my thoughts but it's not enough Crack another can drip it on my tongue I'm only young when I'm having fun I'll find another U.F.O. just to fly away Get around a petty place that's calling out my name Everybody's in a square saying what to say I don't know what else to do When I start turning gray

Something 02:07
lyrics

I'm a something Made of nothing In the night time In your headlights I'm a loser I'm a user An intruder From a rumor I'm a shocker I'm a crawler In the weather In the summer Hey hey hey Why don't you come on after me? Hey hey hey Why don't you come on after me? Hey hey hey Why don't you come on after me? Hey hey hey Why don't you come on after me? I'm a bone house In a light house Pull my teeth out From my stitched mouth You're my wonder In the thunder Come and be my Little monster

Stormy days Stormy days Come on back my way You've been gone For too long Stormy days I've been out I've been gone I've been searching All night long For you For you Stormy days

Lucid Dream 05:01
lyrics
buy track
I'm just searching For the only thing that'll keep me looking Disregarding anything I find I'm not crying You're just judging What your own heart's saying Applauding anyone you see Who doesn't have a need I know you think it's pretty simple Though I have no clue Keep them laughing Keep them broker than a jumping flea When you wake up You won't be in your room I keep on waking up I feel like I've been stuck I can hear other people call my name Shook a deal turned a wheel I took my every shot Drank some tea and then I Threw it down an empty well My mind is floating I'm not asking for myself to lead it No one's looking take a fall Now it's time to call I'm just repeating What I said already once before Looping back and forth Like an open book Look at me what do you see? No reason to my story Anything I hear is the time I call my brain to look Crank the needle On that stale radio I keep on waking up I feel like I've been stuck I can hear other people call my name It's gonna take a long time I'm just lost inside
