Schizophrenia 00:56
lyrics
buy track
SCHIZOPHRENIA I wish that I’d have known that you had schizophrenia I wish that I’d have known that you were ill I’d have been a better friend to you when we were young, But now the past is gone and I don’t know you You’d always been a little crazier than me…

Tail Lights 02:00
lyrics

TAIL LIGHTS I don’t wanna be around today I’m goin’ someplace else faraway Faraway from here But I don’t really have another place to go So I’ll stay…I’ll stay right here And think about when we go over the bridge at night I see the taillights And it feels like we’re in a great machine Do you know, baby, do you know just what I mean?

Emergency Window 01:42
lyrics
buy track
EMERGENCY WINDOW When the bridge comes the thoughts come Of what it would be like to die With the passengers on the right side And the left side of the isle Who would I save, and who would save me As the bus finally finds the river? Will we cry in the cloudy water? Will we hold hands as we die? Emergency window

Miserable Hunger 01:16

MISERABLE HUNGER One animal eats another until teeth gleam Such a miserable hunger oooooooooh It’s hard to have courage It’s hard to know pleasure when it comes It’s hard to have a sun burn And also love the sun A home is gone No light, no home It’s gone So long sad home

The Best Old Shoe 01:07

THE BEST OLD SHOE A shattered dream, a shattered dream come true A friend like you, a friend like you The best old shoe It’s good to feel, It’s good to feel the sidewalkless streets It’s good to sit, It’s good to sit wordless with shattering dreams Count on me, count on me But don’t hold your breath-2-3, breath-2-3

Time To Come Up 01:27
lyrics
buy track
TIME TO COME UP I’ve got a monster in my bed And this is what she says: Honey why are you afraid? Honey why are you afraid? You musn’t cringe in cold disgust At the lovers on the bus Go share your terror, it won’t kill you Four years below ground…it’s time to come up I’ve got a foul mouth in my head And this is what she says: You’ll have a flowerless grave You’ll have a flowerless grave You musn’t cringe in cold disgust At the lovers on the bus Go share your terror, it won’t kill you Four years below ground…it’s time to come up

Kiss Kiss Kiss 01:35
lyrics

KISS KISS KISS I woke up last night crying It was a silent dream I woke up last night crying About some memory Where you said to me I was at the top of your list You said stop, and then we kissed What is this? I don’t want to dream I don’t want to dream like this I don’t want to dream I don’t want to dream like this, But it’s the only way I’ll get a kiss

Loner Vibe 01:34
lyrics
buy track
LONER VIBE Each hand made from different stars Black and white Near and far The dirt gets deeper In an instant Life leaves weaving memories Happiness, or on your knees It doesn’t matter You feel the distance Between Everything you were And everything you want Goodbye goodbye Hello loner vibe I’m paranoid all the time Goodbye goodbye Hello loner vibe I’m paranoid And that’s fine

Don't Fall Apart 02:14
lyrics
buy track
DON’T FALL APART Waiting, I am waiting Waiting for the circling to start Hating, I am hating Beating back my anhedonic heart There’s a trickle in there somewhere Of pulsing love There’s a river rising darkly With that happy blood You can kiss me if you want And I promise not to fall apart You can kiss me if you want And I promise not to fall apart Oooooh don’t fall apart

I am a Diary 01:44
lyrics
buy track
I AM A DIARY Give your tears to me I am a diary Give your tears to me I am a diary Keep your secrets safe with me Tell me what you’ve seen Blood beats below, around between Tell me what you’ve seen Blood beats below, around between My pages breathe back honesty Please don’t ask any questions No more reciprocation I wanna be a cemetery It’s hard to be the me That can open up to anything The salt inside true tears Protects me from decay Dear diary

Thin Ice 01:50
lyrics
buy track
THIN ICE Baby that’s thin ice Baby that’s thin ice Cracks are creepin’ Open your eyes Baby that’s thin ice Baby that’s thin ice Cracks are creepin’ Open your eyes Purple circles below your red eyes Pillow for a home Come back baby it’s not safe out there Put your sunglasses on and pretend not to care Leave the socializing to the butterflies Time to celebrate, you’re alone all night

EVERY TEAR IS A DROP OF FEAR There’s a song that keeps holding on It’s inside it’s inside oh yeah And when I feel that I don’t belong It’s inside it’s inside oh yeah I can feel the weight in every face I see And every tear is a drop of fear I bleed from My heart

Something Like a Wound 01:55

SOMETHING LIKE A WOUND Something like a wound Healing up to soon Weary of those woes Abruptly letting go Don’t wanna say goodbye I’m left bereft alright You’re a sensation Summer vacation Love inheres in you In you inheres love All heart holes would heal Don’t be afraid of bleeding All heart holes would heal Don’t be afraid Don’t be afraid Something like a wound Healing up to soon Weary of those woes Abruptly letting go

RED TURNS INTO BLUE These little wings are barely beating Here we veer clumsily there Old hearts hang themselves On a golden nail The red of love brings back the blue The red of love brings back the blue Try hard to not to think of you ‘Cause when I do, red turns into blue

Kaleidoscope 01:58

KALEIDOSCOPE Hey look what I’ve got Hey look what I’ve got I’ve got a kaleidoscope Turns black back into hope Or is it a rope? Or is it a rope? Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah There’s a shadow lurching through my heart alley Hesitant cheeks surge pink in a dream There’s a shadow lurching through my heart alley Heavy heart blue smoke screen Covers you
