Job With Insurance
02:35
|
|||
|
I’m here as long as you want me, however that long is anyway
Till you find someone else neater with a longer resumé
Someone who their shit together
In ways I’ll never be able to do
I’m just looking for a job with insurance,
Some kind of assurance I could one day have you
I try not to imagine the way that you miss her
I hope it’s not more than she misses you
I’m praying I’m not some home-wrecker harlot
Knowing it’s you who first pursued
Despite the job market being shit
I’m holding on, like it’s worth it
It’s the only thing I know to do
But no, I’m not waiting
I’m just kind of hanging around
Haunt your halls like a ghost
Float past your wedding photos
No, you don’t want me
You just don’t want to be alone
Don’t want to be alone
Don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to be alone

Spring Violet

They wanna crush you like the
Spring violet under their heel
All this senseless violence
It’s a curse and a blessing to feel
You’re not a revolutionary
But they wanna martyr you
Face down in the wet grass
Cuz you didn’t kiss ass
To the cop with the furrowed brow
He’s getting off, he’s getting off
He’s getting off on cutting you down
You’re not a revolutionary
But they wanna martyr you
Stripped you of your dignity
They killed you with your arms raised
Environmentalist baby? Nah. They saw
Enemy of the state
You’re not a revolutionary
But they wanna martyr you

I have so much to say and
No way to say it
Don’t hand me a guitar
I don’t want to play it
Everything that works is in pieces on the floor
Everything that works doesn’t anymore
Anymore
The ring you gave me is warped out of shape
Much like your face
Full of distaste and
Hate for me
You don’t see what you used to see in me
In me
All my old friends are sick of me and
Honest to god I am too
My new friends aren’t leaving me
But I’m counting the days till they do
I’m sticking safety pins in my fingers
And sweating all night through
I cry in my car listening to singers croon
I know I’ve made some rights and I’ve made some wrongs too
God help me finish singing this song
God help me leave you
Leave you
Everything that hurts one day won’t hurt the same
Everything that hurts will seem funny and you will have changed
I’ll have changed
I’ll have changed
I’ll have changed

Soul/Flesh
02:59
|

|
Baby, why do you want me?
Don’t blow up your life
Your insides are so beautiful but
She won’t look inside
In the hallway where no one can see, you
Quote the bible while you kiss me, you
Say the soul is strong and that the flesh is weak
You say the soul is strong and that the flesh is weak
Baby, I feel ugly
I think I must be ugly inside
Baby, I feel dirty
Hiding from the light
In the hallway where no one can see, you
Quote the bible while you kiss me, you
Say the soul is strong and that the flesh is weak
You say the soul is strong and that the flesh is
Where no one can see me
You kiss me

July So Blue

|
We’ve got owls at our doors and roaches in our floors
And we’ve got healing to do, we’ve got healing to do
I won’t deny you got a hold on me you do
Oh you do
Dogs only chase when you run
Your heart’s broke but you wanna love someone
I wanna love someone, I wanna love someone
I won’t deny you got a hold on me you do
Oh you do
You ask what my dreams are
They’re only of you and a July so blue
I can’t hide from you
I can’t hide from you, got a hold on me you do
Oh you do

Check Engine Light

|
Check engine light on
But I’ll drive it all the way home
With my seatbelt off
Music blaring on the radio
Electricity buzzin’
I feel it in my bones
Am I getting worse?
Do you think everyone knows?
I am getting worse and now you know
My brakes are shot out
Now there’s no stopping me now
See your eyes getting wide
I can tell that you can tell that it’s not fine
Electricity buzzin’
I feel it in my bones
Am I getting worse?
Do you think everyone knows?
I am getting worse and now you know
Electricity buzzin’
I feel it in my bones
Am I getting worse?
Do you think everyone knows?

Entropy
02:05
|

|
Try and stave the stillness off
Clean up my act, clean it all up
You can clean and clean but it won’t be long
Entropy’s coming for you like the rest of us
I try to write a new song
I write the same one all night long
I can change my hair but not what I really am
I’m a fuck up, I’m homesick
I’m nostalgic for something that doesn’t exist
I’m a songbird with a sore throat and I love you enough
To leave it alone
I’m a fuck up, I’m homesick
I’m nostalgic for something that doesn’t exist
I’m a songbird with a sore throat and I love you enough to leave it alone
I love you enough to leave it alone, I love you enough to leave it alone
I love you enough to leave it alone, i love you enough, I love you enough
I love you enough to leave it alone, I love you enough to leave it alone
I love you enough to leave it alone, i love you enough, I love you enough!

Hands Going Down
03:19
|
|||
|
Sweat dripping down my back
This is my third bath today, today
I’m trying to exorcize you
I’m trying in vain, in vain
You’re no demon, no foreign body
I can’t sweat you out like a cold,
Pretend I don’t feel what I feel
Or know what I know
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
C’mon baby, try and be subtle
Don’t give me those eyes across
The table, the table
No song lyrics at the bar,
Trying not to go too far, too far
Play it cool, play it safe
Pretend not to see your gaze
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
Love and pain
One and the same
In love and in pain god I wish that things could change
I wish your hands were
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down
Hands going down, going down

Mt. Brokeback
04:50
|
|||
|
Sitting in my car, this is where it starts
Everytime
You’re spilling your guts,cutting my liver open
Won’t you crawl inside
My coat?
You’re having a heat stroke
and I want to be needed
I can’t quit you, I can’t quit you babe
I can’t quit you, I can’t quit you babe
If you can’t fix it, you’ve gotta stand it
To rot is not inherently unromantic
On Mt. Brokeback, 10 feet deep in the earth
My heart on a platter
You’re trying to make it work
The place where the guilt sits
Compels me to part my lips
Won’t you please remove it
Your fingers down my throat
Grasping for something unknown
Nothing can fix it now
Sick to my stomach, you talk big then act small
I’ll believe when I see it
I can’t quit you, I can’t quit you babe
I can’t quit you, I can’t quit you babe
If you can’t fix it, you’ve gotta stand it
To rot is not inherently unromantic
I can’t quit you, I can’t quit you babe
I can’t quit you, I can’t quit you babe
I can’t quit you, I can’t quit you babe
The place where the guilt sits

All For Free
03:24
|

|
I’m of the Earth
He’s of the sea
He’s got eyes as blue as that big deep
I’m scared one day he’ll get sick of me
But he’s got my heart all for free
All for free, all for free, he’s got my heart
All for free
I’m still learning how to breathe
It’s not as simple as it seems
The world spins me too fast, knocks me off my feet
He holds me steady, I found some peace
I found some peace, I found some peace
He holds me steady, I found some peace
I remember the first time with Mary Jane
She made me feel less insane
And with you, it’s kind of the same
The sky feels bluer when you call my name
You call my name, you call my name
The sky feels bluer when you call my name
When I’m with youI believe
There’s something left in this world for me
Now, I never believed in weddings rings
The Bible or monogamy–
And I still don’t,
But our love is free
It’s you and me, all for free
All for free, all for free
You’ve got my heart all for free
