Too Many Ideas
03:08
|
|||
let’s enjoy this awkward dance of
sometimes meeting eyes but you’re not single
you're sitting in my basement in the morning leaning close like a teenager
oh you’re not quite perfect but i might still fall in for you ‘cause you’re there
your whiskey in the jar beside me gave you too many ideas
(bad keyboard solo)
maybe i’m a perfect target
rosy red, my blood ruins the picture
you seem to think i died of thirst last year, you’re leaving flowers at my grave. hmm
that’s somewhat accurate; it’s not for you to say
the desert treats me better than you ever will
am i some arid prize your pride depends upon? it's an ugly way to get back in the game
oh i'd go for any clown nearby, that said you’re still a messy choice
your whiskey in the jar beside me gave you too many ideas
frequently i double dip- am i evil or is this town just small?
the whiskey in the jar beside you gave me too many ideas

i’m only valuable with your hands around my waist
i’m terrorized by white boys wearing suits
i only feel alone when they call each other babe
i’m hanging on for when you say my name
wearing suits like their fathers
i’m only valuable when a face is on my face
concerning how i think that all the time
they clean up so damn well, jacket pockets full of bones
i stick around and hope you’ll look my way
wearing suits like your father
men are buses
a new one every hour
but i am in the middle of the sea
enjoying little things
the way a shirt hangs off my shoulders
my lips are undisturbed
spotify knows me better than you ever will

Disaster Zone

gearing up for a “talk”
elaborate rejection
i knew was coming
should be treating this like war
maybe i should fuck with you
why cry when i could grow claws?
oh my god i got myself
and the pits underneath my eyes
oh my god i got myself
why did i hold on? why did i hold out for you?
have i learned anything at all?
you made me feel like kid
full of teenage sentiment
why did i give you the time?
were you just that lonely?
was i the rabbit to test things on?
oh my god i got myself
and my ragged hair overgrown
oh my god i got myself
why did i hold on? why did i hold out for you?
oh my god i got myself
and my overfed nostalgia
oh my god i got myself
why did i hold on? why did i hold out for you?

i don’t know why i'm here
please don’t ask me again!
now i’m dry as an old bone, sleep at 10
grown up plans invade my head
cry on the train scowl the whole way home
i forget how sunlight feels
summer dresses? bike grease on my hands
awkward haircut i won’t change
i dont know why i'm here
pretty soon i’ll head back west
live in a cheap room, oh, it's easy
avoid eye contact with the void
i am so lost, i am so damn lost

Meet the Artist
02:22
|

i refuse to breathe in your smoke
but it followed me here
you insist you basically quit
failed the test of the patio
we wore the same coat
meet the artist and for what?
hooking up or just getting out alive?
sitcom stories shared with everyone
he's his own favorite poet
and he was three hours late
sky high standards, plans for myself
but it rains every year
and i wear the same coat
meet some extras and for what?
hooking up or just getting out alive?
i met with randos to forget
but now i'm forced to compare

my blood, rosy red, ruins the picture
i'd prefer if everyone could see me grey
grey eyes: is it from no sleep or last night’s makeup? you decide!
i’m a water slide covered in snow
i hope i was fun to play with in the summer
you forgave yourself for leaving with some baggage
i couldn’t help you with
fuck the men of the future i want you, and yr tattoos
i could listen to all of your blues, i have them too
my body sore from taking care of myself
hear the couple conversations on the first floor
careless housemates spend the day in sleep til 2
listen to the party thru the wall next door
listen to the party thru the wall next door

who else will taste like halls peppermint cough drops?
mouth as cold as january
i didn't think it would take 2 years to heal
i’m rolling my eyes at myself
i sleep on the couch, pretend i’m on the run
feels like a holiday
won’t remind me of my messiest nights
20 years to forget
it may always be
something wrong with me
things I hated
why would i walk home at 5 in the morning?
sounds like a messy night
thought i could shake off a cabernet crush
20 minute love affair

i'm only miserable on my back alone with you
should i care if we brush limbs or not?
my friends don't really care but i tell them anyway
i fell asleep on your linoleum
i could let things happen
but i don't know what i want
am i patient? am i?
do i want to be?

what are they saying about me?
once word gets out that i’m crazy
no one will dare call me baby
not so much going on lately
how many quarter-heart crushes can i have at once?
treating each party like a job fair- yeah, i wore my best dress
I must take up too much space between the sheets
so what are they saying about me?
am i not good company?
word gets around that i’m crazy
don’t use my name when you address me
sweet baby, i would never say that to your face
don't use my name when you undress me

Twin

i’m looking for my twin
who’ll dance through this stack of records with me
a skeptic, but still happy
i’m looking for my twin
who’ll like my jokes and play along
appreciate the sunlight in my hair
(it’s there)
why won’t you play along?
you just say “jesus christ” when i say something dumb
i’m looking for my twin
the air won’t be heavy with bad sleep
not traumatized by commas and periods
is this too dumb to want?
it’s not that i’m misunderstood
i just know that there’s something out there better
(it’s there)
why won’t you play along?
you just say “jesus christ” when i say something dumb
why do i bother?
would i spend time with you if you had your clothes on?
