Well I don't know how they did it there but I like it over here
I roll my "R"s sometimes, and you'll be far sometime
But right here right now, we've never been so clear
And I don't know what they told you there
Or what they're saying over here
I know we're high school prey, I've got that tree house made
I only need your face, don't see why we should venture on down
No she never grew up
No look she fucked it up again
She's doused in oil and I'm fireproof
And she's got no more friends
She never gave up
No look her hands are black with soot,
She rummaged through our burning wreck, got splinters from the broken wood
More splinters, didn’t think she could fit
I've grown tired of you mixing signals like your mixing your drinks
I've been working on this glass too long
I've got these wounds to mend
I think I need a new cure, see I'm motion sick
Don't want to be like water
No definite shape until I'm held
She put me in a broken glass and I dripped out unto the floor
Now I only flow downhill
And I can't collect where I please
And she's too hard to float on the surface of the puddles I formed
Just like our mothers have warned
When her voice came on the radio calling me a beast
Leaving girls in my track and never looking back
You know I've never been like that
When her voice came on the radio calling me a beast
Leaving girls in my track and never looking back
You know I've never been like that
Don't want to be like water
No definite shape until I'm held
She put me in a broken glass and I dripped out unto the floor
Now I only flow downhill
And I can't collect where I please
And she's too hard to float on the surface of the puddles I formed
Just like our mothers have warned

Landmines
03:40
|

Watch how seamlessly I weave a lie
No holes so smooth to ease you down
I've been sidewinding my way around you
Tiptoe you know what you're landmines do
And my manipulated faces all scare her to death
See she can smell my lies in my breath
And all the words I say can't fool her none
She knows I speak some devil-tongue
Watch how perfectly I brew a lie
Fill yourself up with it all warm and safe
Put you're weight on it
You know it can't break
Decorate your house with it
I can make a living off it
Cause these kamikaze lovers all scare me to death
They're falling through the air, and tearing to shreds
And avoid the debris, as best you can
See I'm broke despite how fast I ran

Pulmoncito
03:14
|

We haven't spoke in six months
I know the fault is mine
So I pray tensions dissolve through time
I didn’t know they grow stale
They get brittle from all the air
So I pray, I pray I’m wise someday
Nothing scares me more than
How people change
All these chemicals cannot maintain
There's a crater in the ground where we parted that day
These preservatives of mine let you rot away
I learned to sing with one lung
Scares in-between my ribs
But I say, pulmoncito's ok
Something implied when I say
When I say your name
Forever pregnant with what you used to claim
Nothing scares me more than
How people change
All these chemicals cannot maintain
There's a crater in the ground where we parted that day
These preservatives of mine let you rot away

Stitch Me Tight
02:27

Sandpaper mornings after honeydew nights
Ashamed how the moon charmed me last night
You left that bitter taste all in my mouth
Secret ingredient you didn’t tell me about
So please, no more of your sweets
I've got cavities and splinters and holes
All through me
Come on and stitch me tight so I don't bleed all night
Then I’m drain
Oh no
Didn't always know who you were
It's hard to think of now like a face you can't recall
How'd I ever walk with out the sense I was about to fall
I was about to fall
So please, no more of your sweets
I've got cavities and splinters and holes
All through me
Come on and stitch me tight so I don't bleed all night
Then I’m drained
Oh no

Quicksand Gold
01:27
|
|||
I've grown jealous of my shadow
So elusive so hollow
No strings inside for you to pull
Just step in the light and I'll follow
And oh, I'm just eighteen years old
I've got this little mind that only knows what it's told
I've got this quicksand with a mean chokehold
So teach me how to float
Cause its just as gold

Hammer Heart
02:54
|
|||
You've been standing with your arms round your sides and its scaring me
You're either bracing for something or holding something inside from me
Don’t you worry I can break your heart
Don’t got a hammer and I’m not that strong
And walking with a back full of knots can hurt sometimes
And speaking with a mouth full of thought tastes bad sometimes
But if she's learned from her life at all
There's a red light near
So drop that gear
There's a red light near
I only need one of you instead of ten
I've grown used to using my fingers when I count my friends
Cut the laugh track you're not as damaged as you say
We're all under attack but you put it on display
But if she's learned from her life at all
There's a red light near
So drop that gear
There's a red light near
There's a red light near
There's a ride light

Fort Song
03:01

I'm gonna march up to that fort you made
Break it down like Legos and slay
But you've got nothing to conceal
Yeah I don't know why you ever built that fort
I don't know what I was marching for
You've got me frozen cold
I'll shatter if I fall
Would you pick me up, all my matter and all
Would you take me home
Put me up on your wall
Well you know the deal
I ain't got no shield
What you wield I wield
How did you learn to be so goddamn hard
I'll only trust you so far
I think we think alike
But I don’t get me
We're two separate people I know but
The line gets blurry
We're two separate people I know but
She said if the pope can wear gold
Then I’m allowed to have
You as my other half
Well you know the deal
I aint got no shield
What you wield I wield
