1.
deal me in again I will but when? how long does it take to feel the same? I'll be honest probably not what you wanna hear try to forget everything you felt and you fear
2.
Elbow 01:58
when you get angry scream into this bag and bury it from its place will grow a tree of everything you fear that you hold dear and you'll know it's clear get away from here then you'll know you're safe bury your face in your elbow
3.
Lyin' 01:53
pack away all of my hopes board up my only home so I cast off the ropes and set out on my own but I got no answer no claim to truth I'm lyin' if I do and I know I'm the worst one
4.
Tooth & Fist 02:45
stop, wait, how'd it get so late? sleep, eat, try to find a mate I got my finger on it work, beat, stand up give your seat wash, run, stay light on your feet I got my finger on it walk, sun, try your best have fun within the limits of your status but no other one I got my finger on it coult it be, could it be so simple? therein lies my prejudice I would rather lost in the woods I would rather tooth & fist stop, wait, how'd it get so late? sulk, lie, trip to another state I got my finger on it talk, cry, shudder, heave and sigh touch, read, teach your kid to drive I got my finger on it wake, pee, refresh your feed when you feel a sense of doubt bury the seed well I got my finger on it
5.
Dog Go Bark 02:36
fill my gullet with shit that I wouldn't feed my dog but there's no best friend in my home so I piss on the couch put my tail between my legs whenever the bell rings I slip the chain out of the lock and bare my teeth to growl I bark and howl on the rare occasion when I get to leave the deck I slip the leash around my neck so I'm always in sight feel the breeze behind my ear I jerk the leash induce the fear I am my own best friend as long as I behave 'less I be brave I'll find a way, got to monetize my home, my hands, my life I walked away before sat down my desk and 2 years turned to 4 my aspirations all out on the floor no matter where I lay my head I can't ignore this ache get away, no way, I don't want it for anyone
6.
feel it coming on feel it going okay and when I'm at my strongest I feel it turn and walk away
7.
The Scab 01:43
build an altar to a ghost offer yourself as the host thick wind blows in off the coast I know drain an animal, watch it flow gather the blood, guilt in tow wait for something impossible I know light the tree to burn watch the wood twist, turn follow these and you'll learn build an altar to a ghost offer yourself as the host picking at the scab until it's the bone
8.
I won't talk when there's people around but I'll certainly fill my cup know that nervous, sweaty, stiff stare I keep to keep from throwing up you know it well I can feel it in my body break I bend to make room, let you take my place and fill that space my body used but left no trace you know I would I could stand up straight but my posture's garbage is a change to late? when you get down to the shit of it you know I would now that we watch ourselves in that fragmented sense of self I'm scared, afraid to care life is easy, truth over dare fell into a plush rut comfy where I lie I ain't runnin' I'm just runnin' out of time
9.
walk up to the moon and wave goodbye I wouldn’t even try when to breathe out? when to lie? I may retreat inside but I won’t back down take a look around I hold my ear to the ground take a breath and feel the dirt settle below my lungs when to breathe out? when to lie? maybe all my friends are right but I won’t back down take a look around I hold my ear to the ground take a breath and feel the dirt settle below my lungs when to breathe out? when to lie? maybe all my friends are right turn my face up to the sky your guess is as bad as mine but I won’t back down take a look around I hold my ear to the ground take a breath and feel the dirt settle below my lungs so I dig down what I lost I found realized the size of the crown it’ll never fit walk to the woods and bury it yeah I dig down what I've lost I found realized the size of the crown it’ll never fit walk to the woods and bury it
10.
The Crow 02:32
as the crow flies, cut a straight line through bullshit reason, reassess the view put myself down to be alone I can never be alone first I know to cast a stone in my time today I'd just like to say: coulda been anyone gave my time away though I left I stay, coulda been anyone no one else to blame this the choice I made, could been anyone but I won't let it fade and I won't play it safe I could be anyone
11.
Bass 2 02:18
closet sluggard, jack of all trades I'll do everything so it goes my way and never finish throw it up on the shelf right there next to everything I call myself and every other month I bring it down to try to sit and focus and fill my notebook with lofty hocus pocus but fall asleep wake up and waste the day fantasize my life in someone else's place but I bare witness to a lack of strength an inability to enact real change so every other month I bring me down to wallow and be selfish these alternate states have got me feeling bogus I'll go to sleep. wait. what do I stand to gain? a semblance of some purpose though I feel insane in body and in brain a semblance of some purpose carve out a custom space to fit your fall from grace a semblance of some purpose so every other month I bring me down to try to sit and focus and fill my body numb with the standard poison to fall asleep
12.
Wet Nails 01:47
described the itch but not the scratch I'm not looking for the source I'm looking for a patch and when I feel it's dull attack I despair until I can in fact step back, detach burnin', burnin', burnin' in my head tried the shrink and tried the psychic tried the book of dead burnin', burnin', burnin' in my head go to church, at the very least you'll end up fed so I left my friends and went out for a walk try to clear my head, but all I hear is talk think I'll take my time from now on
13.
we get old, we get selfish everybody sounds fake and I'm the worst one we get old, we get on found a way in my head to get on I know my name and act my age I feel insane with doubt I can't erase pushing pencil into place
14.
we only ever know what's wrong we only have to when it's gone keep my teeth sharp, tics in check speaking of wrong place, wrong sect overcast hours in neglect poised to argue, etched in stone shortcut to a sore throat hard work in shadow
15.
when you're lonely 'cause you're only thinking of yourself at night and when you're sad well I hope it's barely worth it yeah I hope you're sick and tired and you get mad I know it's took to long you thought it right, you felt it wrong so at night you sing this song and it's enough when it's too much for the retouch know it's better to move on than to swing back keep your chin up, with any luck you will realize your life it ain't half bad and know you've got it good if you can help then you should take my own advice, for once I wish I would
