Track Name: There's No Grace In It
There's something behind me
at least it feels like it
you never remind me
you always spoke like this
and my brain is paper
you put the weight on it
take care for the long haul
there is no grace in it

buy what you can
until it fills you up
the advertisements in your mind are
blowing up

just don't ask me why I act that fucking way
just don't ask me why I act that fucking way
god knows you love to try to make me feel this fucking way
I'm just your moment of love this fucking way
Track Name: Honesty Trick
what more could you want from me
what more could you ask from me
you may get your honorable mention
for thinking ahead
I'll keep watching the way you're walking
I'm thinking ahead

your mind is out at sea
came on so strong for me
you may get your honorable mention
for thinking ahead
your actions won't match your intentions
you know what you said
i'm pulling the thread

do not fall for the honesty trick

it may seem like this is free
but i'm not speaking honestly

do not fall for the honesty trick
Track Name: Never Felt Better
a pile of leaves
i threw the rest away
you kept laughing
in some far off place

i never felt better tasting fate
loved and laughed at each mistake

oh can't you just sit still? oh won't you just sit still?
oh can't you just sit still? oh won't you just sit still?

say to me
you make my colors bleed
wake up early
just to see something

i never felt better tasting fate
loved and laughed with each mistake
oh can't you just sit still? oh won't you just sit still?
oh can't you just sit still? oh won't you just sit still?

everything tends to come
while the moments gone
I keep my heart in my head
I can't comprehend you
Track Name: Hollow Point
Call, on fire,
See if you're a stranger still
I'm next to a hollow point,
Muted thoughts are all I have to offer you

I'm on my second wind
I'm on my second wind
All to hear your breathing
All to hear your breathing

I am stuck
out of breath and sucking smoke
I'm next to a hollow point
my coat can't keep my sweat from turning cold

I'm on my second wind
I'm on my second wind
All to hear your breathing
All to hear your breathing
Track Name: I Lost My Head That Night
for them i'll feign surprise till my eyebrows are numb
till my eyebrows are numb
The moment you walked in, I could feel a difference
in the air we breathe
Dull paintings on the wall
Painted by the friend of a friend
Dull paintings on the wall
Painted by the friend of a friend

I lost my head that night
And I'll lose it again
Just to bury the roots
Just to cover the tracks
The rain it came along
I never saw the sun until then

Models with cotton filled heads
Hands sewn on with silver thread
With silver thread
I didn't know where to begin
Mercury, dance with me, dance with me

I lost my head that night
And I'll lose it again
Just to bury the roots
Just to cover the tracks
The rain it came along
I didn't see the sun until then
The rain came along
Just to muddy them
Stars went black
when the flashbulbs shattering
I guess that's how it is 
Your eyes, they adore
Track Name: Born Into It
why don't you look me in the eye when we talk
the light is on in your house but you're never home
I'm just another lonely soul
but you can leave me at another door

temptation is your main contribution
you're nature's favorite practical joke
I'm just another lonely soul
but you can leave me at another door
Track Name: Lost In The Measurement
you put the restlessness in me.
you should just come over
we've got all this time
you should just come over

keep it interesting
when you look at me
you should just come over
and keep an eye on me

oh
im down by the second hand
oh
im lost in the measurement

we gave it all up
for the candy and the nicotine
you should just come over
im all jacked up on caffeine

oh
im down by the second hand
oh
im lost in the measurement
Track Name: Morning Dog
In my head it's a bullet
in my heart its a seed
the high wore off hours ago
for a while its been me

Funny how love includes lying
or withholding the truth
yours is the god I'm pretending for
and i'm holding the proof

I try to keep my canine mind
from tearing this apart
old dog builds up the fragments
and then ends it like the start

For you I don't want to pick up pieces
but I know that I will
but its the best kind of morning
you rest your chin on the windowsill

In my head it's a bullet
in my heart its a seed
the high wore off hours ago
for a while its been me
Track Name: A Better Flaw
I sit and gather distance
I must have a reflection somewhere in this room

Sit and gather composure
I must limit my exposure to people like you

Concrete is your medium
an artist at work, no love lost on me
Most streetlights go out when I walk by them
I carry the light in.

Sit and gather composure
I cant limit my exposure to people like you

You can't design a better flaw in me
You can't design a better flaw in me

there must be a way out of this
a backwards picture of me in the back of your head

Concrete is your medium
an artist at work, no love lost on me
Most streetlights go out when I walk by them
I carry the light in.

I have a reflection
in this room
Track Name: Circling Photographs
start again, waxed upon
Reeling from the kiss I caught
Dizzied drunk, flocked out

None of us wild beasts
Knew exactly what to do
No need to abandon

Circling photographs
Point and laugh
and laugh
and laugh
