There's No Grace In It
03:15

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

Honesty Trick
04:40
|
|

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

Never Felt Better
02:50

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

Hollow Point
03:39
|
|

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

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

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

Lost In The Measurement
04:31
|
|

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

Morning Dog
04:39

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

A Better Flaw
05:50
|
|
||
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

Circling Photographs
02:47
|
|

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
