I wrecked you on the record
you call me cause your neck hurts
you call me cause your neck’s out
I can't believe it
I can't believe that in all the places I could run into you it was right now when I needed you most
I can't believe my good luck that I met you yeah
Give me the Pop-Tart® popped
give me the deadlock locked
give me the nice house bought
Give me a face full of my foot
You blocked me from your black hole
I’m feeling like a spice
I’m feeling like oregano
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe after all the days and wash basins I finally feel clean enough to call you out yeah
[Chorus]
We got lovin’ rolled in batter
Cry over me yeah when we fold
I know it’s not ok
Open up look away
We got lovin’ rolled in batter
Cry over me yeah when we fold
I know it’s not ok
Open up look around, down,
It’s not cool, it’s not about you
[Chorus]

This
This is so far off
Off
From what I
What I believe in
This is so far off
From what I wanted
I watched you live
I watched you live
And it's no better
I watched you live
I watched you live
And it's no better
I watched you live
I watched you live
And it's no better
I returned to my mother in a ball
And cried cried cried in a song
I hadn't sung before
It was bright damage
Bursting off your voice
Your voice
I watched
???????????????????

I cannot be a good one
It’s where you’re born it’s who you’re born to
We all tuck in our shirts and get our hands to work in dirt we work in
oooooooo
I’m holding out for green lights
It’s for my lungs it’s for my mom too
We all are sick of home but
Rotting in the ground seems rough
I’m tired but tough
Hold me hold my ever alone
Isn’t it over
Hasn’t it slowed
(I cannot be a...)
Hug myself and kiss the mirror never alone
The thread of your sweater
Pull ‘til it’s gone
I cannot be a good one
It’s where you’re born it’s who you’re born to
We all tuck in our shirts and get our hands to work in dirt we work in
oooooooo
I’m holding out for green lights
It’s for my lungs it’s for my mom too
We all are sick of home but
Rotting in the ground seems rough
I’m tired but tough
Then I get the feeling that I left for the Fall
I must have closed my eyes
I will soon forever know
But no
I can’t even hold all I have
‘til then
I can
Hold me hold my ever alone
Isn’t it over
Hasn’t it slowed
Hug myself and kiss the mirror never alone
The thread of your sweater
Pull till it’s gone
I’m holding out for green lights
It’s for my lungs it’s for my mom too
We all are sick of home but
Rotting in the ground seems rough
I’m tired but tough

Fighting All My Life
03:24
|

This guy
This fucking guy
Holding up traffic
With his fucking sign
My my a wasted mind
Seven times I passed him by
I cashed in all my minutes
I traded all my time
I get to drive real fast
In the traffic lines
I get to bump bump bumpers
I get to get home tired
This guy
This stupid guy
Playing the lotto like he’s gonna win it sometime
But no one is made a fool
Like the ones who wish for something new
Everyone’s got it all figured out
Throw the ball it’s my turn now
Throw the ball I’ll tear you down
I’ll tear you down
I’ll tear you down
Fighting all my life for the slice
I get it
You want it bad but you will never give it up
You turn me on my brother
Turn me on my friend
I got more in common with each of them
That’s enough
Ok, I’ll keep it light
It’s not like I’m saying what everyone’s thinking
right?
Try as you might
To change my mind

The Upward Spiral
04:20
|
|||
The horizon is heavy
The water says it could be worse
The air says it will never change
An equilibrium of sorts
Grotesque colors that flex
Baring their teeth as they drive
I tell you I need you now more than ever
And you say
(yeah)
And I say, “well yeah, but did you hear me right?”
And you say
(yeah)
And I get this feeling that you’re not really listening
And you say
(yeah)
And I want to tell you that you are the line in the sand
And you say
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You have it all figured it out
You feel safe inside your house
You turn your head and look around
And realize I’m you
And you are me
And I am you
I’m complacent inside the crowd
Waiting for a pat on the snout
Frightful I might scuff up my brow
What kind of fucked up shit is that

Set It Off
04:56
|
|||
I set it off
For the lies, for the hope, for the know
For the “livin’ my own”, yeah
I set it off
For the live, for the love
And the lure of going forth
Living nice, but I can’t hold on for us
While you renew
And it’s true, for I adore you
Once, whilom
But I follow my gold way
But, who but you?
You win my heart
I’m ruined out here
Running on fossils and a prelude
I set it off
Would anoint a few role in the loft
And you’re always zooming no one
Day of a mother’s strength
And then you’re daisy
But it ain’t that easy no
Set it off

Have It All
03:41

I have fun at the beach
I have fun at the mall
I can gossip all night long
I look good on a man
See my face from the stands
Be a hold for your hand
Please don’t go
They always say I’m mean
But I think I’m pretty funny
They’re just jealous
I am gorgeous
They always say I’m mean
But I think it’s pretty funny
That I have it all together
I have it. All.
I have fun being the bitch
I have fun against odds
I can roll my eyes past the stars
I look good with a tan
I get tons of new fans
And who can blame them? Goddamn
But please don’t go
They always say I’m mean
But I think I’m pretty funny
They’re just jealous
I am gorgeous
They always say I’m mean
But I think I’m pretty funny
That I
Have it all together
I have it all

Queer Gods
04:12
|

Don’t get your panties in a bunch
I’m just saying what we’re all thinking
It’s tedious to play within
Predetermined roles we’re all given
Don’t you get tired of being the good guy
Don’t you get tired of being the dry eye in the room
Can’t you see past the pink and blue queues
In the thick of the night I pray to the queer gods
Give me a better guy, give me a better guy
I'm something ancient radiating round the shovel while you’re digging
You find the bones and the little tomes but not the meaning
Sifting through gems and calling them sand
You press my waves as I flow through your hand
From the earth and sea I’m the sun and the night
In the shifting light I pray to the queer gods
When it gets colder on your own
Steal your breath and close your eyes
Heaven is wasted on the throne
When it gets colder on your own
Soaked in blight and cheap cologne
Knees to the dirt eyes to the sky
Give me
Give me a better guy

Rib Woman

And then you find me
Just like it’s always been
I take half of your heart
We’ll make it easy
We’ll agree and agree
Don’t fall asleep on me
Do we stand at the shoulder
Bring in the glow of young supple heat
And untouched meat
Yeah we know how to gussy up
Turn heads and
Pitch tents in any bed
My god I’m more than
More than more than a
Rib woman
Uhh too bad I’m only of you
You’re like aww too bad brought your big brain with you
I’m like I merely want to taste the fucking fruit
I am all that I am I am all that I do

The Floor Is Lava
05:50

Keys in the aisle I hear my mama among the strangers
My favorite meal blue on my tongue
Sugar on sugar the floor is lava
I fake asleep
So you will carry me
And talk so soft to me
Lie in the sun
Potato bug
Rolled up in armor
Don’t let ‘em hurt ya
You always have to know
You always have to know
What I’d do for you
Clothes in a pile
I wear your goggles
I gotta have more
Tears in my eyes
Singing by fire
I never felt more
Like other people
You always have to know
You always have to know
What I’d do for you
You always have to know
You always have to know
I’m made of you

Cake Party
03:18

I just got my pass
to see the ocean
climbing
climbing out of itself
It's enough to know I know I don't know when enough's enough to notice nothing living in my hole oh holy knowing god to go I've got to go where god is never looking hiding in my home
In my home
Hiding in my home
Your final gasp
I watch you in your box
not a clue you're being helped
just the wound and nothing else
Hiding in my home
In my home
Here, there, over where
Ask where I belong

OMG
02:47
|
|||
How close do I get to your face before
You push me back I fall forward
We act surprised, but it’s designed
Little pawns in a big war
Jenny at the store with nothin’
Jenny gets caught shopliftin’
Someone getting taught a little lesson
Someone stayed dead when they came down hard
Cannot be blamed for browsing
Cannot be blamed for arousing
Pieces past their prime
Pieces past their prime
Jenny in the club with nothin’
Jenny getting clubbed for speakin’
Someone’s in the dark for the weekend
Someone stayed dead when they roughed him up
Cannot be blamed for a break in
Cannot be blamed for resisting
Caught in a current
Mess up and lay
Lost inadvertent
Buck up and bray
Silence
Can you concurrently swear
A truth and a lie
Bully a neighbor
Fess up and brag
Murder a lover and stay silent

Not This Time
05:33
|

Own up to your mistakes
It’s the only way to move forward
You’ve grieved for the heartache
Try to build a time machine, do it over
There no debts to repay
All the guilt’s a sham to keep you under
The risk always outweighs
A big change, of course
But now’s the time there’s no reason to change your mind
I’m breaking free
I’m breaking free
I’m breaking free
Not this time
Sewn in by your worst traits
But just you wait
You’re bustin’ open
You’re gaunt baby you’re faint
But the whole of your strength
Bone wrapped in muscle
Why stay when it won’t change
When you know, you know, you know
You don’t have to be told no
The risk always outweighs
A big change, of course
But now’s the time there’s no reason to change your mind
[chorus]
You can’t keep me down
Don’t you dare
Change your mind
It will take all your might
Break some bones
Take some time
Fortify
