Taping Up

God damn all the love that I bring
She keeps it in a sling and flings it around
Like it's another thing that she just found
I'm gonna swim across your rivers at night
Maybe there's no other side to reach
How many years have we been asleep?
You're mistaken, I'm not like them
The only way you'll know is to let me in
God damn all the love that I bring
She keeps it in a sling and flings it around
Like it's another thing that she just found
Can't decide if she wants to be loved
All I see you do is shove things aside
Just wreckage piling up inside
You're mistaken, I'm not like them
The only way you'll know is to let me in

Heart wrapped in cellophane
Freeze it so it don't hurt no more
Her excuses were so lame
She killed me and wouldn't say what for
Treats me like a stranger now
As if we were just acquaintances
I guess she forgot how she told me I touch her like no one else
Oh my lord, I'm bored and tired
Or am I weak and dumb and a liar
Might be the coldest day
Might be the day when you wake up
Trying to calibrate the words in back with the words in front
Oh my lord, I'm bored and tired
Or am I weak and dumb and a liar

Ghost on the Lawn

You are okay was all that you had to say
Ghost on the lawn, I thought it was gone
The taste is in my mouth, I can't seem to get it out
I know you're scared of feeling anything
It's the same club I'm in
The clouds across your eyes, they keep you inside
I'm down the street, the scene's incomplete
I know you're scared of feeling anything
It's the same club I'm in
Ghost on the lawn, I thought it was gone

Was a Lie
04:04
|
|

Oh my god, a little dream that you were real and you were seen
And we all sighed with relief
But when I woke what did I find
The one I loved fell behind
I chased you until I went blind
For a lie
The kids outside, I hear them play
I want to beg them all to stay
Don't let yourselves get old and gray
But when you do, remember this
The beauty of a gentle kiss that she once placed upon your lips
Was a lie

Holes in a Parachute
03:28
|
|

When you told me you were difficult I thought it was kind of cute
Like sunlight coming through the holes in a parachute
When you told me you were difficult I thought that it would be okay
Inside my eyes you'd find a place you'd want to stay
Why do you hide in the bathroom?
Why do you act so deaf and mute?
You led me down a burning path
Now you pretend we never had what we had
What did we have?
When you told me you were difficult I thought that I should probably leave
Like a hand in a tidal wave trying to believe
When you told me you were difficult I thought that wasn't you mean
Like a wide eyed kid for who the future is pristine
Why do you hide in the bathroom?
Why do you act so deaf and mute?
You led me down a burning path
Now you pretend we never had what we had
What did we have?

Biting Through Bone

Are you kidding me?
Is that the guy that you used to see?
Set me free
I know I'm not perfect but c'mon
Are you fucked up more than you even know?
He's just a shark biting through your bones
Time will tell as only time can do so well
Alarm bells are going off in the halls
Are you fucked up more than you even know?
He's just a shark biting through your bones
Are you kidding me?
Is that the guy that you used to see?
Set me free
I know I'm not perfect but c'mon
Am I fucked up more than I even know?
She's just a shark biting through my bones

Moon & Us
03:59
|
|

Let's say it's love, that's all there is
But it's raining again, tell me what gives
This one fucking time just let it be good
Your hand in mine just like it should
Counting the words off
Birds fell out of my heart
Standing around wondering what's real
If it's found do you think we could deal?
At the end of the day it's us and the moon
It's so far away but it's reaching this room
Counting the words off
Birds fell out of my heart

Open Fields
03:52
|
|

I've got a little tummy ache, it won't seem to go away
Is there more of my heart you wanna break
Because now would be the time okay?
Confused actors on a rickety stage
We forgot where to stand
I want to throw myself off the tallest building
But i don't want to land
If you could hear yourself talking now
Words like stones in a pile
Staring out my window at dawn sipping tea from a cup
I can't figure out what went wrong, I tell myself to shut up
Past and future in an open field laying out in the sun
One points at the other's eye with her fingers shaped like a gun
If you could hear yourself talking now
Words like stones in a pile
And then one morning you'll miss me

Outlined in Chalk

Times up, gather your things
What will you bring with you?
And this I swear, the afternoon light
It's alright and true
You go, I'll stay
What do I know?
It's getting late
Late at night, rubbing your feet
Under the sheets in the dark
While you sleep, the love that you killed
Gets outlined in chalk
You go, I'll stay
What do I know?
It's getting late
