little place
04:21
|

|
i only wanted to be safe
i built a little place
where things would surely go my way
but i have things i want to do outside
the walls are thick enough to stay upright
no matter what collides
and keep the world at bay
but now nobody else can hear my cry
it's not enough x8
now i am struggling to breathe
so badly want to leave
i hope the walls just rot away
through all the simmering and seething
feelings i concede
i fear that i am here to stay
it's not enough x8
woah woah, woah
woah woah, woah
it's not enough x16

your skin folds were paper thin
we couldn't help but take you in
your undercoat was paper white
and i'm reminded every night
we speculate why you were so afraid of smoke
were you abused, or did a fire take your home?
it's so much easier to think one of those two
than it would be to know that there's
somebody else who misses you
and in the face of your disease
your loving charm would never cease
eternal source of comfort right
and you remind me every night
but by the end we saw you tire
your step uneven, frame of wire
what evil power did conspire
to take you from me, start this fire?
we speculate why you were so afraid of smoke
were you abused, or did a fire take your home?
it's so much easier to think one of those two
than it would be to know that there's
somebody else who misses you
ah, ah
we speculate why you were so afraid of smoke
were you abused, or did a fire take your home?

fair weather

if I could call you a fair weather friend
a hurricane started six years ago
and didn't end
'cause after all I did with you, you seem to have forgotten
if you could call us a fair weather band
a flood came in three years ago
and didn't end
'cause after all I did to you, you seem to have remembered
and after all, I don't deserve it any other way
sometimes we get to win a battle
other times we have to lose
whether we stay on the saddle
lies in which losses we choose
if you could call me a fair weather man
i guess it depends on your forecast
'cause after all I did in spite of you
for moving onward
I hope that you've forgiven me
'cause after all the steps away
we built our own paths forward
and after all, we're all okay.

galvanic corrosion
05:20
|

i had a home on solid ground
dry land and plenty of open air
you lived at the bottom of the sea
subject to any kind of wear
you pulled me into your home
my sensitive skin made it so
you and i were galvanic corrosion
you were something more noble
pulling me into the ocean
you and i were galvanic corrosion
you were something more noble
pulling me into the ocean
i withered down to skin and bone
blaming me instead of you
dodging around the plainly there,
i hid myself from what was true
since i'm so far from you now
i can see clearly how
you and i were galvanic corrosion
you were something more noble
pulling me into the ocean
you and i were galvanic corrosion
you were something more noble
pulling me into the ocean
i built a porthole in my bedroom,
i don't know what for
god knows what sorry souls
reside inside the ocean
you'd done it once before
and you would do it a hundred more
if any more would follow you down
to the deep sea floor
how cruel that i should favor blue
when i live near no open sky or sea
obscene to have you favor green
when ice and open water's all you see, oh
you and i were galvanic corrosion
you were something more noble
pulling me into the ocean
you and i were galvanic corrosion
you were something more noble
pulling me into the ocean

to whom it may concern:
i'll never lie.
i'll bake it all inside
and put it on display as nicely iced
and then in time
maybe i will find
that you deserve to know
so you're there for a while
and i prepare to tell you all of it
for just a chance that you are interested
i've got too much practice secret keeping
i am far too used to holding back
i am too invested in your knowing
i am too afraid of going back
you were there for a while
but now you're gone
and now you're gone
ooh, ooh, ooh
and now it's just as though
i've just begun
with no one knowing me
knowing no one
[i've got too much practice secret keeping]
ooh

it isn't right
it isn't right
but i don't have the time to put up a fight
you keep the score
ask me for more
so i just try to write
i'm writing wrong
righting no wrongs
i take all i should share and stuff it in a song
trying at art
falling apart
plodding along
but i don't care anymore
about the way you said that
this could only be a secondary thing
and i don't care anymore
about the way you told me
i could only be somebody in a dream
it isn't right
it isn't right
but i don't have the time to put up a fight
you keep the score
ask me for more
so i just try to write

righting no wrongs

plodding along

plans

plans to make plans follow through falling through
seems to be the only kind of thing that those plans do
i try to move me to make me talk to you
easier to say than it's to do

out in the wilderness
06:03
|
|||
|
i pick 'em for the queen
so many hours a week
i pick 'em when they're red
to make sure they are sweet
i cut 'em carefully
to make 'em safe to eat
but when i gave her them
she said to me:
"i think i bit a cherry pit
while eating cherries that you picked
i could have choked, you must admit;
your punishment is banishment."
and they say
that there's mercy in their ways
but there ain't
no there ain't, no way
they won't say
how they'd rather keep me alive
and away
than dead in their face
i pick 'em for myself
and my family
i pick 'em while they're there
to make sure we can eat
we eat around the pits
out in the wilderness
now life is difficult
and dangerous
there's wild bears, evasive hares
there are no bustling markets here
i miss the tools, the solid roofs
i miss the town where there were rules
and they say
that there's mercy in their ways
but there ain't
no there ain't, no way
they won't say
how they'd rather keep me alive
and away
than dead in their face
i came unhinged, i sought revenge
i used some bait and leather bands
the bear i tame will leave her maimed
and bite her bones without complaint!
i won't claim
that there's mercy in my ways
'cause there ain't,
no there ain't, no way
when they take
away everything but your name
you just may
you may go insane
and they say
that there's mercy in their ways
but there ain't
no there ain't, no way
when they take
away everything but your name
you just may
you may go insane!

how many times
04:20
|
|||
|
afternoon.
can we talk?
i've been thinking about me and you.
me and you
i have said in the past how i feel about you.
that's not changed.
i'm a fool.
if i keep seeing you,
how many times will you have to tell me
that you don't want this - not with me?
how many times will you have to tell me
that you don't want this - not with me?
you're so wonderful;
can't you forgive me for my wishful thinking?
so how many times will you have to tell me
that you don't want this - not with me?
