1.Excuses
You tried to taste me
And I taped my tounge to the southern tip of your body
The bones are too heavy to come up
Squished into a single cell of wood
Oooooooh .... Oooooooooh
And I made an excuse
You found another way to tell the truth
I put no one else above us
We'll still be best friends when all turns to dust
Oooooooh .... da-da-da-da-da
Dum du-dum du-dum du-dum du-du-dum
(repeat)
da-da-da-da-da
(repeat)
We are so smooth now
Our edges are beaten drift wood widdled down
Old bodies slip when they make love
We'll mine our sparks to shoot us above
2.Promises
This spirit is holding us down
Pushing our shoulders in deep.
Pulling us through the light,
Toasted our backs in the sun.
And I'm waiting to hear my next call
We got our bodies pressed in against the wall.
Now our days are set straight,
We're seeing it all eye to eye.
The balance is still chasing after,
Just hanging on as you walk by.
And they say it's only natural,
They say we're coming along just fine.
But I can't help thinking we grew up too fast,
And I know, I know this won't last, a second longer than it has.
Children you will, be cared for at once,
And wanted our arms like, promises plucked from above.
This world is only getting smaller,
The choices aren't ours to be made.
I'm into wasting my days,
I feel like wasting my days.
And I've seen what's coming on,
And I can't say it will all be fine.
And I can't help thinking we grew up too fast,
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast
And I know, I know, I know this won't last,
A second longer than it has.
3.Wet Cement
we met one day in wet cement
where we glued our eyes shut
and pressed with our fists
and while the trees are shrinking now
they forgot their roots
and sloped in the ground
and while I'm picking out my favorite names
where our future is concerned
in the steady blur of the days
what brought us here, why we try to say
we face back all the way
now the cement's hardened in my chest
a world of wax
scraped in through text
and someone was calling just before I woke up
my broken record spits good and bad luck
and with my broken, pale black eyes
I still see white when the snow falls lightly
in the steady blur of the days
what brought us here, why we try to say
but we face back all the way
4.Cold War (Nice Clean Fight)
I know a way out!＊
If you catch my drift
Hold it close to your heart
Let's just breath
So just count it off
The worst is over
At worst we standstill
Through the night
Spin it back now
In through the out
We want a nice clean fight
No blood, no bite
And when the end is near
Let's just be frank
Let it sit be still
We'll me in the middle. Come on!
Inside of me, it's hot as iron,
I feel like I could pass in the night.
Spin it back now
In through the out
We want a nice clean fight
No blood, no bite
And when the end is near
Let's just be frank
Let it sit be still
We'll keep this war cold
Meet in the middle, come on!
5.Pleasure Sighs
here I am again
trying to relearn how to breathe
and how easy it sinks
and slips away from me
what has become
of those simple loves
that came to me once, so naturally
sitting in my box
I am reading alive
disconnecting dots
that I twisted in my eyes
what has become
of those simple loves
that came to me once, so naturally
6.Hand Me Downs
rip it out, deep from the ground
so nothing grows back in its place
don't keep it alive when it touches the air
let it die cold in the summer day
when we fall
when we fall
when we fall far away
oh, when their bony children will cause seasons to change
every day
when it's time for the first breath
let it be one smooth sail
cut up real
let me see the inside
selfish claims love at first sight
when we hand
when we hand
when we hand down our hopes
oh, who will be the first to realize
they're all alone
when we fall
when we fall
when we fall far away
oh, when their bony children will cause seasons to change
rip it out, deep from the ground
so nothing grows back in its place
don't keep it alive when it touches the air
let it die cold in the summer day
when it's time for the first breath
let it be one smooth sail
cut up real
let me see the inside
selfish claims love at first sight
7.Mason Jar
stuck in a mason jar
where I sealed up my heart
I take it out once a week
to donate to charity
and through my old grey eyes
I watch the colors change in the sky
as the world slowly turns
and they all collapse
don't hear them knocking at the door
you forgive the one thing
they just want more
don't hear a word they try to say
so do us a favor and go on your own way
and all my pictures fall apart
and all my dogs have lost their bark
while the leaves quickly change and leave me in their waste
and I know I do it to myself
yes, I know I do it to myself
old spirits hold tight
but jump in when the temperature's right
don't hear them knocking at the door
you forgive the one thing
they just want more
don't hear a word they try to say
so do us a favor and go on your own way
(on your own way)
8.All Day Day Light
What can only be here
To get to ？？
I grew up in a town much different than this one
With a language upside down
So we can't talk about it
You try your best to stay awake
I've been empty in so long
I don't know which hope i should take
Then you put me on this vacation
So it's really not the town
It's winter halfway across the world
Somewhere its bright daylight
And somewhere someone sails the ocean
Somewhere someone's telling the seas
Somewhere someone's calling out my name
Somewhere they can't see me
They can't see me
I lived in the background
I sleep behind the scenes
I had someone take all my calls
And watched them outplay me
And I can't believe what you're hearing
I can't believe what you said
I can't believe I can't find this damn address
Before I drop dead
And somewhere someone sails the ocean
And somewhere someone's running the streets
Somewhere someone's calling out my name
Somewhere they're looking for me
9.Stitches
words will break us down
where you can't make a sound
and tear you along every different line
and spit it away
for so long
for so long
and this may hurt a bit
breaking out your stitch
you spelled it out so many times
so spit it away
for so long
for so long
(you don't know me by name)
(you don't know me by name)
and you don't know me by name
(still cold)
you don't know me by name
you don't know me by name
(still cold)
you don't know me by name
(still cold) x9
(you don't know me by name)
(still cold)
(still cold)
(you don't know me by name)
(still cold)
(still cold)
