Come Over

Take me to the forest
Where you swear you met your maker
I will sit under the foliage
And ask about your father
And the two of us like wild beasts, living for destruction
It’s the two of us and a chain link fence, just needing some connection
Take me to the window
Where you watched it all unfold
I won’t ask about the paper planes
Filling up the basement
Two of us with a beaten lung
Love, when there’s nothing left to be counting on
See, this is what I’ve been feeling
Take their toll on you
See I thought I was a fixture
But even the light moves in the winter
You’re falling out of shape now
And you can’t scrape it together
Come over x2
Take me to the shoreline
After a long and a hard night
The palms of my hands damp
And salty from the inside and the outside of this body
Not sure what you’ve been wanting
Can’t let you get a grip on me
Did you figure the scene was set
And life was just a placement
I’ll try not to notice when you move out of focus
The two of us on the last resort
Of what’s worthy to be hurting for
It’s the two of us by the kitchen sink
Draining out our instinct

Eat My Words

You’re gonna make me eat my words
Satisfied as you serve them up cold
And all the living that I’ve done
Is gonna crawl its way back up my throat
You’re gonna make me, eat,
My words
I thought he was a good man
And I’ve been fantasizing about being ready
I’ve been lonesome now for so long
And I needed to lean my weight on somebody
You’re gonna make me eat my words X2
He came in like Christmas morning
Lord, I was a christian child
It’s so easy to let the dawn in
It’s the afternoon
That’ll run you down
On the phone with the operator
I said listen man, please don’t connect my call
I just like sitting stagnant in the potential
You know I’m too young to know what I want
You’re gonna make me eat my words
All the sun kissed sailors
Are drifting from shore to shore
I’m sitting sulking in front of last nights dinner
Without the heat I don’t want it no more
You’re gonna make me eat my words X2

Cell Song
03:16

Who am I?
When it comes down to it
I stay up late
To watch your cells
Evaporate
Don’t go
Close the film that keeps you in
I can’t wait
To live and be
Born again
I
Think
You
Should
Stay
You should stay
You should stay
You should stay
You should stay
You should
You
X2

This That and the Other
03:38
|

This days got no legs
It’s taking me nowhere
I hung up before the call went through
I got a distant relative
He’s perched upon his castle
Never questioning his name
Or what he’s got to prove
You look like a good time
Through a bar window, late at night
When you can be painted up and falling off
Our slippery sights
Well there’s strength
And there’s vocabulary
So if you take a word, be it cautionary
Only thread doesn’t get the sewing done
Chorus:
There’s this, that and the other
And they band together
Are you hoping
you won’t get caught in the middle
You call it like you see it
Yeah you got reason
Judgments always softer
In the foggy morning light
I toss another afternoon
To the side, its got no use
I’m just looking to get something done
Cuz if I can cross more off my mental list
It’ll blind me, from my lifelessness
As if the drain of youth won’t drip until it droughts
This paradox
Comes at a pilgrims cost
A candy kid, searching for a sugar god
And I’m getting stuck to the stick before the rot
Knowing full well about the sudden drops
In temperature
And what I’ve got
Im convinced I’ve just never
Held strong enough
