knock

never know when
they're gonna screw you in
they'll tell you the joke once
they know the punchline will sting
just like a wasp's nest
that you somehow miss
too bad they're never
gonna give you a chance
drink it off and tell them
that you tried to make sense
and maybe live with it
oh no i could tell you
you could sing for forgiveness
whoever thought you'd end up like them
there was one place i belonged
i reached real love when i found god
but it was never set in stone
too bad it's never gonna let you fall
you brush it off and try to make sense of it all
and maybe live with it
oh no i can tell you should sing for forgiveness
whoever thought we'd end up like this, no

look alive
04:42
|
|||
so look alive
crack a smile and blink your eyes
all the things you romanticize
are so fucked up
pick up the phone
full moon on a halfway home
blue moon on the radio
so don't look up
i'll be your friend i'll be someone
something to bet
when all the bets are off
cause no one's gonna save our souls
no i don't think so
so walk the line
i'm so sorry clementine
more of yours and less of mine
and more of yours
i saw the news
you'd never guess what they said about you
little lies and a bit of truth
they're catching on
i'll be your friend i'll be someone
something to bleed
when all the blood's gone
cause no one's gonna save our souls
no i don't think so
save your sorrow
fuck tomorrow's antidote
it never meant anything
it never meant anything
it never meant anything
i'll be your friend i'll be someone
something still seen when all the light's are off
cause no one's gonna save my soul
no, i don't think so
no i don't think so
no i don't really think so

seven mile lookout
03:12
|
|||
you know you got a long gone way out
some kind of well that'll never run dry
someday it's gonna ruin your life
if you just give it time
i know you got a seven mile lookout
some kind of place where you can never look back
dressed black in a baseball cap
when we made the pact
there's something now i know
that you never mastered
and you're gonna find out
(never find a reason to live)
you're gonna find out
(never find a reason to live)
i know it's been a long time without
a set of rules for us all abide
one way to get it off your mind
a slow suicide
you know why it all went to hell
empty bottles got paris on your mind
we both know we're past our prime
acquainted with the night
there's something now i know
that you never mastered
and you're never gonna find out
(never find a reason to live)
you're gonna find out
(never gonna see you again)
i've seen it in your eyes
you don't wanna die
you don't wanna end up this way
it come as no surprise
you've been fucking up
never had a choice either way

fold
03:31
|
|||
last night i woke up on the floor
you and me got death at our door
signed your name in the yearbook
symmetry, does it matter anymore
tapered off and i don't know why
you and me know it happens every time
hard to say if i ever really tried
you and me know it happens every time
would it be a miracle by now?
last night i took a few more
you and me got nothing but a fold
anesthetized running ice cold
fuck it all, can't you give me something more
full moon on a starlit night
you and me this is how we're gonna die
steer the truck counterclockwise
you and me this is how we're gonna die
it would be a miracle by now

memory haze
02:15
|
|||
it was a game till the time ran out
memory haze in the bitter clouds
but in my mind there's a better place
but everything spins so far away
cause everybody's got a trick for you
play the game and don't make the rules
but there's no way that'll you'll ever win
they just wanna see you lose again
every chance is another plane
it's too late to ever be the same
and i'm not sure if you ever did
find a place to lay your head
and every fortune must indicate
memory haze in a darker place
but nobody cares about it either way
the look of terror on your face

hunchback
02:49
|
|||
either way i'm ashamed to know why
growing older never taught you how to live
so we'll all die young
meet me in the middle
i'll run this one by you
never then had a place to call mine
something sinister underneath your tongue
so we'll all get stoned
if i could shake the shivering
i'd come out of the cold
never thought that this would come to that
but like a hunchback i'll come crawling back
separate the fiction from the fact
like a hunchback i'll come crawling back
either way i'm a ways from you tonight
ever after never happened after all
so we'll all die alone
separate from the sinners
like seeds you'd never sew
still the same, all the ways that i've been
another city you can run away to hide
until we all get along
tethered to our secrets
our pockets full of stones
never thought that this would come to that
but like a hunchback i'll come crawling back
found yourself a way to dodge the draft
but like a hunchback i'll come crawling back
i'll come crawling back
like a hunchback i'll come crawling back
like a hunchback

downhearted
02:43
|
|||
back then stayed in
every friday night
pulled closed the shades
and sewed them tight
this rose tattoo will never glue
just tell yourself it's coming soon
this valentine under black light
is nothing but an oversight
"i've been downhearted baby,
ever since the day we met"
acquainted with death
it worked back then
you saved the best for last i guess
this neighborhood never felt good
it felt just like i felt it would
this pantomime under black light
is nothing but a waste of time
"i've been downhearted baby,
ever since the day we met
ever since the day we met
every since the day we met"

always often
03:27
|
|||
we could wait all night
i could pull the weight
figured out our hell
we could raise the stakes
you're never gonna pay them off
so why don't you stay
the timing's gonna throw you off
you'll never be fine this way
dream me alive
bring me back to our last supper
smoke inside
always often
always often
we didn't know the score
but i let them sing
could have slowed it down
but i let you wait
you're never gonna pay them off
so why don't you stay
the timing's gonna throw you off
you'll never be fine this way
dream me alive
bring me back to our last supper
smoking inside
always often
always often

bedsore
01:07
|
|||
don't wanna be the one that you call home
it's the same thing in my dreams
except you're shining
don't wanna be the one
you hold by the throat
we could dash down by the river and uphold
i don't wanna be a human being anymore
we could cross out all the reasons
we get drunk so much
it's the same in my dreams except you've known

racecar
03:56
|
|||
i believe there's a racecar for me
running off of the speedway
and onto the street
one step closer to harmony
curled up in the suitcase
and thrown out to sea
run the tape back and forwards
and see it's the same
if i'm gonna leave leave here tomorrow
i hope it's okay
tell if there's a reason you want me to stay
and i'll drive this racecar to you
i believe there's a black hole in me
rolled out on the freeway
got you down on your knees
is there more of a future to see
nothing more than a streetlamp shining down over me
run the tape back and forwards
you'll see its the same
if i'm gonna leave leave here tomorrow
i hope you're okay
tell me if there's some reason you want me to stay
and i'll drive this racecar back to you

shampoo (demo)
03:02
|
|||
and we’ll all get to sleep somehow
i’ll be singing in a bottle by the time you get up
alexandra was a gift from hell
hollow-body synced up from the devil himself
and i keep running to the corner store
eleven dollars for the hours that were meant for us both
i don’t make a lot of noise anymore
four walls paper thin don’t disturb anyone
uh huh
i don’t know why they said it’d help
still i did what i did cause i needed it now
and i’ll admit that i wasn’t well
little tricks for the boys just to ride the wave out
and you never did use shampoo
sought the kids who were cool
just to show you the rules
still i learned all of this from you
i don’t know what i need anymore but the truth
uh huh

bellwether
03:05
|
|||
we could hold our breath forever
til our lungs give out
until all the ties are severed
and i'm stuck in doubt
are you wondering now
and the walls still crawl with spiders
turn me inside out
still so stranded my bellwether
not the one to doubt
are you wondering now
da da da da

glue
01:58
|
|||
i think it's almost gone
i think there's something wrong
i don't think that the sun will stay up for long
i got a stomachache
you wanna feel the same
close your eyes
and i sink this seal on your brain
maybe before i go
i might just let you know
cause i can't figure how to think straight anymore
i'll make it up soon that's all i wanna do
i've been thinking up crazy things about you

bus stop
02:20
|
|||
i got off at the wrong bus stop
i got a ticket whether she likes it or not
there's a fast car waiting in her driveway
while he's playing songs that all just sound the same
you got a doorway that i think that i could run through
and there's a cooler in the freezer that i saved you
you thought you saw me but i'm only on the wall
in a picture because he knows it's all his fault
and there's a bullet in the gun that you're hiding
with your portraits and your diary and your writings
i thought i knew you but i only saw myself
in the mirror that was hanging in your cell
cannot wake up but i still think that you're cool
cause i know that you don't like to follow the rules
and i didn't have luck with your present
said the same since you were eleven
i'm not trying to be twisted but i know
that this thing is just not under my control
i thought i knew it but i only had it best
your little sister said she thinks she knows it best
and i couldn't hitch a ride off my heart
i mistreated cause i wasn't that smart
and you were making funny faces at the trains
and i was trying to catch a taxi in the rain

hide your heavy eyes
the sun is going down
it's a little dead
it's gonna put you down
six to five
just tell me what you want
serve to smile
i've gotta get going
i've gotta get going

nightingale
04:00
|
|||
ripped from the inside
and out of your neck
i was food for the night owl
food for the nightingale
here for the meantime
just hours to spend
i guess we're running out of time
running out of all the nightmares you staved
you scribbed them out
pacing the night away
up and down
never know where all their eyes look now
way out of bounds
lonely in love again, lonely without
moonshine like sunlight
i wait for the click
i was food for the mayfly
food for the nightingale
tone deaf and tongue tied
the words never stick
and you're never gonna get em right
never gonna find the right thing to say
so sing it out loud
eavesdropped on everything, figured you out
you never where other guys look now
way out of town
longing for love again lust for now
sing for the night
sing for the nightingale
thinking aloud wonder where you go
sing for a sign
sing for the nights you say
you strayed away from your mother's arms
pondering every thought
you shivered out loud
in the middle of the night
ducked down the alleyway, got strung out
you never know what's on their mind's anyhow
something unsound
fall back in sync again fall back out
you're never gonna get out
i've been down
deep in the throes of it, frozen ground
you'll never know just what they took for you now
will never be found
loved like a family, loved somehow
but you're never gonna get out
da da da da
you're never gonna get out
but you're never gonna get out
you're never gonna get out this time

where do you go when I'm not around
who do you love when I'm out of town
the butcher, the baker
the thin undertaker who makes not a sound
who do you love when I'm out of town
have all my dreams come tumbling down
who's in your arms where I used to drown
the old money lender
the lonely bartender the carnival clown
who do you love when I'm out of town
don't say it doesn't matter anyway
because it doesn't matter what you say
all our pages are turning to brown
we're breaking up and I'm breaking down
the man in the forest
the dashing young florist, the nurse musclebound
who do you love when I'm out of town

guiding light
03:10
|
|||
ever after
does it matter anymore
unbelievers will never need us
so long ago
hide the horror
fuck tomorrow
i found a home
don't you hate it
i can't take it
a puppet show
i know that there's a better life coming
you never die if you keep on running
i know that there's a better light coming
i think that there's a guiding light coming
never die if you keep on running
know that there's a guiding light coming
