Harvest 03:03
i grew fruit for you i was inspired by the things you do but so bruised and battered too i'm sorry i must have picked them too soon you're ensnared in a chasm so deep never fleeing from their mistreats you have only a wooden ladder and you're burning it for heat and comfort i grew fruit for you they're finally ripe i know you want them too sewn to reap, the blue moon looms i have only forty-three weeks till next june but there's a hole in my vision it's like a cigarette burn in a film strip i was bored at a park of amusements i was losing my sense of improvement so i will rise above my pessimism it's ruining my life
2.
Moth 03:27
life's looking up these days i'll find a way to make it all go away your body; an apple, pear, love lockets i am drawn to the flame i know why it hurt so bad i'd tend to your wounds, you're all i had you're my satellite, undeserving i hope you'd want to stay i need your honesty just for the night your light could stay keep me warm with your affection i think a lot about those things i won't tie control to your strings they're keeping you from me they're keeping you i know that it makes you sad i'm like this every damn day when you wrap your legs around me i'll have nothing to say look at the mess we make
3.
Hummingbird 04:24
a message from a friend don’t screw this up, she’s the one for you you’re a presage for those around you you can’t botch this one this is your first call back and the first day of the rest of your life peel back the skin lose yourself in bliss there’s no love outside of you twist, corrupt, and turn askew you will see the angle sometimes lost but not mangled the hummingbird sings a song the rhythm so sweet but our ears won’t ever listen paired together by a sounding cadence darling, don’t you fret i've still got a thousand words that can bring you back to life they will bring you back to life revelations, all laden with taxes they’ll start from within kill the thoughts that chagrin o, selfish me o, so it seems trapped in a dream world of synthetic voices i’ll fight for you
4.
False Halo 03:48
i now have words for things i couldn’t express and now i’m feeling the aftermath you’re so cold and you’re turning your shoulder on me it’s freezing i won’t stay long, i swear can i stay somewhere, anywhere, i don’t care i stopped going to parties my shoulders now freezing but my heart’s still pumping so we started smoking you said, ‘you’ve got to stop calling me every night those spirits won’t calm but only haunt us’ i don’t care so i teased you and you, the coquette created symmetry that others lack with your body
5.
Catch 03:57 video
all my friends say i’m a catch but I wonder if they caught on to me because i’ve been dropped a few times we’re in a boat with many holes but i can swim and i don’t need a life vest, thanks i can preserve my own life would we stay true, me and you i won’t succumb to you i’ll stay the same as i found myself you’re really good at making me feel bad about myself but I won’t let that get to me because i shouldn’t care for lack of a better phrase, you suck that's right, you suck welcome to the bridge you’ll stay on that side like i want you to it’s sad, what i do harboring hate for those that are like you i won’t succumb to you i’ll stay the same as i’ve always been in spite of everything you do hate for those that are like you pay for everything you do
6.
Hold Me Down 03:24
with the sunrise brings the day and light but i am the sunset it’s time i awake to a brand new day i won’t move to lay again what made you think that i’d be laid to the ground so easily can i say, your eyes they caught me i stare so inconspicuously your legs can balance with the sea my words will only make you dream your friends, they up and ate me through titanic tummies i’m swimming my friends on quick-sinking sand quench your thirst with such demand for things will get so hot and heavy i’m always there for you, i’m ready i take things one step further it’s two steps back from you, you pester and i know we’re better than this i know we’re brighter than this i know we’re bolder, smarter than this when things got so much better we seemed to fall even lower you’re out on the town you’re wearing your gown to cover your crown don’t make a sound and i’d like to see you try to hold me down why don’t you hold me down? hold me now
7.
Virgin Rock 03:03
you didn't so don't tell me that you tried so hard no, you didn't try at all you're sorry you missed my call i hate this new form of communication only reason we conform is for fornication but isn't everything we all had something we were interested in but we lost sight of it at the age of thirteen when the puberty and pharmaceuticals set in doctor, fix me they didn’t yea they told me that they tried so hard so i’m not good for you right now you’ll look for my love next fall you tell me off like i'm some sort of lover why, what do you take me for some sort of first-class whore you tried to sew me up, my stitches falling out revealing spine i crave i traced, my blood was leaking
8.
it's not your fault, it’s not my fault it's not anybody's to take we're not the same, it's just the pain it's not anything we should make of it it's not the time, it’s not the place for anyone to take each other's names it's just my life, it's not your life what the hell do you care if i ache it makes you happy when i trip and fall you'll just call me sappy you've got no self-control maybe i'll find a friend or two in these next few weeks i swear you've lost a smile or two in these past few nights sometimes i want, i need just to get away from you all but now's not the time, now's not the place i need you all here to lift me up if it makes you happy i’ll remove my eyes so that I’m always indifferent to the changes in my life let's not talk now, it’s far too late our faces morph and become estranged i wake in the morning to remember my name i've dreamt too much and i'm not the same my red insatiable hunger i’m starving my id i hope it might make me feel new i can’t do this for you
9.
Faking It 03:11
the time that i spend in a box with no sunshine my emotions like a garden roses, violets, and sunflowers i will break apart the mold that i’ve gained such strength from because i’m no longer comfortable but i’d hate to see you all go i’m trying to figure you out i took a class on psychology the answer’s been here all along it should’ve been philosophy i’ve learned so much but i know so little i’m breaking apart the mold i can’t take it anymore i know that you don’t need me now i know that you don’t care but it takes a lot to just let go so go on, get out of my hair
10.
Reprise 02:38
warping rooms and lame drunk teenagers in a past life you'd stay away universities and institutions they’re what took you away mary, do you wanna prescribe me drugs mary, do you wanna lie down with me, love ingrained and never enough it was so easy to laugh now demented and skewed you were always keeping track of what i never do i just wanted a reason to fight all my feelings do you want to believe in a life without meaning this is what you wanted this is what we wanted at younger years you were daunted to satisfy your hunger slide glass, touch, flaunt it
11.
Youniverse 07:06
for the record, i can sleep again without light, without noise for the record, i bought a guitar it plays so well and suits me hey you, can you hear me it's just the universe in me all encompassing for the record, beasts have been haunting my dreams such vivid nightmares filled with despair in all my effort, we’re living on a seeded street bobbing through garbage cans they'll eat me i can’t see you, don’t think i want to the universe in me the universe, it sees all encompassing it’s all in my compass, see no regret, regrets not they've tailored quite the shop for me isotopes, fair equal space the tv flickers forever in your place circles, we fly in circles, we fight in i spilled my guts out for all to see now dig all our graves up, what’s left to bleed out overdue it’s not the end, stellar remnants blooming as if flowers in the sky inspired you believe in the constant, ever-changing, not that fundamental fraud damaged you i can’t sleep now, too many sheep to tend to and i’ve counted every one amorous you every thing and every one i have loved, you are a part of this song
