Lo and Behold

lo and behold
you will find me again
in the same place that you left me
and so it goes
that you find me suspended
from the same branch of the same tree
and all my efforts go unnoticed
and all my friends are in class
why spill your guts
if you still won't tap send?
always leave me hanging on an ellipses
love gets fucked up
yeah, i don't recommend it
you aren't really missing much, no, trust me
cuz all your efforts go unnoticed
and all your friends grow distant, mhm
all your pleasures are second-best
and all your fears persistant
ba da ba....

Crucial Moment
03:14
|
|||
|
wrote a note you later ate
spent the night and it felt great
for a while we got along
now you're the subject of all my songs
all the words are lost on me
at a most crucial moment
all the words are lost
never can quite clean my plate
simple tasks tend to frustrate
gotta purge my mind of doubt
be much better off without
all the words are lost on me
at a most precious moment
all the words are lost
they are lost
face to face with the strange truth
that i never really saw you
serves me not to scorn the proof
you are not who i thought i knew
all the words just dawn on me
at a pivotal moment
all the words just dawn
they just dawn

First Time
02:11
|

what have you to say for your sweet self you little boy?
was it your first time?
no one left to blame except myself cuz after all,
it's not my first time
playing all your games just like a fool because i thought
you were worth my time
no one wins if we don't follow rules so what's the point?
each touch a war crime
when you take away my vices
i just miss my friends
i'm sure you have great advice
but it's unsolicited
and you lie to fill up empty space
cuz you cannot hide
and you can't escape
so you build your walls
while i chip away
now i have no doubt...
you're who i was warned about

All I Want
02:28
|
|||
|
one might hope
you would die
the fact of life
is it's long and it's hard
just to get by
let you know
how could i
all i know is to crawl til I run
never break stride
all i want
is your freedom
all i want
is your time
all i want is your freedom
all i want...
i can see
in your eyes
the face of a clock that you watch
as we sit here and talk
and minutes speed by
i can heave
heavy sighs
but that's as far as i get
you're cold and you're wet
were you left outside?
all i want is your freedom
all i want is your time
all i want is your freedom
all i want
all i want
all i want...

You've Been Pre-Approved
03:07
|
|||
|
one careful cut in the right place
and all watching eyes protrude
one careless look in the wrong face
and i am the dupe
two frozen hands bound together
your icy heart beats true
two weeks alone in the desert
and i am fool
all these letters crowd my desk
they plead with me, "be like the rest"
and all the calls i will not answer
from the numbers i don't know
three minutes and you're asking,
"just what are you looking for?"
three drinks begins the cascade
of always wanting more
all these letters crowd my desk
they plead with me, "be like the rest"
and all the calls i will not answer
from the numbers i don't know
numbers i don't know

Baited
03:03
|
|||
|
i wait here with baited breath
i have no other plans tonight
will you please ask me out for a drink?
i sit here with my legs crossed
i'm trying to be as coy as possible
and i think i'm failing
oh, what's a girl to do just to get a little touch?
but not too much...
oh, what's a boy to prove, yeah, just to get in touch?
but not too much...
we made love and hated it
but there's nobody else to fuck
would you please slap me hard in the face?
we slept in til four o'clock
and by the time we finally got up
the sun was setting
oh, what's a girl to do just to get a little touch?
but not too much...
oh, what's a boy to prove, yeah, just to get in touch?
but not too much...
but not too much...

I Wanna
01:27

i wanna meet a boy with no shame
i wanna be his toy, his play thing
i wanna ditch our friends
and fool around til 2am
i wanna meet a boy
i wanna be a girl who doesn't give a fuck what you think
i could rule the world if i didn't need somebody
you wanna just be friends
well, i would rather you were dead
i don't wanna be that girl (no!)
i don't wanna be that girl
(girl)
i don't wanna be that girl
girl, girl, girl....

Touch
02:08
|
|||
|
back when i drank and you smoked
touch was the only thing keeping us afloat
one day i shrank when you spoke
love was the only thing tearing us apart
wander through the streets at night
are you trying to pick a fight?
packed up your bags with essentials
told me you had gone a long time ago
it's no surprise, i had surmised you were a ghost for quite some time...
it's just hard to let go
blinded by the city lights
little boy, come home tonight

Bad Habit
02:14
|
|||
|
make it stop... but i can't make it stick
send your love through shitty web cam pics
yeah you're hard and you know i want
why you gotta be so damn distant?
you turn me on just to turn me down
take it off, i have no time for games
it's enough to drive this girl insane
you're a beast, i know you can't be tamed
take me please, before the passion wanes
make no attempts at sentiment...
but i have never seen
(i have never seen)
such a fine human being
(such a human being)
you truly are quite a sight to behold
and i will write this song
(i will write this song)
if you could play along
(if you could play along)
i cannot stand to leave this tale untold
we're getting old...
we're getting old

Externalities
04:33
|
|||
|
look to matter for the meaning
from the meaning sprouts the misery
on this planet we are teeming
parasitical colonies
i see no sign of intelligent life
so let's unpack our bags
and this great land we will divide
i breathe no life into the earth
i find it is too tedious to not just take but to provide
look, a smattering of seedlings
unfurl upward from the ashen soil
in this moment we're conceiving
can it be without blood and toil?
beware, if you hold me closer
i will haunt you for all of your days
dining with restless martyrs
and the other souls who were not saved
bestow the keys to my heart
upon the next eligible knave
i long lost my discernment
i have no concept of what i crave
don't fake
don't judge me
don't tell me
you love me
take it all away from me
take it all away
don't make me
don't touch me
don't hold me
stop thrusting
all your pain into me
i can't see
and deep in the sea
there is evidence of you and me
oh, you and me
retrospect offers the epithet
human being
we're only human beings
