No Bones
02:41
|

|
I've been in luck for longer than I expected
take is the way, I wanna be rejecting
all things are made up of all the pretty non-things
ecosystems of
Mites and dust and hope and shy molecules
Hey I've got no bones
to pick with you
so I'm giving up the ghost
for, just for you
You say you don't care
you say that its not your problem like
you don't move the air
a stasis ape of no consequences
is that what we teach our kids?
is that what you expect us to live on
regrets of selfishness
well some of us get something more out of this
Hey I've got no bones
to pick with you
so I'm giving up the ghost
for a moment or two
For all I want for all I am
god bless this place, this place I am
I've talked to rock spirits, my brothers,
their voices ring true
you are what you repeat you are what you repeat you are what you repeat
Hey I've got no bones
to pick with you
so I'm giving up the ghost
for a moment or two
Hey I've got no bones
to pick with you

Are you worried now?
Can you feel me still?
At the end of your
Pepperbox revolver
Are you 50/50?
Are you push or hold fast?
You got a an itch, you'll let it be
And I'll be out to sea
Nanananana
Singing as we go down
Like it or not, we're interdependent
You say the waters bad and I dont agree
So we'll both go down
Needlessly
Its just force of habit
Welcome to the construct
Where I'm untouchable, your some kindof holy ghost
My queasy daydreaming
In little love hurricanes
Nanananana
Singing as we go down
Who's stuck who's free?
Agree to disagree
Our children's wandering eyes
they don't land quite right
Make the sign of the cross
Don't look at me like that
It's just force of habit

Beside Myself
03:05
|
|||
|
You've got a way of living it out
You've got a way of loving way down
Anchored to some wild hellhound
Who lifts you up where you belong
Oh god I think I'm in love
In a way I cannot trust myself
Completely absorbed into something else
Tighten my tether my spirits free
Tighten my tether my spirits free
Suckered back to the greenest times
If I'm living there I betray my mind
You tell me to freefloat with no backtrack
You've always had that knack
Oh god I think I'm in love
In a way I cannot trust myself
Completely absorbed into something else
Tighten my tether my spirits free
Tighten my tether my spirits free
Oh god I think I'm in love
In a way I cannot trust myself
Completely absorbed into something else
Oh god I know I'm in love
In a way I cannot trust myself
A simple parasite to your light
Just ignore me but hold on tight
Just ignore me but hold on tight

Watered Down
04:21
|

|
Back and forth
It's all the latter chatter
I got circling me
Louder
Come on sicko I know you're hearing me
Let me back, let me back
I promised to be good I'm in love with a time machine
It's easy come easy go
Catching the brain flow spinning just right at earth speed
I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid
And I'm strangely content
Yeah
Woke and broke
I feel the love most when
I'm staring down the edge
Laugh it off
Cash-claw zig-saw
Beying for happiness
Melody
Whistling mockingbird
forever asking to sing
Grind it out love labour is'nt a labour
When you're part of a living thing
I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid
And I'm strangely content
Yeah
With you I found
How to dream on the ground
Our backs with the wind
Head down merrily rowin
With you I found
How to dream on the ground
Our backs with the wind
Head down merrily rowin
Hit the fifth
I feel the love most when I'm
Staring down the edge
Louder
Whistling mockingbird forever at my door
So scared excited primed
Just to see what you got lying in store
I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid
I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid
And I'm strangely content
And I'm strangely content

Negative Sick
04:00
|
|||
|
I could tell you all about
my seventh streak of darkness
but that is a right that belongs to my true friends
yeah I love myself
why am I afraid to say it?
When did self-depreciation get so cool?
I'm just a bit negative sick
Do you ever think about your words?
their heaviness their power
hit post on an impulse -- it's butterflies to hurricanes
do you even know where they go?
In who's mind they circle?
In a swipe end a life, make another person's day
I can't believe the noise
rising thoughts exponential
all smiling at me in unison
I get the left side out
to find the timing's off
some thoughts are meant to grow
some thoughts are meant to die
that's what I learned about peace of mind
I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick
I can't believe the noise
rising thoughts exponential
all smiling at me in unison
I get the left side out
to find the timing's off
some thoughts are meant to grow
some thoughts are meant to die
that's what I learned about peace of mind
I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick
take three breaths, pivot and push
take three breaths, pivot and push

You've got a nice look to you
did you see me in the mirror?
I'm just a little bit pent up
yeah I know the feeling
hey do you like dogs?
yeah I've got two, even they're a little lonely
lol, me too
you wanna meet up? I know a place
who's playing?
does it matter? *winky face*
look out, it's an attack on femininity
and the irony
that's the very energy that saves us
I guess we'll just be
stupid guys, stags in cages
don't you see? you lost yours too
hey girl, something just happened
what babe how you doing?
no I'm serious I'm really freaking out
that's it, I'm coming over
faster please
look out, it's an attack on femininity
and the irony
that's the very energy that saves us
I guess we'll just be
stupid guys, stags in cages
don't you see? you lost yours too
hey we need to talk
oh I was just having a little fun
what the hell does that mean, (what do you) think I am?
where you going I'm talking to you
you ghosting piece of **** shell of a person, where you going say something
I'm talking to you
look out, it's an attack on femininity
and the irony
that's the very energy that saves us
I guess we'll just be
stupid guys, stags in cages
don't you see? you lost yours too
I bet you're feeling it now I bet you're feeling it now I bet you're feeling it now I bet you're feeling it now I bet you're feeling it now
I bet you're feeling it now
I bet you're feeling it
oh no this isn't me, oh no this isn't me

8 Directions
04:10
|
|||
|
As the shadows chase their tails
Hiding underneath the lights on the road
I'm speeding into circles, just like them
Just like them
Just like them
Just like them
As I'm pulled in 8 directions
Thank you for this expansion
'cause all I've got are these blanks
In my head
Their nothing at all
Their nothing at all
Their nothing at all
Never tried letting go
Not sure that I ever will
Never tried letting go
(Is this a safe place? Are you listening?)
Dont think it's even possible
(Is it just a lie? We pretend to know?)
So I'm never letting go
(Just a snowball, ever tumbling)
Just don't think its even possible
Let's just float here for awhile
Let's just float here for awhile

Senses Out
04:13
|

|
So take my words at face value
Your sensitivity makes you true
It'll carry you through the deepest hell
Your sensational with your senses out
Boy you are more than a man
More like a river of volumes
Branches wide currents unknown
What a joy to behold
So take my words at face value
Your sensitivity makes you true
It'll carry you through the deepest hell
Your sensational with your senses out
Darkness wears a tail of love
Hopeless dreamers know well enough
Everything bad is just jealous light
Rainbow girl's got nothing now
So take my words at face value
Your sensitivity makes you true
It'll carry you through the deepest hell
Your sensational with your senses out
Shut your eyes, count 100
You've done it before you can do it again
Say a prayer or nothing at all
Whatever keeps you just the way you are
Shut your eyes, count 100
You've done it before you can do it again
Say a prayer or nothing at all
Whatever keeps you just the way you are

Shut Me Out
03:53
|
|||
|
I guess it's just another day on the brink
I drown in coffee and then I drown in drink
Hide headlines, plug my ears, duck the feed
All while teaching my sweet boy how to read
Something's wrong with me
I'm thanking God for the good TV
I miss the faces down the street
So shut me out and lie to me
I'm so drunk on the tragedies
I get worried when I'm happy
I know that boredom is a new fear to me
All my houseplants can see right through to me
Is it Sunday, yeah it's Sunday, no it's Monday
Have I worried yet about my body?
Something's wrong with me
I've got Icebergs in my dreams
I'm so damn worried about the bees
so shut me out and lie to me
when the bird's lost phenology
shut me out and lie to me
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
Something's wrong with me
I'm thanking God for the good TV
I miss the faces of enemies
So shut me out and lie to me
I'm riddled with anxiety
but I'll relearn how to be happy
but I'll relearn how to be happy
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
shut me out shut me out shut me out

Wounded Animal
04:08
|
|||
|
Look at the world outside
I'm old and afraid of the height
we said you'd get, it didn't turn out like I bet
and mother earth and I
I said I cared but I lied
just wanna get by, so you can save the world
I'm afraid of dominoes
So it just goes on and on
another old man with bombs
I'm sorry you were never loved
you fight just like a wounded animal
I'm from the golden age
so whatever I think, I can say
what damage has that ever done anyway?
I think it's about control
when I lose it I turn to mould
the people around me, it makes me feel alive
they're from a lesser world than mine
So it just goes on and on
another old man with bombs
I'm sorry you were never loved
you fight just like a wounded animal
So maybe while you wait to die
you hand over the world its time
and give us back our wombs and souls
I'm sorry your so self absorbed
you fight just like a wounded animal
just like a wounded animal
oh no
do you think they see?
they can never see the real me
oh no
do you think they see?
they can never see the real me
and mother earth and I
I said I cared but I lied
just wanna get by so you can save the world
I'm afraid of dominoes
So it just goes on and on
another old man with bombs
I'm sorry you were never loved
you fight just like a wounded animal
so maybe while you wait to die
you hand over the world its time
and give us back our wombs and souls
I'm sorry your so self absorbed
you fight just like a wounded animal
just like a wounded animal
just like a wounded animal

Shut Up And Be Kind
04:28
|
|||
|
When I saw you kneeling on the streets
A part of me died and was revived
It's an honour to watch
And though I'll never understand
I'll never stop trying to because
I owe it to you
But I've been wasting time
whitewashing all these monster's crimes
and I am all like
It's not me I feel guilty what can I possibly do next time?
So I'll shut up and be kind
All the lines of children's shoes
stopped us parents dead in our tracks
we see it as an attack
Can a heart break 751 times in a day and be ok?
No possible way
Mother Earth is on your side
I'm jealous of that, but that's just fine
I'll cheer from the sidelines
But I've been wasting time
Whitewashing all these monster's crimes
and I am all like
It's not me I feel guilty what can I possibly do next time?
So I'll shut up and be kind
That black pickup was straight from Hell
A sickness born right outside my house
And it took you away
As black and red transform into
Purple and green I promise you
That we're listening
But I've been wasting time
whitewashing all these monster's crimes
and I'm just like
It's not me I feel guilty what can I possibly do next time?
I've been wasting time
whitewashing all these monster's crimes
and I'm just like
It's not me I feel guilty what can I possibly do next time?
So I'll shut up and be kind
I'll shut up and be kind
I'll shut up and be kind

Social Pressure
04:13
|
|||
|
I can do it with 1 or 2 or 3
but with 8 something trips inside of me
like my brain's too free
Breathe it out, or think of my happy place
sometimes it works, sometimes its just to
save my face
tools have their limits too
'Cause
I'm feeling lots of social pressure
and I'm feeling like I'm so damn old
nevermind all the good intentions
I just find they get bought and sold
I'm feeling lots of social pressure
and I'm feeling like I'm so damn old
I'm just headed straight uphill, while
taking crazy pills
It's raw and red
and yeah I'll pull you down
soft pillows are hardened by the sound
don't wanna remember them
no I got it and you'll just slow me down
just growing my roots well underground
and I'm just skeptical
'Cause
I'm feeling lots of social pressure
and I'm feeling like I'm so damn old
nevermind all the good intentions
I just find they get bought and sold
I'm feeling lots of social pressure
and I'm feeling like I'm so damn old
I'm just headed straight uphill, while
taking crazy pills
Yeah sure it's all because of me
well God ****s your old philosophies
they'll be the death of us
I'm yelling but you're not listening
every breath's is a new beginning
I'm desperate for you to understand that
I'm feeling lots of social pressure
and I'm feeling like I'm so damn old
take in all the good intentions
'cause you never know
the sun is out the sun is out the sun is out
the sun is out the sun is out the sun is out
the sun is out the sun is out the sun is out
the sun is out the sun is out the sun's out
the sun is out the sun is out the sun is out
the sun is out the sun is out the sun is out
the sun is out the sun is out the sun is out
the sun is out the sun is out
the sun is out

Morningtime
04:01
|

|
I fell inside myself again
less of the pieces and more the in-betweens
when I think of you, you're mostly space
but hey me too
your inside me now, no separation
It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye and hi hello
I need a reason to, make my way through
I need a purpose too, I got questions
I need proof
Infinite galaxies in every life and you're still
dreaming desert skies and diamond lies
It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye
it's Morningtime so shine sublime
energy in emptiness
potential sleeping love will wait
so goodbye
and hi hello
hi hello
The air's so thin up here
everything falls, everything slips
gotta make this stick
perpetuate all my gifts
why you're the luckiest thing
I've ever seen, round all these lights
so give your dreams to the ground
it's sold trust
It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye
it's Morningtime so shine sublime
energy in emptiness
potential sleeping love will wait
so goodbye
It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye
it's Morningtime so shine sublime
energy in emptiness
potential sleeping love will wait
so goodbye
and hi hello
hi hello
hi hello
hi hello
goodbye and hi hello
