Oh I love you but my legs do ache
to go to a park or to swim at a lake.
Oh I love you but I can’t relate,
I wanna see other dogs
with similar flaws
that I can relate to.
I don’t like how weak I am when
I’m with you.
When I’m with you.
I don’t like how weak I am when
I’m with you.
When I’m with you,
when I’m with
you.
Oh I love you but you’ll run away,
put you on a leash just to keep you safe.
Oh I love you but my love’s not brave
for I’m getting old
and this house is too cold
to be here without you.
I don’t like how weak I am when
I’m with you.
When I’m with you.
I don’t like how weak I am when
I’m with you.
When I’m with you,
when I’m with
you.

Seashell
05:31

Last time you saw me I was probably
screaming or crying.
Next time you see me I will probably be
daydreaming.
Hold me under,
I don’t need to breathe.
I’ve been staring at the seashells
instead of at the sea.
Driving to the coast
you almost killed us both.
In the hotel room
I’m confined in you.
I get lost too.
Hold me under,
I don’t need to breathe.
I’ve been staring at the seashells
instead of at the sea.
Last time you saw me I was probably
screaming or crying.
Next time you see me I will probably be
daydreaming.

Soft

My best friend
doesn’t want to be soft no more.
My best friends and I
are getting tattoos of swords.
So surrender,
so surrender,
so surrender,
so surrender.

Walking down the halls you used to walk down
with God,
a smile crawls upon your face.
Never mind all the damage he caused,
all that permanent damage,
and yet you’ll never feel so chosen again.
You thought it would be a baptism,
you thought you would be saved,
but he just held you under the water--
and though it just wasn’t the same
you can’t shake it,
you still changed.

“The last few years have been a difficult road for me to walk down yet they have made me a better person. I got so far out of touch with a normal person’s reality. I basically had to start life all over.”
Walking down the halls we used to walk down

Friend
02:53
|

|
My poor friend doesn’t have his own opinions,
because my poor poor friend’s friends won’t
let him have them.
Was he ever my friend at all?
Did I ever know him at all?
‘Cause he only opened up
when he was fucked up.
Yeah, he only opened up
when he was
fucked up.
My old friend doesn’t think very critically
but I used to look past that when
my old friend was friends with me, but:
does he even think thoughts at all?
Or did all of his brain cells dissolve?
Did he think it was alright
when he touched me that one night?
I may have been abused
but at least I’m not like you.

Lie

Getting high
on a lie.
Do you believe
what you say to me?
Do you lie to yourself
like you lie to me?
Getting high
on a lie.
Do you believe
what you say to me?
Do you lie to yourself
like you lie to me?
(Do you lie like I lie?)

Pure

“Beyond all of this it’s all about experiencing pure pleasure and most people… you know we’re only here for a short time and most people don’t ever get to that point and I don’t want to get where I’m 45 and regret anything… It’s all about pleasure… and love… and love… and love.”

Falling Room
06:18

My whole body reduced to
some sort of container for you.
I’m a bag and you’re the wind:
I’m empty though I’ve let you in.
If only I could shield my eyes
from the horizon:
then instead of falling
I would be floating
and instead of chaos
things would be peaceful.
if only I could close my eyes.
I’m staring at the ceiling.
Having the same thoughts again,
I just want for this to end.
Having the same thoughts again,
I just want for this to end.
If only I could shield my eyes
from the horizon:
then instead of falling
I would be floating
and instead of chaos
things would be peaceful.
if only I could close my eyes.
I’m staring at the ceiling.
