ur Furniture 03:31
I’m nervous Oh, what can I say? Like, I’m so young, And I’ve only done this once before today Lip service For the drink in my hand, Anyways you’re over there And I’m spilling sticky shit on your new duvet How do I work this? In my glance I try to tell you that All my life I’ve been searching for someone like Someone like someone like you I know when I go to bed, I’ll burn alive in sheets confined, You’re turning into the someone on my mind now you’ll sleep inside my head, Just for the night but I promise you There’s plenty of room For you to take your time I gotta tell you I’m feeling bad The other day I left you without a word ‘Cause I got it on the table and on the sofa too I don’t know what to say I’ll give you money or anything All this time, I’ve been searching for somebody somebody somebody new I know when I go to bed, I’ll burn alive in sheets confined, You’re turning into the someone on my mind now you’ll sleep inside my head, Just for the night but I promise you There’s plenty of room For you to take your time

quiet couple 02:34
I don’t wanna give you the wrong impression I’m just stressing Are you having a good time? Are you having fun with me tonight? Is everything alright with you? I’m into overthinking things I’m hoping this silence, it doesn’t sting I don’t even mind it Even if I was deaf and blinded, If you were in the room, I wouldn’t mind Why don’t you tell me, baby Are we the dining dead? Leaving far too much unsaid I think we’re just a quiet couple Our silence says double But do you feel the same?

Fifth sci-fi you’ve seen this year Another keychain souvenir The only music I’d die to hear Scribble in your tiny pages Secrets of the modern ages Tell your mother I can still be changed Hold me with a gun I’ll let you take it all 200 grand Your mask will not fall Sing soft, songs undone Act like we’re not alone But wind could scrape sand And I’d know how many grains were blown Something sweet inside your kitchen As you make your first incision Is it love or is it just me When I last caught your glances My dress, the circumstances Did I lose you, or did you choose to leave Certainty ‘Cause she sounds just like you The Only Place I’ll close my eyes and see your face Did you choose to leave

Observation just brings me confusion Expectation traded for a new contusion You gave me so much, and I don’t know what I’m to start with I somehow left with less than what I came with, what I came with Is this entertaining to you? Is this entertaining to you? Give me your life and I’ll swallow it whole I’ll put the pieces together But it’s been two weeks and I can’t tell whether This is one big joke you have the pleasure Of playing on me I might fill the space with nonsense, but I have no choice Can’t you tell the silence pains me? I cant read your mind You hide the colors behind your eyelids, just give me a sign

Permafrost 04:07
I can hardly disagree The words you’re calling me You know so much better than I do What it is you think I’m going through I can feel you standing there I know you wonder where Did I put the love I had for you Why am I so quiet and confused You might think that I’m really hurt, I’m not My heart is buried far beneath the permafrost I don’t think I understand Why I should lend a hand To the things that bring me down so low So I put them down below the snow Tell me that I’m bitter now That I’ve forgotten how We had so much love just yesterday Back before I threw it all away I know you would do the same It’s just to spare the pain There’s never a love without a loss My heart is buried far beneath the permafrost You might think that I’m really hurt, I’m not My heart is buried far beneath the permafrost My heart is buried far beneath the permafrost

Your soft kiss falls on deaf lips Your touch on my dead limbs Did it feel like I wanted you I wanted you Did it feel like I wanted you then And I’ll repent for the things I never did with you And I’ll confess to the god of what you wanted me to do And I’ll try my best to hold you half as tight And I’ll find a way to be with you tonight But when you hold me I find it easy to believe That I won’t die Tomorrow, or next week You’d give me anything And I’ll take everything Oh why can’t I Love you similarly Can’t I love you Can’t I love you Can’t I love you Can’t I love you Your soft kiss falls on deaf lips Your touch on my dead limbs Did it feel like I wanted you I wanted you

slowly 06:54
On the knife of a cold night As we cut the street in two Like the moon you stand perfectly Out a window, through the trees Just for me to view I’m a modern kind of man I can be in 3 places at once I won’t turn it off Maybe look at 3 faces at once Maybe hold 3 embraces at once I can’t turn it off I turn when you draw on your cigarette Would I hurt myself in front of you While you look at me with eyes that I cannot explain Oh, you don’t dislike me And I don’t know what to say Now I cough violently I don’t mind because I know The smoke I breathe was yours Just moments ago You could wear me on your hand Oh, I’ll doze off to your voice But how many nights will it take For me to see you Pressing that flame into my palm Was it so simple all along Love me Just, slowly

Reason 2 04:25
A couple Sundays left Another deadline met One more Super Bowl ’Til I can drink myself to death You’re coming over now Do you ever think “wow I climbed the stairs I could fall back down Would I go to heaven” I just wanna hold you Without needing a reason to I just wanna kiss you Like all the other couples do I’ll pray that it’s a cold night So I can wrap around you tight But in my mind I’ll find a million Reasons why we’ll never be alright Another day, another threat 1028 days left Should I spend them all with you ‘Cause I know you’ll be dying too I start what can only ever fall so far apart Why start what can only ever fall so far apart I just wanna hold you Without needing a reason to I just wanna kiss you Like all the other couples do I just wanna hold you Without needing a reason to I just wanna kiss you Like all the other couples do I’ll pray that it’s a cold night So I can wrap around you tight But in my mind I’ll find a million Reasons why we’ll never be alright

morbius 03:47
10.
I need somebody to take me away from here Can’t miss your Vincent jawline It looks just like his, just like his And I need somebody to talk to Or maybe just somebody to speak to me But yours is the only voice worth hearing Give me a reason not to leave Anyone else, maybe all the stars are aligned But you, this happens every time you come to my mind Sing me away from the silence in the floorboards Or look my way, mark life after and before And when I’m gone, you’ll be gone too But your frozen head will still be speaking just for me to hear In space, there are mirrors light-years away, placed perfectly To replay this moment for a billion more years Anyone else, maybe all the stars are aligned Oh, but you, this happens every time you come to my mind Sing me away from the silence in the floorboards Don’t look my way, ‘cause I don’t wanna die, not again Sing me away from the silence in the floorboards And if you look my way, I hope you never look away again Sing me away from the silence in the floorboards And if you look my way, I hope you never look away again Sing me away from the silence in the floorboards And if you look my way, I hope you never look away again Sing me away from the silence in the floorboards And if you look my way, I hope you never look away again

big song 02:06
I know the fire beneath you I know the acid above you I wish I were big enough To take it all out of you You know tomorrow won’t be better You know the irony of wanting One great life but you can’t have One good day If I could take you in my hand And keep you where you’d be fine I would Please don’t go somewhere I can’t reach you

tortoise 03:17
Looking at you reminds me of how it feels To be falling in love again Not to say that I’m in love or anything You’re just my kind of man Place my body in your vicinity Play the game of touching hands Love lighting, I’ll act accordingly Hair tie rubber band I just wanna be your partner I just wanna be your friend What if I Wanna be Your lover I’ll be the Federica to your Jonathan Doze in my breakfast nook I can be your bedtime book Speculation on our sexuality But we don’t have to look Is that a turtle or is it a tortoise shell What really matters is who’s inside And if there’s room for one more give me a call The two of us can hide I just wanna be your partner I just wanna be your friend What if I Wanna be Your lover I’d even try my best to be your boyfriend Been around for one whole eternity And I’ve never seen one quite like you Atomic clocks have run into overtime But I know we’ll find something to do

Rear Window 02:53
I want to be with you tonight Or forever, whichever one you might prefer Sit down in the car, let’s get some shit from Target Get married in the parking garage The windows are all sweating, In the church of our wedding, “Just Married” written in the condensation I’ll be the only one for you Or I’ll be as happy just to Be but some good conversation Harsh light shines down on You make it softer I offer myself only to you And if you’re willing, let someone do the killing And we’ll watch them through the rear view mirror

small song 02:14
I wish that I was really small A little less that one foot tall So I could stay in your shirt pocket You wouldn’t even have to call ‘Cause every second spent with you Is half as long as it should be And wherever you’re going to I’d like you to go there with me And whenever you’re feeling blue I’ll sing another tiny tune Me and my street rat backup singers Are sure to put you in a good mood ‘Cause every second spent with you Is half as long as it should be And wherever you’re going to I’d like you to go there with me And when you have to go to class I’ll hang out with the bugs in the grass I’ll take a ride on the earthworm over To try to climb the sassafras And when you’re done for the night I’ll never let the bedbugs bite I can sleep in your empty matchbox But I can hardly wait for the light ‘Cause every second spent with you Is half as long as it should be And wherever you’re going to I’d like you to go there with me I wish that I was really small A little less that one foot tall So I could stay in your shirt pocket You wouldn’t even have to call
