Completely Clean

You're bleeding someone every night just
trying to get full
no matter how much wine you drink those
hands will still feel cold
And how exciting, someone new to
make completely clean
you sucked him in with compliments but
how long till you're mean
Well I never killed a tiny child to
prove how much I care
or said 'it's OK, kill yourself, just
don't chop off your hair'
but if I had would your voice still be
walking on my phone
or would I still be lying in this
wooden box on loan?
Well you're bleeding someone
every night just
trying to get full.

Joke

Why are you surprised that he died
I'm amazed that you're still alive
you can see and talk and you can write
but you can't change a thing besides
your life
When it's such a joke
how much you want to know so
just stay clean
don't be mean
Doctors are gods and dad knows best
I like smoking endless cigarettes
perfect problem just as soon as you arrive
never morning, it's forever night
When it's such a joke
baby just stay clean.

Did you amount to something profound
will you fill in the blanks
I disagree - leniency is better than grace
childhood is gone, will you
quit hanging on to your
childish ways
'cause days of your past - still
serving you best, baby
who can complain
Another summer gone
it's cooler in the night
did you make a friend
at school today
When I was a kid, you know what I did, man
I climbed up my crib
I don't recall the takeoff at all
the boy broke his arm
child a year old, where do you s'pose that
he wanted to go
nobody knows, 'cause he'd never
tried to fly before
You know I never heard
nothing in return
so don't find me no more
you're not my concern.

Attraction
04:18

You told me you were gonna hurt me
now you're asking 'why you so surprised?'
I've been calling names for twenty years
wasting this song on covered ears
and she said
You shoulda listened when
I made my own decision
don't look so blind
it doesn't matter that
your self-esteem was shattered
I still got mine
I don't miss who you really are
but I still love
who you'll never be
you weren't scared
you just didn't care
I guess attraction's
all that ever really mattered
to me
and she said
I'm frozen, snowed in on a hill
I'll stay here even when this melts
my memory still knows more
than the truth
attraction doesn't die
it kills
and she said

The Big Machine
02:48

I like someone I don't know. That's how it's supposed to go. Soon as I get used to you - quit the shit I used to do.
No soul. No one.
Chemicals up in the brain - we call love and lust and pain. Death will end the Big Machine. No more personality.
It's fine. I'm free.
I like someone that I don't know. That's the way the whole thing's supposed to go. Soon as I'm getting used to you - quit all the cool shit I used to do.

Save You
02:43
|
|||
|
You might be wrong, might not be long
before it's time to sing the song
inside your heart, don't fall apart
it's not the end, just
please hang on
you can't remember being born
and you will swear your love was torn
away from you, what can you do
but die some more
And I just sit here and
watch your life collapse
I'd like to save you but
I'll never know how
and all you do is trade
the present for the past
ain't gonna save you
now
I know
one day your pain will fade
much like those
memories replayed
inside your mind, I swear we'll find
a way to leave the past behind
you can't remember when you felt
that you lived anywhere
but hell
and now you're telling me
you no more have a
soul to sell.

Well I don't, I don't know
but I let, let you go
and you don't, so I'm told
need me anymore
But it's quite alright, I've
been alone before
and I never cried, what
do you think that means
It was just a summer fling
You didn't mean a thing
How I wish that were true
But it was for you
And I know this love was
prob'ly never real
but you finally got your song
so baby, we both won
I'm not different anyway
you know I'm just the same
as anyone you date, a warm body
you never knew my mind
or cared to look inside
as long as you were right
you liked me
the mirror in your room
never tells the truth
but other people do,
trust no one
begin to disappear
Well I walk
I'm walking back
to the early man
who had made his own path
through the foreign land
and he wasn't scared of
anything at all.

We got married
the month you were born
when your brother was four
ever rise does the son
the tide of our divorce
we got lost and didn't talk
except through you
tell your mom this isn't right
the whole thing fell through
I don't know why
Orion is Pi
just want to keep
a piece of your sky
I love your colors
more than numbers
can define
I like your silence
more than mine
all the time
We got graves
that said our names
all we ever wanted was
both you boys in college
I did not plan to move so far
and I'm so sorry
son, I'm still your father
We got lost and
didn't talk
except through you
tell your mom
this is not right
the whole thing
fell through.

Note
04:30
|
|||
|
Play me something
before I go
make it something
that I know
sing it soft and sweet
and leave a loving
note for me
I won't fall by
we wrote the final moment
twice
but still sometimes
I think about
the possibility
and the way you knew
to love
and no one's made me come
home again
Lay with me until
I sleep
tuck me in and
close the door
leave me be
forever more
but send a
note to me
I wanted gone
but still I can't
forget your song
it's oceanwide
this fear I have of
losing all my mind
and of
never being love
I swear I
made you up
once again
If you need a reason
to be right
I'm sure you can
find one
every night
If you really need me
to be wrong
that's fine
so long.

Pay Me Back
04:10
|
|||
|
Scratch me off
your list
you owe me money
I owe you something
driving out of town
wish you'd call but
I don't wanna talk
I hope you don't forget
when this was good
and I promise that
I wanted us to last
Saw you out with him
I'd ask you how you been
I'm enjoying
this coincidence
must be nice to
close your eyes and
really fall asleep so
fuckin easily
I hope you don't forget
when this was good
and I promise that
I wanted us to last
and I'm grateful for
the time when you were
kinda mine
just pay me back
that's all I ask
Till I see my money then
we can't be friends
good luck with your
little honey
I'll never
see you again.

Awake
04:01
|
|||
|
Sleep is coming home
I swear you must have stole
the only part of me
you didn't need
on your way out the door
I couldn't recognize
my godforsaken eyes
hard and dark
like a weary heart
won't be broken
anymore
I don't wanna say
one more word today
I never been your man
but I always knew that
this would have to end
I hope you settled in
still remembering
crossing several states
in as many days
you could barely stay
awake
I've run out of dreams
and false apologies
you renewed my vow
and we both played
perfect versions of
ourselves
And I tried to change
all and everything
about the kid with whom
you lived
and I tell myself
I had to go through hell
to understand it well
Sleep is coming home
sleep is finally home.

Faith
04:26
|

|
He laughs at your plans
did she make it home safe
the mark of a man
irrational faith
Forget me first
I've never seen worse
I seem to recall
nothing at all
your face in a frame
the usual name
where's your faith
Distraction will last
oh, a month and a half
remember next year
predicting the past
Forget me first
I've never seen worse
I seem to recall
nothing at all
too stupid to wake
too fragile to break
where's your faith
How many evenings
will you pray
how many mornings
stay the same
how many evenings
will you pray
how many mornings
never ever
change?
Where's your faith?

Mistrial
05:25

Dreaming of sleep
unknow me
easy to die
we'll survive
I wouldn't do this
over again
two people meet
and never speak
I bought a book and
I can't put it down
don't wanna get used to you
hanging around
I worry the thing into
happening
and always pretend to be
innocent
(You play the strings)
Baby I'll hit the skins
the hardest part
is beginning
I'll tell you
off the record
this song won't
make it on
mutual
entrapment
I got a job
isn't somebody proud
I don't hate you, least
not out loud
it's taken ten years just to
crawl a mile
I'm guilty, just don't let this
go to trial
I'm guilty, just don't let this
go to trial
I'm guilty, just don't let this
go to trial.
