Bloodbath
05:13

Soak your limbs in the bloodbath
The temperature is just right
Seek your shelter in abandoned things
And when they fall upon ya
At least it was a beautiful night
Please let's vandalize something soon
I'm getting all my ducks in a row
They are set, they are set for slaughter
And when they go
At least it was a beautiful show
I know better, I know better
Rewrite my night, I'll do better
Please say goodbye to the blackbox theatre
I'm havin nightmares about my teeth
I was a nurse, I was a waiter
But I was not happy in the least
I know better, I know better
Rewrite my night, I'll do better
Darlin breathe in the crowded city
The quality is just fine
I used to think your eyes were pretty
But now I see they're on lock and key
For nickels and dimes
I know better, I know better
Rewrite my night, I'll do better

You Didn't Live
02:44

It was the summer that I hardly stepped outside
I'm tied to the fence love, my bonnie I'm tied
It was the summer that I barely slept alone
I'm tied to the bed post, my bonnie I'm cold
It was the summer that you took me for a ride
I'm tied to my ego
I'm tied to my pride
it was the summer that she lost her way to thought
I'm tied to my past- forgave or forgot
You didn't live,
You were never born,
You didn't live before you put your fingers on
You didn't live,
You were never born,
You didn't live before you strummed your very first song
It was the summer that I read the New York Times
And with the trains love, went half my life
It was the summer that I left my heart behind
I left it in the hills, I plunged it in the brine
And when my lovers meet me in their chorus line,
I'm going down to hell
I'm going down to mine
You didn't live,
You were never born,
You didn't live before you put your fingers on
You didn't live,
You were never born,
You didn't live before you strummed your very first song

Terrible Two
04:26

Drink your weight in water and
You will die unafraid
I've been down the chute and I stayed
Build your treetop lullaby and
You will die unafraid
I climbed up the rope and I stayed
I've got
I've got cement
I'm certain that I've got cement
For bones
Bring me- childish and terrified-
Into your splendid scene
I can't stomach the world as it seems
Truth be, truth be told
Truth be felt
I could paint the ground where you knelt
I've got
I've got cement
I'm certain that I've got cement
For bones
I am a terrible two

Wild Side
02:53
|

You kissed my side from knee to rib
I'm crumbled in my crippled crib
I'm crumbled
And whilst I cried you told me true
We're lovers with no love to lose
We're lovers
What's my wild side?
I've got nothing that you can't have
You wiped my mind from cheek to cheek
I'm reeling in my silent speech
I'm reeling
You think I'm blind, that you're the sun
You think that you're the only one
You're thinking
What's my wild side?
I've got nothing that you can't have
I've got an ego on you but you treat me bad
'Cause while you're the only one I need
I'm the only one you have
What's my wild side?
I've got nothing that you can't have

The Border
03:18
|

Equal footing in the quicksand
What's the time it takes to die?
I put the rope just out of arm's reach
I told the necessary lie
I put my family tree in order
Removed the names I did not like
I'm well aware that there's a border
Brick and mortar
Takes a hike
To believe the hype
I wish you read just like a novel
But you're a textbook case
I've got a temperamental wish list
And you walk a sentimental pace
And sleep is our only refuge
Now that the days are dreams
I'm glad I saw you at the border
In the water
Takes a swim
I believe you're in
My waves have worn away so many rocks

Patience

In this winter rabble
Scarf tied, tongue tied
Did you forget your name in the cold cold?
Park bench warmed by sleepers
Idle, idle, idle dreamer
Did you forget your name in the cold cold?
How long have you lived in New York?
I swear you knew before
I missed every train
Every fear was feigned
Nights parade
like sweet shadows in line for my grave
and I'm not much different in the day
Headphones wring my mind
Shaking, shaking, shaking neighbor
They fit so fine,
You wouldn't know it but the blood they have combines-
They fight how someone who's been torn in two might fight
In this winter rabble
Scarf tied, tongue
Did you forget your name in the cold cold?
