Better at Kissing
03:27
|
|||
Do you ever fall asleep
And wake up in a graveyard
You're dying to get back home
When I woke up, I was better
At kissing you
When I woke up, I was better
At missing you
Do you ever hold your breath
And still hear someone breathing
You know that you're never alone
Did you fall overboard
And swim back to the shoreline
You're trying to get back home
When I woke up, I could see it
The other side
When I woke up, I could feel my
Thoughts slide away
Away
Do you ever drink too much
And wind up on a dance floor
It's better than drinking alone
Oh
Oh

Uh, lonely highway, only do it my way
Bout time I put some product on these flyaways
It's like the last time, let me hear the bass line bass line bass line bass line uh
How many times have you wondered whenever you woke up in a past life
Past life, reference, uh
I can't do a thing with it
I can't do a thing with it

Menace
Don't tell me what I know
Don't tell me what to do, where to be, where to go
I just wanna see that snow, river stop that flow
I don't stop that though, I ain't gonna plant a seed
And now I gotta let that grow
But I don't wanna have to talk on the wrong side
I don't wanna have to work on a rough night
I don't wanna make do to make it right
All I want is you, tonight
I just wanna learn to speak your language
I don't wanna have to do an intervention
Make your bed, take a shower, put your socks on
I just wanna find a place we can run to
Chiaroscuro
I just wanna learn to speak your language
Looking for a new moon
We're not afraid to show affection
It's just normal, not a weakness
Every week I got to do an injection
Just to be here, just to be real
You can sleep, you're under my protection
I stay awake for the both of us
I just wanna find a place we can run to
Menace, yikes
I just wanna find a place, maybe in the mountains, maybe not
Confidants with coffee pots, she can take a lot
But I won't stop her, she just walks a walk
My heart was closed without the keys
She got the lock and brought the shack, I gotta stop
But I don't wanna have to talk on the wrong side
I don't wanna have to work on a rough night
I don't wanna make do to make it right
All I want is you, tonight
Looking for a new moon
A sky, the diamond blue
Looking for a new moon
Chiaroscuro
Looking for a new moon
A sky, the diamond blue
Looking for a new moon
Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro
Looking for a new moon

End of the Line
03:37
|
|||
I can't get high no more
I can't be sure what it's formulated for
Lines like a falling star
What in the world are we coming to
Lines to the horizon
What in the world are we coming to
Lining outside, lines in the sky
Time's in Euclidean planes in the sky
Pining for time to the end of the line
I can't get by no more
I can't be sure what we're in for
I can't get through to you
Not gonna lie, I can't be straight with you
Lining outside, lines in the sky
Time's in Euclidean planes in the sky
Pining for time to the end of the line
Pining for time
Till the end of the line
Till the end of the line
Till the end of the line

Engineer
03:39
|
|||
Hey little buddy, it has to pick up
Got a full cup but I'm so thirsty
What you looking for, walking room to room
Thinking about what to consume
Hey little fella, don't have to say no
Give it away to the ocean below now
Pull it back up from the ocean floor
Stick it all in a catapult
Engineer
When engineer gets here
Replace my faith
When engineer comes here
Replace my fear
Sucking all the smoke out of the sky
Leeching all the goo from the ground
All the good dogs will get a new toy
The bad ones go to the pound
Tie it all up with a bright shiny bow
Stick it all in a box
Load it all up in a trebuchet
Spit in God's face with the force of your shot
I created zombies, destroy the human race, I know what zombies don't know
They don't fight wars, they're always hungry, they don't drive cars and they don't pollute
They don't need electricity and when they run out of fuel, they just sit there
Not respirating, staring and stony returning to the earth
Engineer
When engineer gets here
Replace my faith
When engineer comes here
Replace my fear
When engineer arrives
It's gonna be live
When engineer speaks to me
It's gonna be too late

I'm So Happy
03:20
|
|||
I'm so happy when I think about you
When I'm feeling blue
I'm so happy when I think about you
And all of the things that you do
We were knee deep in the snow, you held on to my arm
We were making a video for a show we were gonna perform
We were both awake one night and it was all on me
You let it go even though we know it was so plain to see
I'm so happy when I think about you
When I'm feeling blue
I'm so happy when I think about you
And all of the things that you do
And you can never let your hair grow long, you always cut it off
And you wrote my favorite song, I can never play it enough
And when I told you what's inside, you took it all in stride
You saw me changing, it couldn't be denied, now I don't have to hide
When I die, not a second went by, I didn't want to spend
With you my one, you're my moon and sun, even that won't be the end
Happy when I think about you
When I'm feeling blue
I'm so happy when I think about you
And all of the things that you do
I love you

Lost in the Weekend
02:37
|
|||
Never saw your face, but I recognize you
Never heard your voice, but I know your song
Never knew my place, but I belong
Never made a mistake, boy was I wrong
I was wrong
Never touched your skin, but I feel you there
Never knew your eyes or lips, or the color of your hair
Never met your family, but I know your name
Never lit a match for you, but I'm burning in your flame
Burning in your flame
Got home before the storm, but I'm all wet
I'm dead before you're born, it's like we never met
I'm back home from the store with my cigarettes
And I'm barely out the door with my regrets
My regrets
Lost in the weekend, gotta get home tonight
Lost in the crowd, missed the last flight
Lost on vacation, I see your face
Got a feeling we might get to know this place
We're gonna get to know this place
We're gonna get to know this place

I'm out on the low tide
And you, you don't have a thing inside
I'm out on the low tide
And you, you don't have a thing to hide
Nothing to hide this time
Nothing to hide this time
Nothing to hide this time
Nothing to hide this time
Nothing to hide this time
(Menace)
The beach and the sand on my feet is so open
There's nothing to hide when the nature's controlling
My feet sinking into the sand in the ocean
The ducks are all still but their minds are in motion
Chill by the low tide when I roll through
I'm a ghost, I wanna know, time and again
Where does it go, go to exist, lost in abyss
Hop in the whip, stop for a pic, talk in a bit
Walk with a limp, scar on his wrist
Stars make a wish, wish for the best, best you can get
I'm counting on you this time
And you, you won't even talk to me
I'm willing to compromise
But there's nothing behind those eyes
Nothing to hide this time
Nothing to hide this time
Nothing to hide this time

Secret Society

|

Come with me all of you, there's a groove going, there's a groove going
Come with me all of you, there's a groove going
Come with me all of you, let the group go in, let the group go in
Come with me all of you, let the group go in
Don't take my temperature
Something's going round
Don't take my temperature
Put me in the ground
Can't take it out of me, I'm immune to it, I'm immune to it,
Can't take it out of me, I'm immune to it
Shrouded in secrecy, it used to be, refused to believe
Shrouded in secrecy, who let the cat out of the bag
32nd notes, McFlurry Brigade, ocean under the mountain, come on you irons, jumping out the window, mercury magnets, 80s television, 13 14ths, moon leopards, sea creatures, karate kids, tree skinners, sword swallowers, blind banshees, feral hamsters, kind hearted bruisers
Secret society, the moon leopards, the sea creatures
Secret society, the karate kids
Secret society, the tree skinners, the sword swallowers
Secret society, the blind banshees
Don't take my word for it
Something's going down
Don't take my word for it
Put me in the ground

Sell Yourself
03:29
|
|||
If you wanna live forever
Tell yourself something's gotta make it better
If you wanna live forever
Sell yourself something's gotta make it better
I've been dancing with a demon, yeah
Every night, everywhere
She come take me b-b-by the hand
Pulling me, spinning me
Ain't no other place I'd rather be
Whenever she gets a hold of me
Ain't no other place I'd rather be
Whenever she takes control of me
She takes control of me
She takes control of me
She takes control of me
If you wanna live forever
Tell yourself something's gotta make it better
If you wanna live forever
Sell yourself something's gotta make it better
In the morning I hear beep, beep, beep
I just go back to sleep
Hear an orchestra in my head
Boom, boom, boom goes the timpani
In the evening when she's calling me
Boom, boom, boom, beep, beep, beep
I just keep pretending to sleep
Wondering who's controlling me
Controlling me
Controlling me
Controlling me
If you wanna live forever
Tell yourself something's gotta make it better
If you wanna live forever
Sell yourself something's gotta make it better

I won't let you win this time
I will get you, make you mine
Tell me why you blew my fantasy
I won't let you back so soon
Shut down, turn around, leave it alone
Tell me why you wiped on story mode
Tell me why you wiped on story mode
Tell me why you wiped on story mode
Take me down, I don't wanna go back
Story mode
To story mode
Take me down, I don't wanna go back
Story mode
To story mode
Story mode
To story mode
I won't do what you want me to do
I'm not ready, I'm not cool
Tell me why you take me down with you
I'm not sure what you want me to do
I can't get it straight with you
Tell me where you take me down to
Menace, Menace, yeah
Story mode for little lessons
So blessin' up's the subtle step
Steppin' up my game, my name's been changed
Now reigns JP forever
Easy weather, sunny days, breezy shelter
Creepy cabins, laughin' freely
Half as easy, mad at TV screens
Because the news ain't about me
And I could stop abruptly, man this is fast
And the cheetahs and lions and tigers, I'm dyin
I'm flyin' to Zion, and maybe you're higher than
Neon and nylon, I'm tryin' to get to the high road
I wanna stand out while they lie low
I wanna get out of the story mode
Take me down, I don't wanna go back
Story mode
To story mode
Take me down, I don't wanna go back
Story mode
To story mode
Story mode
To story mode

Thunder Kitten
03:31
|

We used to believe
That song was the end
That sound meant the end
Let down in the end
But now we can see
What was hidden before
The thunder came crashing
And broke down the door
Losing your mind
In front of my eyes
Whenever you try to
Sing along, sing along
Thunder Kitten
You don't have to sing alone
It's only a trip
A way to get somewhere
A crystallization
Of a moment in time
A canvas stretched (it's only a trip)
Into another dimension (a vacation in vinyl)
A painting in minutes (a moment in time)
And seconds and lines
Losing your mind
In front of my eyes
Whenever you try to
Sing along, sing along
Thunder Kitten
You don't have to sing alone
Sing along
Thunder Kitten
Stereo optical
Processing pen
Creates and erases
Goes up and goes down
Make me believe
That I'm here for a reason
Stuck up in this fucked up
Beautiful town

Wishing It All Away
03:40
|
|||
Wake up, your mother is calling
Wake up, your record is broken
Wake up, your band is rehearsing
Wake up, your name is unspoken
I'm like a monster, I'm all up in the cut
I spit diamonds, y'all rough, surf's up
I hang ten when I go back to the future and I start again
Y'all sheepish, I be the shepherd I'm gonna take you to the spot, leopard
Why can't it be easy to assuage you? I'm 1997 in this bitch gonna page you
I'm trying to wake up, I can't breathe
Something pressing down on my chest when I'm trying to rest
It's either or, one, two, three, four
You hear a knock coming from the basement door
When you're on the fourth floor and it shouldn't be there, should it
Nah
Oh, I don't mind it
Wishing it all away
Oh, I don't mind it
Wishing it all away
Wake up, your baby is crying
Wake up, your monster is near
Wake up, your cup's overflowing
Wake up, the future is here
Your mind is revolting, your body is tingling
Your chickens are molting, your house guests are mingling
The army is calling, the police are here
The field man is stirring, the neighbors are fleeing
The monster can smell you, the wolf's in your bed
It's all in your head
Oh, I don't mind it
Wishing it all away
I'm in the cut like origami when you call me mommy
Y'all be salty, salami
I'm overextended, going round the bend
When my future self comes back and she tells me how it ends, uh
I'm on FaceTime, double chin I go through space-time and try again, uh
There's no angle, I'm trying to explain the pain
So take my body, take my heart, throw my brain away
It's soft tissue, I feel your heartbeat
I'm gonna miss you, sitting in your car seat
Stupid flow, I gotta go I'm gonna make a sandwich, see you at home
Caesar salad, no croutons, I go to work with my steel toe boots on
Parmesan, creamy dressing
Camfam, seven-pound blessing

You Are Safe With Me
04:10
|
|||
Dancing lessons in the deep, never going back to sleep
Pandemonium goddamn dream, why would anyone act so mean
You are safe with me
Trying to make the day go away, comes back stronger the next day
Trying to make the day go away, waiting for the glow to fade
Trying to make the day go away, comes back stronger the next day
Trying to make the pain go away, waiting for the glow to fade
Past the moon, past the sun, past appealing to everyone
Blow me up, break me down, wake me up in another part of town
Pharmaceutical fantasy, lift me up for the world to see
Just this once, pretty please, could you give me this one for free
You are safe with me
You are safe with me
Trying to make the day go away, comes back stronger the next day
Trying to make the day go away, waiting for the glow to fade
Trying to make the day go away, comes back stronger the next day
Trying to make the pain go away, waiting for the glow to fade
Trying to make the day go away, comes back stronger the next day
Trying to make the pain go away, waiting for the glow to fade
