1.
dissolve 01:30
rise & dissolve in the bottom of a glass but not as fast as you would like then you're there then you're gone then you're on & on & on to the scene where you left me waiting for an open door & a wave inside you were right don't call & cry we live tonight & then we die
2.
i hate the man that i've become more than anything i've ever loved the feelings that i'm frightened of won't leave follow silence like it calls i can make myself hear anything hopeful in my suffering at least but i'm prepared i'm not waiting i'm not scared if you want me then you'll have to hold me back cause i'm not there just a practiced empty stare i put on when you don't care or i don't ask so don't despair if the feeling can't compare i mean we both know i've been wrong in the city's waning light fireworks as cars collide people hurt & then they find a way find a way to keep it in a little room inside your head 'nothing here is leaving yet,' you said
3.
drink 04:26
it's not your favorite it is what you make it it gets the job done but that don't mean nothing fall up the riot stairs back home you could be calling her but don't that's how she wants it she knows that shit makes you honest how could i give up you both now? i could try how could i? i could try if it's to your liking i'll just keep on trying half of me needs to the other half needs you fall up the riot stairs into town when it's all gone they can't keep you down spend all your money cause nothing else better is coming sit in your room not much to do...drink 'til you're blue throw up again hey ain't life grand when nothing gets through? i stopped writing home they'll never know that i lost control i'm making the best of what i suspect is all i have left
4.
nursery 03:42
it sounds so sweet but you know it smells like sin fingers meet & interlock in unison around the plastic cup someone else will fill it up & keep the shades pulled down i found out that you found out baby let's meet underground writing drunken empty stomach messages to you take a guess at how much i've forgot make a mess of all the creatures that you've caught in the act of holding back you'll lose all your friends like that & they're all you talk about nervous when they're coming down i found out that you found out i know we'll never be the family in the nursery but you can count on me to get lost in the fantasy i'll come home if you'll play house i found out that you know how
5.
lost parades 03:48
stoned to death lying in her bed drawn & bled nothing's wasted then it could shine it could turn & bite evidence in the way she spins but you won't find me cause i'm shuffling down streets i named in dreams i had when i was sick making way for lost parades that never seem to end but they did shook the heat so you could follow me we can talk i can hear it all i hope it hurt & that i never learn in my skin i feel you passing through again but you won't find me walking down the halls i painted white so i could lose you in making way for picture frames with people i invent now you're in now you're in it
6.
lilt & sway 03:24
lilt & sway in confidence i can bend away the sun will rise in self-defense & then again we'll say: 'we're broken people, stolen, needful, always in command' don't take your eyes off it for a moment it could be gone call to the keeper cause nobody's reached her limit yet it's not that they find you it's just they remind you in such a strange way it's not that they take you it's just that they make you think you don't want to stay lilt & sway stand alone in disrepair i can wear this face molded by a matching pair of muddled eyes that say: 'we're honest people grown deceitful cause that's the only way'
7.
moving parts 01:41
in her basement there's a chest she opened it & it got out & then got in through her mouth then it climbed up her spine like a ladder to her mind this one's mine but don't say that you'll never walk away cause you don't know don't feel like it's over cause it was never real it's inside you but it's never going to find you feeling weak because your soul is just your heart without the moving parts
8.
i hate getting close everything's almost i guess i could stay quiet some other way don't stay up i wouldn't have to if you were enough don't stay home if there was some other way then i would've known live with the days that you escape it could be worse you could falling all that way i thought it could work i've always been cursed with seeing the light i thought you were wrong & i was right it's been so nice to say goodbye for one last time when i recede why do you let me? i guess i could stay quiet some other way but don't get in if you were closer then maybe i'd listen you don't know the difference in living & keeping your soul alive with the days that you erase & hit where it hurts you could be falling all that way i thought it could work i've always been cursed with seeing the light i thought you were wrong & i was right it's been so nice to say goodbye for one last time
9.
better off staying put i'll make it my own way you always said i could i'm sleeping now for days at a time but the dreams i have they ain't mine so fill me up with something strange i don't care if it's my heart or it's my brain so fill me up with something strange you're not someone you're just something with a name i'd do anything to stay the same & keep you too i love you but i hate this room nothing's there no one's scared it's all right just thinking: what you said & what i heard they can't be the same thing bullet holes up my arm i'm the strongest man who can't command what goes wrong so long
10.
bout time that you showed up everything is closing & it's dark your favorite part of the endless days worked through the hardest part i guess it wasn't obvious to me that i could leave anytime i wanted a good luck kiss more or less before or since i can't say if i was honest then but it's your destiny: the rest will be a funny kind of pain so don't test me i've been wrestling with this since i could sing escape's a game i play to fill in the bad dream in between when we meet in a calm embrace bout time i've had enough but this one could be different, don't you see? it's not for me it's for who i think i'm becoming
11.
I live in genesis ecstasy in kind revelations raised in anger mentioned in behind the finest blinds that money still can't buy you waited all this time don't you know this is nothing what it looks like? they broke my spirits in & raised us far apart a marriage made in a nest of ravens bleeding from the holes besides their hearts that never should have been they gave them to their children don't you know this is not how I envisioned it? in holy paper roses razor-folded night undiscovered: hold and hover just above her empty-throated eyes paralyzed & prim waking for the sun again don't you know this is nothing what it looks like?
