I can see my blue boy biting my silhouette me
I can feel my brittle bones breaking between your little shark teeth
You are not my sea anenome, you are my friend
Youâve been swimming for a time in a straight line and youâre doing just fine
Whisper words, pointing fingers while you pass by, like youâve committed a crime
You are not my sea enemy, you are my friend
You are my friend

Cardamom Killer

You took good pictures of me, now theyâre blue sun bleached nearly faded clean
I wondered where that camera went shivering inside a soggy tent
Black hole grows up on a beach when we tried to speak it was muttering
Instead of what we said colliding in the present tense
Have you heard of the Cardamom Killer
Pocket full of pods surround his heart
Which he buried six feet under looking into a mirror
I will be a stranger to you
From a castle that I fled to a forest, it was red
Youâre in Washington D.C and I finally learned to speak
Now youâre bursting as a sound and weâre mutually proud
Was this supposed to happen
Like some sort of crystal action
Have you heard of the Cardamom Killer
Corkboard full of strings he cut himself
Now theyâre dangling on his wall like the lights in a guildhall
I will be a stranger to you
We were singing on the porch outside, it was the last time it would happen
It was blue, was that you
Do you remember you remember it too
Next time itâd be tuesday night, you just slipped inside my room to cry
And you asked, though itâs past, do you think what we had would ever last
Have you heard of the Cardamom Killer
Shotgun full of slug aimed at your thoughts
Which will leave a hole much deeper like an emotional reaper
I will be a stranger to you

Weâre almost to the end, we should turn back soon
You should really get out more often
This is almost too much for you, the road is cold on my feet
Come on, pick up the pace
Thatâs all right I know youâre trying
How you are, itâs all you can really do
Your complaints arenât helping
This was your idea, too
Youâve had a lot of time, a lot of moments spent
Watching our lives go by
People grow up, too impatient to wait
Whyâs it all gone so fast
Letâs go outside, you know you want to
There you are, just lying around, and
If you give up, you wonât get to
Feel the dirt beneath you again

Cinnamon Bun

Brushing your cinnamon cheeks
Taste of your cinnamon sweets
Looks that it maybe will rain
Shimmering clouds in the sun
Melt yourself all over me
My lips aquiver, so soft forever
Wash me over, shining storm
I wanna hold you, cinnamon bun
Hey there, cinnamon bun
Tough to the world & soft just for me
Others havenât seen what I can perceive
It's growing inside me and I canât believe
Your bread so warm, perfect for lovinâ
All the better covered in icing
I know youâre good all hot from the oven
From the oven
Calm & fierce as we come colliding
I wanna hold you
I gotta taste you, cinnamon bun

Pink flower pedals, I am the breath thief
The shallow beneath me like wings on a tree
I can't believe that to me itâs so easy
I sit and talk and I laugh
Pink flower pedals, I am the heart thief
The shallow above me like wings on the sea
I can't believe that itâs so easy
I sit and talk and I laugh
Where is it headed?
My head isn't ready
I'm covered in jelly
My lips look like basketty
Touch my arm, say Iâm healthy

You told me
I'll really miss you if you leave
You're the only one here who listens to what I say
I told you
I'm sorry, I can't stay here
You're such a great girl and I will remember you
Stop looking so sweet and naive with
your oval-frame glasses and permanent smile
You just sit there, so quiet and lonely, and I
think I should be right there with you
Stop acting so god damn great, when
you're already getting the things you deserve
He seems really nice and good to you
Probably better than I could ever be
I can't compete with that
Don't make me compete with that

Dragon Head

Constellations far off heavenly space makes dust escape away
Demonstration of inertia, celestial threnodies
I canât see the sun, I have awaken too late itâs gone
I donât want to find all of my actions to be unjustified
Blinking point past the void
Donât let me avoid it anymore
Infrared dragon head
Roaring shape takes my face
Parallaxing canvas, your light bends towards me
Ambivalent polar crescent, star crossed divorcee
I donât have a sky, Iâll live in this intermission until I find my collision
I wonât take your test on whether or not we orbit
Youâre cratered and tough, powerful stuff
Pulling us up, cutting the crusted rock
With the surf you tug
Blinking point past the void
Donât let me avoid it anymore
Infrared dragon head
Roaring shape takes my face

Ghosts (Dirty Vegas)

All I ever wanted was to feel the way you'd feel
All I ever wanted was a chance to make it real
I'm in love with you and I can pull it through
All I ever wanted is a place out by the sun
To watch the world go by and take each day as it comes
All I ever wanted was a chance to catch my breath
To see the world go by and lay my ghosts to rest
Give me a chance to catch my breath
So I can lay my ghosts to rest
So ask me tomorrow what I thought of yesterday
There's so many things that I could not explain
I'm in love with you and I can pull it through
All I ever wanted is a place out by the sun
To watch the world go by and take each day as it comes
All I ever wanted was a chance to catch my breath
To see the world go by and lay my ghosts to rest
Give me a chance to catch my breath
So I can lay my ghosts to rest
All that I ever wanted was a chance to catch my breath
All that I ever wanted was to lay my ghosts to rest
All that I ever wanted was a chance to catch my breath
All that I ever wanted was to lay my ghosts to rest

The smell of lavender and fur
Fills my lungs and warms me up
Is this sweater weather? Itâs cold
Tell me itâs whatever
When you speak to me up close
Your breath melts the ice in my nose
I wonât play nice when I donât choose
I guess thatâs why I lose
I rode my chair today
Upon my star Iâll stay
I found myself today much faster than your cigarette

Rocketships & text messages
Mountain metaphors and silent possessiveness
Packed supplies and one thousand matches
I wonder what weâll be burning
I saw a bear last night
He snuck inside to our surprise and he wept in our tent
In our tent, in our tent, in our tent
I saw a bear last night
He snuck inside to our surprise and he wept in our tent

Wait Outside
03:02
|

I moved in close and he backed away from me
He placed his hand on my chest and he laughed and held me up
She was looking at the ground, the sidewalk crumble
Like a theater audience at a Michael Cera movie
Gave me his coat and looked around, then back at me
Yeah, sure, I can chill here - itâs really not that cold.
Go for it, I like the me-time
A pat on the back, he grabs her hand and they walk in
He told me to wait outside
Hear a lock on the door
Was he expecting me to go in
What do I do if something moves

I Snooze, You Lose

I snooze, you lose this time
I kick back in the back of my mind
Broken promises you'll never find
I kick back while you waste your time
I snooze, is it such a crime
To break a promise in the back of your mind
I take dumb words and I make them rhyme
So kick back baby and weâll do it in time
This is a promise that is never fed
You wake up while I hit snooze instead - Go
This is a promise that is never fed
You wake up while I hit snooze instead
You might live but iâll never die
I hit snooze in the back of my mind
You get going while I hit snooze in time
I think about it and then I resign
I got your letter but I never read
You try to wake me but I hit snooze instead
This is a promise that is never fed
You get going while I hit snooze instead
Couldnât resist this time
Like a bad idea jumpinâ out of my mind
I get off before the end of the ride
Look out babe, Iâm going back inside
I got your letter but I never read
You try to wake me I say fuck off instead - Go
This is a promise that is never fed
You wake up while I hit snooze instead
And itâs never fed
You wake up while I hit snooze instead
And itâs never fed
You wake me up while I hit snooze instead
La la la
Hit snooze, go back to bed

Everything That I Missed
05:07
|

|
You let out speak a whisper, it speaks my common sense
Revolving running river, deep tissue monogram
Warm confiding signals of the abstract
Itâs all of your rituals that makes me make sense
The reason why youâve got my back
Canât have you making a face like that
I think I found you another gift to get
Trace of my path that the residents will soon forget
All your soft speak makes me think
Ooh, I want to be with you
You got me feeling like a space cadet
Praise of my face abundance of epithets
Heavenly hymns woke me up to sense
Out at a festival of punk music
Just in time Iâll try and make nice
I just keep having you on my mind
Your tangled thoughts are gonna get me lost
Ooh, I want to be with you
I canât contend with my lonesome heart
Painting my blame in the stars above
Tracing my name in the constellations
Grace of today in thought of yours
Based on ordains I placed to reassure
I find it hard to be faced like this
I want to catch up on everything that I missed
Ooh, I want to be with you

My Friend

I miss my friend
I never seem to notice him
Where did he go
He told me he was going to the bathroom
In spite of this song
I donât really like the direction itâs going
If youâd like to help me sing this tune
Iâd think it was you who sired, oh, the moon
Smoking cigarettes that I donât need
Trying to buy a body
And itâs pasta sauce you need
If you want to make a dinner for two

Weâre almost to the end, we should turn back soon
You should really get out more often
This is almost too much for you
The road is cold on my feet
Come on, pick up the pace
Thatâs all right, I know youâre trying
How you are, itâs all you can really do
Your complaints arenât helping
This was your idea, too
Youâve had a lot of time
A lot of moments spent watching our lives go by
People grow up, too impatient to wait
Whyâs it all gone so fast
Letâs go outside, you know you want to
There you are, just lying around and
If you give up, you wonât get to
Feel the dirt beneath you again
Remember when you were strong, able to lift yourself and go
You have to keep that going, these feelings canât end
Everythingâs okay, itâs just a bump in the road
Letâs go outside, you know you want to
There you are, fading away and
If you give up now I wonât get to
Feel you beside me again
I remember when you were strong, able to lift yourself and go
You tried to keep that going but feelings make their ends
Everythingâs okay, itâs just a bump in the road
You always did things your way
