it's gonna come out somehow
everything you keep inside
it's gonna come out some way
there's really nowhere to hide
everything forever
every little part of you
the longer you keep moving
the more is gonna shake through
unless you stay put
but i think i'll be moving now
you keep that door shut
i'll be keeping my ear to the ground
for somebody hollow
i could follow
i guess they let it all out
and i know that they can fly
ask yourself
what am i trying to hide

abandoned
04:15

i steer clear of you
like the river do
i know i built my house on sand
soil right down by the bank
i'm not trying to be abandoned
stay with me while we both sink
if you go with me
like persephone
i know i said that you'd be mine
but how far is on down the line
tied to things that we knew weren't
what we'd lose against the current
i was going to
let go of you
and ride that water to the lowest
point that i could probably find
sink down in to something porous
and be alone there
i tried it once and it was okay
so what we all just evaporate
clench our teeth and fists til the end
i don't ever want to feel that way again
don't build a river around me
baby please don't build a river around me
the water that i wash my hands with
is the water that got drank by kings
the water with which i wash my hands
is the water that's in everything
don't build a river around me
baby baby please don't build a river around me

did you learn to say my name
listening to my mother
singing from the bottom of the stairs
did you want to speak to me
the only thing you knew was family
your throat, you know, just never got you there
now you're sleeping on the rug
'cause you can't get enough
dreaming into your tiny body
i leave you only love
tell me when its all too much
i'll take you to the water to be free
did you expect it all to change
soon as you crossed over
and found nobody waiting there for you
standing in your way
or waving from the doorframe
just a bent up cigarette
balanced on your shoe
no paintings on the walls
just smoke filling up the room

good time
02:39
|
|||
|
turn to your side
and show me your injury
i'll show you my good time
it also left its mark on me
death was written on my left arm
and i can't remember
what was on my right
i know it wasn't life
i'll show you my good time
i'll show you my good time

happy gilmore
04:30

make way for the pro golf circuits worst nightmare
a hilarious comedy that scores a hole in one
one kid falls
the other lands
then we're all
dressed like men
stop and think back to right when you stopped falling
do you remember falling in love with your friends
did you pull back and tuck your legs and arms in
or did you fall with outstretched hands

come with me
to the place my backyard used to be
leave that cross
and tomorrow we'll return the dogs
remember to breath and blink
and the light through the window
orange pink
foam in your shaking veins
home is a bloody place
come with me
to the place your backyard used to be
hold my hand
through the crowd as we find a place to stand
and watch the man up there
with his shiny pants
and violent stare
and a face smooth and featureless
worn down from being kissed

the temple
04:40
|
|||
|
i wouldn't really call you a friend
but if you want we can do this
every weekend
so i'll plan to see you
saturday
i've got all this laughter
i'm just giving away
cause i've got some to spare
and you're already there
see you in five minutes
in the temple
we'll talk in circles
with outside voices
living inside of our
second choices
but its warm in the glow
of the flame cupped in your hand
and it's better for me on the ground like this
than if i tried to stand
choking on the dust
of people whom i trust
jesus, how'd you get all that
in the temple
those old men
never thought to ask
what it'd take to make memories
that'd never last
or soak up sunday
in the morning shame
take your place at the table
order more of the same
cause they've got some despair
and i'm already there
meet me in five minutes
in the temple

don't come running
02:16
|
|||
|
no one's calling your name
so don't come running
flowers at night are just the same
a little light is all it takes
i'm naked as the day i came and went away
i'll go again
but i won't go hungry
never wanna be in need
even if its just a dream
i'll find somewhere where
someone's needing me
but please don't go away
not forever
if you leave
please leave easy
i know the ending
cause you told me
lock the handle
leave the key
burn a candle
just for me
