Intro / I Waited
09:07
|
|||
|
i saw you walking on the bricks
with those scars drawn on your wrist
slender hands means tender lips
i didn't try to resist it
i heard you play erik satie
i held you after that party
the stars were burning bright above me
i only wanted to be seen by you
i have waited so long
i can't wait anymore

Bring It out of Me
03:58
|
|||
|
your bible's on the floor
in the backseat of your car
hasn't been looked at in at least three years
but you keep it around just in case
god just appears, despite all rationality
and asks if the pages have been dog-eared
or highlighted and you'll just say
bring it out of me
and take away my secrets and my best abilities
rid me of my peace
and grant my wishes occasionally
but only when you want
let your will be done
it's no secret anymore
you've lost your faith in peace
we'll just ride the waves of heartaches
after heartbreaks until we're saved
by our deaths, but only if death is relief
if it's not and i see god when i cross over the line
i'll say
bring it out of me
and strip away my not-so-sacred individuality
and give me surgery
without anaesthesia just so i can get my wings
and sing holy, holy
holy, ho

Coming Out
02:49
|
|||
|
fall into your arms when i'm passed out and high
i can't bring myself to tell you the real reason why
it's hard when i'm not sure myself
everyone's a secret when it comes to themselves
we create these little closets in our minds that we hide inside
and we're never coming out, never coming out
they told me on the playground i should be a man
and i really tried and i still really don't understand
why i should try to be anything
i hurt myself to try it and i've still got the scar
it's a memory of holding you outside my car
it's never coming out again, never coming out

Fate (Rolling In)
01:55
|
|||
|
fate can drive you to a party
and leave you there
and as you look up at the people
you start to stare
yesterday fate took your lover
out for a spin
she's in your mind, your arms, your temples
you'll remember her well
you drove her to the rocky beach and
the fog was rolling in
and then today i threw the towel out
it's not fair, it never has been

Crybaby / Seven Sons
10:34
|
|||
|
when you called my name
what was in your mind
did you want my hands
bleeding in your eyes
did you want a man
who could never cry otherwise
well i'm not that, baby, so change that lovely story
i'm not that, honey, i'm a loser crybaby
when you saw my face
what did you first think
did you want my heart
in the kitchen sink
wash it every day
keep it nice and clean
well that can't be
cause i'm not that, baby, so change that lovely story
i'm not that, honey, i'm a loser crybaby
it's all i ever will be
*****
i waited so long for you
i'll keep it sacred
i waited so long for you
i'll keep it sacred
god, i can't shake it off
i will hold you until you aren't you
seven months birthed seven sons
they're all gone now
i hope i was enough, [redacted]

More Than Meets the Eye
02:38
|
|||
|
i need you so i can be
a better human being than me
i'm a ball of tight-knit anxiety
but i'm constantly unraveling
until i'm done
your body is my reference point
my psyche is all but destroyed
make your paintings my scripture
nervous waiting for your words
that never come
i'm not your kind of guy
there's more than meets the eye
there's more than meets the eye

Fate (Glances)
02:48
|
|||
|
it was nothing more than hapless happenings
strung from the highest branches of our social ladders
brought together in a one and a thousand shot
hung from the top and falling
for what reason should i date you
for your brilliant green eyes, for your character
for your sexuality
there wasn't much i didn't love about you
but something wasn't there all the way through
let's go from the start
all these people and all these glances
all these horrible dead-end romances
brought up from their moldy graves
brought up to satisfy fate
is there a god dictating all of this
if you're there, tell me why, how, or anything at all
if you don't mind, if you don't mind
you're as distant as my now ex-girlfriend
it's painful and it's ugly
and i want a change of plan
if you don't mind, if you don't mind
start me over completely
make me new
i want to be free
i want to be free

Missed
04:16
|
|||
|
we drove around town to the old spots
had a couple laughs and cried a lot
we remembered all of the good times
and ended up watching movies at my house
i kissed all the places i knew i'd miss
i kissed all the places i knew i'd miss
i kissed all the places i knew i'd miss the most
we drove back to your house so slowly
i had to pull over so i could stop crying
we waited it out til it couldn't last
there are things that we just can't control
i kissed all the places i knew i'd miss
i kissed all the places i knew i'd miss
i kissed all the places i knew i'd miss the most

My Leigh
03:55
|
|||
|
i was found before you lost me
took my skin away from me
so defenseless, i built these fences
and rose them up, oh god, my leigh
i was alright or so i thought
til we spoke of what pained me
but the dust burned my eyes
i didn't realize what you had done, oh god, my leigh
you brought me out of me
yeah, you brought me out of me
