birds 01:37
Birds always sing into my head they want to raise my living dead I always try to yell at them until they leave me leave me alone Leave my heart and leave my spark Light my matches in the dark Birds always want to make me mad they always seem to get me going But sometimes it's like trying hard only cause they want what I've got Leave my heart and leave my spark Light my matches in the dark It's in my life you break me too You shake the sand out from my shoes And take the life out of my name It's in the game

dixie 02:26
I keep my heart and mind apart It makes it easier to tell the difference I'm always thinking bout the stars aligned And how I'm super fucking pissed today I swear I'm going crazy I don't know what I'm saying I think I'm losing everything I own I like the sound of all my engines going The colors of the sky are dirty grey It also kinda sucks from all the snowing But I don't need another place to stay Im getting sick and tired of all the things I hold I really shouldnt leave here oh so quickly I know a town where we could live it's cool as fuck we I swear to god we can just share our own little place its nice in here so come in here it's getting cold outside the lights are turning on that's when you know it's getting dark and dangerous

grapevine 03:27
Somebody told me all I make are silly noises Somebody wrote me that they liked my song and dance Keep me close to your heart and don't let me break us apart Somebody told me that they heard I quit the show Through the grapevine and the little boys and girls Keep me here in the dark and don't let me break us apart You already said, all those things that hurt my head You just messed me around and I'm not dead but I'm falling down You turned me upside down Somebody let me think that I can't be myself again All the things I held inside got stuck in a doggy pen You stayed near from the start so don't let me break us apart

turtle 02:14
I think I've been lost for too long that I'm gone And I want to show someone what I hold that's wrong I haven't slept for days but I'm okay I swear I was thinking maybe I'm right but please don't take me away I've been thinking a lot But I'm pretty sure Im still lost Thinking is bad for my head but I'm not dead yet I've been thinking I miss the old days I miss having Owen around And I think I want it all back and just when I'm stuck in the ground

cuffs 03:40
You put your cuffs between my wrists and bandage up the cuts inside my super bloody holiday You always change the way I think and make me open up to all the shit I've frozen shut I seem to think that I can't hold it all in It's taking up my time no more stabbing all my clocks through their skin I want to runaway with you It will be easy no more listening to rules only listening to you I must create until I die or maybe till I'm left for dead forgotten by my friends At least I'll have you next to me. You shaped the way I touch and see and feel the things I do I love you Get away from all the time you've had to think about the last words off your tongue

sickday 03:24
I want to find you before they get you I always cared so much I didn't think it even really mattered I want to hold you you make me need you all night long I tried to make myself Into a spirit that I'm not You tried to get away When I was having a sickday You couldn't find the way I don't make me want to see the light I want to buy you so many things I can't afford I want to serve you I want to drop down to the floor If I can't see myself I walk I shut your door the kitchen floor the telephones The scattered bones along the road

mermaid 04:59
I saw your house In the paper today I didn't know how serious your mother really was When she said that she wanted to leave I picked around The tiny thorns I thought that I could keep my hands from bleeding if I quickly pulled away But sometimes it feels better just cut out all the branches in the way I thought I could breathe underwater But I just kept upsetting all the fishes living there I swear I'm good I just really misunderstood I trust the wind And I own the world I spoke to all the trees and all the animals inside my neighborhood They told me please stop hurting her cause hurting her is also hurting you
9.
lose you 04:42
I sit alone I love your face I miss those nights I loved those nights I kiss the phone I love your hair I miss that house I loved that house And I miss the look on your face And I miss the rules that you made And I never thought I'd lose you It's running down my face I never thought I'd lose you I want your hands I loved your hands I want you now I need you now
