don't leave me alone in the house that I grew up in
I feel faint in the bliss that I once soaked in
what spoils did exist
the frosting still on my lips
who is this girl that knows me naked?
she is all I have learned and forgotten
she is all I have been
and have forgotten
who is this girl I have forgotten?
my child

sometimes I get mixed up
03:07

I've punched a few guts out
then floated away down the sidewalk
but they never lose their appetite cause we still go out for dinner all the time
been trying to figure out why
figure out why you stick around on this ride
do my ups and downs make you feel nice
If you don't tell me I may not guess right
I'm floating away down the sidewalk
apologizing for fingers I've ripped off
sometimes I get them mixed up with other things around me it sucks
sometimes I get mixed up

my friends
01:12
|

|
I do it all in pursuit of myself
I do it all in pursuit of myself
I do it all for no one else
I do it all in pursuit of myself
but I remember my friends before and after I pass out

Does this give me a reason to look out the window
watch the light through the shutters for an hour or so
I don’t care if I get dizzy cause I can deal with that now
just need a few salty pretzels and a chair to sit down
I will outrun my jitters
I’ll befriend my blurry eyes
cause my condition is my condition
I must be moving on some time
fine fine fine fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine
the world is happy enough
I’ll stop sticking out my tongue

bed

at the end of the night
I see you feeling something
floral patterns on your tongue
happy that you let me look at em
at the end of the night
I watch you drift through every season
which one would you like to meet in?
happy to move between them
your ears ask for nothing
but a soft place with your sweet sweet loving
a soft place a soft place with your loving

somethings different, I think about it hourly
somethings different, do you feel it baby?
are we...?
are we...?
somethings different, oh please let me touch you
somethings different, will you feel brand new?
are we...?
are we....?
come over, I’ll sing till you feel nothing
come over, we’ll sleep in dreams of nothing
are we...?
are we....?

stranger love
02:55
|

|
my bedroom looks very different now
I sleep much close to the window now
I can’t keep it open cause the streets are so loud
I think that you’d agree with me if you were around
eating my apple when you say what’s up
well, look what I’ve become with all of this freedom
I can tell you it’s not that fun
wanna tell you you’re the stranger I will always always love
now, I love music most in the car
yeah we have grown apart
we have grown apart

shooey drive slow

My father’s burnt like a lobster
on the inside and the outside too
oh how he looks just like my brothers
melts into the patience of my mother
on his tiny little world
he calls me shooey, shooey drive slow
My father’s peace is in pine needles
inside of his mouth and outside of it too
oh how I wish he’d stay in between
the top of the mountains and the bottom of the sea
so much pressure there you don’t need
but I know that pressure is for me
on his tiny little world
he calls me shooey, shooey drive slow
he calls me shooey
please, shooey drive slow

big hug around myself
03:20
|

|
I must keep remembering that it’s all inside me
if I don’t, I wake up so sad
it's all inside me
the song I wake up to must be just the right song
I buzz with all the things that I am
I have no favorite color at the moment
they’re all very strong right now and I can’t think so simply right now
my entire life moves with me where ever I go
it is all here right now buzzing inside me
my belly aches
the blood below it
my body is woman my body is the space of me
we have trouble and we have fun
we hug ourself
big hug around myself
happy to be here
that is usually all that I mean to say
