Sometimes in my head
I dream back to back vignettes
Of me in my death bed
I know you don’t care
My skin has changed from blue to red
I’m taking my first breath
As she sings
Mend, again, again and again
I can mend, again,
again and again
I can mend again, again and again
I can mend
She said “I’m your friend
Again, I know what you meant.
It’s hard to sit back watching everything end”
I don’t think that we can just pretend
I never said it all
I still feel you there
Basking
In my vacant stare
I know it wasn’t fair
And though your face may change
My broken bones will stay the same
The all familiar pain
As she sings
Mend, again, again and again
I can mend, again, again and again
I can mend again, again and again
I can mend
She said I'm your friend
Again, I know what you meant
It's hard to sit back watching everything end
I don't think that we can just pretend
I never said it all
Mend, again, again and again
I can mend, again, again and again
I can mend again, again and again
I can mend
She said I'm your friend
Again, I know what you meant
It's hard to sit back watching everything end
I don't think that we can just pretend
I never said it all
Sway with me
In time we’ll get better
In time we’ll get better and.

Not Alone
02:52
|

I don’t think you know that you’re not alone
Cut into the skin, carve into the bone
I don’t wanna take up another headstone
Cope until the day that you’re not alone
Elevator shakes and I do too
I’m sixteen lonely floors away from you
From a dimly lit and half-home one bedroom
Rehearsing all the lines that I’ll say to you like
“Sorry that I woke up before you left
I’m A broken man and I think you need a new love”
Spouting words, I can’t contain
But I’ll come back time and again
I don’t think you know that you’re not alone
Cut into the skin, carve into the bone
I don’t wanna take up another headstone
Cope until the day that you’re not alone
It gets harder every day
So, I’ve been looking at it each and every way
A lasting feud with a beer can who
I’ve been bleeding dry since twenty-two
And it’s hard enough to breathe
So, breathe in for me
I don’t think you know that you’re not alone
Cut into the skin, carve into the bone
I don’t wanna take up another headstone
Cope until the day that you’re not alone
Elevator shakes and I do too
I’m sixteen lonely floors away from you
From a dimly lit and half-home one bedroom
Rehearsing all the lines that I’ll say to you
I’ll say to you
Say to you
I’ll say to you
I don’t think you know that you’re not alone
Cut into the skin, carve into the bone
I don’t wanna take up another headstone
Cope until the day that you’re not alone

Food For Your Garden
02:50
|
|||
You’ve got me looking in the rear-view mirror
Cause I still get the feeling that you might be here
Start to panic and I drive too fast
And you can watch me flying off the overpass
“You and me against the world” she said
You and me we may as well be dead
Maybe I can change
Maybe I could say “Maybe I’m the bedrock in your way”
I'm just food for your garden
Buried under weight
In the light of day
Watch me decay
I'm just food for your garden
I'll occupy the same space they do
With old family pets helping flowers bloom
A safety coffin with sufficient room
I quite like it down here, so I'll never move
Maybe I can change
Maybe I could say “Maybe I’m the bedrock in your way”
I'm just food for your garden
Buried under weight
In the light of day
Watch me decay
I'm just food for your garden
And down here we all sing
I'll retire my human form
And seep into the soil for the roots to gorge
I'm as useful as I'll ever be
Picking off the petals to remember me
When I’m gone will you remember me?
Maybe I can change
Maybe I could say “Maybe I’m the bedrock in your way”
I'm just food for your garden
Buried under weight
In the light of day
Watch me decay
I'm just food for your garden

Fake Frown
03:01
|
|||
I know you
Don’t know me
To feign the face of struggling
To get you to
Write me up
With any luck
I’ll pay the man to fuck me up
I won’t pull through
And I can’t go a day without
I’ve been faking homesick
You’ve been chasing my tricks back to you
A medicated meltdown
Away from splitting my fake frown in two
I’ll get back to you
You could be
Broke with me
A fear of god just like the week
I’m a hollow
Razor need
Watch it bleed
If you won’t,
I won’t say a thing
I’m a hollow
And I can’t go a day without
A sedative to hold me down
I’ve been faking homesick
You’ve been chasing my tricks back to you
A medicated meltdown
Away from splitting my fake frown in two
I’ll get back to you
You’re not strong so the drugs can be stronger for you
Don’t be humble you know
Got fake friendships in all the right places do you
Think that matters at all
I’ve been faking homesick
You’ve been chasing my tricks back to you
A medicated meltdown
Away from splitting my fake frown in two
I’ll get back to you

We Might Be Alright
03:14
|
|||
Recall me in the morning
Before our perfect crimes
And a handmade sign
That says “we might be alright”
And it cleaves the passage from your house into the street
You’d have to read it if you made your way to me
And I’ve been thinking that we fucked up everything
But we might be alright
But darling
You don’t want to know
Just how far this goes
Call me in the morning
I can trace that perfect line
Down your left-hand side
And I know I’ll be alright
I’m thinkin’,
It’s kind of fucked up that you’re testing me
On a call on the floor of your old apartment
You don’t want to know
Just how far this goes
Darling
You don’t want to know
Just how far this goes
And I might not be the same
As the boy you loved that day
Is it me that you abhor?
He needs you more
He needs you
You don’t want to know
Just how far this goes
Darling
You don’t want to know
Just how far this goes
