Save Face
01:57
|
|||
Maybe you’ll get some other dress.
Maybe she’ll be all that you need.
Maybe she won’t.
If need should be to run to me,
Save face. Slow pace. Keep it shelf space.
Go fuck yourself.
Chase ’til you bleed.
Wounds- lick them clean.
Are you free?
I pity you.
Your road’s been rough, too.
But don’t look so blue.
You’re still kickin’ through. Still kickin’ through.
Chase ’til you bleed.
Wounds- lick them clean.
Forget your dream. Are you free?
You fucking mess.
I wish you the best.
I got off scot-free,
And relearned to breathe.
I relearned to breathe.
I got off scot-free,
And relearned to breathe.

The Hunter and the Hare
05:26
|
|||
Do you feel that in the air?
Do you smell that familiar breeze?
Do you feel you’ve been here?
Do you feel?
The hunter left the field.
Fruitless was his yield.
Filled with pity, he took to the city to see what could be healed.
Do you feel?
Well Lady, I feel we’ve met before
In some past life I can’t ignore.
Lady, I feel we’ve met before-
Some past life that I can’t ignore
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it, baby?
Do you feel?
The hunter chose his fare-
Adorned with auburn hair.
Pure and pretty, led her through the city-
Pursued by the White Hare.
Do you feel?
She looks through the window,
To see what she’s in for.
Looks through the window,
To see what she’s in for.
Back to the fields again.
Rifle in his hand.
Visions his prey slain.
But you’re in the White Hare’s domain.
Do you feel?

Birds
03:52
|
|||
Birds are waking me earlier than I’d like.
I’ll stay away for now, but we both know what happened last night.
Oh my friend, my old friend-
How silence pulls thoughts from our heads.
You walk me home through the park,
Slipping on the sidewalk.
And give me just enough, to make me think that this time I’ll call your bluff
Oh my friend, my old friend-
How silence pulls thoughts from our heads.
Why do you look tense?
3am, she’s in your bed.
How does this make sense?
Late night talk at your place,
And I can’t look at your face.
I’m frozen next to you, and I let go of everything I knew.
Oh my friend, my old friend-
How silence pulls thoughts from our heads.
Why do you look tense?
3am, I’m in your bed.
How does this make sense?
Birds are waking me earlier than I’d like.
You walk home to her, and I will run right back to some other.

Red
04:37
|
|||
You heard about my trip.
You heard about my lies.
Well- go easy, and go right.
You burnt a little black
Hole into my bed.
I bet you’re running for red.
Run Red.
I thought he could tear
The veil from my eyes, but
They don’t see past the prize.
Took him by the hand.
Then I left him with the dead.
I bet they’re running for red.
They’re running. Red.
They make it easy to throw it away.
It’s so easy to throw it away.
Love should only give,
But lately that won’t take.
Won’t stick- won’t hold
Just ache for a longing sense to be
Content for now. Content without.
To leave a dent in someone else’s brow,
And I haven’t grown.
Why can’t I be okay alone?
Instead I’ll reap the same bare fields that I’ve sown.
They make it easy to throw it away.
We make it easy to throw it away.
We make it easy to throw it away.
It’s so easy to throw it away.

A Matter of Time
03:25
|
|||
Once I met your eyes, my gaze did rise, and there was only you and I.
Wait and see, when she will free. Haste and call me.
You were mine. It was only a matter of time.
You tried. Always changed your mind.
Pick up the glass. What did mother say? Don’t ask.
“Wait and see…all that I will be.” You said, “Wait patiently. I will rise. It’s only a matter of time.”
Once I…I realized there’s only so much forgiveness left in me.
Not worthy. Careful lest you bleed, and take heed.
Nothing left for you and me.
Once I had found I had died, my soul did rise above the porch steps
Past the sunrise and past your sky
Where there was only you and I.
You and I were only a matter of time.

Thrill
02:13
|
|||
Evening, my skin smells like you still.
I wanna gather through this thrill.
I fight it as I hear sirens weaving
Every night as I lie here not sleeping.
So I’ll wait outside for you to open the blinds.
Open wide.
So why do I try to keep a distance?
Watchful for the path of least resistance.
I’m no good at careful.
Why don’t you show me what that’s good for?
For the thrill.

Come on, Elaine.
You sure look good all draped in white.
Come on, Elaine.
I ran out of gas, but we’ll stop at the Shell. My Alfa Romeo’s parked on the right.
Or we could catch that bus. I hear San Francisco’s out of sight.
Your mom foolishly messed with the sheets where we both sleep.
And I know you really don’t know me.
Come on, Elaine.
It’s fair to say we’re both in for a ride.
Come on, Elaine.
I hear your refrain.
It says your daddy’s rich and your mama’s a bitch.
It’s so hard when you got a scratch that you can’t itch.
You know I foolishly messed with the sheets where we both sleep.
And I know you really don’t know me.
Aren’t you tired of not being seen?
It’s not too late for you, baby.
Come on, Elaine.
We’ll catch that bus down on PCH.
I’m well aware now that this is very strange.
It’s not going to be easy.

Sweet
03:24
|
|||
Grace.
A gentle kind of sweetness to your embrace.
You.
I’ll follow wherever you roam to.
Even if you’re scared.
Even if you wear
Your burdens upon your back in silence.
I’ll try not to ask too many questions.
I’ll be open to suggestions.
I promise you this-
Sweet sugar-coated, silly defeat.
Flee.
Come to me. We’ll get far from everything.
Maybe we’ll go see a show.
Maybe we’ll walk through the snow.
We could escape this world where there’s so much we don’t know.
But we like to take it slow.
So lay there. Rest your bones.
I’ll try hard to just be me, and at times I’ll let you be
Sweet.
Sugar-coated silly defeat.
