The only time I lie at peace is when I’m swimmin’ in my lay You kiss me gentle and my heart feels nice she’s got nothing to say I must remiss myself for what the world has given me today Romantic Hamlet for my skull’s become a Microwave
[CHORUS: What else am I supposed to think? Show me what else I can think What else am I supposed to think? Show me what else I can think ]
Hope I don’t lose myself because of how these fists pound on my head We woke up coughin took a walk around the morgue and paid the rent Study-compose and theorize but shoot ‘em out? I don’t see why ‘cause she’ll condole and you’ll say “fine” but you’re still stuck with this guy
[CHORUS]
You keep my quietus my bones are fine my bod-can take a few I know you care-an all but no one needs so I’ll carry-on with you A cigarette without the taste If I can’t digest I just chew A radon test A flashing light Don’t tell me we’re just like you?
[CHORUS]
I kick it over all the time Well I can train it if I try An early bed but still no sign of progressing past the web-foot line Department expiration lights They see me staring at the tide And Paris baby wants a ride I know she can’t be far behind
I woke up the Fosters They called out a curse I'm tired of weekdays My tongue's getting worse I like when it rains here I can't go outside I hope you still like me I'm scared in my mind
All the weather's out And every day feels like today Got no promises Attention is scrolling away Feel the rhythm hold me down I look outside and see
My friends are in safety They still make me laugh My surface is shaking He looks like a calf I hate when I sleep in I like when I sleep I don't wanna wait for you But at least I'll get to speak with you
Eyelids heavy now I only hear the things that you say Can't remember it But I can see the light in your face Feel the river hold me down I look outside and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again
Not sure what I'm thinking It's harder to say Don't know what I'm feeling But you feel okay You're holding me forward I'll do what I can If I could move faster I'd stay where I am
Hold these doors There's more of 'em when you look away You're myself At least that's what I want you to say I feel you pull me down I look to you and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again
I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' if you were even there I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' how you were even there 'Til the flowers Come back

I’ll vacuum the carpet once we arrange all our figurines Funny the way that a thing catches dust without moving A push and a pull there It’s like someone put salt on the floor Really feels like the present or is that just how you came through the door?
[CHORUS: They’ve got a couple of trips to make before the end of the day They’ll be surprised to wake up and find that yesterday wasn’t a dream ]
But was it a stop sign climbin the stairs with the tables ‘n chairs? It’s just that my fingers were harmed but at least I get you in my arms Imagine the walls filled and we swim away through the living space We’ll hook up the thick screen I’m hopin the gang finds the new place easily
[CHORUS]
come on, I got some windows for ya
Walkin the list And they’ve got a couple of trips to make before the end of the day They’ll be surprised to wake up and find that yesterday wasn’t a dream Fresh out the past and color the pieces last They’re pushin up the canopy first Their brains’ll be hot Their bodies, dry But by the end they’re gonna see where it leads
I got the sheets There’s nobody left here to thank but us We’re gatherin dust I’m glad that we’re stuck in a new place
Look out the window it’s time for the sanitization Calm down sailor the end’s just an anchor aweigh Well you killed any love that I had for the organization So write your letter but we all know what you’re gonna say
[CHORUS: I couldn’t wait I couldn’t wait for the end of term It’s been a long day comin home I couldn’t wait I couldn’t wait for the end of term It’s been a long day comin home ]
You tried, buddy but you can’t depend on your slander now The boots of the people will stain all the back o’ your coat Was it worth it to try holdin back all the Mountain Due? Was it worth it to shout at the crowds just to end up alone?
[CHORUS]
Roll out the carpet our friend here is takin a final bow You’ll look your best when you’re givin your closin speech And there’s no defendin your ass now the grownups’ll take it from here now say hi to the devil when you get back home from the beach
[CHORUS]
It’s been a long day comin home It’s been a long day comin home It’s been a long day comin home

[VS1]: Rose chips are fallin' on a plate full of coffee grounds The sky is falling on our heads, but we're too busy with these clouds If I could just fall asleep on this bench right next to you If I could spend all my life in this aging month But our parents are callin'
[PC1]: I guess you're right I don't really think it matters either I've been taking empty pills all week But you paint my brain some pretty colors
[VS2]: Your eyes are too bright to hide, so don't apologize 'Cause I would rather waste my time with you inside this moment, petrified And by the way, I tried, and I'm sorry it took me so long There's something past the wall of mist that stands between us and the next few months
[PC1]
[CH1]: So let's rake these leaves and jump on in Let's dip our feet into the crick There's nothing like death to bring you to life So fill my bucket up with wonder Cut me open wide
[BR1]: I'll stand next to the road and You'll tell me where we'll go Tell me where to go My sock has a hole But I'm hopin' you can wrap me up and Feel the static beneath our feet Nustle up under the ghost-filled tree Slip into the blanket comfortably
[BR2]: We can pick up rocks and mud to build a pile of bones to hold us up Maybe someday they'll make a fortress filled with pictured buttercups But 'til then, let's run and play And we can dance between the skeletons Let's stop talking, a four-armed garden makes our bed (And the sky is fallin' on our heads)
[PC2]: I guess you're right I don't really think it matters either I've been taking empty pills all week But you paint my brain so pretty
[CH2]: So let's rake these leaves and jump on in Let's dip our feet into the crick There's nothing like death to bring you to life So cut me open, cut me open wide
[CH2]
(Cut me open wide)
*thoughtful whistling*
In the early morning gold mong the hours that kept her cold rose the honest heart Matilda rushing on through brush of old though the warning once she told there across it would unfold as the great once met the growing there Matilda met the road
The sight was neither here nor there the blanket comes to fall had every world been different would it be a sight at all?
Thought Matilda knows the ways the apes could keep her far away from her ends and from her children from those missing in her wake yes she knows the trusted cage how it sits in Packer’s place and the rolling buildings she will know but not anticipate
Through the ragged vision lines came a flash and broken chime it was just too far a distance it was just too near a time as the condos flock on by Matilda searches with her eyes “If I can’t go with the back then with the front I will arrive”
Through the trees will harden through the winter’s pardon they won’t ask questions all the while though the fear will live and although they take and give it there is no hatred in the corrugated wild
Holiday is sore again, he’s s’posed to show at four came to build a presentation, little leaflets on the board He was flown by twenty floors, takin’ cracks that open doors, hopin’ Jesse there would ask him out and leave him wanting more
And Olive is his niece who wants to feel the bitter peace that invaded one Matilda on the road outside Caprice And her folks will make her crease while she’s learning legalese this machine is vending choc’late so she takes a bitter piece
In the modern garden the taller apes are guardin’ what you wouldn’t risk a mile All they know is love and thinkin’ worlds above when there is no wonder in the unsophistic wild
She troubled not to cry too much for Sellister zoolye as the keeper of her young, they couldn’t bear to know the sight Since the day has gone awry, she kissed ‘em all their heads goodbye and she traced her scent away to save the busy for the night
She promised not to die alone she means some other time after all of thousand colors she has yet to let outside Now she must avenge her life ‘fore dear Sellister arrives and she’ll drink up her water because she has to
As the rivers widen, the money rolls the tide in he keeps cuttin’ all the while A call will find a witness the young will state their business it’s gettin’ cold within the uncreated wild
Forging what the road surrenders, though she doesn’t ask for much as she’s taking in her living, she’s been giving out her blood No one calls, unless it’s urgent no one holds, none would try she’s been runnin’ for the mornin’, for the landlord soon arrives
Every once in two or three she’ll venture off into the trees, passing by the rocky billboards, searching for an old machine But all she finds are painted lines and decoration traffic signs if she could count the grass between her toes, she’d love ‘em all the time
Though her sight may widen, though her Fates are fightin’, she can’t stop it all the while But she’s got hearts to burn and a whole turntable turnin’ there is no rest from the unsophistic child
The Arctic makes a woodland break, for so it goes for all If all the young were different would there be a sound at all?
For All We Have by Levi Robinheart
[sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne]
Keep me awake and ring me out of ars’nic and of love Fulfill my weary trav’ling wish reaffirm the skies above For all we have is fear and hope these ends will gather means And ‘spire new beauty for our world and all of life between For grave surrounding time and love take hold of what you need For all we have is fear and hope and all of life between
You’re a tunnel and the wind is your bully Blood-red wine will drip down your straws Your throat is coated in dust, mind you A testament to your sold-out heart
I’m a garage made for anyone to sleep in I’ll hold your boxes if you just shut the door Don’t wake the walker in his sleep, mind you He’d bound to cry another night for you
[CHORUS: I couldn’t tell if there’s too much I couldn’t tell if it’s not enough It’s so strange the way that the weather turns a dime I couldn’t say if that’s the way I felt but I’m sure glad that you’re here You can sew me up, I’ll be fine with that You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that ]
Nobody gives the kid their orders Nobody gives the girl away Nobody’s old with the rest of them Somebody love Nobody’s body away
A phantom in the alley sings their heart out ‘cause they can’t find a single word to say And when the singin’s done and there’s nowhere else to go the Strawman brings his hat along the way
[CHORUS]
I bet a pencil could go writin’ through my forearm A squish would send me flat along the floor You’re here to kiss me, I’m here to kiss you too if to keep myself from headin’ out the door
My blood is low now and beauty seems so easy You make me wish that I was older by a day There’s nothin’ in my coat I wouldn’t give, mind you, to have the salt across my tongue another time
[CHORUS] x 2
You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that
Worth It
Purple was the day we met Whoever she is I don’t know who she is She’s everybody and I think that means That I’m goin to Hell I’m already in Hell What the hell She’s got a brain She knows it, too It makes sense If it don’t end happy, you know
(Stop Me!)
[CHORUS: It’s never goin away I’m stuck with you in my basement in my basement You and your stoning eyes All the words unsaid Do you think I coulda made it? Too soft, too rough And you always seem to say enough Oh god, enough You better tie me down Cause it’ll happen again in my basement in my basement ]
I found him through an open door Whoever he is I don’t care who he is He’s all I think about, I don’t feel smart He’s so cool with himself Why couldn’t I meet him? He’s got his friends, I got mine, too Sure it’s alright If I don’t make him happy, you know
(Stop Me!)
[CHORUS]
Oh, take a simple way to say the things you know Oh, such a simple way to say the things you don’t want to know
I see their eyes a golden lens Whoever they is I think I know who they is They’s all I want, my life is a joke They says “that isn’t true I like believin in you” They gives me heat, they goes back home Sure it’s fine If I still gotta let them go
(Stop Me!)
[CHORUS]
(in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement)
