Whenever I saw you at the corners
Of Madison Street and Missouri Avenue
I knew I had never seen anything so beautiful
And would never see anything so beautiful again
It stands out so clear in my mind
Like the birth of my daughter or the OKC bombing
And I hate to compare you to an act of domestic terrorism
But that's just how my mind works

You know what's going through my mind
Cause it's coming out of my mouth
My brain is bulimic
And my thoughts are it's sustenance
I'm trying to be thinner
I wanna be transparent
Cause I can do anything in the world
Except for what I need to

Honesty is Preferred

I didn't wash my hair for a couple of days
To keep your smell locked by my face
Your perfume may have been cigarettes
And high end cocktails but I don't care
Honesty is preferred
I know I keep flirting with quitting drinking
But it's not really a problem for me
The last hangover brought me to my knees
But so do you so I don't care
Honesty is preferred
Some things just don't feel quite right
And no one is as dumb as you think
You can't hide anything from anyone
And neither can I but I don't care
Honesty is preferred

I won't say I wanna kiss you
I've said it plenty already
I understand my problem
I'm never enough but always too much
I just want you to love me
Like I love Seth Goodwin's '93 Tercel
I won't say I wanna fuck you
When we've fucked already
I understand my problem
I'm never enough but always too much
I just want you to love me
Like I love Seth Goodwin's '93 Tercel

I'm walking on your street
But where am I going
Now I'm headed downtown
I could drink something
I should save my money
Not go spend it on beer
I think I'll go drinking
It's been my routine for years
|

We both agree that it's nothing
Like a cut on my harm
And when my wound reopens
We say it'll do no harm
There's blood to keep me honest
I close my eyes to envision hope
We are lost deep and wandering
And early on we ditched our rope
I'm uncertain of our chances
But I'm glad I'm lost with you
I'm not sure that's how I feel
But you're all that I have now

Tearing nails out of the wall
In the rent house I just moved into
I don't have much art of hanging
Just bad qualities I want to expose
And as I put my arms around you
I feel like I'm committing fraud
I'm saying prayers for my fingers
Approaching your body as my altar
I better get some holy water
For imperfections be my redeemer

Fat Witch

The fat witch think she's in my head
And maybe she is since I'm talking about it now
I don't like her all that much
I hope she dies and I hope it hurts

Saturday on West
01:15
|
|||
|
The trees all lose their leaves
With the cooling of the breeze
But the sun is still bright and warm
It's only purpose is to burn
In the morning air a little hungover
With the new clarity of getting sober
I'm a satellite revolving around
Nothing of much value
|

There's so much I've been meaning to say
But lately I've been so short for words
I'd drive forever into the sunset
If there wasn't an ocean blocking my way
And I just want you to know
That I've been waiting for the day
When that horizon is finally dry
And I never have to see you again
|
||||

Today was wasted
It's not even night
Maybe I'll call you
That'll feel alright
My energy feels broken
I've got nothing special
Tryna break habits
I only do nothing
You say it's a cycle
If it were good "routine"
|
||||

You've passed out in the bar again
Good thing you've got such loving friends
The pull you out and push you in the road
You always make it home alone
You're as happy as you can be
Of course you can't get off the floor
You've got your cash for the bar
Because there your friends are never too far
|
||||

|
I turn to you and say
You can tell me anything
You smile and turn back
To face the television screen
We never talk about our problems
And this conversation doesn't say things
In just a few months we'll be over
And then the cycle starts repeating

No Fun
01:20
|
|||
|
Always finding a reason to complain
Always declining to dance
Always talking about the same shit
Always keeping my distance
I'm know that I'm no fun
I'm declining to go out swimming in the sun
You say that you think that I'm alright
But I'm the only person that's with me all the time
I'm telling you that I'm no fun
