Well I’ve been depressed since the day I was born
And I must confess I’ve done my best to ignore it 
But I know that sometimes 
I’m afraid that I might do it

But I won’t ‘cause I’m too afraid of death 
And I won’t ‘cause there’s so much I haven’t done yet
But I must admit that part of it is that I can’t stand the thought 
Of you moving on 

I don’t want you loving anyone else
And I know that’s selfish 
But I can’t help it
I hope you don’t misunderstand me 
I want you to be happy
But I’d rather you be happy with me 

Well I’m up and down like the cascade mountains 
I hate my brain ‘cause it doesn’t function right 
Even with pills I’m still afraid that I might do it 

But I won’t ‘cause I’m too afraid of death
And I won’t ‘cause there’s so much I haven’t done yet 
But I must admit that part of it is that I can’t stand the thought 
Of you moving on 

I don’t want you loving anyone else
And I know that’s selfish 
But I can’t help it
I hope you don’t misunderstand me 
I want you to be happy
But I’d rather you be happy with me 

Guess I’m just the jealous type 
Want to be the love of your life
Don’t wanna be just a memory

Guess I’m just the jealous type
Even from the afterlife 
I wanna be your one and only 

I don’t want you loving anyone else
And I know that’s selfish 
But I can’t help it
I hope you don’t misunderstand me 
I want you to be happy
But I’d rather you be happy with me

Jealous Type (demo)

I’ve got his fight 
And I’ve got his temper 
But if he’s a fire 
Well then I’m just an ember
My life was a circle, his rage at the center 
And he can play nice 
But I’ll always remember 

It’s not right that I’ve 
Spent all this time 
On tightropes and wires
Just to get by 

And I strike my words so I don’t strike a match 
Candor is kerosene to people like that 

Fighting fire with fire only burns down the township 
But I’m keeping count like a goddamn accountant 
And he’s gotta pay for it, there’s no way around it 
Otherwise nothing is to what this pain amounted 

And it’s not right that I’ve 
Spent all this time 
On tightropes and wires
Just to get by 

And I strike my words so I don’t strike a match 
Candor is kerosene to people like that 

I’m just being honest
You know the type
I call it brutal
You call it kind 

How does it feel on the other side?
Victim of this vitriolic strike

I can be the mean one 
I can be kind 
I could give you venom or some peace of mind

I’m under the impression you don’t want to change
So you can leave and I can lose your name 

‘Cause it’s not right that I’ve 
Spent all this time 
On tightropes and wires
Just to get by 

And I strike my words so I don’t strike a match 
Candor is kerosene to people like that 

And I’m safe and sound in my house on the hill
But I can feel still
The fear that you will 

Burn it all, say that I lit the fuse
‘Cause candor is kerosene to people like you

Kerosene (demo)

The Mark

My Bones

it’s a beautiful day for a funeral 
the grave digger’s having a smoke 
no one’s arrived yet 
they all got the time wrong 
too early for a burial 

and i’m still here in my apartment 
i haven’t even put on my shoes 
they can’t start without me 
i’ll leave when i’m ready 
cuz this funeral’s for my youth 

two blocks away in a churchyard 
a headstone sits waiting for me 
“here lies a girl who 
never amounted to anything 
and here lie her dreams” 

everyone tells me it’s better 
on the other side of the grave 
whether that’s true well it doesn’t concern me 
just let me cry for today 

it’s a beautiful day for a funeral 
the grave digger’s ashin’ a smoke 
no one’s arrived yet 
they all got the time wrong 
too early for a burial

too early for a burial
