New Year's Eve (Chapter 14)

When I breathe deeply I wish my heart was always filled with wind 
Like the man searching through the garbage tin 
In sycamore grove park, now he sits across from me 
On hot clay benches and I wonder if he can see 
The disintegration of my mind trapped in my head 
It seems pretty hard to go unnoticed 
Can he hear the tick tick boom 
I’m about to lose it

I love you cause you're an awful liar 
I love you cause you're a terrible fighter 
you don't have a bad bone in your body babe 
So I'll use all mine to take your pain away 

tick tick tick boom 
i'm on one 
tick tick tick boom 
i'm on one
My heart's a bomb 
My heart's not an organ, it's a bomb

Take your pain away

Driving Away From Me

i like your wrists (Chapter 5)

maybe it's the retrograde 
spinning up high in space 
or maybe it's the way i missed saying goodbye to you by a day 

i know that I should call but i just can't help it 
everything i feel is probably just projecting 
i'm looking for a way out, looking for an exit 
should I just go home? 

maybe it's the rain 
maybe it's the rain 
maybe it's everything i'm too scared to say 
maybe it's the rain

maybe its the rain (demo)

to hurt me (demo)

Baby tell me how long were you with me 
when you didn’t love me anymore? 
Baby tell me how long did you see her face
when I thought I was safe in your arms? 
Baby tell me how long you heard the radio
 and thought of her as a song?

If you love her, then I probably will too. 
It makes me sick, it makes me sick 
to think that you and I have the same taste in 
liquor, girls, and music

Baby tell me how long were you fighting the truth 
to protect me from you 
Baby tell me was it hard to let me go? 
Or is there a piece me that you still like to hold 
Baby tell me, am I supposed to hate you now 
Cause I’m sad, but I don’t 

If you love her, then I probably will too. 
It makes me sick, it makes me sick, it makes me sick 
to think that you and I have the same taste in 
liquor, girls, and music

same taste in music [demo]

you're so blurry (Chapter 23)

The world is on fire 
But you my love 
Are always on my mind 
I see your face in every page 
You reading me the lines 
Id be better off 
To forget all about 
Your fingers inside me 
But naturally you’re no good for me 
So you always on my mind 

The world is on fire babe 
But you’re always on my mind 
The world is on fire 
Mmm 

I hear the jukebox broken again 
Playing the same tune 
You’re obsessing about someone 
Who could so easily forget you 
Does no matter to me 
All I can see 
Is your lips on my pelvis 
No matter to me 
This will keep it alive 
Long after the memory 

The world is on fire 
But you’re always on mind mind 
The world is on fire 
But youre always on my mind 

Youre always, always on my mind

the world is on fire [demo]

Here comes the purple over the window pane
Here comes the purple 
The color of love
once it's been bruised and changed 

Ah ah ah 
would have waited forever 
Ah ah ah 
would have waited forever 

I am the contender for your pain
come on, put it on me babe 
come on, put it on me babe 
I am the contender for your pain
come on, put it on me babe 
come on, put it on me babe 

i'm all clogged up with your rhetorical fantasies 
oh honey you sure did a number on me 
now i'm doing my best to make space 
for someone who will be good to me
give me more oxytocin
pump, pump, pump it up 
oh honey you did a number on my lungs 
now i'm doing my best to make space for the good to come 

Ah ah ah 
would have waited forever 
Ah ah ah 
would have waited forever 

I am the contender for your pain
come on, put it on me babe 
come on, put it on me babe 
I am the contender for your pain
come on, put it on me babe 
come on, put it on me babe
