Take Take Take Take

yr house is a bird's nest, too
how does it feel to know you owe

everybody

you hold the keys to the city
this design seems obvious to me

everybody knows

yr house is a bird's nest, too

Eminence

i hoped that you wouldn't see me
now that i'm out on the guillotine block-
-ing out all the dearest pictures
a perfect past-tense monologue

i hoped that you wouldn't see me
now that i'm back on the calendar call-
-ing back to the faintest whisper
of front-porch midday dialogue

i hoped that you wouldn't see me
now that i'm tied the tumbleweed talk-
-ing through all the boring fixtures
the  leftover life catalog

i hoped that you wouldn't see me
now that i'm locked in the currency crawl-
-ing down to the same remainder
a daily deadlocked epilogue

now that i have climbed every wall
only to watch them fall
i hoped that you wouldn't see me
now that there is nothing to see

i hoped that you wouldn't see me

Martyr

alien angel, a dream that bleeds in me
a temporary promise between that woooooooo

alien angel, this green doesn't need to leave
put the sun inside your pocket between that woooooooo

alien angel, it seems to me that we
can read each others' vomit between that woooooooo

alien angel, you may know the concept
of praying for the comet to ease that woooooooo

that woooooooo-ooooo-oooo

alien angel

Lyrics

My legs have grown so old from its joy and youth 
Yet I'm always up for walking, swimming, 
Spending hours talking with you, with you

I kind of really love the way you are 
And I want many more years to spend with you 
Out in the winters while the sun's taking the afternoon 
My Darling, though my pride may scare the both of us sometimes 
I'll set it all aside to keep you mine

Seasons may change and this love may take some work 
But if life had some sort of measure for counting all this joy and pleasure 
Mine would be full

And I want many more years to spend with you 
Out in the winters while the sun's taking the afternoon 
My Darling, though my pride may scare the both of us sometimes 
I'll set it all aside to keep you mine

My, you're looking lovely 
My, your gaze distracts me 
My love, it's yours to keep

Take Take Take Take
