I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble

But I do believe
There's beauty within
That's why I can't stop
Picking my skin
Digging for a buried treasure
Digging for a way for me to

Say goodbye
To the stranger on the other side
Say hello
To the bliss of a
Disembodied mind

I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble

But I do believe
There's a reason to live
That is why I'm gonna go
To sea in a sieve
Get me soaked and squeeze me through
Till there's nothing left to do but

Say goodbye
To the stranger on the other side
Say hello
To the bliss of a
Disembodied mind

I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble

And I don’t believe
We could ever agree
That’s why I’ll do anything
To keep myself away from me
Maybe when I’m out of sight
I’ll see me in a better light

Eyes shut tight
Better get this right
Every word of the spell
To rip the soul from its shell

Say goodbye
To the stranger on the other side
Say hello
To the bliss of a
Disembodied mind

I am
in trouble with myself again
I am
in trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
in trouble with myself again
I am
in trouble

Lyrics:
Kleptomaniacrow
Following me wherever I go
Hoping I’ll drop something so
He can add to his collection
He likes the shiniest things
Dangling trinkets
Coins and beads
Offered up some crumbs to eat
But he didn’t seem interested

Kleptomaniacrow
Why follow I?
I’ve not much stowed away
In my pockets today
You have an eye on my necklace

You start a strange charade, a dance,
A’beckon me to follow
So like you always do I follow you this time
You lead me far away
Didn’t take you for a tour guide
You and I, parading by,
Deep into the wood

Oh Kleptomaniacrow
Leading me somewhere I don’t know
And to my horror you led
Me to a body at rest and
There I stood shocked by your side
For to my surprise the body was mine
Did that mean I was a ghost?
I don’t remember dying

And as I stood there crying
Over my own lifeless body
You felt the time was right to snatch
The locket you'd been eyeing
To my demise I realized too late
And with the pull 
The corpse had disappeared
And off you flew holding my soul

“Finders Keepers"
Written in chicken scratch
On my tombstone
Nice touch, thanks for that
Guess that grim reaper
Knew I’d never grow old
Awful funny sendin’ birds to do your work though

“Finders Keepers"
Well you finally have my soul
But little do you know
That necklace is
That necklace is

“Finders Keepers"
Written in chicken scratch
On my tombstone
Gonna pay for that
Couldn't know better
Who knew death would come
With feathers
Who knew he'd send a greedy beak
A’peckin at my feet, oh 

“Finders Keepers"
Well you finally have my soul
But, word to your crow,  though
That necklace is fools gold

Kleptomaniacrow

Lyrics:
Pumpkin head
Flower bed
Just a gourd in a garden
What I’d give
For my own
Flesh and bone
For a day

Silly dreams, are they not?
In the end we all decay and rot
Still I wish to live outside
This hollowed head of mine
Did I exist if I was only ever thoughts? 

Time is fleeting, seasons change
I’m a fool, but still I pray
For my own flesh and bone for one day

Lyrics:
I must be a sheep in wolf’s clothing
I wanna be mean
Haven’t found my growl
If you follow me I wont know what to do
Planned on following you
Planned on following you

I’ll blow your house down
If that’s what all the other wolves do
And I try I try I try I try I try
To fake my way
To become brave
To howl at the moon
To be just like you

I think I’m a sheep in wolf’s clothing
Only thought I think I’ve thought for myself
One day my whole brain had fallen out of my pocket 
Now it collects dust on a shelf

I’ll blow your house down
If that’s what all the other wolves do
And I try I try I try I try I try
To prove my place
To change my face
To do what you do

I’ll blow your house down
If that’s what all the other wolves do
And I lie I lie I lie I lie awake at night
Counting all my old friends as I try to fall asleep
Forgot what they, what they, what they, what they look like
I hope that they have not forgotten me

Lyrics:

I'll play the husband and you’ll
Walk down the aisle
Say “I do” with a smile
Playing house for a while
Taking antidepressants
Poppin Skittles with breakfast
Imaginary problems for the plot
But we’ll solve em, won't we?

(Da da da da da da)
(P-o-p-p-i-n)

And when we're older maybe
We’ll have a couple babies
They'll all be plastic with those googly eyeballs
But they'll probably take after you
So they’ll be the coolest kids
We’ll raise them much better than
Either of our parents did 

(Da da da da da da)
(P-o-p-p-i-n)

Pour another cup of Joe mama
Cracking eggs and jokes in pajamas
Pour another cup of (your mom!)
I joke, I’d like one Americana
Americano? I really don’t know
I just got here, what’s a macchiato?
Cappuccino mocha lungo espresso
Cortado drip affogato ristretto
Where are the pictures? Speaking in riddles
Gimme a cocoa to go with my Skittles

I change my mind, I think I
Wanna play wife and you can, uh
Become a stay at home dad!
(At least until dinner time)
And we can take turns reading
Each other bedtime stories
(Well, once we learn to read)
I know how to almost spell my name!
Same time tomorrow?

(Da da da da da da)

Lyrics:

Always the artist
Never the muse
Crave your attention
You don't have a clue
Keep locking eyes from across crowded rooms
Did you catch my glance or were you looking too?

Always the poet
Never the poetry
Wanna be somebody you only see
Once in your life but remember forever
Eyes sharp as knife
Hair soft as a feather

Compare me to a
Summer’s day
Something romantic
Yet charmingly clever

I-
Wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose
Beg me to be
Your Euterpe, Erato, Terpsichore
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see-

You
You
You

Always the viewer
Never the view
Never the messy
Yet sweet ingenue
Romanticize me
Fantasize about all the ways I’d ruin your life
We keep locking eyes from across crowded rooms
Did you catch my glance or were you looking too?
Overthink every time that we speak
Then write up a song dedicated to me

I-
Wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose
Beg me to be
Polyhymnia, Clio, Urania, please
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see-

You
You
You

Guess this is what I wanted
What I set out to do
So why do I feel so small?
A fly on the wall?
Someone just notice me
Don’t let me only be
Just what I guess I wanted
Stuck in a bird’s eye view
Tell why do I feel small?
A fly on the wall?
Someone just notice me
Don't let me only be

Always the artist
Never the muse
Crave your attention
You don’t have a clue
Romanticize me
Fantasize about all the ways I’d ruin your life
Sailor and siren
Just drown in my eyes
Something erotic
That gives butterflies
Call me your pearl
Your sweet Gibson girl
I’m selfish, I’m vain
Just say I’m your world

I wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose
Beg me to be
Your Calliope, Thalia, Melpomene
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see-

You

Lyrics:
Time is really quite a thief
He found me in the night
And stole my baby teeth

Roadkill in the street
Still breathing
Might be in my head
He’s probably been dead
For a long time now
Don’t ask me how I am

It’s a can of worms
I don’t know the right words
And it only hurts to talk about
So I don’t
So I don’t
So I don’t
And it works
Til it doesn’t work
Just avoiding the hurt
Forever and ever and ever
Ever

I’m a can of worms
I don’t know the right words
And it only hurts to talk about
So I don’t
So I don’t
So I don’t
And it works
Til it doesn’t work
Just avoiding the hurt
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
And ever
Ever

Would I know I’m going mad if I were
Going mad, would I know
As I go would I know
Once I am?
