I haven't felt you in a while
And it's fine but I miss you
All that mess in the corner
Well we'll get there when we get there
Can't you pull on me harder
I just need some attention
Like a guardian angel
Coming down through the ceiling
Ultra uber ordinary
We attack from different angles
We brush our teeth with the same candle
And someday we kiss in the middle
I'm a pattern of rhythm
That you see that certain way
But if I put my hair up for you
I could be what I wasn’t

So now we're naked and we have to make it right
I think we're popular and its popular to try
We are reducing and we let a volley fly
And give no answers only reasons why
And when were bigger people we'll go away at night
Show me your fantasy I'll love you all the time
You're not anything you're too honest when you lie
I don’t want anything just to go away sometimes
You said we're lucky that one day we get to die
I said we're angels but I couldn't tell you why
I'm tired of the dialogue I want to close my eyes
There's the thing you are then there's the thing you recognize
And when were bigger people we'll go away at night
Show me your fantasy I'll love you all the time
You're not anything you're too honest when you lie
I don’t want anything just to go away sometimes

I want to be there when the astronauts and ambulances go
And when they fly the flags they're still half-mast you looked at me I don’t know
And everywhere was caving in and we were only where we've been and it’s a joke, it’s a joke, it’s a joke
I could be evil, why can't you take a joke?
But you're not evil, I like it when we're holding hands
I think the point might get across and maybe I am I don’t know
There's always something if you're desperate I am desperate I am cold
Then everyone just comes alive they pull the curtain dim the lights I didn’t know, I didn’t know, I didn’t know
You could be evil, or was that just a joke
I feel so evil, I've been sitting on my hands
And if "I Am" was never there to be destroyed there's no control
But I'm still scared and you're still scared and we're alive but I don't know
That's them coming down the street but we're still hiding in the sheets there they go, there they go, there they go
And they are evil, I wonder if they know
That I am evil, I am holding in my hands
And when we think the coast is clear we lock our eyes and we don't know
We wanted to be in that number, resurrect and sing and float
Until I find something else, I will see it in myself its in my throat, in my throat, in my throat
You are so evil, and you can take a joke
We are so evil, when we do what we can

suits are fascist

You are a superstition I don’t mind
I am only vision and that’s fine
It is falling down and I am home
Prettier than what's in front of me
There are only captives that’s not me
But by February it’s a joke
We are starving children but we'll be fine
Look now we're so small that we're alright
I want to give you more than I can
Give you give you give you give you
I'll hold and become you I will be with you
Be yourself so I can forgive you
But these suits are fascist and they're taking over
I'll find you I'll find you I'll find you I'll find you
One day we'll form our circle we'll be found
But now we will suffer we will doubt
Careful we could shoot each other down
Focus I just wish that it would stay
I'm not it enough anyway
April then I don't know what to say
We are starving children but we'll be fine
Look now we're so small that we're alright
I want to give you more than I can
Give you give you give you give you
I'll hold and become you I will be with you
Be yourself so I can forgive you
But these suits are fascist and they're taking over
I'll find you I'll find you I'll find you I'll find you

Is what I'd say if you were here
We forget so many things
And when the moon comes back an ornament but I'm not reassured
So go before I change my mind
She is everything she can
But when I fall asleep ill change my mind ill get what I deserved
I am here I will vibrate I will be good enough to toss
Food for powder food for powder we'll fill a pit as well as better
He wont like us if we carry all these heavy things
Now were upset we don’t know why
Is who I'd be if I had known
I am this and then I'm not
We trade nebulas when no ones watching the things I will observe
They were born from the same star
The orchestra sounds like its melting
Then in a week or two I change my mind I get what I deserve
I am here I will vibrate I will be good enough to toss
Food for powder food for powder well fill a pit as well as better
My limbs have freed themselves I need or want more blankets
I'm still awake I don’t know why
So of course we act like animals
The West™ got hurt trying to see
So of course they made a man of us
i was killed in front of me
And there are gardens we planted gardens
I'm just glad we could agree
We could be angels or just be human
What do you want to be
I am here I will vibrate I will be good enough to toss
Food for powder food for powder we’ll fill a pit as well as better
We have bodies that remember and I wish that wasn’t true
Take a guess I don’t know why

crash the wedding

Okay in a week or two I'll call
I'll move against you if you want
I know it’s a thing if its at all
A recollection no we wont
We can skip the scary parts
Or I can tell you when to hide and seek
I don’t wanna talk talk talk to you make another mess
I crash another engine fails
Like being this way is the hardest part
But we'll be movie stars when we dream tonight
At last at last we'll never die
Oh the things I'm gonna say when I wake up
Walked into the room and cut me off
Your eyes burnt tunnels through my throat
Two tongues of fire not enough
But I could tell you were laughing I could tell
Sometimes its easy its never hard
I could be different but I'm not
But when I think those things that make me think those things that make me think
I'll crash the wedding you'll give up
I don’t wanna talk talk talk to you make another mess
I crash another engine fails
Like being this way is the hardest part
But we'll be movie stars when we dream tonight
At last at last we'll never die
Oh the things I'm gonna say when I wake up
No I don’t wanna talk talk talk to you make another mess
I crash another engine fails
Like being this way is the hardest part
I'm gonna fall asleep before I dream tonight
And then someday I'll never die
'Cause there's nothing I could say when I wake up

whose bones?

Alien am I warm enough
For you to be awake and feel okay
Hold me down let me shiver
I want to be awake and feel okay
When you come home
The motion and the heat
Show me the bones
That waste between your teeth
Idiot and you want it
A ghost we dance we think that we're alive
And we think there are angels
A breath we sing that’s how they tell us why
Leave me alone
Emotional she weeps
Show me the bones
That anything could be

It's hard not to forget your size
Reaching up like a prophet I can touch the sky
When you're a kid and you're so sure you won't die
You're always catching your breath and you don't know why
Everyone gets lonely sometimes
So bleed out and we'll wait til you dry
Everyone needs someone sometimes
So come here I'll never ask you to try
No one really wants to die
But you and me we tell each other that we do all the time

Golgotha I don’t mind when you go away
Levitate you can dance until your fever breaks
Until your fever breaks
If you dream tell me what I'm like when I'm alone
Synchronize or I wont be there when your fever breaks
When your fever breaks
We dress for the occasion
I love you for no reason
But if it never happens
Guinevere will you leave the light on just in case
I'm afraid so I don’t look at anybody's face
Realize that we don’t say a thing and it’s a waste
Don't look back I will be there when your fever breaks
I believe that this attention wont divide it won't divide
Does it notice our intention when we try or when we try
Drive-thru California see the end of time the end of time
Drive-thru California see the end of time the end of time
