I Wish I Was A Bird
04:00

I wish I was a bird in the sky
i'd fly fly fly never come down
I wish I was a wave in your eye
i'd sigh sigh sigh til I was drowned
I wish I was a flame in your heart
I wish that I could tear you all apart
curling and licking and burning like a star
all that you had
was all that you gave
but in every single way
you fell down
even when the windows
were turned to face the lake
every single voice
screamed turn down!
if I didn't love you best then
you're bound
to rest your face on the windowed lake
til i'm drowned
you can be a bird in the sky
and fly, fly, fly and never come down
and you can be the stone in my eye
i'll cry, cry, cry til my heart is ground
and once I was the flame in your heart
that drove away the horror and the dark
hold to that hearth it will blaze
and bring you home

I Want To Be In Love
02:50
|

|
I want to be in love
and be part of
something that feels bigger than me
I'm searching for that stomache ache
for that deep gut shake
for deep sighs that feel more like cuts and bleeds
I wish that I was still in love with you
and I wish that you were still in love with me
hey you
why aren't you happy by yourself
cause you just keep fucking it up?
why not accept that it's all temporary
shut up and suck it up
why not just drink with your friends
and rise with some relief
that there's no need to wake quietly
and no one to steal your sheets
why do we want to be in love?
i don't want to be in love
i don't want to be in love with you
and i wish that i was still in love with you
and i wish that you were still in love with me
i want to be in love
and be part of
your life your friends and all that you can be
and I wish that I was still in love with you
and I wish that you were still in love with me

Not Fade Gracefully Away
04:11
|
|||
|
I'm not sorry
I didn't walk away
It took courage
To let him walk away
Everyone's talking
Hey it was you that messaged me
I'm not falling
I'm in my confession place
Hey was it just a simple wave
To let him walk away?
Hey I don't want to listen to myself and
Fade and fade gracefully away

“You're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.”
Then the agent sent me home.
“Lovely doll, lovely doll, lovely doll.
You've got to eat, you're skin and bone.”
“Be a man.
If you can.”
“Lovely doll, lovely doll, lovely doll
You're afraid to see us poor
But you're ok, the rent is paid, our bed's unmade
We don't need anything more.
It's beautiful to lay beside you.
And what we built between us here
They cannot tear down.”
“We're beautiful beautiful
We're beautiful beautiful”
But as my stomach leaves my mouth and
I shudder at your slightest touch and
It all falls down.
Can you make me beautiful?
Can you make me beautiful?
Can you make me beautiful?
Can you please make me?
Will it make me beautiful?
Will it make me beautiful?
“You're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.”
Then the agent sent me home.

it's so frustrating
thick head dumb heart
I can't hold it down
thick head dumb heart
it's so degrading
thick head dumb heart
and i'm sorry
i'm sorry for the grief I make
i'm sorry when i'm scared
i'm sorry how I push and poke it's more than I deserve
to have you sleeping next to me
your pale skin rises and falls
your warm hands close over mine
it's so familiar
thick head dumb heart
I won't hold you down
thick head dumb heart
and though i'm crazy
i'm sorry for the time it takes
i'm sorry that i'm scared
i'm sorry how I push and poke it's more than I deserve
to have you sleeping next to me
your pale skin rises and falls
your warm hands close over mine
