both awake 04:15
I can’t shake The anticipation Of our boy Getting better He’s right side up He’s half full cup He’s right on time He’s fine he’s fine he’s fine he’s fine I can’t wait To see the eyes Of our boy Fully realized Oh he can sing And he won’t stop And such great tales He’s thinking up he’s thinking up Thank God you’re not a goner You’re better than you promised Now this one’s gonna take I hope you’re still awake for this I hope you’re still awake You must wait You have to patient My boy Find your nation You’re right side up You’re half full cup You’re right on time You’re fine you’re fine you’re fine you’re fine Hey boy Duck and cover! That old feeling of hunger Brings lightning with the thunder And takes you sweetly under Well, not on my watch Not on my watch Thank God you’re not a goner You’re better than you promised Now this one’s gonna take Thank God we’re both awake for this Thank God we’re both awake for this Thank God we’re both awake for this

my mom 04:02
She takes on too much She talks about all that’s wrong She has a hole in her back from all the damage she’s done And don’t you want to give up Show ‘em who you really are Just another fallen soldier Living out a secret war My mom don’t give up She don’t give a fuck Cancer couldn’t eat her Lung infections can’t defeat her My mom don’t give up These sorts of things seem to run in our blood People calling feeling sorry, don’t pick up And don’t you want to surrender To the vaster and greater And don’t you want to go Belly up My mom don’t give up She don’t give a fuck Cancer couldn’t eat her Lung infections can’t defeat her My mom don’t give up Hold on to your baby hat I never get to say you’re beautiful Fall out your hair Blind out your eyes In a wheelchair or flying through the sky You’re beautiful You’re beautiful My mom don’t give up She gives zero Fucks Cancer couldn’t eat her Lung infections can’t defeat her My mom don’t give up Mom, don’t give up

unplug 04:15
Washing off my Fossils in my Bathtub Scraping all the Parasites off My tongue I’ve got a lot to figure out Sterilize my Razor burns on All fours Cauterize my Brain it tends to Wonder I’ve got a lot to figure out You bathed me You held me You grew me from a baby You loved me You bathed me You held me You grew me from a baby You raised me You loved me

someday 03:07
Charlie cut my hair now my face looks bigger I’m the only one with a real stake in her Oh Why’s it so cold in this house I told you, told you It’s gonna be a better day Charlie woke me up She was crying, hitting Found my little bag Where our money went Oh oh Why’s it so cold in this house I told you, told you It’s gonna be a better day I know, I know it’s cold out there but my Stomach hurts and people like to stare I won’t leave you alone so much someday Buddy woke me up he was crying, shaking Throwing all my clothes in my mother’s suitcase Oh Why you gotta be so cold right now I told you, told you It’s gonna be a better day Buddy held my hair when my waist was bigger He’s the only boy I could take to dinner We’ll be doing fine if we get through winter I know, I know it’s cold out there but my Buttons all broke and people like to stare I won’t leave you alone so much someday Someday, we won’t need to explain What our catastrophic hearts ache for Someday, we won’t need to act like we didn’t see it coming’ Oh but we didn’t see it comin’ I know, I know it’s cold out there I know what people see when they stare I won’t leave you alone so much someday

real problem 04:34
You spend too long with your head in the shower I spend too long with my hand down my trousers Wishing away my demons Pray for me Pray for me You’re holding on for dear life to your towel My knuckles are white from my coward sister Look away my guardians Pray for me Pray for me Take it easy Use your inside voice Go ahead and shout we’re all alone And they already know You spend too long with your head full of stories I choose to live in the glory glory Drinking up the devil Pray for me Pray for me Keep it all in the family No one has to know All in the family Batter up, go! I bathe in baby’s breath I feel it Burning out the urges I breathe in virgin’s dresses I feel it Purify Stop looking so terrified Stop looking so terrified I am better this time God I think I’m sickening And my skin is thickening I need a little more to get me going like before I’ve got a real problem

At night I felt the wind under the door Snowglobe a monster’s snore My dress got wet So I’m drying it out The room moved in so I screamed so loud A smile Strongest muscle Since I’ve been dragged through the dark And with My secret power I can close my heart We moved here when the game was rained out I went to school and I learned to count I’ll never tell how I made my new friend The woods are enchanted A smile Strongest muscle Since I’ve been dragged through the dark And with My secret power I can close my heart

silence 07:53
Sit here in silence Bury your violence In ice and whiskey It won’t hurt a minute to look down admit it, you’re drunk Hold off the phones They don’t ring and they don’t call back Now sit here in silence Watch the lizards crawl over your window Bury your violence The swirling dips into your dreams You better stand upright They’re expecting a life-like Someone who knows why he’s here Though you know better You don’t do impressions of cheer Singing from the mosque Makes my heart sore I don’t know a word But it sounds like The lord Daydream of cold days Pink fingers held over fire You’ll retire When the children play Carnegie Hall You’ve had a minute To think of your limits You’ve had a day To reflect on your ways You’ve two years Rolling footage of anytime Someone caught you in headlights When you’re packing for home And I need a father Here’s hoping you’ll show Singing from the mosque Makes my heart sore I don’t know a word But it sounds like The lord
