there's a well worn record with a title i forget
i listen when he's on my mind and i'll admit he hasn't left
one day i'll pick it up and that heavy dust will bring me to tears
but for now i'll down a shot, sing forget-me-not, and wish he were here
i don't deserve him. he's not like us
he's pure and kind, never out of line, and his heart is full of love
you don't deserve her, but you call it self-destruct
but we're hurricanes, we can't help but break every heart that comes to us
there's an old guitar case somewhere with a picture of your wife
and a slow song from havana that came from another life
but we were all of that at once, the highest tide of afterglow
was it love, or drugs, or alcohol? i guess i'll never know
i don't deserve him. he's not like us
he's pure and kind, never out of line, and his heart is full of love
you don't deserve her, but you call it self-destruct
but we're hurricanes, we can't help but break every heart that comes to us
that harmless indian medicine sure made a fucking mess of us

Two Sisters

i think it was a tuesday
that's what it felt like, anyway
the day you tore my dress and you swore it'd be ok
lying in the bathtub
surrounded by my blood
i was nine but i pretended it was love
it's been a couple years, now.
though i still remember somehow
through all the times i've tried erasing you from my mind
i didn't understand then
no, i barely knew the concept
but i bet you can guess that i'll never be the same
i never know. is there another word for no that i just don't know
my body is freezing
and so you offer up your sheets
i've been drinking and i tell you i'm only sixteen
you said it wouldn't happen
but now i'm drunk passed out on your bed
if i had the strength, you know i would've fought back
it's been a couple years, now.
though i still remember somehow
through all the times i've tried erasing you from my mind
my friends didn't believe me
well, i wish they could've seen me
stumbling around in the street after you kicked me out that night
i never know. is there another word for no that i just don't know
i want to say your name now
specific consonants and vowels
but i can't bring myself to call you out
they say it's one in three girls
and i have two sisters

Why Do We Fight
04:19
|
|||
|
all those little lies i tell you
i guess they don't compare to you
but you don't really care, do you?
why would you?
is loving me too much for you?
you say that that's unfair to you
the way that i just stare at you
i love you. i love you.
fire is still light. i feel it like a knife
i feel my heart beat through the ground
i pretend i'm sleeping when your "i love you" comes around
you're my last glass of wine tonight
i'm praying we get past tonight
just promise me we'll be alright.
why do we fight? why do we fight?
fire is still light. i feel it like a knife
why do we fight? why do we fight?

No More Love
01:58
|
|||
|
no more love.
no more writing about you, no more songs.
no more future i'm afraid of
no more trust
no more love
no goodbye.
no more laughs over wine, no heavy sigh
no more wishing you would kiss me goodnight
no more why
no goodbye
all my friends tried to say it'd end up this way
but i just couldn't get it through my head
people try to chalk it up to just the game
well i played, i won, i lost, i threw your love away
no more love.
no more heartache when you're acting tough
no more rose garden dreams of what we'll become
not enough. no more love.
not enough. no more love. no more love.

Garter Belt
03:05
|
|||
|
maybe i should clean my room
find out where i'm hiding you
in my top drawer with all my winter boots
maybe i should call you back
i bet you're wondering if i will ever take you back
i'm wondering myself if i'll drown in blue
well i ride my bike to forget you, but i know that winter's coming soon
pull up your dress, i wanna see your garter belt
like everything you hide sits right above your thigh
pull up your hood, i wanna see you're someone else
your voice it sounds the same, but there's nothing in your eyes
maybe i should write you off.
i'm dreading seeing you like dreading my clothes off
your mismatched socks never bothered me
but maybes just a word for don't
i'm rejecting you before you're telling me you won't
i build the walls and say i'm free
well i ride my bike to forget you, but i know that winter's coming soon
pull up your dress, i wanna see your garter belt
like everything you hide sits right above your thigh
pull up your hood, i wanna see you're someone else
your voice it sounds the same, but there's nothing in your eyes

Lana del Rey
02:30
|
|||
|
i drew the brokenhearted girl i became. like lana del rey
i am a pit, and good things fall in
to never be seen or heard of again
a legend, an obscurity, a horror scene, and me
i drew blood. and a crooked black fox in ballpoint pen
i drew you too
but i am a pit. and good things fall in
and given the chance, i'd pull you in too
a legend, an obscurity, a horror scene, and me.

I'll Be Better
01:44
|
|||
|
i'll be better
i'll stop calling you at midnight
i'll stop stealing your sweaters
i'll be bigger than i was
and i'll be quiet
but more mysterious than shy,
and lovely.
when you see me you will smile
i'll be better.
i'll start pressing wildflowers in a book i've bound together
i'll be calmer than i was
i'll be broken
but in a way that makes me smarter, and careful
when you see me you will know
i'll be better
i'll be strong enough to keep in touch
i'll write you letters.
i'll start going to the gym
and i'll be lonely
but in a way that's somehow beautiful and funny
when you see me I will smile back

Infinite Everything
03:27
|
|||
|
a year later, a year after, do you have regret?
i wait for these feelings to pass, but they haven't yet
i'm missing home and i see our ghosts
stumbling drunk and strange
standing at the edge of our lives before they changed
i said "we don't have to touch
to know you is enough"
but all our clothes came off
in the end
you don't know how to talk to me
it's infinite everything
and i'm glad it's happening
this hotel room still reminds me of you
so i'll smoke a cigarette
i know i should quit you too, i just haven't yet
i felt afraid and i swallowed my shame
and you disappeared
did i dream the whole thing?
when i said "we don't have to touch
to love you is enough"
but all our clothes came off
in the end
you don't know how to talk to me
it's infinite everything
and i'm glad it's happening
