Honey,
the pain keeps hurting less
theres a bird in my chest
thats not easy
to rest or let out
I want your heart
on my chest
I haven't seen loneliness
in your eyes
in your eyes
Honey
Theres a bird in my chest
thats not easy to rest
or let out
I want your heart
on my chest
I have seen loneliness in your eyes
in your eyes

Go Away
01:37
|

I took to trees
I took to almonds
to walnuts
stick to the breeze
and the summer
will find us
underneath the underpass
and ripeness
teenage sweat is
coming to end this
I'm nineteen and I dont feel finer
sit in your luxury and
whine and whine more
when I was 17 I was great
I told those fuckers to get out my face
and oh lord wont you grant me the strength
to take everything with a grain
when I was 17 I was great
I told those fuckers to go away
go away

Marcus in the Bathroom
02:28
|

when I walk around
if its dark outside
I have to go by twos
to make it hard for you
keep myself on private
long skirts and closed eyelids
it was she was wearing
cover up just to make you feel human
dont you think that thats fucked up?
do you think at all?
what ever is convenient for you
women shouldn't do
well, Janet walks around
with her eyelids blue,
Dan does it too
but only at his favorite night club
don't set your drinks down kids
you never know what a friend might do
I was crying, didn't you hear me crying?
Karen walks around with a cigarette
Marcus in the bathroom trying to forget it
I have vomit in my hair
and I don't think I'd like to be with you

Toward the Sea
01:55
|
|||
Its getting dark out
and theres a light
that I'd like to see
Its getting dark out
and I'd rather not just walk with me
feels as if I'm walkin'
on my knees
This little light
will follow me
out past the back door
and towards the sea
I hear 'em calling me
sometimes I hear 'em calling me

One After the Other
02:06
|
|||
I take what life has given me
and I crush it in the palm of my hand
lets one up for one another
a brain is a computer that can talk back
I've got them scratching their heads
one after the other till their dead
and I'm so fucking stubborn
I hurt like a bad bad sun burn
I'll leave your bruises red
can't tell me women weren't hunters
can't sell me your white washed suburb
I see them shaking their heads
I've got them scratching their heads
one after the other till their dead

Ferguson
02:59
|
|||
and I saw it from
my mobile device
kids passing back and forth
the word of genocide
one fist or two hands
in the air
to make it clear
that this is the peaceful fight
oh miss America
you aint so clean
with the blood of your people
on the streets
no amount of tear gas could make a mother cry
the way a bullet can take away a childs life
and they wont show it on the tv screen
to America black isn't pristine
oh miss America
you aint so clean
with the blood of your people
on the streets
whos blood is on the streets?
riot riot
protest protest

Not Angry Like Me
02:17
|
|||
I killed a little bit of myself today
I killed a little bit of myself today
But thats okay,
because I wasn't okay
with myself
I think my mom was eighteen today
and I started to cry
it is past the due date
I'd be holding it now
asking why why why?
I killed a little bit of myself today
I killed a little bit of myself today
But thats okay,
because I wasn't okay
with myself
I didn't want her to be angry like me

Not Just Somebodies
02:22
|
|||
Where were my friends
when i needed to be told
I was right for getting angry
Fuck all the boys who put me down
when I was trying to be
a human being not just somebodies
Don't let anyone tell you
you cant be angry at the
ones who've hurt you
Fuck all the boys who put me down
when I was trying to be
a human being not just somebodies

Quick Sand Feels Good
02:52
|
|||
Oh my dear
you could pass through
my glass wall
when we feel
it is nothing at all
does it feel
like the ocean
or the sun?
do you want to run?
Well I can't feel my arms in the daylight
and you're hands are like quicksand
does it feel right?
when your body kicks the lid off
have to cool off like ice
Hold me close
sing your sad song
of desire
your legs all shakey
and your sweats on fire
Well I can't feel my arms in the daylight
and you're hands are like quicksand
does it feel right?
when your body kicks the lid off
have to cool off like ice
