Lindsey 04:17
I can see the water from my house I’ll put you up, Lindsey I’ll put you up, for free I could win your bread, if you let me You let me win You let me in, Lindsey I will have you longing for heirs I will have you longing for heirs I will have you longing In a home and garden Can’t you see the bridal suites? The water, the water Don’t you dream of you and me A daughter, a son Lindsey, Lindsey, be mine Lindsey, Lindsey, be mine Lindsey, Lindsey, be mine Lindsey, Lindsey, be mine Lindsey, Lindsey I will make a chain, a precious link I’ll have you yet, Lindsey You’ll be my pet, Lindsey

Tell me all the parts I conquered first Cause I know your kind, you’re a bad, bad girl My very own you Show me every inch they couldn’t reach I will bring and claim bricks to build my place My very own you Tell me who Who, who? Tell me who Who? My very own you My very own you

Dark Matter 03:30
Something dark, something dense Rushed its way in, into our home Into our home, our home These are good people, these are good When the youngest flat on her back Fascinated by the infinite, finally goes Finally goes, go Thought of you when we took all her things, off of the shelves Neat into piles to take away, out into cars, out of the house And how the floodlights came and went, how the floodlights came and went As we went in, as we went out How we come in, how we come out How we are with, how we’re without How we both loved, how we don’t now How we come in, how we come out

For the love of God, someone get this girl to shut up Or else I’m leaving, I swear I’m leaving Oh don’t you want me to stay Like a summer dress on a wire hanger I can not get off when you're always trying to talk I lose the feeling, I'm lost Oh, I know you’ll beg me to change Like a storm curls across the bay Eat the kids in love (I know you're tired, but I think we need to figure this out)

New England fall in the family classic car We went on a holiday drive Parked at the beach picking shells and stones to bring Things to line on your selves And what we saw isn’t far behind me But water flows fresh to brackish then to salt into seas New York parades, first Cold Spring, then Macy's Day Giving road head on the turnpike And I called it off when I saw what I’d become I was holes and shape And what we saw isn’t far behind me But water flows fresh to brackish then to salt into seas Well I watched them fold her up in deli paper I called you out On the threshold of a human heart You watched me fall apart I know better, and you know But all I see still is your mouth Packed with hooks to cut and rip me out Just one more time I know better and you know But all I see still is your mouth, your mouth, your mouth
6.
Tell me do you like to give or receive Or do you like it better on hands and knees And can you hear them losing and win From the schoolyards by our house with all the windows left open Try to not see your failures ascending Waitressing is a temporary thing I wonder when the summer comes And I still want to drive to your parent’s house If you'll live somewhere else I can hear them losing and win Hood tween girls outside our house Ripping her hair out for entertainment Try to not see your failures ascending You'll perfect the art of losing Oh what if when the summer it comes And I still want to drive to your parent’s house But you live somewhere else We're getting there, home Eugene, housed the days of truancy 10,000 nervous breakdowns that drew me to the east A home, a home I came running to the warehouse kids that feared a boomerang home Staring out at the backyard, wire and leaves interlocking

Settlers 03:28
I’ve been finding little hairs, little teeth and little But no is no is no We serve our time with hands between and hands within But no is no is no So we cast up a spell A dry spell To replace the violent streak In you, in me Oh my god it's fucking sick the stockholm grip you've got on me I'd settle to know that you're alive Do you still fever? Are you temperate? Does your heart still beat in time?

Tokyo Drift 03:24
Oh how black the pavement is In all the neighborhoods there are left to live Glaring lapses there have passed The windows closed to the drafts and the vessels were snatched Our bodies jointed and julienned in the sun Clean shaven and pressed down to pleading pulp Inside out now the clotheslines strum dumbly on Strung up absences pinned up like warnings of On a tarpaulin in the weeds They lay me down slow and so easy And hum your hurting days are through Even as I’m begging still to follow
9.
In the cold, hard light of dawn are you happy with what you’ve become Indoors, from room to room, are you guiltless And the tears they came and went, when we came through, came, and went While in my hair you made a fist, I was guiltless But we were good when we were good We were good when we were good Through the woodsmoke in Hancock New York played a kid's game turned a baring of scars Outdoors from kid to kid, psychic lesions And the beers they came and went, exposing the pornographic larks of our past Filling the spaces we'd all chased to forget, I find peace in this Oh we were good when we were good Oh but now we are not good, now we are not good And never have I ever
