Contingency Plan
03:02
|
|

If every little thing works out
I bet I’ll be fine
If no one changes my plan
I bet I’ll be alright
‘Cause I’ve got no contingency plan
Nothin in the works
No fallbacks for fallouts
I’ll be down in the dirt
I guess that’s not the best way to live
But I guess it’s the way that I live
They say it takes two to tango
Only one to rock the boat
Are we dancing or sinking
Somehow I never seem to know
She said we can’t be sure
Isn’t that so exciting
I said heart attacks are plenty exciting too
But I won’t be inviting them to the party
Cause I guess that’s not the best way to live
But I guess it’s the way I live
I always seem to way this bulletproof vest
Lock all my doors, act so stressed
I guess the blues ain’t what they used to be
Everybody here please look at me
I never really seem to get old
With my baby smooth skin
and acting all cold
I guess I should really learn from this
I guess it’s not the best way to live
I guess it’s the way that I live
I should really learn from my shit
But I guess this is the way that I live
I guess it’s not the best way to live
I guess it’s the way that I live

Tuesday
03:17

Cover me in colors til they soak through my bones
There’s a wondersome amount of me yet to be known
Fashionable infatuation keeps me by the phone
They say it won’t feel right until my cover gets blown
I want a Tuesday to feel good
Without a couple beers, hallelujah
I want a routine routinely enforced
By none other than my great fears
Pockets full of intuition say leave me alone
Confidential confidant as true as rhinestones
Too long in the tooth for you to atone
Get yourself some green eyes to finally feel grown
I want a Tuesday to feel good
Without a couple beers, hallelujah
I want a routine routinely enforced
By none other than my great fears
I want a Tuesday to feel alright
I want a new year, I want a good night
I want you to want to be fine because
I need someone like that in my life
I want new shoes for the end of world
I want a city to myself for the end of the world…
I want a Tuesday to feel alright
I want a new year, I want a good night
I want you to want to be fine because
I need someone like that in my life…

Automated
Every single way
Every single day
I pray for a new wave
Something to roll me over
Throw my face into the sand
So I can start feelin again
Tell me a lie
Get me stupid high
Push me around
Make me breakdown
Am I the way I am?
Or am I still me?

Capsize
03:27

|

i swear to god
i’ll capsize this thing
make another sound
and i’ll let it sink
don’t go thinking
that i’m a better than that
cause when I get hit
i’m not afraid to hit back
and i know that makes me a weak man
believe me, this isn’t what i planned
maybe i’m not as good as i thought i was
maybe i do the things that the villain does
maybe i need more time to adjust
maybe it’s all a bust
i’m sorry i rain checked
two nights in a row;
for all the missed calls and texts
i’m the worst i know
i feel like shit for this awful,
vengeful streak
i never really learned
how to turn my cheek
and i know that makes me a weak man
believe me, this isn’t what i planned
maybe i’m not as good as i thought i was
maybe i do the things that the villain does
maybe i need more time to adjust
maybe it’s all a bust
maybe all my good deeds are in self interest
maybe i should’ve hit you up a bit more
i always end up playing mind games
to keep you needing me i’m keeping score
maybe i’m not as good as i thought i was
maybe i do the things that the villain does
maybe i need more time to adjust
maybe it’s all a bust
maybe it’s all a bust

Good Guy

you don’t like the way i drive
say i’m gonna get in a wreck
i dont think that you’re wrong
its just that i’ll die if you're correct
i dont wanna know
just how right you are
about everything you make fun of me for
about all my stupid scars
i wanna be the good guy
i don’t wanna die
i wanna be the good guy
some things happen
some things don't
i don’t like the way i freak out
every time i try to explain myself
like the shade of green
i see in the trees
& how the light catches on it
& how that helps me breath
i wanna be the good guy
i don’t wanna die
i wanna be the good guy
some things happen
some things don't

Don’t make something of this ‘cause it’s nothing at all

Don’t make something of this ‘cause it’s nothing at all
Don’t make something of this ‘cause it’s nothing at all

New Hampshire
03:12

Get yourself some green eyes, explore what you need
Tell me all of your impossibilities
Ride the wave all the way up to New Hampshire
See what happens when you come undone, don’t answer
If it’s alright with you
I think I’ll do
Just about anything else
If it’s alright with you
I’ll see this through
Might take some time for myself
Get yourself a dream son, run it down
Call it revelry when the phone rings and it’s not doubt
It’ll all turn gold and green just
Let me figure this out
Syncopated sounds jubilee I can hear it now
If it’s alright with me
I think I’ll be
Just about anyone else
If it’s alright with me
I’ll take the front seat
Try to be alone with myself
Gonna be who I want
Gonna be who I want..
I’m gonna learn to be myself
I’m gonna move anywhere I need to
I’m gonna learn to be myself
I’m gonna learn to be myself
I’m gonna move anywhere I need to
I’m gonna learn to be myself
I’m gonna learn to be myself
I’m gonna move anywhere I need to
I’m gonna learn to be myself
Gonna be who I want
Gonna be who I want…

Swordfish
04:11
|
|||
Ashes in my hair, I want to fall in
I just need a pinch, Acetaminophen
I spend my whole day in wait, of one or two big moments
Offen it’s the rain, a sea to swallow in
You’ll get yours, I’ll make do
You’re a fucking swordfish, andI’m a lazy catcher
You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher
The water is deeper than it seems to be
Blue eyes glass over and over and over
You’re a fucking swordfish, I’m a lazy catcher
Outside in the thick, it’s starting to move
Past the point of meaning, with dissonance to prove
Aging is the only way to calcify conclusion
To be alone
To watch it go
I’ll get mine, you’ll get through
You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher
You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher
The water is deeper than it seems to be
Blue eyes glass over and over and over
You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher
You’ll get yours, I’ll get home fine
I’m the morning, I’ll be true
I don’t want to build this thing up just to see it come down
There are answers but they won’t keep me around
I have nothing but a fear of death to shake
A broken conscience, and a need to be awake
You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher
You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher
The water is deeper than it seems to be
Blue eyes glassed over and over and over
You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher
Held in the undertow
I begin to feel alone
Swordfish, I cut to bone
This is a part of letting go
The water gets deeper and I’ve yet to see
Blue eyes glass over and over and over
Held in the undertow
I will start to let it go

Untitled (Call Me)
04:01
|
|||
Call me drunk and hallelujah in the same breath
Vowels moving over and over me
I’m a mouth full of nouns and other swears
Vowels moving over and over me
I’ve gone and forgotten what you’re starting to say
Vowels moving over and over me
Vowels moving over and over me
Why do you care if I forget my name
It doesn’t mean anything anyway
Tattoo your name on my phone
Vowels moving over and over it
Throw my name from your throat
Add the vowels you think I need
I’m so caught up in the words over my head
I’m over it I’m over it I’m over it
Why do you care if I forget my name
It doesn’t mean anything anyway
What’s he called she said
Call me by my body
What’s he called she said
I don’t want a name
What’s he called she said
Call me by my body
What’s he called she said
I don’t want a name
What’s he called she said
Call me by my body
What’s he called she said
I don’t want a name

Tape Deck
02:36
|

We caught up at a stoplight
‘Cause we’re brittle in the sunlight
I’m outweighed by my own body
My mind is heavy thinking of yours
This year is gonna carve me out
A pastel yellow hole
Try to fill it back in
With chipped teeth still stained wine red
My throat is like a tape deck
Rewinding your name
It sounds a little fucked up
Cause it’s playing in reverse
Skin tones in the lamplight
Mixed up behind my eyes
Spit love at me through chipped teeth
Lie if you don’t mind
My throat is like a tape deck
Rewinding your name
It sounds a little fucked up
Cause it’s playing in reverse
My throat is like a tape deck
Rewinding your name
It sounds a little fucked up
Cause it’s playing in reverse

time to go home
two a.m.
the bars all closed
i dont wanna walk
i dont wanna ride
i just wanna be back inside
eight in the morning

next door
they're using jack hammers
i’m sure

in the same room as me
time to go home
ten p.m.
can't find my keys
i dont wanna talk
i dont wanna ride
i just wanna be back inside
time to go home
ten p.m.
can’t find my keys
