Tiger Balm

I’m always more beautiful two months ago
So I’ll take the mirrors out of my house
But then I’d still have all the windows
I couldn’t help but look, tell me what that’s about
I don’t have any inspiration
I only see an outline of some flesh
I guess now I think in animation
A voice actor
A cartoon of what’s left
Oh I’m not afraid
I want to go back where I came from
So I could be the first to see it thru the eyes of someone
Who’s learned to love someone
I have this dream
Where I’m being chased but my legs go numb
When I wake up
I’m going to rub my joints with tiger balm

Pigeons

Pigeons fly around and they flock on the rooftop
Where the fake snakes try to scare them away
They don’t give a hoot
They just nod their heads and they
Even look kind of cute from where I lay
But god doesn’t like them like I like them
Maybe one will die tomorrow or tonight
And I couldn’t notice if I tried
I couldn’t
At night
Near my house
There’s no one around
When the train passes I feel like I’m living
In a toy town
Toy town
And god doesn’t like me like I like me
Maybe I will die tomorrow or today
And I’m trying to make that feel ok
I’m trying to make that feel ok
I'm trying make that feel ok
It doesn’t

Juniper
01:40

All the feelings of an empty room
All balled up and put inside you
Yours is the place they live
When nothing's
Around them
Around them
All the options that you’ve got to choose
It seems to me you should pick you
After all
There’s no one here
Believing
Believing
Believing in
All the dead rats on the way home
Ooooooh
Watch the juniper as it grows
All the things you’ve ever said
Kind of morph inside my head
And it’s like I understand
Everything, finally, finally
Like
All the dead rats on the way home
Ooooooh
Watch the juniper as it grows
Ooooh oh oh ooooh oh oh etc…

I'll Never Find Out
05:23
|

Are you growing your hair out
Like you always said you would?
Did you drop out and move to Vermont
Like we always thought you should?
Are your limbs still reaching
Further than I ever could?
Well there are some things
I won’t ever find out
And what are you up to?
Did you ever get that tattoo
Of the words to that awful song?
And are you still worried?
Yeah are you still hiding?
Did your parents ever catch on?
Well
There are some things that I'm never gonna find out
There are some things that I'm never gonna find out
Do you think about me
Sort of reflexively?
Sort of like how I twist
Right to crack my back?
Do you think about me
Sort of reflexively?
Sort of like how I put
my hair behind my ears?
Hair behind my eaaaaaaaars
Well
There are some things that I'm never gonna find out
There are some things that I'm never gonna find out

Friendly Fire
02:59

Another day in a hole
With all the shit that stresses you out
But all the hawks in Baltimore
Couldn’t drag you out of your house
When the new day dawns
You'll be laying down your arms
Saying "this is the way that I go.
Setting fire to the thing that I learned before"
I could be the same way if I wanted to
Having everyone in the world catering to you
Must feel pretty nice
I might give it a try
Another day in hell
Well they say that chaos sells
And there’s a bad taste in your mouth
From all the blood you’ve been swallowing down
Oh my skin is crawling from the heat outside
Oh you’ve been recalling all you want to hide
But just can’t keep to yourself
Put it on somebody else
Friendly fire
Friendly fire

The Heat
02:59
|
|||
|
I was still cool alone
Strange and dulcet tones
I could've stayed like that
But who would've wanted it
Now I need people
Wrapped around me
Hold me down
My heavy body
Couldn't you please?
Draw that water
Lower me in
Damn it's freezing
This spring season
Wouldn't you say?
Forbidden offerings
Torn apart limb from limb
I lie
wide open
And it's your song
I sing so proudly
I just wanna dance with somebody
Somebody who loves me
I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

A Dog Who Barks
04:59
|
|||
|
That summer was pink and raw
Peel my skin off on the kitchen floor
The cell phone is a dangerous thing
If I pick it up every time it rings oh
Our fridge stacked to the brim
An extra push to keep it all in
Once there was starving and staying hungry
Now I just remember...
Learn to ignore a dog who barks at nothing
Someday I will learn to behave
Learn to lock the door on your way out
You never know who might make it in some day
I'm still the same person who believed in me
Back when I believed
I picked up something strange
Heard you flinch when you said my name
How come no one in this house
Will give me
An easy out?
So what if I scream and cry?
I would pluck out my own eyes
Just so you couldn't pry
Just so you couldn't look at them
Is everything to be felt an overreaction?
Learn to ignore a dog who barks at nothing
Someday I will learn how to behave
Learn to lock your upset in a locket
You never know what might let it out someday
I wanna be convenient and easily digestible
I wanna be convenient and easily digestible
I wanna be convenient and easily digestible
Maybe all of this was an overreaction
Maybe that's what I wanted it to be
I won't ever have a pleasant interaction
I don't want to be easy
What good am I easy?
What use am I easy?

Drunk Driving
04:19
|

|
I saw the devil at the end of the road
On a night you were drunk driving us home
He looked something like a telephone pole
I just couldn't wrap my head around
He told me to keep my head down
If I recall any emotion at all
I guess I felt tired then
And I always wanted to watch you fall
But somehow you made it out unscathed
If the world really had it out for you
You should have caved
You cut off a cop while you were falling asleep
He drove away after he looked at me
Yeah he let you off easy
You thought you were lucky then
But I saw your face thru blurry eyes
For what felt like the millionth time
When I think about wanting to die
I still see you there
Cursing how life's not fair
And not that you really care
But somehow I made it out OK
If I really had it out for you
I would have caved, caved
hmm
