Pocket full of pills 04:04
lyrics
Pocket full of pills, I got a journal full of ragged ills, and I wake up with headaches every day. Lost my child, bled out of me, the one last chance that I could see how keeping you was somehow second place. You can’t tell me what bothers you, I can’t tell you that bothers me ‘cause privacy’s how I know I’m alive. There’s black under my fingernails from scraping dirt off the swollen tales we tell, it’s all that’s left but our divide. But I’m gonna love you til the day I die, I’m gonna love you til the day I die, I’m gonna love you til the day I die, but I think I’m goin soon. Yeah, I think I’m goin soon. The money’s fine but it’s just a start, he’ll never play the finer part of being when all being’s saving face. I’d kill you and I’d kill myself, the shrillest voices never tell you some day every thing’ll be abrasive. The light that lights your face at night, the silence that kills all that’s right, the weary haven’t time to know their might. The demons they’re all real and I’ll tell everybody here I’ll slit their throats before they catch me and slit mine. But I’m gonna love you til the day I die, I’m gonna love you til the day I die, I’m gonna love you til the day I die, but I think I’m goin soon. Yeah, I think I’m goin soon. But I’m gonna love you til the day I die, I’m gonna love you til the day I die, I’m gonna love you til the day I die, but I think I’m goin soon. Yeah, I think I’m goin soon.

You said it best 05:40
lyrics
You said it best that this wouldn’t last This house is a casket and I’m outta breath The smoke from our fingers dusted the room This silence is soon to make a grave of us To save you from us You said it best, that we’d have to fight Well you’re not gonna like this, we’re not gonna fight Now it’s windy out on this lawn I’m watching you go I’m watching you posture You can be alone Well, I can be alone Your problems are sonnets your promises secrets shame that you waited so long You don’t talk to strangers You think I’m a stranger You think that I’m broken You’re wrong Your words all have sickles you laugh like a pistol you think that I’ll miss this disguise Your kiss was a costume the sheets were a costume Your taillights are our compromise Yeah your taillights are our compromise.

Misread textures 07:13
lyrics
Misread textures, who could make sense erratic gestures So quick on the defense The truth has such specific consequence Well so much for easy happiness So much for easy happiness Remember before this the whole world was baseball bats and battle ships Now we’re grown up, we’re ghostly we ignore our versatility We’re gonna need it now, all our patience we’re gonna need it now, all our patience But it’s not bravery to maintain this oak tree, unwavering And you will go your way and still I, I’ll be just fine today I’ll be just fine today yeah I’ll be just fine For everyone with a beaten heart, for everyone with a beatin heart.

Of course it would rain 02:32
lyrics
Of course it would rain the day that we gathered, the day that we lied about pain. The signs of abuse, a flask in my raincoat and uncomfortable black shoes. Your brother was drunk, the car ride was silent, umbrellas lining the trunk. The leaves on the ground, stabbed by the high heels, stuck to the feet of the crowd. God I’ll sure miss her everyone whispered What a shame, what a shame, what a sight. We don’t know the loneliest wishes but only that some don’t get touched quite enough. So smother me lover, I don’t need another Uncovered night.

Forcing love with candlesticks 06:35
lyrics
Forcing love with candlesticks broken-spigot tears are tricks tired corkscrew then we kiss I knew that new perfume would be the end of this Edifices pressed in silence Precipices blessed with violence Dresses line the windows like a fence Though I don’t blame you, it’s your mess Oh but you know all of that, I’ve seen it change over night, you know, all of that, I’ve seen it change with a knife, you know, all of that, I’ve seen it change, on a flight you’re gone You’re gone. Even in the shadows here Cigarette smoke I see clearly You painted yourself, now you hang Testimony to a bad year Oh but you know all of that, I’ve seen it change over night, you know, all of that, I’ve seen it change with a knife, you know, all of that, I’ve seen it change, on a flight you’re gone You’re gone. You didn’t tell me, you didn’t say that you only love me when you’re away That I was only a tethered comfort till morning came and showed you how mistakes are born And how i was just your empty bottle love Empty bottle love Empty bottle love

Tell you once 04:17
lyrics
Tell you once gonna make you mine love you til the day I die Tell you once gonna make you mine love you til the day I die Tell you once gonna make you mine love you til the day i die gonna love you til the day I die I’ll love you til the day I die I love you all, but I think I’m goin soon. Yeah I think I’m goin soon I think I’m goin soon Yeah I think I’m goin soon.

Rest up 06:37
lyrics
Rest up we gotta go Rest up we gotta go Rest up we gotta go This town is taking lives Wake up we gotta go Wake up we gotta go It’s hasty I should know You’re gonna make this hard Well I’m scared now I gotta go I’m scared you ought to know I’m scared I gotta go You can’t come with me, no Cuz it’s time I paid that toll Yeah it’s time I paid that toll Take every dime I owe And throw them out the window I never got a single wink, I thought about you, I never had a single drink I thought I ought to, I never coulda blinked though I know you needed me to, Well I needed you, too. ... I know my destination’s home I’ve seen my consciousness, it’s shown me I’ll shoulder yours and bury my own Yeah, I’ll shoulder yours and bury my own But I’m never goin back again, Cuz baby we were lightning, it’s timing, it’s gone Baby we were lightning, it’s timing, it’s gone Baby we were, we were, we were, Baby we were.

It's bright outside 00:45
lyrics
It’s bright outside I have to draw the shades I’m tellin lies I won’t be home for days And I’m walking all around this broken town for you It’s bright outside I have to draw the shades I’m spillin tiles I won’t be home for days But I’m walkin all around this broken town for you

Pardon me love 05:07
lyrics
Pardon me Love Pardon me dreadful Got no news today The quiet is mine Your delicate eyeliner needs some place to play You’re right down the road Your voice the moonlight you shine like a secret untold You cry out I love you I lie down above you You fly out so consciously bold November is hard I should know December is gold early snow This weather makes everyone old Together we won’t feel the cold We won’t feel the cold So pardon me love Pardon me dreadful I can’t wait to tell you the news I’m over this illness this pillar the stillness The back door that I wandered through November is hard I should know December is gold early snow This weather makes everyone old Together we won’t feel the cold We won’t feel the cold.
