Personality

I wasn’t made for this
Chew on my fingertips
I always had a bad habit of it
Oh but what’s another one?
You don’t say too much
And neither do I so I’ll keep my mouth shut
I guess that’s all for me
Degree in psychology
Now I know I don’t know anything
We’ll spend all our time together
Grow old or kill each other
We’ll never take action
We’ll wait for things to happen
I just don’t know myself anymore
Anymore
I got a personality
Yeah, I took that test for free
Now I know everything
A number or some letters
Whatever looks better
Tell me which is more compatible with yours
And we’ll spend all our time together
Grow old or kill each other
I just need to get outside
Your friends were probably right
I just don’t know myself anymore
We’ll spend all our time together
We’ll surely kill each other
But we’ll go out laughing
Nothing ever happens
I just don’t know anymore
You said we lost it
I’m not sure
(We’ll go out laughing)
I just know anymore
Anymore

Tripwire
02:27
|

Yeah I’ll be fine I’m only tired
Don’t wanna set you off
But I’m tripwire
Placing all your bets on old machinery
Lucky number nineteen again
I hope that all the in-betweens in front of you
Play out like how you want them to
Cause I know you want them too
Elevator schemes
Are you as sweet as you seem?
I’m chewing on another painted pin
I did my best to count you in
I know that I’m the one to blame
Wore us out, don’t spin the same
I’ll just wait here for your call
The thought of us all along
Kept me coming back to you
All I’ll ever wanna do
So i’ll just wait here for your call
How could I have moved on
I care about how you think of me
But do I even want it after all?
(I know you want them too)
After all

Punches

Pelican smile
Won’t you stay awhile?
Sleep with the dogs
I’ll dream in and out
I don’t recall getting a call
Or knowing where you were on saturday night
I never left I just stayed in bed
Cause I didn’t feel like fighting with you
You’d come to town and we’d play nice
Put on our best faces and show everyone
I still recall getting a call
Where neither of us could tell the truth
I eventually left and I went to bed
Cause I didn’t feel like crying with you
What we don’t say piles up everyday
Biting your tongue
it’s out of my hands
We could fix it if we tried
But Is it really right
To waste all the water on old dead plants
Is what you really want to be in love?
Or just someone to talk to when your plane lands
We could fix it if we tried
But is it really right
To waste all the water on old dead plants
And if you can’t take the fall I’ll take all the punches
If you still don’t understand why then use your assumptions
Like you’d do anyway
Now we’re just left with a put in our stomach
You could call it a truce
I’ll leave that up to you
I just hope that you see
That I’m not what you need

Settling
04:10
|
|||
This house is settling
All the doors won’t close
If they did, who knows
I can’t hide from all that we’ve left behind us
Can’t look it in the eyes cause it's staring back at me
Settling
I’m working on forgiving, and forgetting
I just don’t know what comes first
Or what I deserve
I'm tracing new beginnings just to throw them all away
It's not what you said
But the way you did
It's still settling
Sometimes I still think
I know you like I did before
Sometimes I guess the songs that you might like on new records
It's lonely even though we made the right call
And after all
We're still settling
I hope your moms doing better
I never said thank you for that piano
She fucking hates me for that
How strange it felt when we tried to give it back
The ghost in my room, The ghost of you
Look, it's finally settling
I could paint these walls a hundred kinds of green
But I’d still know what's behind them
But a change might be nice
Cause all my blues are gray
That sounds like something that you’d say
Your words will take you anywhere you wanna go
I hope you're never settling
(You come around, I'll get out of town
You were right to paint me out
Paint me out)
(You come around, i’ll get out of town
I guess we’re not so different now
Paint me out)

Red Light
04:42
|
|||
How would you like to
Take a drive with me?
We're both not doing anything
I'll watch as you sing the words
To your favorite songs under your breath
Cause you think you can't sing
You think you can't sing
Our summer ends
When our remember whens run dry
On the way home
I'll hope for every red light
Every red light
I guess this is why I'm scared of getting close
I know when to leave
But I'll never go
This cyclical life of cutting ties with all the
Ones i care about
When they mean everything to me
You mean everything to me
And our summer ends
When our remember whens run dry
I had my chance
But I ran
Every red light
Every red light
We don't talk like we used to
Don't you feel the same?
All those times we spent we're never meant
To be thrown away
I just want to hear about
What you did today
If you change your mind
I'm only
A few red lights
A few red lights away

No Signal
03:55
|
|||
Stay in tonight, stay out of sight
Say all the things that you wanted to say to her
Nervous unsure, you went quiet
A blood moon soaked night
A shot front porch light
No signal on the TV
I don’t know why but that blue
always reminds me of you
I hope I don’t scare you away
I hope I at least have something to say
A coffee stained smile
Won’t you stay awhile
What’s your first memory?
I split my chin on those rocks
and I still have the scar to prove it
A blood moon soaked night
A shot front porch light
No signal on the TV
I don’t know why but that green
Always reminds you of me
A good friend says goodbye
If the world ends tonight
May your particles settle
Down next time
Oh I’d lay here forever
I’d lay here forever

Your wood song is empty
And the trees won’t forget
A modest plenty of bones in my head
I’ll settle down when I’m okay
I’ll wait when I got time
I’ll find my way home through the vines
Through the vine
I’ll lay down at your temple
WHile they throw stones at my walls
If loving you was simple
They’d have broken through by now
I’m an elephant graveyard
And you’re the moon
I’m holding onto your axis, love
Bring me back to you
You’re my Rendezvous
I can’t get enough
I won’t sleep this off for you
Forget any other touch
And I’m coming home
You’re my Rendezvous

You in Yellow
03:06
|
|||
Talking backwards
You’re shouting in your sleep again
So absurd
But you say it with such confidence
Won’t you draw me in gray
Pencil me in
Then try it again with your left hand
You said feeling tired is the same as feeling sad
The bones of both are all we’ve
All we’ve left to hold
It’s you in yellow
You in yellow
Singing with your mouth closed
An educated guess
In your favorite dress
It’ so absurd cause you say it with such confidence
I’ll never know, I’ll never try
I’ll never know, I’ll never try
I’ll never know. I’ll never try
I’ll never know, I’ll never
The bones of both are all we’ll
All we’ll ever know
Cause it’s you in yellow
You in yellow
It’s always you
(What’s that you gotta say? Whatcha wanna do today? What’s that you gotta say?)
It’s always

Heart Attack
04:47
|
|||
With good intention
Lost my religion
Took my prescriptions
Where is my mind?
I took a photograph
To make the moment last
I wish we could go back
Where is the time?
I feel you coming down
I’ll catch your fall
Tell me what happens next
Three kids, a heart attack
I’ll take whatever I can get
Just give me time
I feel you coming down
I’ll catch your fall
I feel you all around
Give me your all
And sometimes when we touch
I can’t even feel your love
I feel you coming down
I caught your fall
I feel you all around
Gave me your all
I feel you coming now
I’ll catch your fall
I felt you all around
Now not at all
Not at all

I remember the first time I saw you
Quiet you kept to yourself
Never thought I’d be one to know you
Never thought you’d be anything else
Now it’s winter and I wanna tell you
All of the things you already know
I don’t know you enough to miss you
But when you’re gone it hurts like hell
And it’s quiet in the city
I’ll follow your lead close behind
You say we’re so small aren’t we
Whatever we are is fine
I love how you always remember
What you wore in every memory we made up together
I’d kill for one more
Cause it's your smell on my shirt that keeps you
Stuck in my head, alone
And each time my breath strays from me
Cause I’ve never seen you in winter clothes
And it’s quiet in the city
I’ll follow your lead close behind
You say we’re so small aren’t we
Whatever we are is fine
And you’re scared of the water
Don’t wanna lose control
But I won’t let you go under
You can stand on a pile of my bones
And stay afloat
I just wanna make you a coffee
And hear what you’re on about
Watch your eyes light up as you tell me
All of the things that freak you out
And I swear I’ve known you forever
It's strange, I think you can tell
A life of before and after
Never want to know anything else

The Inquirer
04:34
|
|||
This town feels like a novel
Did you ever get that tattoo?
Life feels like a movie
That I’m sleeping through
Big lizard in the backseat
Kind of looks like you
I’m the inquirer of the worst best news
You’re the cold I can’t kick
All the sleep that I miss
An aquarium full of every word I let slip
You could write them all down or
Say them aloud
Or use them to start another fire
For the Inquirer
Oh, Charise I wish you saw
the snow last night
Surrounding you in flood lights
I heard there’s better bowling on the west side
That bar was the last place we saw you alive
You’re the cold I can’t kick
All my lost words
An aquarium full of every song you’ve ever heard
You could write them all down or
Sing them aloud
Lift it up then cut the wire
For the Inquirer
The Inquirer
Good morning, I miss you
I won’t start a fight
Good morning, I love you
No I can’t get this write
Good morning, I hate you
But how’d you sleep last night?
Good morning, I missed you
This is what you wanted, right?
