Eat Ur Heart Out

she’ll eat your heart out
you’ll wonder where it
where it all went wrong
oh where’d it all go wrong?
keep on distracting
yourself from hell
they saw it all along
they saw it all along
he thinks he’s different
he thinks he’s different
thought he was different
thought he was different
i’ll take my chances
i’d like to be the one
that you see all the time
i wanna see you all the time
i can’t feel my feet,
think they fell asleep
from standing in one place
i’ve been standing in one place
i’m thinking different
i’m thinking different now
i’m feeling different
i don’t feel indifferent now
i’m lucky that you don't
care about the same things
other people do,
that other people do
i need to wash my
favorite jacket
but then it won’t smell like you,
no it wouldn’t smell like you
i wish that i could
keep this in a bottle
how come we never feel
the same way twice?
i’ll take my time
you take yours too
cause honey i’m not through
oh honey i’m not through with you
making myself sick
love is disgusting
but maybe not with you,
maybe not with you

Real

looking in the mirror i see
all the things that i could be
if i try to be
and looking out the rear you see
all the things you could have been
if you really wanted them
high inside a dream you feel
all the things you want to feel
i’ll pinch you it’s not real
i hold my breath I need you to come back
such a pretty heart attack
you’re such a pretty heart attack
lying all alone at night
someone tell me how to feel
someone hold me til i’m real
i’m real

Bugs in a Jar
03:50
|
|||
|
the sky paints your face a hundred different colors
but this one is my favorite
when i was a kid i kept bugs in a jar
but they couldn’t breathe and they had to get out
so i let them fly, now i finally share
what i’m thinking about so you know that i care
the other night i saw a shooting star
maybe it wasn’t my first but i didn’t notice before
and maybe i should start wearing my glasses around
so i quit missing out on the things that surround me
when i was a kid i kept bugs in a jar
but they stopped lighting up when they
could have gone far
now i wouldn’t dare keep bugs in a jar
i’ll just watch them with you
while we lie in the dark

Humans
03:37
|
|

|
humans love it when they
hear you say their name
helps us forget that we can
always be replaced
about a week ago i saw it on the news
another story of some typical abuse
and you shed a tear and gently dry your eye
but you’ll forget about it
until another person dies
you ever walk into a room and then forget
what you came for so you turn around and start again
it’s kind of like that in the grand scheme of the universe
we keep on screwing up and dying off until we’ve learned
what do you think happens once we shrivel up and die?
think I’d rather haunt a house than be offered another sorry try

Mariam

mariam pulls my hair
makes me cry at lunch
mom says she wants to be my friend
but I think she hates my guts
mariam chases me
kicks me in the teeth
what did I ever do to her
and how did she get so mean?
mariam ditches school
that's the third all week
maybe she's tired of pulling my hair
and kicking me in the teeth
mariam comes to class
with a big fat bruise
kids say she got in another fight
but Mariam never loses
maybe she's not so mean
maybe she's not so mean
mariam rides the bus
that's the first all week
all of the seats are taken
so i let her sit by me

Hide Inside My Hair
03:28
|
|
||
|
i know it’s not long
before I go home
but they keep looking at me
in my flooded jeans
i’ll just hide inside my hair
i wish the world was a bit more fair
but i’ve got friends and they’ve got me
and pretty soon the bell will ring
we’ll walk home get nice and wet
because it rained
today’s the best
today’s the best
growing up seems far away
far away, far away
falling down doesn’t hurt so bad
when the floor is two feet away
i’ll fall down and maybe cry
but it’s alright cause i can hide
inside my hair until the tears
have emptied from my eyes
i don’t know if growing up
has happened yet, but we’re so tough
we trade our toys for cigarettes
it’s raining out, you’re soaking wet
now we’re old
where can we hide?
we’ve cut our hair to fit the times
i’ve got my friends and they’ve got me
and when we cry the world can see
growing up has not changed much
you’re still the same just kinda tough
now when it rains you go inside
unless there’s tears you wanna hide

Cellar Door

draw the curtain, lock the cellar door
you can’t be certain what goes out and what goes in
what’s on your mind?
delicate and fragile like the vinyl in my bedroom
if you’re good i’ll let you play the one you like
why’d we say those things we didn’t really mean?
why’d you laugh if you don’t really think it’s funny?
i hurt your feelings and i hope you know i’m sorry
doesn’t matter cause she’s leaving in the morning
penny for your thoughts and dear, i swear that i’ll be better
if you share with me, share what’s on your mind
satisfy a craving, i’m earnestly awaiting
did i sing it right,
was i out of key?
why’d we say those things we didn’t really mean?
why’d you laugh if you don’t really think it’s funny?
i hurt your feelings and i hope you know i’m sorry
doesn’t matter cause she’s leaving in the morning
i never wanted this,
i never wanted this to happen
left the keys right where i asked her to,
but took a part of me with
never want to waste your time or
steal away your peace of mind
i never wanted this,
i never wanted this to happen
why’d we say those things we didn’t really mean?
why’d you laugh if you don’t really think it’s funny?
i hurt your feelings and i hope you know i’m sorry
hope to god i see you sleeping in the morning

:P

feeling like a baby
softer than i’m used to
stay here for a long time won’t you?
see me in the fall time
when the leaves are changing
but you know that i will feel the same
running round in circles,
i’m glad you stuck around til
i sorted all my shit out
now I keep the photos we took on my bedside
and think of you every night
if you’re feeling down
or messing up
i’ll be around
to pick you up
feeling like a baby,
softer than i’m used to
stay here for a long time won’t you?
see me in the fall time
i’m glad you stuck around

Ocean

criminal you steal all my sleep
vandalize my every dream
can you see what you’re doing to me,
can you see?
if i press my ear to your chest
would i hear the ocean?
breathe
sold me to the night
skeleton, he hangs in my closet
i hid the keys but why do i bother?
does it make me a fool,
would you make me a fool if you knew?
if i gave you my hand
would I get all that I’m hoping for?
you should know
that I need no one
and i’ll go away if you please
the shadows melt right out of my mind
when i see your face,
it’s been a while
your scent alone could make me cry
i just want to fall asleep with you
if i press my ear to your chest
would i hear the ocean

For You
03:45
|
|

my sweetheart,
i bought you roses
it turns out that you’re allergic
i’ll never buy you things again
you chew me up and spit me out
you turn my spirits inside out
wonder if you ever think of me
probably not but baby i can dream
some things are just too good to be true
so i’ll just wait on the other side of the moon
for you
i go to church but i don’t believe
in heaven if you won’t have me
i close my eyes, i don’t exist
until my name escapes your lips
wonder if you ever think of me
probably not but baby i can dream
some things are just too good to be true
so i’ll just wait on the other side of the moon
for you

Hideous Creature

hideous creature,
it’s nice to meet you
you are not a boy or a girl
they try and fix you,
they tie up your hair
you just let it fall
to the floor
you lost your notebook
you tied up your hair
why’d you let them push you to the floor?
was never an issue
to get them to kiss you
we all ended up missing you
but hideous creature,
i’ll never forget you
you were my favorite friend
so pick up the pieces
we can glue them together
you are still the same as you always were

See You Again
03:42
|
|
||
|
times change, so do i
so do you, there’s no need to cry
you move away and start another life
i’ll see you again, i’m sure of it
said doctor, won’t you fix me?
see I grew up, i lost all my leaves
didn’t look twice before i crossed the street,
got run over by a time machine
didn’t hold my breath as i passed the cemetery
now i’m haunted by your memory
life’s so sour and life’s so sweet
but we’ll be fine, i’m sure of it
we’ll grow old
we’ll lose all our teeth
i’ll see you again, i’m sure of it

Quiver

woke up in the morning
while it was still early
wish i didn’t feel so tired like you warned me
stayed up way past midnight
wondering about you
guess I’ll make some coffee
i don’t feel like i’m supposed to
wish we paid attention
but maybe we’re afraid to
didn’t wanna say this,
i didn’t wanna hurt you
standing all alone now
quieter than ever
think my heart is breaking
i think i saw your lip quiver
woke up in the morning
while it was still early
i wish i didn’t feel so tired like you warned me
