The Mechanic
03:22
|
|||
i had a motor built by a sensitive guy
with all the parts how i like
even though i move fine
they somehow missed the math
but the mechanic might know that
if you want me you can
come to where i am
if you follow my lead
what do you see?
what do you see?
see there is a system set between us
as i drop some clues in the machine
we’re keeping our hands locked in our own odd kind of pact
we have me, the feeler, and the mechanic
if you want me you can
come to where i am
if you follow my lead
well, what do you see?
you say it isn’t often that you feel like this
but this is no ordinary way
you said it’s like a socket on a stone
but you say, and then you said it again
“hello, there’s no science here now”
that this is feeling and feeling’s hard
so take my hand and run with it
so if you want me you can
come to where i am
and if you follow my lead
what do you see?
and then if you want me you’ll know
to go, go where i go
and when you’re looking at me
well, what do you see?

Two Poets
02:52
|

tally on the back of an old newspaper
i’m marking all the times i tried make us better
two poets in the fog
who never give up
so i make two tears our sheets, one at a time
i wanna be done with the hard love
baby, i’m secure if you give me
what i need gonna pull my way out of this
i dont wanna quit it though we need to step out of it
finding all the ways to move the blame around
if i’m a choreography, i’m moving out of time with you now
we’re two poets in the fog
who never give up
and i drop two tears on our sheets, one at a time
i’m so tired of the tough love
baby, i’m secure if you give me what i need
i wanna pull the weight out of this
i dont wanna quit it
i keep waiting for the time to click
two poets in the fog
we’re two poets in the fog
i don’t care if i’m looking like i’m crazy now
i just wanna be a part of you after all
standing in the clouded room i finally find your hand now
two poets in the fog waiting for the bomb to fall
i don’t care if i fall down fighting for ya
tell me what i want cause no one else can give it to me
tears on the street i wanna pull the weight out of this
two poets in the fog looking for a way to fit

Home
02:37

if you feel a lock on the part that pulls
you through the rooms then
i’ll be the one who will show you around
meet me at the part that feels
cold like a rock
not poetic and soft
like something we earned and forgot
home is where we put things together
it’s where we stop but
i can not believe it’s as simple as this
i tied you to the wood just to watch you
work through something artless and hard
you hadn’t looked small for a while
we’re living in a house that’ll trigger us
we open our hands in the halls
feeling didactic and small
home is where we sleep with each other
it’s just enough
and i cannot believe it’s as simple as this
home is where we put things together
its where we stop
over and again its as simple as this
home is where we sleep with each other
it’s just enough
over and again its as simple as this
home is where we sleep with each other
it’s where we stop

There She Is
03:00

can’t believe i let somebody
just take everything so easily
i don’t do that now
i’m going anywhere but down, down, down, down
i chose you for a while and now i take it back
i keep the parts i like
gonna throw the rest out
we could talk about it but it feels good to move on
there she goes
there she is
the way she knows
when i thought i couldn’t find her
when i thought i’d lost it
there she is
there she is
so now I’ve got to take care of my real life
cause i’m not wasting all my time crying
i write the lines
i wire my mind
i complicated something good but that’s alright
there she goes
there she is
the way she knows
i’ve gotta give it to her
always keep her here
always wins
there she is
and i can’t wait to tell you what’s on my mind
now i’m not wasting all my time fighting
i’m good to be
the one for me
the only one respecting all of my time
assumed i was the one that could have called back
but i can neither want or wish or feel badly
won’t take it on
you know i’ll go down down down down
and the louder i scream
it doesn’t matter
the harder i push back
it doesn’t matter
the deeper the cry you know
it doesn’t matter
it didn’t matter
so i don’t bother
there she goes
there she is
there she is
when i thought i couldn’t find her
when i thought i lost her
there she is
there she is
there she goes
there she is
the way she knows
when i thought i couldn’t find her
when i thought i lost it
there she is
there she is

Haircut
02:22
|

and i won’t deny that i stood there too quiet
just letting the walls fall
i couldn't stop, stop, stop, stop
did i uncover my power?
or did i give myself swiftly to the end of it?
i don't know
but if you think there was a choice, there was not, not, not
you thought i was everything
but i’m not
yet there’s not a day that goes by when i’m not feeling tired
i’m sending out signals to show you that i’m changing
but my messages float over
you don't receive them
did i discover my power?
or did i give myself swiftly to the end of it
there’s a rule
that when you cut off your hair
you let the old things go
you thought i was everything
but i’m not
and there’s not a day that goes by when i don’t feel reminded

Potential Control Freak
02:44
|
|||
ive gotta get to know
the reasons for the things that i do
i keep taking up the line
to stay in touch with you
see i cleared my life
swapped out my key just to keep it on a ring
hanging by my brand new door
picking at my skin
got obsessions for sure
but it feels so human
ooo
ooo
i’ve gotta get to know
the truth to
how do i feel now
and why i can’t let go
when time opens wider
i’ve been feeling like i’m caught in the moment
but the kinds that i’ve scripted and titled
i think i’m building a potential control freak
with pieces to parts i can’t hold on to
if there’s a way to love
you know i’ll dig it up
and i know that i’m a lot
but who else will work this hard?
cause i’ve been feeling like i’m caught in the moment
but they’re all ones i’ve wrangled and tied up
i’m always gonna be a potential control freak
with no one to blame but my own now
but i’ll get it by the weekend
i put my head down
and let the car go
i’ll finish it on time

Permissions
02:51
|

if i say it’s going to be alright
it is
i know it
i’m gonna put down my head
but it won’t be forever
i’m signing over my hand
just to take it back
cause there really is no part of me you want to own
why me, why me, why me?
watch me sit right back
stay here
just staring at the window
no i won’t go
this is what i said
is there a way to care from away
cause if i
stay
stay right here
staring at the window
i’ll never know
i’m signing over my head
you should see me now
moving in that fast car down the road
i’ve got a single,
white
hair
from my head into your mouth
it grows irresponsible and it grows long
sometimes I can hardly feel myself moving around
fumbling towards something that’s new ground
why me, why me, why me? now i sit right back
watching the ways it all can crumble
and i’m counting change with a hand annulled
i’ve gotten old trying to push out all the habits
i’ve grown into something i don’t even know so
this is what i said
this is what i said
i study love like its a motion that’s meant to be filled
i study you and i see so many choices
that i need to find my own permissions
i study love like it’s impossible not to
like it’s a pocket i can put my palm into
and i look at you like you’re someone that’s meant to move me
this is what i said
this is what i said

you got those critical eyes on me
but i’ve gathered my disguise
i’ll show you how i’m gonna run
if you can make me out
i can’t take this out on everyone
if there’s a target ill just get right to it
and i’ll show you how i’m gonna work
to fill in the blind spots
i get what i want
cause i know that i deserve it
oh, i can’t tell if you’re the reason
but i know there’s so much i’m not seeing
now i’m out here
taking every witness
it’s a buffer anyhow
oh, i know that it won’t be easy
i wanna reset
i’ve got a feeling
that i won’t get it
until i find my blindspot
i’ve been living with the signs
but i lived with you longer
so we’re wrapped identically to the secrets
it’s only now that can i see it
got a complicated story
but its all that i’ve got and i know this grip on you
it has got to go
that i have to walk alone
take my time
fill it in
i know that i can see it
oh, i can’t tell if you’re the reason
but i know there’s so much i’m not seeing
now i’m out here thinking that our
love was just a buffer after all
oh, if i sort out all my feelings
i’ll get my reset
i’ve got to get it and
i wont finish before i fill in
my blindspot
walking to the end alone
just so i can see myself
i feel like i coming back into myself every day
take my grip off your hand
just so i can see
its a complicated story
but it’s all i’ve got and i know this grip on you
it has got to go
its got to go
its gotta go
i can see myself
if i take away the story
well, it’s not all that i am
could it mean this is what i’ve been looking for?
it’s got to go
you’ve gotta go

The Road
03:46

if i could take it all on you know
i would
until my back buckles down into the road
laying there flat down
until i know where i wanna go
i took two years to take my body into war
so i could tell you about two things
that no one knows the mess i did
and i’ll never find the right words to tell you
never takes too much to drag you down
what’s there
oh god let someone adore me
just lay there flat down in the road
and i’ve got you on my back
let’s go
i’m an unbelievable non god
i’m golden in what could’ve been so cold
i realize
when no one else is there so you listen
to your own self carved bliss
i trust in some but slowly
i trust those who’ve hurt me
i think it gets me somewhere
i think its good to keep trying
i said someone else could fill my time
and then i worked hard to believe it
why does my mind always betray all ways to function
while i’m away
fully-awake
unconscious and flat-back stuttering
is this the way you picture me
when you’re standing so holy
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
it’s me, the folly, the road
