Linger on, but never went These words are love but never sent The message feels so empty now And the meaning is lost on you somehow Oh Your words cut so deep You wake me from my sleep And how you cut me down Who told you this terrible thing About yourself and not to sing We have built these walls too high Look to the sun, and know not why Oh Your words cut so deep You wake me from my sleep And how you cut me down Slice right through her kindness Slice right through their lies No use revisiting yesterday Cause that’s not me, and who’s to say The going rate of a pound of flesh Is a tangle in the fishing nets Oh Your words cut so deep You wake me from my sleep And how you cut me down Time to tell your dirty story Lies as friends are never sorry

Looks Like You Could Use a Rainy Day 03:21

People pay a lot of money See if you believe in yourself Given scraps of your affection I wondered Was I worthy, was I pageant material? Smile at dark clouds forming Washing all these spiders away Only good friends call you reckless Only the reckless most likely survive this A walking bundle of frequencies Trying not to tune the calamity Gentle raindrops fallin’ Looks like, looks like you could use a rainy day? You tore everyone into pieces That’s no way to run a railroad Today is the day I do everything Well, the day I do everything tomorrow Sheets of rainfall coming Washing all these spiders away You keep on seeking silver linings It was promised, it was promised for one day soon Given scraps of your affection I wondered Was I worthy, was I pageant material? Storm clouds, are you coming Looks like you could, looks like you could use a rainy day

Hide It Like a Magic Trick 02:44

There were three cards I was asked where was the queen A crowd gathered round All eyes were on me This is easy, this is easy, this easy they said But I don’t think the crowd knew the metaphor in my head Consciously uncoupling myself from the table My palms sweaty, heart rate up, I tried to stay stable This is easy, just so easy, oh so easy they said The shill and the dealer nodded smiling, I’m dead Can’t you see You’re really confusing me Dunno know which card to pick At a loss for words I can’t find the lady Why’d you have to hide it like, you hide it like a magic trick Buyer’s regret After I picked my own poison A little bad luck To remember me by This is easy, this is easy, this easy they said But someone in the crowd spoke up instead… Can’t you see You’re really confusing me Dunno know which card to pick At a loss for words I can’t find the lady Why’d you have to hide it like, you hide it like a magic trick Houdini opens with film of the contemporary magician Doug Henning performing Metamorphosis, a famous Houdini trick. Mr. Henning’s assistant, wearing handcuffs, gets in a canvas sack. The sack is in a trunk. The trunk is closed and Mr. Henning stands on the lid. Zip, zip, then - Mr. Henning and his assistant magically change places. It is still a wonderful trick. Can’t you see You’re really confusing me Dunno know which card to pick At a loss for words I can’t find the lady Why’d you have to hide it like, you hide it like a magic trick

I flip the tables Set at their feet I fixed the cameras on the pathway underneath Starry skies Where I lie Starry Skies Where I lie Left after sunset And kept beneath The surest cover that the world could offer me A place to sleep On the beach By the by now

Better With You 03:12
lyrics

You didn’t realize just how hand in glove, this was Sat with my anger long enough, found her name was grief She called my mind a machine, so deadly and so dull The barkeep lamented your heartbreak feels so good in here Smile, here you are. Light up this room, with that turn If, burning that bridge ends all this shit, then I’ll be your arsonist, baby Yesterday so heavy, so just put that down Trying to convince you, life is better with you I think we all need a heavy pour, with no words Sleeping in the cinema wishing we were here for good Smile, here you are. Light up this room, with that turn If, burning that bridge ends all this shit, then I’ll be your arsonist, baby Yesterday so heavy, so just put that down Trying to convince you, life is better with you

Starfield 02:50

It all came down with a clatter and we sighed Unpacking this suitcase of confusion He stared at the light in his life and he downright refused, to avert his gaze The day I lost you, and now I see you everywhere, and forever If you’re lost you might find me in the starfield One day our stars will make up the same constellation What if we kissed just once so quietly Hiding in the basket of the hot air balloon She leaned on the balcony railing, holding the universe, together Someone watching pornography of our pain, areas we don’t wanna dwell If you’re lost you might find me in the starfield One day our stars will make up the same constellation It all came down with a clatter and we sighed Unpacking this suitcase of confusion He stared at the light in his life and he downright refused, to avert his gaze If you’re lost you might find me in the starfield One day our stars will make up the same constellation

Who Told You I Wanted You To Be Honest? 02:32

Dorothy regaled confusing the actors with stories about her silent films Denied the lead, a letter from the director she found quite curt Agents won’t return her calls, studio won’t talk at all This grand dame feels forgot After all the casting calls and the directors were dying to meet you Who told you I wanted your honesty? Lie to me, you sweet little thing, I promise to always believe in you Who told you to be so honest with me? Her agent is on the phone, stunned when she says I’ve got a strange love of hanging on Hollywood is moving on, they left Dorothy long ago, the silence still hurts Make up is calling her, wardrobe wants their dress back, stat Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgot After all the casting calls and the directors were dying to meet you Who told you I wanted your honesty? Lie to me, you sweet little thing, I promise to always believe in you Who told you to be so honest with me?

No Once Cares About Your Skin Care Routine (feat. A Halo Called Fred) 02:23
lyrics

Hey guys it's your boy Tiny Everyone has asking me about my skin care routine And I'm going to break it all down for you No one cares about your skin care routine No one cares about your skin care routine Lest it warps your flesh and turns you slimy and green Then no one cares Ok guys, I'm going to break it down for you So you can understand just how simple it is First you take a simple astringent What about how simple is that? No one cares about your skin care routine No one cares about your skin care routine Are you tripping on methylene dioxyamphetamine? Cause no one cares You know what, there was exactly one time I cared about skin care And that was when I met my friend the mad scientist Who had discovered the secret to time travel And decided to make a skin cream that sent your skin back in time To make you younger He didn't really think it through that well though Because like when he put it on himself his to test it It sent his own skin back in time while his body stayed in the present And it just like ripped the skin from his body exposing bare muscles everywhere Ouch Yeah he really didn't understand time travel And you really don't understand skin care, now you take this organic Seriously? No one cares about your skin care routine No one cares about your skin care routine You talk but I don't even process what the words mean Cause no one cares No one cares No one cares So what if your friend tried an exfoliant underneath the time traveling cream I have this stuff that I am obsessed with it's organic, fair trade What?

For most of us Life happens Between off-white walls Flowers Are only flowers Known by those in the know You come, and you go Still you chase her Oh, Lilly you would never ever ever know Anger If we lose our anger We would be humbled by the void The Clock ticks And so you came The second hand flashes past our shame End of the century And so you came Something colder than cold and oh so plain You come, and you go Still you chase her Oh, Lilly you would never ever ever know You come, and you go Still you chase her Oh, Lilly you would never ever ever know

Oh, you tell me that you think I’m too smart Always guided by my brains not my heart You say that makes me emotionally stunted And I only show affection when my senses are blunted This is a ride but it ain’t no pleasure cruise We bought a ticket and we still pay our dues We struggle by the best way that we can And then we close our eyes tightly when the shit hits the fan I’m putting my best foot forward I ain’t holding anything back So why don’cha take your best shot, baby? Cos I’m ready for the next attack It’s hard to put it in a way that ain’t crude But every single day we’re all getting screwed So buckle up and hold your best people near And keep the alcohol flowing to maintain the good cheer What you want you never will get What you want you never will get What you want you never will get What you want you never will get It’s hard to put it in a way that ain’t crude But every single day we’re all getting screwed So buckle up and hold your best people near And keep the alcohol flowing to maintain the good cheer I’m putting my best foot forward I ain’t holding anything back So why don’cha take your best shot, baby? Cos I’m ready for the next attack
