That's What Love Songs Often Do -
Fig Dish
Bury Me
love can't settle down
still you're spinning round
gonna fall off the world any day
still when you make a sound
like a spill when you hit the ground
bury me up to my waist
carry me back to my...

so far as I can tell feels like cathedral bells
that I found in the mess that you made
you walked into the room
got blinded by all the gloom
and a smile that's still broke at your face
you said let's get out of this place

when you stand in shit, when you stand
when you land on your feet
it's cold I feel old and you're giving me more than I need

love can't settle down
still you're spinning round
gonna fall off the world any day
still when you make a sound
like a spill when you hit the ground
bury me up to my waist
you said let's get out of this place

when you stand in shit, when you stand
when you land on your feet
it's cold I feel old and you're giving me more than I need
more than I need

wanna be with you
with you, with you

Weak and Mean
I can't pretend that this sounds good to me
don't listen to me I get weak and mean
on the inside, on the inside weak and mean, on the inside

never know what you feel I could only guess
just as easily I could, don't forget
no longer away
can't break you from my mind, these favorite things
do I torture you like you do me?
on the outside, on the outside, I get green
on the outside, on the outside

never know what you feel I could only guess
just as easily I could, don't forget
no longer away, no longer away

the finest point to you, can't kill the rest
don't pin this on me, I'm not at my best

on the inside, on the inside, weak and mean, on the inside
no longer away
on the inside, on the inside (no longer away)

Seeds
I can see it now, you're gonna spiral down
I'd like to shake this feeling but it sticks somehow
can you wipe it off like a cold breath smear?
and like the stinkin' summer, you can disappear

you're still around, can't you swallow it down?
well I'm so...unsound, can't you figure it out?
well I know that you're only gonna find it's no big deal
kills me just to think that you're for real
you're only one crack on the back of the last page
and I'm nothing, too

all your twisted thoughts are falling at your feet
your mind is gristle and you can't speak
I can wipe you off like a cold breath smear
and like the stinkin' summer, you'd disappear

you're still around, can't you swallow it down?
well I'm so...unsound, can't you figure it out?
well I know that you're only gonna find it's no big deal
kills me just to think that you're for real
you're only one crack on the back of the last page
and I'm nothing, too

the seeds in the brain, seeds in the brain

you're still around, can't you swallow it down?
well I'm so...unsound, can't you figure it out?
well I know that you're only gonna find it's no big deal
kills me just to think that you're for real
you're only one crack on the back of the last page

you're still around, can't you swallow it down?
well I'm so...unsound, can't you figure it out?
well I know that you're only gonna find it's no big deal
kills me just to think that you're for real
you're only one crack on the back of the last page
and I'm nothing, too

Chew Toy
will you please relax?
I try to get obsessed, but I can't even get upset
we feed the largest ones first
wild-eyed till they burst

I feel the pause before the fact
suggest we hand it down, but you insist we give it back

I feel the dawn, I feel the rut
you'll save me if I get in but-
I fear you'll give me what you've got
I feel the dawn, I fear the rush

ability to distract
something I never had, something you'll never lack
we see the largest ones first
wild-eyed till they burst

I feel the pause before the fact
suggest we hand it down, but you insist we give it back
full canned in two, canned in two

I feel the dawn, I feel the rut
you'll save me if I get in but-
I fear you'll give me what you've got
I feel the dawn, I fear the rush

will you please relax?

I feel the dawn, I feel the rut
you'll save me if I get in but-
you fail to give me what you've got
I feel the dawn, I fear the rush

Nimble
you say I'm dumb and doing me wrong
you say I'm right for playing along
it seems to others to me and it is, it is

I sit inside and I'm saving it all
a simple word, not saving me at all
I sit inside, not saving me at all

I see them turning inside themselves
I see them turning away
terrified just to face themselves
I feel them run off

everything creating your fear
seems to vanish and surface near
wave it off and it comes in clear, not here
dig your nails in and drag

I see them turning inside themselves
I see them turning away
terrified just to face themselves
I feel them run off

you say I'm dumb and doing me wrong
you say I'm right for playing along
it seems to others to me and it is
a simple word, not saving me at all
I sit inside, not saving me at all

see them turning inside themselves
I see them running away
terrified just to face themselves
I feel them run off

see them turning inside themselves
I see them turning away
terrified just to face themselves
I feel them run off

Wrong Nothing
and it causes wear right through my eyes
another chance I've grown to realize
something's wrong, there's nothing wrong,
nothing wrong at all,
we have to make our problems up as we go along

I drew on you, I drew on you too...
I drew on you, I drew on you too long, too long

I smell the rain as it beats down upon the summer stone
settles on the dots, now we're not alone
there's something wrong, there's nothing wrong,
nothing wrong at all,
we have to make our problems up as we go along

I drew on you, I drew on you too...
I drew on you, I drew on you too long, too long,
too long, too long

Quiet Storm King
bored of you and everything you've done
maybe that's not true before
now but it's for
now all you to be exactly what I need
to be amazed what I believe, what I believe

do it yourself till someone else arrives
disappointment hurts you
now you know why not to try
can make you feel so small and real pissed at yourself
for being for real

and I believe that we'll last a long time
ever after till we both wish we were gone

did you know that you'd be gone so long?
glorious has spun the web for weakening I've become
to be exactly what I need
to be amazed what I believe

and I believe that we'll last a long time
ever after till we both wish we were gone

there's no place that I'd rather be than nowhere
quiet storm king you will soon be on your own

and I'm afraid that we'll last a long time
ever after till we both wish we were gone
we sit still while it comes so it comes too slow
quiet storm king you will soon be on your own

there's no place that I'd rather be than nowhere
there's no place that can hurt you like your home
ever after till we both wish we were somewhere
quiet storm king you will soon be on your own

Going Gone
got you to mind now what to will with it
given any time, given any time
this situation will not work itself out,
no amount of time, no amount of time

going, no we're going fast
put in the brakes and you should ask him
if nothing you can say will mean a thing
simple faith in words is no good
details get misunderstood
leave me with a good idea to see

come turn me senseless
he'll know what you want
not another thing, never anything

us powerless there are no whims no more
nothing in the way, nothing in the way

going, no we're going fast
put in the brakes and you should ask him
if nothing you can say will mean a thing
simple faith in words is no good
details get misunderstood
leave me with a good idea

your words are in your mouth you choke on them
scatter them around, scatter them around
your best foot forward and you trip on it

going, no we're going fast
put in the brakes and you should ask him
if nothing you can say will mean a thing
simple faith in words is no good
details get misunderstood
leave me with a good idea to see

going, going gone

the murderer has to sit by his brood
you need her and she needs you

Lemonader
I used to be entrenched in myself
but you bring it all, bring it all out
you could care less if I fell
and I think you might when you come down
I could drown in all the reasons
already down before I was sinking

there's nothing left, I let out everything
I feel the rashes in my gun
and the night sustains
in the morning can clean up

if you can't get yourself together
I'll watch the wind sweep up the dust
you're right the only thing that's keeping up
but it's already lost

I used to be entrenched in myself
but you bring it all, bring it all out
you could care less if I fell
and I think you might when you come down
I could drown in all the reasons
I was already down before I was sinking

Rollover, Please
can we not talk about it
can we get back to bed
goddamn those ideas in your head
who says it has to happen
I'll see it over just as much
can we make all the rules for once

don't talk to me now
it'll be all right now
please rollover
yeah it'll be okay,
okay, okay, okay,

looks like you got your demons
looks like your head's a mess
break down, yeah do what you do best

clock radio's green on your face
and light don't cross the wall
three hours isn't sleep at all

don't talk to me now
it'll be all right now
please rollover
yeah it'll be okay,
okay, okay, okay,

ohh, whoa...

don't talk to me now
it'll be all right now
please rollover
yeah it'll be okay
don't talk to me now
yeah it'll be okay
don't talk to me now
yeah it'll be okay

It's Your Ceiling
I'd erase you if I could
but I don't want to be misunderstood
the odds are good
we're lower than the ground you stand on would
as hot as you are

I'm seeing static all the time
it's only second to the dirt I effortlessly find in your mind
can't see you, can't reveal my bleakest side, it's a lie

looks like I fell behind
go ahead, promise lead if you're inclined
take your time because eternally you've wasted most of mine

got this low bitch for bleeding
if that's what you want
and my love, it's your ceiling

I'd erase you if I could
but it's too late to be misunderstood
the odds are good
we're lower than the ground you stand on would
as hot as you

got this low bitch for bleeding
if that's what you want
and my love, it's your ceiling
is that what you want?

Resistance Is Futile
why do I bother to complain
I know the noise won't set it right
why do I bother to explain
myself to dumbass you

quit telling me one way only
please bed you know you owe me
the leash is broken truly
better likes than you have crowed me

oh no, said I
why should I hide
sting in myself resides
I can't resist

I get sick of hearing time
I'll make a mirrored mark
you treat yourself so mean
I'd never intervene

oh no, said I
why should I hide
sting in myself resides
I can't resist
chain myself upright
then went away

it's snowing on the ground back
because I come to make it black
you prefer the thunder crack

you said it sat there and now I can't find it
and baby I know
no reason at all
I love one, I love one
baby I know

capsized a century and I know
I get the baggage you give to grow
deep beneath the undertow

you said it sat there and now I can't find it
and baby I know
no reason at all, you're for it
and baby I know

First History
only god can play tangerines to himself
like his lawn makes you seem someone else

I can't decide either way
I can't decide

can't get away, can't get away fast enough
light plays along, outlines pretty rough

I won't defy either way
I won't defy

Bury Me
Weak and Mean
Seeds

Nimble
Wrong Nothing
