All this weight in honest words
The weightlessness of a modern girl
Please believe me when I say these things
Rare phrases, words with wings
I want these ties to be made out of concrete
While still allowing softer feelings to grow beneath our feet
And like french philosopher, I don't
Say it i mean it, don't
Say it i mean it, don’t
Say it i mean it
And when you’re mostly asleep i don't
Say it I mean it, don’t
Say it I mean it, don't
Say it i mean it

I would do anything you told me to
Even the things I promised myself
I'd never do
A French philosopher once said
My soul it weighs nothing
My soul it weighs nothing
But that all means the same to you
No one ever told me
To watch out, never go out
Without your shell
Now I know that people will stoop so low
To prey on the naive
With childish eyes eager to believe
And now I don't believe in
Anything
Anything

Why don’t you go wake up early
And go to the beach
It’ll be better weather there
It’ll be better weather there
Ooo
Already know where I’m gonna go
When I die
I see it in my head
See it in my head
See it in my head each night
Don’t know where, know where
This courage came from
Nowhere, Nowhere
Don’t know where, know where
This Courage came from
Nowhere,Nowhere
Ooo
Already know where I’m gonna go
When I die
I see it in my head
See it in my head
See it in my head each night
Don’t know where, know where
This courage came from
Nowhere, Nowhere
Don’t know where, know where
This Courage came from
Nowhere,Nowhere
Ooo

Memo

|

|
They say use it or lose it, Well I
Lost it anyway
Immeasurable time tessellates
Patterns of past recreate
Thinking then knowing, thinking then losing it
Write it down
Write it down
Write it down
Write it down
Abstract thoughts are found in the clouds

Dog Days

Dog days of summer
Invite the fuzzy mumbling behind frames
Cross eyed vision a symptom of tension
Rooted in wanting time to stand still
But it never stands still
Like a child in Sunday's best
Mothers scold cannot arrest
To stand still
Stand still
And wait for chill of autumn to reassure
Once more that change is on it’s way
It’s best to accept that tomorrow will be
Just as good as today
I hope that tomorrow will be
Just as good as today
Today

To the girl who cried at sight of blood
Did you think the dresses were going to make up
For lips pursed and shut
You should have smiled more
You should have smiled more
You should have smiled more
You should have smiled more
Smile for me through your
Gritted teeth as if
You couldn't cry more
To become something other than oneself
To melt into walls and sheets and
Disappear completely
Is symptom, is feeling of something
Sinister, nesting in places
Forged by ever-changing faces
You should have smiled more
You should have smiled more
You should have smiled more
You should have smiled more
Smile for me through your
Gritted teeth as if
You couldn’t cry more

Teach me how to dance, yeah
Throw my footsteps cross the floor
Teach me how to dance, yeah
Show me what my hips are for
Ooo
Free me from this amber
Spin me in this breeze
Please forgive me for my clumsy knees
Watch out for my clumsy feet
Ooo
Teach me how to dance, yeah
Throw my footsteps cross the floor
Teach me how to dance, yeah
Show me what my hips are for
Teach me how to dance, yeah
What is it that you make music for
What is it that you make music for

I, I still believed
I could be
Anything I wanted
And you, you couldn't see
Past the past
Confined by
Cinder blocks and tv screens
Confined by
Cinder blocks and tv screens
So you say I’m yours to keep and you pretend
You don’t hear me scream
I want out of here
I want out of here
But really I’m just too polite to say
Anything
Always been more comfortable in the
Back seat
Car wrecks don’t only happen when you’re driving
Car wrecks don’t only happen when you’re driving

Family Plot

What am I doing
What am I doing
Moving fast, thinking slow
Following nothing, always tugged
You and I will always be together
You and I will never be apart
You and I will always be together till you suffocate
And then I will buy us a family plot
A day goes by without you
And I don't know what to do
A year goes by without you
And I’ve been painted a Prussian blue
You and I will always be together
You and I will never be apart
You and I will always be together till you suffocate
And then I will buy us a family plot
You and I will always be together
You and I will never be apart
You and I will always be together till you suffocate
And then I will buy us a family plot
You and I will always be together
You and I will never be apart
You and I will always be together till you suffocate
And then I will buy us a family plot
