isn't it cool running down dark hallways bouncing rubber balls because no one comes to church on a weekday race you to the water fountain quietly make me clean silent as a lamb we skinned our knees under the steeple you said don't be scared jesus is there or is he in heaven? light drips heavy through the pines there's nowhere that I can hide i'll trade a quarter for your soul that's a quarter I don't own isn't it weird they wrote your name up on the glass when I saw it I got cold i forgot that you had passed away i remember a dream you were a great big river i was a little fish warm but slowly sinking

where's my head at conveniency out the window when i see you do you hear me and i fall downfall and i fall where's my head at out that window when i see you huddled down, eyes to avenue is this better you know it's all the same to me

trying 03:33
if i borrowed your makeup would it cover up the fact that i'm still terrified to look you in the eyes promise me that you won't laugh unless you think i'm funny i am a fool you wouldn't even recognize me i love when the paint chips from your nails i mostly keep my hands to myself i have trouble knowing me in the face of adversity i keep it cool as cool as i can be i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i played it out in my head all the stupid things i said i only recognize myself 'cause i'm not whatever else and i'm a mess and that's to bad i think that you know that best i'm sorry that i spelled your name wrong once again, i lose my voice i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying

have you heard about the war in iceland i haven't either but there must be one 'cause a place can't be that perfect do you think that my world can be round when your affect is so flat and i'm not a quitter but i'm surely not a winner you say i'm the latter but i know better when you say that you should have wrote a letter have you heard about my story it's surely not boring but you might wanna skip a few pages do you think that i don't see your face when you and your friends think that i'm disgracing your idea of womankind or something like that that i could never get behind i'm not a quitter but i'm surely not a winner you say i'm the latter but i know better i know you flatter me with those kinds of words have you heard about the skeletons in my closet they may scare you but i think you could take some advice from them

people 03:14
I found some footprints in the back yard I heard some sounds in the closet If we put 2 and 2 together I think we can assume that we're haunted (i think you have a point when you say i have changed i lost the key to my old house and i know much of anything there's universes inside of my mind i like to live there most of the time but if the past is the past feel free to come and visit) i tripped on cracks in the tennis court where the weeds grow higher than your knees let's follow the path on the treasure map under the bleachers through the trees time and time again you disappoint me time and time again I disappoint me you looked cold as a polar bear walks in the snow were your favorite things you've got flowers inside of you they're holding out for spring you called to tell me you loved me that you'd be proud no matter what i hear you crying softly how can I ever repay that much (i thank the moon and the stars for not letting me back into your arms i think we're best off just packing up and leaving here i think you have a point when you say i have changed i lost the key to my old house and i don't know anymore) time and time again you disappoint me time and time again i disappoint me you don't know me i don't owe you a thing you don't know me i don't owe you a thing even if i lived in obscurity i would still be interesting there's too much that you don't know about me

bible names 03:04
do you want to build an alter together i know a shady spot out in the woods you can sacrifice me to the forest spirits we can prove to each other that we're good ooh ooh show me I'm real (x4) sometimes you cry when your father hits your mother sometimes you cry when there's garbage on your lawn let's make a game we can play with each other grab the brooms and I'll grab the soccer ball ooh ooh show me I'm real (x4)

wish i could collapse like a star or maybe just into bed there's laundry all over my floor what day is it wish i was the click of the heat trying to keep you warm i'd set myself on fire but you're cold i've never been too flammable i wish i was plural i wish i was plural i wish i was plural i wish i lived on the highway by the side of the interstate watching cars go by with nothing to solidify my fragile mind i wish i lived in space slowly floating away watching stars go by 'til i was nothing but a distant point of light i wish i was plural i wish i was plural i wish i was plural now i wish i was grass now i wish i was leaves now i wish i was wind now i wish i was everything and everything and everything
