In Your Bones

A dozen pretty eyes
A drop of yellow sky
An ounce of little lies
I'm gonna make a woman outta
The mother Mary white
Be clean as to entice
To make a better bride
I'm gonna make a woman outta
The salt of the earth
The car can reverse
The rib, did it hurt
I'm gonna make a woman outta you
I'm in your bones
They break when I'm gone
The everlasting gift
To share a prison kiss
To share a life of bliss
I'm gonna make a woman outta
The hour's fading fast
I'm at the peak at last
I think I'm gonna pass
I'm gonna take a woman outta
Said doctor to a nurse
Hey baby I'm your curse
Said every man on earth
Is gonna make a woman outta
The salt of the earth
The car can reverse
The rib, it didn't hurt
I'm gonna make a woman outta you
See how you do
(hey baby I'm your curse)

You said it first not so coerced, I fell in too
Your icy surf too high to perch, but did I lose
So weighted down, go get your crown, let freedom sink
Such an intrigue you're twice my league, my ideas blink
With lust to have, courage I lack, bread rises silently
My wit too crushed, delusions enough despite me
I don't care if you love me
Branches fall off, trees miss them not, why can't the family
Blood binds and sears, like the sea blinds your ears, not the same entirely
It cuts too deep, I'd rather leave than stick to false parading teeth
Your vessels breach beyond my reach
I can't be what you want me to be
I don't care if you love me
I don't care if you don't love me
I fed your thirst, you weren't coerced, you chose this life for free
You think it's done, surprised you've won upon the preacher's knee
Oh god it's too early to take me but I'm ready
Come on and get happy I'm singing songs already
I don't care if you love me

Under Your Foot
03:17

You told me everything about it
That I'm the one that you picked
Did I need to know to resist
Think I need to be sick
The ocean floor is black as oil
Blinded I'm breathing soot
The guards all think that I'm dead
But I'm just under your foot
You think you know me better than I know myself
I think you know me better than I know myself

Blood Is So Thick

Am I ready to forgive everything
Can you hammer forever and will I say anything
I think you want me to be a thing you never could be
I don't think you realize I am a light, look at me
It's not gonna be alright now
It's not gonna be okay
I'm not gonna come right in to be by your side, so sue me
Did you think you'd love me more than you do
Did you want to love me more than you do
Used to think I would be some kind of prodigal girl
But it's not in my make up, what can I do about it
I'm not gonna be your savior
I'm not gonna be your mother
So I just turn the other way
If you were a friend, I wouldn't stay
But blood is so thick

Rabbit Hole
03:42
|

Gonna crawl into your brain
Navigate your nerves like the rainforest
Sleep in a hammock of memories and wake up when you're scared
Try on your genes, dance in your dreams
And I will follow you down the rabbit hole wherever it may go
Gonna crawl into your skin
Feel the fibers of your arms
Draw my tongue across your teeth
Breathe my breath into your nose
Speak the words your thoughts entreat
And when we reach a pretty pass where color ends and sound is bent
And pain begins
Under you'll go
Gonna invite you in tonight
Feel your imprint on my pride
Lose myself inside your lines
To love you is to die alive
Gonna crawl into your room
Let your eyes pierce mine like a carving knife
Shut the door so no one knows
Hide my shoes, study your disguise
Forever changed
I've rearranged
And on the other side of the rabbit hole
Gonna invite you in tonight
Feel your imprint on my pride
Lose myself inside your lines
To love you is to die alive

Can't Stay
04:45

There's a storm in this house tonight
The rain starts to pink on our sink but the faucet's not running
The puddle seeps in under our bookshelf
Your shoes are all muddy and you're traipsing around like it's nothing but dust
The swirl of your coffee summons gray cyclones
Been brewing for months now so I hear tiny rumbles coming from far away
Coming from upstairs in our room
It shakes the bed, rummages through your clothes
Looks for a testament, searching for evidence
Each ceiling a cloud now
We used to walk on them always with the sun heating our hair hot
Not they're grayed out and rotted
Those flowers won't grow if the parlor starts to flood
The boards give way
You're still reading the news of hurricanes far away
While we're sailing away
I can't stay here tonight
It's drown or it's flight
I don't know if this plane has lift but it might if this storm's bite is less than the cold wind that bustles through me daily with you always being okay
Our house floating down the street
The years have killed me
Hits me finally
Thunderclouds retreat
We're miles apart even though I'm looking at you
I can't stay here tonight

Brick By Brick
03:42
|

Does this mean it's over
Years go by without you
You hope they won't but you and I both know that they will
Painting this fence
Sanding the boards
Still won't make this easy
How could I be so blind avoiding time so madly
Knowing life doesn't stop doesn't make me wiser
So I tie knots so binding
I lay the brick faster
Bring me to disaster if I can't make it slower
Never had the strength to say
I love you and goodbye without crying
Cause you are the sun when it's snows
You are the fire when it's cold
You are the rain when the plants refuse to grow
You are the will when it's hard
Fire burns, houses fall
Brick by brick I give you my heart
I'm right behind you

Spare Time
07:15

Your favorite song said that if I walk you would come too
So where are you
Maybe you quit listening to it
Or maybe you died
Or maybe you lied
But if you're alive I'm not gonna cry
I'm not gonna mind
I won't even ask why
I'll just sit and write a little goodbye
Just a couple of lines in my spare time
About feeling too old and where did it go
And I loved you once just so you know
And it'll turn into song that no one will see
That you'll never hear and I'll never sing
Oh
I don't wanna write
Not anymore
I just wanna sleep right here on the floor
And I'll say goodbye in my spare time

Belong To Me
05:50
|

|
Your heart protected by queens in foreign lands
All I want is to make a fur coat out of you, what's so cruel
No there's no deceit and yet no relief for me
I'm an orphaned wolf in a friendly pack
I'm an experiment strapped to a rocket
And you're just a baby next to a dangerous socket
The lonely love to lie and I'm spying on you
I lie awake in your sweet arms but you do not belong to me
I'm as sure as a broken clock that you love me
You said you profess in your dreams
With you chest on my cheek
Yet I see you so safe without me
I'm nervous I'm falling into a concrete crooked room without a camera to prove it
And once again I'm a defective detective ruining it
Stuck with another destruction
A 3 minute consolation
Of these haunting vibrations
Could you take this as a love song because I wrote you one
I lie awake in your sweet arms but you do not belong to me

Deja Vu
04:54
|
|||
|
Turning down the avenue lost on my way to get out of the way
This Amoco hasn't been contemporary since this 70s
If this were a desert or a ghost town there would be tumbleweeds
But since we're on 182nd there's only broken forties
I feel the heat of the asphalt see the haze rise up like fumes
I'm ready for anything as the bridge caves into a cocoon
It swallows my car, my legs, my chest, my arms, and my head
I'm bracing for you, I'm bracing for said and unsaid
Now I'm trapped in the rubble
This tunnel where my memories go
My breath lays shaken
My senses are clear as snow finding rest on black mittens and in seconds it's gone
Electricity zaps in my bones and you live on
In the strangest of places that I've never been before
As evidence of something more
