Good Morning

Good morning it’s now tomorrow
A sunny day, full of sorrow
Hi, said the friends at the gallows
We burnt the witch but we still feel shallow
Armageddon is nothing, compared to this
Well, well, aren’t you smart
You look so nice with your hair done up
And you keep pushing all your demons away
I’ll help you push your demons away
Good morning it’s April something
Heavy clouds with a chance of crying
Hi, said the queen to the nation
A million dead and the music’s playing
Island living is nothing compared to this
Shut up, don’t be smart
It’s as simple as this you have a heart
Armageddon is nothing, compared to this
Well, well, aren’t you smart
You look so nice with your hair done up
And you keep pushing all your demons away
I’ll help you push your demons away

Shoe

I wanna walk around you
Like a child in a museum
I wanna be beside you
Like a guide at the colosseum
I don’t even have to say these words
But I do
You’re my right shoe,
I’m your left shoe
We stand together
You’re my right shoe,
I’m your left shoe
We walk together
Everybody is a sheep
In the club tonight
We are very crazy for you
Wont you take a look at me
Cause me fit just right
I’m 11 you’re 11 too
I don’t even have to say
These words
But I do
You’re my right shoe,
I’m your left shoe
We stand together
You’re my right shoe,
I’m your left shoe
We walk together
I don’t wanna be a notch on your belt
When you hold my hand I could melt
I declare it’s a tragic world without you
There are a million ways to die
Why does it hurt so much to smile
Time is a construct I can only bare beside you
You’re my right shoe,
I’m your left shoe
We stand together
You’re my right shoe,
I’m your left shoe
We walk together

You can act all shy
But you know that I want you
In the dead of night
I want to live with you
So terrified of the road that takes you
Don’t modify, everyone adores you
At least I do
Right where the blackbird sighs I look at you
Through and through
Right where your father died
I hold on to your hand
So terrified of the road that takes you
Don’t modify, everyone adores you
At least I do
Everybody has you up on their wall sometimes
Everybody thinks of you when they sleep at night
When I say everybody I’m actually referring to me

You Deserve an Oscar
03:36
|
|||
|
Clap your hands and catch a fly
Bite an apple, shut your eyes
Moisturize your skin is dry
Goes the ringing of the bell
Tell your friends you’re doing well
Call a doctor about your health
And I think you deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing’s wrong
Every day there’s something else
But you carry yourself
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up before your eyes
You deserve a prize
Take a supplement for sun
Try and sleep with everyone
No you’re doing nothing wrong
Kiss a season on the mouth
Take a walk and hug a clown
All the funny ones are down
And I think you deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing’s wrong
Every day there’s something else
But you carry yourself
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up before your eyes
You deserve a prize
Watch a war under the sheets
Get a coffee down the street
Plastic bags in harmony
Everybody’s incomplete
Who’s the best at saving face
Who’s the toughest in the race
Forget the pope you have the grace
You’re my nomination
You deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing’s wrong
Every day you face the scenes
But you put on your jeans
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up and slowly dying
You deserve a prize

Lobster
04:11

Sat here half alone beside my screen
People come and go that’s how it works out here
Hope I find someone just like me
Talking to stranger cross the world
Cereal and sweatpants where’s my girl
Hope I find someone just like me
Listen your commander’s speaking
I’m so sad to tell you this but
There are no free agents left
We’re bringing your time to an end
And this is me from out the curtain
Saying I’m not cut out for this
Quest for orange Wednesday’s lover
Guess I’ll never be a red lobster
Walking through a crowd of empty hearts
Destined for the factory as spare parts
Hope they give mine to someone sweet
Listen your commanders speaking
I’m so sad to tell you this but
There are no free agents left
We’re bringing your time to an end
And this is me from out the curtain
Saying I’m not cut out for this
Quest for orange Wednesday’s lover
Guess I’ll never be a red lobster
Table for one at the bar of love
They’re blazing “When I’m 64”
Can you cook the lover’s set menu
For one person?
And maybe it’s just me and that’s ok
And there’s no level of wordplay
That beats what Reddit™ tells you
This can be a lonely, lonely place

Outrun the Bear
03:52

I won’t remember you forever
But I will
I think about you every other week
It’s a skill
I don’t think anybody cares
I’d do the darkest shit for her
You don’t have to outrun the bear
I’ll fall over for you
You don’t have to pretend to care
I like you being you
I like that you’re in architecture
What a thrill
I think you’re really not a traitor
That’s just it
I found you watching porn today
Maybe you’ll swap it out for me
You don’t have to outrun the bear
I’ll fall over for you
You don’t have to pretend to care
I like you being you
You don’t have to outrun the bear
I’ll feed it me for you
You don’t have to be someone else
I like you best as you

1000 Tears Deep
03:14
|
|||
|
Welcome to the fellowship of sadness
Here we cry all the time
There’s complimentary liquids
And please try not to smile
You are a thousand tears deep
But you are more than your wet cheeks
In the middle of your mattress
Your fingers hold onto mine
You’re the saddest of the saddest
Hey, I think you qualify
You are a thousand tears deep
But you are more than your wet cheeks
When you call me up, and you’re crying your eyes out
I just want you to know that I’m here for you
Like a bridge over cheek water
I’m always here for you
And you’re so much more than this
You’re so much more than this
You are a thousand tears deep
But you are more than your wet cheeks

Mystery
03:43
|
|||
|
All of them, dreaming strange inventions in the shade
30 mile-an-hour domestic winds
Blow away my nice domestic things
The ground is full of improbable vegetations
Black and heavy branches cut the sky
Mechanisms work behind my eyes
What a mystery that I could want you still
It’s a mystery that I would pick you 10 out of 9 times
The water’s cold
All the red fish leave my feet alone
Crush of people walk along the street
The perfume they wear smells good to me
And what a mystery that I could want you still
It’s a mystery that I would pick you 10 out of 9 times

Oldest Trick in the Book
03:21
|
|||
|
I cannot follow us like a persistent worm
That’s not a thing that I can do
You are a lake of love
A raging genius
And you don’t want the things I do
The first time we met up
Asked you in for coffee
You said that’s the oldest trick in the book
And when I think about you often
I picture you smirking
When I used the oldest trick in the book
Cute if not pitiful
So unoriginal
And yet it’s how it all begins
If I’m a lake of love
You’re a deep diver and who
can say if that’s enough to win?
The first time we met up
Asked you in for coffee
You said that’s the oldest trick in the book
And when I think about you often
I picture you smirking
When I used the oldest trick in the book

Looking
02:56
|
|||
|
I wanna be a person
I wanna be apart
I wanna do things in the back of your car
I wanna be nothing
I wanna be a star
I wanna find a reason to get up at all
I keep on looking
For something that isn’t that
I keep on looking
For something that isn’t there
I wanna be a darling
I wanna be a fraud
I wanna take my head out of the oven
I wanna be a terror
I wanna be stopped
I wanna be more than a guy on the couch
I keep on looking
For something that isn’t that
I keep on looking
For something that isn’t there

Rat Race
02:58
|
|||
|
By the concrete
By the palm trees
What a pretty massacre on the street
In a dark cloud
In a blackout
Everybody is what they need to be
What a nice day
For a rat race
Everybody chasing your long tail
Have a nice day in the rat race
Everybody knows how the game’s played
In a nice dream
In a century
What a pretty picture it all might seem
In the wrong crowd
In the wrong town
You can be the person you don’t wanna be
What a nice day
For a rat race
Everybody chasing your long tail
Have a nice day in the rat race
Everybody knows how the game’s played
What a nice day
For a rat race
Everybody pulling the same face
Have a nice day in the rat race
Everybody knows how the game’s played

Krakow
03:23
|
|||
|
In the pipes of this city
The rodents open up their eyes
The hover trains begin their lives
Like I do without you
I argue with my toaster
I wear my jeans a hundred days
Most intimate I’ve been of late
Is a pat-down at the airport
And I want what I can’t have
But I don’t want what I can
And that’s the recipe for being alone
I wonder through the market square
People selling Krakow tours
But the minimums for two people
I walk on like before
I crawl onto chapel steps
Just me and my hundred apps
I look around at no one else
And no one else looks back
And I want what I can’t have
But I don’t want what I can
And that’s the recipe for being alone
