Simple Me

What happened to you, what happened to me?
Slipping into the make believe
Do you ever wish you were more than just ordinary you?
It’s not so bad to be ordinary too
Nothing more to lose
When God’s got nothing to prove to you
So simple to be
Simple me
Along for the ride with the monsters inside
Singing everyday songs with everyday rhymes
Do you ever wish you were more than just ordinary you?
It’s not so bad to be ordinary too
Holding the space between
Disobedient harmonies
So simple to trust
Simple us
The plastic glamorous world hammers us
With marvelous specialness
Sugarless powerless
Imaginary helplessness
It’s not so bad to be ordinary too
Put your hand in mine
Drawing a simple line
Easy to be
Simple me

Disappear
06:04

Whispering
To my ghost again
Secrets you’ve heard
Every word
So patiently
You buried me
Little by little
Piece by piece
All our shifting gears
All our spinning wheels
Drifting into
Our last, black year
Lazy bones
Can’t be alone
Shooting our stars
Into a jar
Selfish me
So selfishly
Tuning in
Flickering out
All our shifting gears
All our spinning wheels
Slipping into
Our last, black year
Wait to disappear
Your broken mind
My broken spine
You carry me
Into the make believe
One last twist
To dial my wrist
A telephone
To the unknown

The Knot
03:53
|

|
My my pretty head
Stuck stuck in the red
But what can I do about it
What what can I do
Connect the dots
Forget-me-knots
But what can I do about it
Nothing I can do
Strip away your hand-me-downs
Unwind my lost and found
Gigantic me, gigantically
Leave me dangling from a string
Gigantic me, gigantically
My bones remember everything
Play play on repeat
Each and every beat
But what can I do about it
What what can I do
Reset it slow
So soft and low
But what can I do about it
Nothing I can do
To erase your poison voice
Filled my pockets full of noise
Gigantic me, gigantically
Every word that you sing
Gigantic me, gigantically
My bones remember everything
Is this all there is
Is this all it can be
Your gentle arms
Suffocating me
Educating me
Every goddamn day
With everything you say
And everything you need
Your sweet honey
Sticks to me
Magnetically
It keeps adding up
Until I’m big enough
To choke you up
The problem is me
Eventually
I’ll be too big for you to swallow

Left Behind
04:48
|
|||
|
Turn off every light you see
This night ain’t big enough for me
Under prairie sky
You and I
Shine
Shine
Mine all mine
This world has left us behind
Come and lay down here with me
There’s no reason to keep gravity
You and I
We can fly
Shine
Shine
Mine all mine
This world has left us behind
Turn off every light you see

Automatic
03:33

Is it better now
To just stay down
Down
We are falling quietly
I know it ain’t gravity
Pulling us down you ain’t foolin’ me
Breathing in slow motion mercury
The perfect past
Will never last
Last
Last radiator dream
Caught in your electron beam
Pulling us in you ain’t foolin’ me
Breathing in slow motion mercury
Your lipstick on my tongue
I know I could have been anyone and done
Will the twilight rescue me
This movie isn’t free
The static frequency
Automatically
Tuning us in you ain’t foolin’ me
Breathing in slow motion mercury

Here I Am
04:44
|
|||
|
Here I am
My gentle hand
Waiting for you
In the storm
Safe and warm
Here I am
Here I am
If I lie to you
Will you lie to me too?
Promises counterfeit
Shooting us into orbit
In the glow
Of the radio
Here I am
Here I am
After doubt
Burns us out
Here I am
Here I am
If I lie to you
Will you lie to me too?
Hand on the igniter
Push it louder, brighter
Put a record on, let the needle drop
On the same old song, play it soft
Play it long, play it to undress
The loneliness, and bitterness
That tangles us, that silences
Disobedience, focusing
Whispering, fluttering
Tracking me down, at the speed of sound
In stereo, warm and low
Drilling in, filling me in
Shattering, spiraling
Breathing in, calculating
Your energy, asking me
Telling me, bending my
Trajectory, to attack
To double back on the double black lines
All my fear, all the signs
Every year, I wait for you
Watch for you, believe in you
Try to do, everything you want,
To electrify you, to amplify you
To satisfy, your gigantic eye
That X-rays me, the skeleton key
Unlocking my, twisting wrench
Tightened against, tomorrow when
Tomorrow and then, never again

Highway Help Me
07:01

Fear follows fear
Silently
Chasing me back down
Town
Runway lights
Glow much too proud
Far too loud
For this quiet place
To sink away
Float like ghosts
All in a row
Smoking tires
On these vampires
Before they nail me into the ground
Your heavy hand
Pushing
Pushing the pedal down
Your heavy hand pushing me goddamn
Body like a knife
All my life
Ready to explode
To drive
The neon road
Swallows the signs
In fluorescent lines
Fairytales
That left me behind
Once upon a time
This world
This world was beautiful
Once upon a time the world was mine all mine
Once upon a time the world was mine
It was black it was all mine
It was cracked and it was all mine
A lo-fi dream and it was all mine
In a magazine and it was all mine
Everywhere I’ve been and it was all mine
Every broken machine and it was all mine
Every single ghost
All I want
All I see
Every in between
Everything is gasoline

The Last Movie
04:02
|
|||
|
If I only knew now
What you put me through then
It’s all I can do now
To be bent not broken
Hating you and waiting for your
Empire to fall, fall down on me
Your rocket to stall, to make me believe
That I’m not too proud
To say it all out loud
I’ll be a fool when
It’s not what I imagine
It’s better forgotten
The last movie is rotten
Hating you and waiting for your
Satellite to burn in the atmosphere
Crashing down after all these years
Remind me I’m not too proud
Too proud to say it out loud
Should I start it over
Please start it over
Please start it over
