Alexandria

I haven't slept home in a week
Is this me figuring out that I'm a restless teen
So drunk my hands are as far as I can see
Wishing they were in yours
Slain beneath the bathroom sink
You haven't yet ironed the crease
I know those eyes and they're working hard to avoid me
Too much too soon to be left behind to clean
See, I have a broom but I'm sweeping up fire debris
It's got me thinking about how people turn into ghosts
Running 'round their old stomping grounds in their mismatched clothes
So honey, please get out of my head
We haven't spoken in a week
I'm walking alone in that black coat that doesn't hold any heat
And it wasn't like I was so ready either
I sure as hell wasn't ready to leave this
A mile in my shoes and you'll end up on that corner
Midnight Friday leaving time foreigner
It's got me thinking about how people turn into ghosts
Running 'round their old stomping grounds in their mismatched clothes
Though nothing's dead the only living thing I know
Is burning down like Alexandria
So honey, please get out of my head
I swear I'll torch West 4th so I can leave this mystery behind the train
And honey, please get out of my head
Things don't always need a reason but I'm feeding out the palm of your hand

Sugar in Coke

Thought I cleared my mind and I cut my hair
I write to you like you're still there
Those jeans you like I always wear
Trace the seams before they tear
Watching you dissolve in front of me
Like sugar in coke
Rosy red in summertime
We'd walk all day and talk all night
Afloat in street clothes side by side
It's a shame you can't control the tides
Baby I'll green every red leaf
if that's what you want
Watching you dissolve in front of me
like sugar in coke
Baby I'll green every red leaf
if that's what you want
Watching you dissolve in front of me
like sugar in coke
(I can still taste the sweetness on the tip of my tongue feeling my heart drop like the windchill of autumn)
I can still taste the sweetness on the tip of my tongue
In the can watching you swirl round and round the bottom
I might be sick if I have one more sip
I've had enough
Watching you dissolve in front of me
like sugar in coke
Watching you dissolve in front of me
like sugar in coke

Superman

I wish I stuck my foot in your elevator door
Broke down that barrier of lament
Against my chest I had a clay microphone
You didn't hear enough how much you meant
So honestly
Fuck how fast things changed
Fuck that night, fuck the silence, fuck the pain
Fuck the way it made me feel to see your hair frizz in the rain
I'm no superman, but I regret all the ways I didn't save this
I should've stuck my foot in your elevator door
Would it have opened to an empty hall
Months of brittle clay thrown across the floor
Tearing my hands apart to shape them as they were
So honestly
Fuck how fast things changed
Fuck that night, fuck the silence, fuck the pain
Fuck how sweet it was when you ran up the stairs to me in the train
I'm no superman, but I regret all the ways I didn't save this
Maybe I needed this to ground me
Maybe I needed this to ground me
How could I call it drowning if I'd never tasted air?
But I know these words now
Wish I'd known them before the doors closed and went down
So honestly
Fuck how fast things changed
Fuck that night, fuck the silence, fuck the pain
Fuck the way it made me feel to see your hair frizz in the rain
Cause I'm no superman, but I regret all the ways I didn't save this
Yeah I'm no superman, but I regret all the ways I didn't save this

Napkin's on the Table
04:29
|

Maybe, maybe it's better now
That I'm not barefoot on our road
Time flies fast as my heart was broke
I've got a thousand song that night seems to own
Hazing to the stars beneath my shoes
To wish something enough to make it real
That message in a bottle
I asked and you were startled
I didn't think it'd make it to you
There were reasons I forgot oh,
I threw it full throttle
I didn't think it'd make it to you
The girl I miss ain't who you are
The napkin's on the table
It's over
People change in terms of days
Sitting by your grave unfolded
I'd say, I'd say I'm wiser now
At the time I was so immature
Hit so hard when you left I switched from night showers to morning
I felt so much I numbed at the core
Hazing to the stars beneath my shoes
To wish something enough to make it real
That message in a bottle
I asked and you were startled
I didn't think it'd make it to you
There were reasons I forgot oh,
I threw it full throttle
I didn't think it'd make it to you
The girl I miss ain't who you are
The napkin's on the table
It's over
People change in terms of days
Sitting by your grave unfolded
I think it's time we can be friends
The ball is in your court
I did all I can
All I'm saying is it'd be a shame if we never spoke again
Walking all those miles just to watch them dissolve at the bottom of the coke can
The girl I miss ain't who you are
The napkin's on the table
It's over
People change in terms of days
Sitting by your grave unfolded
The girl I miss ain't who you are
The napkin's on the table
It's over
People change in terms of days
Sitting by your grave unfolded

Chivalry ain't dead
It's alive in the ladies with the rose eye
Behind the shield in the glove of the stray night
Bar hopping with Mary's how I'd spend my Friday nights
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
Chivalry ain't dead
But it dissipated from your streamline
So wrong that his horse kicked you like a fly bite
Breaking up your club from the center of the cue ball
To your nets, ricocheting off the side wall
This is Hell until she's not around
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
And I'm way too far gone for that stairway
But then again I'll never try
I'm way too far gone for that stairway
The moonrise from below looks good tonight
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
Chivalry ain't dead
It's alive in the ladies with the rose eye
Behind the shield in the glove of the stray night
Bar hopping with Mary's how I'd spend my Friday nights
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
And I'm way too far gone for that stairway
But then again I'll never try
I'm way too far gone for that stairway
The moonrise from below looks good tonight
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around
If this is Hell, I only burn when she's around

Anymore

I don't miss being little anymore
I didn't know that my throat was 8-eye tied with laces
Guess it was nice being left out to dry up the oasis
But I don't miss being little anymore
Blessed I'm breaking down the basement door
Picked the lock out, kicked and swore
So I don't miss being little anymore
I haven't thought about her in ages
For a while thought I'd break like stone on stone
A stone little me kicked down the street I relayed and carved eventually
But I don't miss being little anymore
Blessed I'm breaking down the basement door
Picked the lock out, kicked and swore
So I don't miss being little anymore
Blessed I'm breaking down the basement door
Picked the lock out, kicked and swore
So I don't miss being little anymore
Blessed I'm breaking down the basement door
Picked the lock out, kicked and swore
So I don't miss being little anymore
The Hage turns from hollow rock to stepping stone
Your mind ain't locked outside your body no more
So I don't miss being little anymore
I don't miss being little anymore

Doll

Turns out that message is live as a doll
By now are you the girl I knew at all
Burnt out the smell of thrift stores and the fall
By now remind me all's left is a doll
How many months did it take me to realize love dies if it isn't kept warm
It turns into stone, when I get you alone I can dress you in time for our dinner tonight
What are you feeling right now?
I'll go anywhere you take me
You stare dead into the gas station window
I guess it looks tasty
It's been a while since you looked me in the eye
Last night I swear to god I saw you in my room
The lamplight spat you on my wall in twos
How many months did it take me to realize love dies if it isn't kept warm
It turns into stone, when I get you alone I can dress you in time for our dinner tonight
What are you feeling right now?
(though nothing's dead the only living thing I know)
I'll go anywhere you take me
(Is burning down like Alexandria)
You stare dead into the gas station window
(though nothing's dead the only living thing I know)
I guess it looks tasty
(Is burning down like Alexandria)
(though nothing's dead the only living thing I know)
I'll go anywhere you take me
(Is burning down like Alexandria)
You stare dead into the gas station window
(though nothing's dead the only living thing I know)
I guess it looks tasty
(Is burning down like Alexandria)
It's been a while since you looked me in the eye

Guardsmen

Stood like guardsmen
Til the quiet bends
Like coiled wire
Glued down fire
Climb until you're slipping off the side
Climb until you're slipping off the slide
Stood like guardsmen
Barely grounded
Hollow as a paper cup
Useless as the wind picks up
