Seaweed

I have a small voice stuck in my mouth
but I have so much to say
I just can't get it out
so I scream in the mornings
when no one is around
but I don't feel much better
'cause no one hears the sounds I make
I live in an ocean
filled to the brim with seaweed
and everyone gets all tangled up
whenever they come to see me
I sing when I'm falling asleep
It helps me breathe easy
as I watch the dragons
in the sky surround me
Their fire is warm
Their teeth: terrifying
It takes everything I have
to not think about dying
I live in an ocean
filled to the brim with seaweed
and everyone gets all tangled up
whenever they come to see me
You'd better get comfortable
down here at the bottom of the sea
Hold your breath and take it slow
You can't do any better than me

Clone

I want to say I'm happy for you
but I can't even say your name
If I could, then I would
forget the whole damn thing
I have never been alone like this before
Please, do it again the same way
as always, as always
I need you to clone me
Erase my memories, please
Discard my old body
somewhere in between
the sky and the sea
I have never been alone like this before
Please, do it again the same way
as always, as always
as always, as always

Regional Heat

20th century boys
We were 20th century boys
playing with toys in the backyard
the grass beneath our feet
Next thing I knew, I was living my life
in a cubicle five days a week
What I would give to go back to those days
in the backyard with dirt on my knees
Oh, oh
The regional heat has been getting to me
Every morning, my car is on fire
And I can't do better than anything ever
so I think I'll just call you a liar
The American corporate dream
comes complete with a handgun and tie
and everything you'll ever need
wrapped in a box and stamped $1.99
Oh, oh
You were in bed this morning
your chest moving upwards and down to the beat
Music was coming from the backyard
Clouds overcast and a nice cool breeze
You got dressed, made your way outside
Your neighbors were having a barbecue
You should join them
"No thank you"

And I'm having the dream again
you were my best friend
and it hurts just like it did
when I was a kid
Give me something I can use
to get me through a summer or two
Give me something I can taste
in the back of my mouth when I am not awake

Fluid Lungs

I hope this reaches you soon
I've packed it up
a nice letter and a book
It should get there in a few days' time
I hope it helps
She told me that your lungs filled up with fluid
When I heard, mine felt the same way
I've never been that close to you
but I'm not afraid if you're not afraid
I hope this reaches you soon
I've packed it up
a nice letter and a book
It should get there in a few days' time
I hope it helps
You told me you were glad that I had called you
You said, "Thanks, kid. I hope you're doing fine"
I don't think about you often
I am ashamed, but that's the truth
You told me you were glad that I had called you
You said, "Thanks, kid. I hope you're doing fine"
I don't think about you often
I am ashamed, but that's the truth
I hope we speak again soon

Very Far
03:49
|
|||
I want to build a ship
go to outer-space
let the emptiness swallow my face
A rocket on a mountaintop
I'll make my way up there
and build it with
copper nails and rusted steel
I don't need to get very far
We are what we are
Keep me honest
give it to me straight
what I've made won't make anything great
It's not the broken tools
or the mess I've made
or a lack of trying
or the overstated entropy
that's crippling me
I don't need to get very far
We are what we are
I want to build a ship
go to outer-space
let the emptiness swallow my face
A rocket on a mountaintop
I'll make my way up there
and build it with
copper nails and rusted steel
I don't need to get very far
We are what we are
We are what we are
I don't need to get very far
I don't need to get very far
I don't need to get very far
