Cardboard Blue

How come I’m painting cardboard boxes blue
How come i’m peeling vegetables for two like you did like you did
How come i’m feeling like i don’t exist
How come i’m poking at the boiling cyst on your leg on your leg
And I wonder what the cost is of your trust your trust
And i wonder what the cost is of your trust your trust
Home come i’m cutting up old brown lamp shades
How come i’m sleeping in for days and days anymore anymore
How come the earth keeps spinning round and round
If not to spin us back into the ground even the score even the score
And i wonder what the cost is of your trust your trust
And i wonder what the cost it of your trust your trust
And i wonder what the cost it of your trust your trust
And i wonder if you’d save me a seat on the bus the bus
Or I wonder if you’d just leave me in the dust

Devil's Gold
04:26

A shitty point of view
Brought me back to you
When you slammed the door
My shirt still on the floor
You got bad contused
When you flipped an illegal U
When your body well it flew
But your soul got the upper view
Once every hundred years
God and my dad grab a beer
From their places on opposite sides
Of the heavenly divide
And they talk about girls and football
And they dream just like any old guys
And once in awhile they laugh
And once in awhile they cry
But they mostly stare off into space
And watch shit fly by
A shitty point of view
Brought me back to you
Your footprints on my wall
From crawling across my bed
Your hand marks on my sink
From the place where we both drank lead
From the kitchen where we both bled
Cuttin' vegetables i guess
And your mom left a couple hundred messages
On my answering machine
But my mailbox just got full
And we let our feelings dull
Til you walked across the floor
Til the night you slammed the door
There’s a mirror on my gravestone
Where i see all my friends who’ve died
And when they lower me inside
There’ll be mirrors in my coffin too
So i can see myself as well
As I’m lowered down to hell
For quite a lengthy spell
And I’ll never get out
Unless you yank me with your mouth
In a final angel kiss
Though i’ll be some demon's piss
They’ll take a picture in between and they’ll call it eternal bliss
Well a shitty point of view
Is what brought me back to you
And our love was overdue
Like rotting on the shelf
Didn’t lead to much good health
But it brought the devil wealth
When he gobbled up my soul
That’s what’s called devils gold
That’s what’s called devils gold
That’s what’s called devils gold

Black Eyed Lover
02:37
|

I wanted to fly so I hollowed out my bones with a spoon
Can't believe the flaming hoops you've got me diving through
Cook up my marrow for a treat I'll take it as a compliment
Sometimes memory loss comes heaven sent
Home is the feeling of dimes standing on end
And I can no longer pretend
You're not the black eyed lover
You're not the black eyed lover
You're not the black eyed lover
Sipping Grapefruit juice at the foot of my bed
I wanted to be free so I gave you some of my burdens
It didn't work now both our backs are bent
I'll sip the lava as it pours into our basement
And I'm sorry if I ruined you on all my friends
You're not the black eyed lover
You're not the black eyed lover
You're not the black eyed lover
Sipping Grapefruit juice at the foot of my bed
Leaving is a crow's foot crooked after death
And you hurt me bad but I must confess
You're not the black eyed lover
You're not the black eyed lover
You're not the black eyed lover
Sipping Grapefruit juice at the foot of my bed

It Isn't And It Won't Be
01:02
|
|||
Either or anymore I feel like dying
Glass slippers and a Toblerone
I told you to go home
But you wouldn't go home
Figgy Pie I don't know why we're even trying
When the whippoorwill's song's so cold
A Coke can that wrinkles up and crinkles up
Deep in my soul
I wanted this to be
Something good for me
But it isn't, nah it isn't
I wanted this to be
Something you could see
But it isn't, and it won't be

Broken In
01:57
|
|||
When I saw you there with him
All drinking on his dirty gin
And you touched his hand
I didn't understand
When I chased you down the street
The moon it made those puddles bleed
Did you like them then
All broken in
Oh I wish I could be him
All wrapped around your chin
But I could never be
Close to me
With you
Possible lives float in the wake
I realize my big mistake
Was loving you
When you were so cruel
If I could make it all rewind
I'd still love you every time
I am your fool
I'm locked to you
Oh I wish I could be him
All wrapped around your chin
But I could never be
Close to me
With you
A sabotage an injury
Everything now left me is a lifetime
Of missing you coming unglued
Skipping stones forever on the sideline
Oh I wish I could be him
All wrapped around your chin
But I could never be
Close to me
No I could never be
Close to me
With you

Swan Dive
03:09
|

It's a swan dive I don't care who you are
Broken feathers that'll leave a scar
Unless you're ready
Are you ready
Stage lights/shadow on your face tonight
Perfect diction when you read the lines
I am not ready
How could I be ready
There's a home in your arms
And it's where I want to be
But there's a hole in my heart
And it's keeping you from me
If I ask you for something you can't live
Don't mind my stupid words though I act like a kid
If you're not ready
I don't want to be ready
There's a home in your arms
And it's where I want to be
But there's a hole in my heart
And it's keeping you from me

The Weather
00:42
|

We talk about the weather
Cause it's fucking relevant
Jesus Christ the Big Bang
Don't make me put on a jacket
I'm sorry
When I open the door
Look up at you
My wrist
Slips in
My sleeve
I say
Goodbye

Gold To Me
03:50
|
|||
I know I won't be with you for at least a while
I had a gap in your string of lovers
But I failed to strike when the iron was hot
And now you're paired off with another
But you're gold to me
Don't make me have to say it
You're gold to me
Why can't you see why can't you see
The fall Michaela walked off into the dark
I didn't know just what to say
I kissed your shoulder in the chapel in the morning
But you just looked the other way
But you're gold to me
Don't make me have to say it
You're gold to me
Why can't you see why can't you see
Don't hate yourself yourself
Don't hate yourself yourself
Last week I came home to you sitting on his bed
You faked a smile and so did I
I mumbled something bout how time is like an orchard
You didn't call me on my lie
But you're gold to me
Don't make me have to say it
You're gold to me
Why can't you see why can't you see
I hear your voices coming through his door
I've never had such fun as that before
I hear your body moving on his floor
I've never had such fun as that
But you're gold to me
Don't make me have to say it
You're gold to me
Why can't you see why can't you see
Don't hate yourself yourself
Don't hate yourself yourself
And I won't hate myself
But if I do oh well

Stupid Boy
03:02
|

I'm a stupid boy I've need pins in my brain
When the levy broke you couldn't find my name
But by the end of the day
You would learn my fate
Such a stupid boy
I don't know why I called you at home
Maybe just to hear you all grown
You said we're only 16
I said well what does that mean
I'm such a stupid boy
When the town broke the bones poked the corpse spoke
I needed you here
Between heartbeats under your sheets with no heat
I became unclear
On what was really real
To such a stupid boy
Now the moths they dance around in my skull
Cobwebs billow like a thread you'd like to pull
I'm a ghost town now
And I don't know how
I'm such a stupid boy
I was a bad brew inside you and we stewed
Til we overflowed
From the remains of your place we ran away
Both unwhole
Til you left me alone
To be a stupid boy
I'm a stupid boy
I'm a stupid boy I know
Because you told me so

The Beginning or the End
00:57
|
|||
Under cover of night
We dreamed life so sweet
I came to know you
But you never knew me
And the fog it burned off
In the West Texas heat
Dirty shirt ruffled hair
I wandered out onto your street
And I didn't know
Cause you didn't tell me
That you were bleeding
Inside of your body
Another note I wrote you will not see

I knock on your door til it’s night and you’re still not alive
My hands are all covered in soot to prove that I tried
The moon is a cowl shell
In which I dare not dwell
Til it is time
Our shoes made a pile by the door that i took as a sign
Your clothes spread out on my floor I thought you were mine
As soon as our lives had merged
The devil began to purge
And made you divine
Bury you in a shallow grave in case you choose to rise
The fifth day of the prophecy is printed on your eyes so it’s no surprise
I knock on your door til it’s night and you’re still not alive
The fact of god come to light before it is time
Such an incredible
Stunt i’d like to pull
After this life
The rook in the garden scours the rubbish for snakes
Their fangs are not poison but still they’ll bite all the same
A copse in the biting cold
Where coals burn down to gold
Is all that remains
Bury you in a shallow grave in case you choose to rise
The fifth day of the prophecy is printed on your eyes
Oh god,oh why

I Won't Quit Dreaming
02:46
|
|||
When you told me you were sickly
And the future came on quickly
Well we watched our plans unravel
From the distance our hearts travelled
And I thought about our first born
Walking out under some spring morn
Now we knew we'd never see him
Just a dream we had imagined
You said lay me near the cool creek
Where we walked by in our first spring
In the shadow of the plum tree
Where the willow won't quit weeping
On the morning when you're first gone
Well I'll walk out over our lawn
When you asked me will you think of me
And I told you I won't quit thinking
And I need you to believe me
Yeah I promise I won't quit thinking
I promise I won't quit dreaming
I promise I won't quit dreaming
Just like we first dreamed
Back in our first spring
