Scouts

I'm signing up for the scouts
So I can learn every knot
Until I get to the one
You know I really want
You let go of my hand
So I picked up a bottle
This time I swear for real
I'll never let go
So if you came unprepared
Then what are you good for?
In a dream you woke me
"Hey kid, I was only kidding"
And "why would I ever leave
When we've got everything?"
So if you came unprepared
Then what are you good for?
It's too late to go home
Everyone's pissed
It's too late
"Hey kid..."
And you kissed my cheek
"...Just make sure you fuck up whatever you can on the way out"
But your mother still thinks I know something that I don't

Chelsey, how'd you find the time to settle down?
I could've sworn that I just turned around
From the park, where we used to meet,
Lying in the grass, my head in your lap,
And you fixed my broken back
You're lost in a daydream
…a giant pile of leaves
"Point out all the planes to me"
Falling asleep on a trampoline
With a sweater and a diamond ring
And your first cup of coffee
Drawing hearts in the morning
Where the window's fogging
There's diamonds on your fingers now
Your hair is all grown out
I must've blinked when I was sixteen
And missed everything
With soft white lights
Hanging over our heads
As our record spins
Give me a goodbye kiss
I must've blinked when I was sixteen

Get Out
04:56

This place is small
I cannot see at all
Dizzy from heat
Tension consuming me
I need a name
Catch me the southbound train
I need a change
Tell me it will ease the pain
Fuel me
It's time that I get up and get moving
Fuel me
It’s time I that get out, it’s time I move around
I’ve gained some speed
Big thanks to breaking routine
I am on the move
How long until I lose?
I need a name
Wake up; feel home again
I need a change
Move through all the years of pain
Catch me
Tell me
Wake up
Move through
Fuel me
It's time that I get up and get moving
Fuel me
It’s time I that get out, it’s time I move around

Karma, come and get me
You know now I'm ready
Karma come and take me home
Before I head out on my own
Dear everyone I've given up,
I still speak but I am never saying much
Karma, what are you waiting for?
It's time that you settle the score
Karma, come and make your claim
You know I'll come when you call my name
Dear everyone, I've given up
Tucked my tail between my legs
I've nothing left to give
An old dog with old tricks
Every night I bark how I'm putting myself down,
But wait for my day to come around.
Catch me howling at the moon,
Acting like it's something new

The Magician

There's not too many more tricks up my sleeves
But I'm still working on my disappearing act
Like you care
I'm only smoke
I'm only mirrors
I'm only happy when I disappear
It's just a sleight of hand
A coin behind your ear
I'm only happy when I disappear

If I were yinz I'd lay there and stare at the wall
I'd analyze the lines and find all the faces that call
I'd stare at my hands all day, broken lines fading away
And in my dreams, those lines will route my escape
If I were you I'd lay my body in a corner
I'd ask these concrete walls to hold me tight
I’d fear moving my feet and even moving my eyes
The sensation would remind me that I am alive
If I were you I'd bury my coins in the ground
I'd pray to the gods that all my pieces be found
I'd spit the charms all day until my tongue turned to clay
Oh the droning is such a soothing sound
If I were you I'd rip the hair from my head
you know nothing of the stars, you scream that magic is dead
I'll tell you one more time, you've got to open your mind
Relax, my soul is on the mend
I can feel their hands holding me down
and if I move my eyes, even my mouth
Threatening the ones holding me down,
they’ll press my face to the ground
And I can feel their hands holding me down
pressing my face to the ground
every line on the floor
has never led me to the door
Which line led me to the place where hope is found?

The Mayor of My Joy

There's something out there
We're not alone in here
I tried to tune it out
It came in crystal clear
Invite the devil in
Give up your idle hands
I'm just a victim here
A slave to the circumstance
Keep your head down
There's terrible creatures around
Some of them have my eyes
You should stay inside
Oh my lord
It's clearly the end of the world
Why are we not drunk
In your lipstick and heels
I'm ready now
Blessed with my new sight
Into a world of black and white
I think I miss the old days
I think we miss when we were blind
Blessed with a broken jaw
No need to give my piece
Even a fool is wise
If you don't hear them speak
Keep your head down
There's terrible creatures around
Some of them have my eyes
You should stay inside
Oh my lord
It's clearly the end of the world
Why are we not drunk
In your best lingerie
I'm ready now
I didn't crawl back out of hell just to deal with this
Everything looks the same
I'm tired of it
We never really felt like ourselves when we're in this skin
We're really just waiting around until it ends
Keep your head down and fuck off

… and I'll find you in the next life
When I come back with fangs
And this will make sense
Come and find me in the next life
When you come back with wings
And this will make sense
Where'd we go wrong?
Where do we go?
Drunk again with the worst ideas
We'll be cleaning up the mess for years
I don't I have the time to make things right,
But I swear to you now,
I'll find you in the next life.
Were you pregnant with the worst ideas?
We'll be cleaning up the mess for years
If you abandoned them then why can't I?
But you swear this will all make sense in the next life
This could be the last we ever speak
Tell me I'm wrong
This could be the last we ever speak
Where'd I go wrong?
I'll find you in the next life
When I come back with fangs
And this will all make sense
You found a light that I could never see
Where'd I go wrong?
I can feel it sharpening my teeth
Where'd I go wrong?
Drunk again with the worst ideas
I didn't really know what else to do
I lost my breath in the midst of my amends
Before I ever even made it to you

Presser

Hold me down, hold me down
Add a stone, and press me down
I’d rather drown, I’d rather drown
Tie me up, take my crown
Turn my face to the crowd
I’d rather drown, I’d rather drown
Burn me down, burn me down
Burn my whore house to the ground
Take my ashes to the sea, so my spirit may be free
Because the sea and me know how to breathe in harmony
You cannot take me down, I’ll never drown
Cut me up, spread me out
These dirty dogs have found me out
No you’re not safe in your dreams
I haunt incessantly
My favorite game is hide and seek
And you will meet me in your sleep
Snakes crowd around your feet
No one will hear your screams
My spirit wakes, my spirit wakes
And in the night you’ll scratch and shake
And I will meet you when you rise
I’m the twitch behind your eyes
The sea and me know how to breathe in harmony
You cannot take me down, I’ll never drown

Flower Moon

Sunflowers up to your second floor window
There's so much life outside for you to ignore
It's time to pack, and I'll move away
Stare at my television in a place
Stargazers, covered in baby's breath,
Wilting away in your kitchen
You moved to the mountains, where it's hard to breathe
That high altitude won't get you closer to your god
I stood under your Flower Moon
And waited for it to fall on me
If only I could make my way to you
But you're hung too far to reach
I am the poster child for "naive"
What were you saying?
