I'm everywhere, but I'm downtown now, over you.
I'm soaring.
You're cornered.
I'm waiting to devour you and quarter you for the rest.
You're taken.
You're fading.
You're weightless.
You're tasteless.
I'll wade through all the troubles of the moment.
I'll take you to my babies to chew, spit, and swallow you down.
Letting you fly, letting you fall, this is the way out after all.
They need to feed, you need to learn to chew, spit, and swallow it down.
Set for the night, set for the fall, this is the way out after all.
They need to feed.
Nobody's talking, they chew, spit, and swallow you down.
Somebody should've told you, I'm only getting older.
Over me, I'm soaring.
You're cornered.
I'm waiting to devour you and quarter you for the rest.
Hey, I told you I would carry you.
Hey, don't you know that you never flew?

Attention

You said that you liked the attention. Well, I guess it's good I was listening to you keep making demands how and planning out this life you want works for whoever you want and will I try it: "Oh man, I don't care who you are, wherever you guard I'll be lying around again."
You said that you lacked the attention needed while I was sleeping. Do you keep making demands how and planning out this life you want works for whoever you want and will I try it: "Oh man, I don't care who you are, wherever you guard I'll be lying around again."
Do you ever throw away and turn out the lights, inflating me in everyway.
Do you ever stay awake and leave on all the lights, inflating me in everyway. Right?

I don't want to know who.
I don't want to know you when it's over.
By the way, I'm lying.
I thought about what we said the past few weeks, trying to play cute.
But, I think I've gotten to know you.
Don't say it's over. By the way, I'm lying.
Write me a letter home that reads at the bottom, "XOXO. From, Territories Unknown."
Now I'm alone and I wanted you to hold me.

Oh Saints
04:22

Knives in the back of my insane reactions to chemicals I ingest just to feel relaxed.
Oh saints, you can't take this sick and sadly state.
I think it's kind of funny how we never want a good reaction and the possibility of getting one's not too attractive.
A tart temper never mellows with age it only gets tarter.
A sharp tongue's the only edge tool that grows keener with constant use.
What are you waiting for? A holiday?
Oh no, you wouldn't let a drunk work a radio?
No, roll it on the roof top, roll it over.

In Mud Again

Where's the man who was shot down defending your four year plan.
Send the school the body bag with grants.
New cabinet, same advice: lets run the whole world to shit.
A terrorist, the president elect.
I still remember the Boeing full of bodies.
Where were you, jockeying for office?
Step into the light with me, see how the public likes it.
One way or another.
Is your man working late to pay for your four year plan?
Back in school you fuck and use your friends.
And then I saw you with no window to jump through.
Jump through, now you've got an audience.
Step onto the ledge with me and see how your body likes it.
One way or another.
The campaign is up and now it's time for something new.
Your name in mud again.
I will love you standing there like someone new.
I will love again.

I'd like to see you try.
I'd like to watch you wonder why.
Over my entire insides.
Watching the world die all damn night.
I'd like to see you cry.
I'd like to see you wonder why.
Over my entire insides.
Watching the world die all damn night.
Wondering why'd I take all damn night
While screaming, "this ain't my life."
I don't understand what you're trying to prove.
I don't understand what you're trying to hold onto.
So, don't tell me what is healthy or helping
Cause trust me, you don't know the meaning.

Only Love Me
04:48

I'll take off my failed wishes and dreams.
Float on to create ambitious insecurities.
I'm sure excitement abounds to stay away from the little worlds.
I'll strip off, for a start, all respect
Show her that you don't have a heart.
And I'll say, just look at what this woman's done for you.
She'll be oh so sweet and she'll stay by my life for me.
When she grows her teeth, you'll see.
The take home isn't quite what it seems.
So take home my failed wishes and dreams.
Golden and growing red hair.
She's showing that I'm alone, leftover bones, not coming home.
Perfect, she'll see a husband not knowing that I'm alone.
My bones are breaking.
The take home isn't quite what it seems.
So take home my failed wishes and dreams.
You're going to hate her just as much as her mom hates me
When I raise her to only love me.

Mood Swings

You call me up when she was gone and you've got nothing more to lose than another point of view.
While I'm into helping you, your love is strange. You can't commit to walking away.
There's nothing more important than taking away the tape that keeps the hate in place.
I don't really want to go out like this, but I know I've got to move soon.
I don't really want to go out like this, but I know I've got a break from your mood swings.
I don't want to know where you're coming from.
There's not a war that goes on in my heart.
I'll read it in a book that I bought from a yard sale.
You're always taking this too far, love.
I think this started as a conversation of silences between all the sarcasm in the car, love.
What were you waiting for, an invitation about coming clean for me?
