Hard stuffed animals Hard to swallow not to follow me Follow me home I talk in my sleep Share my secrets with dirty sheets Did I say that out loud? There's not too much I can say you don't already know Limp plans, active hands Scary drawings in the closet Underneath stacks of magazines There's not too much I can say you don't already know There's not too much I'll tell you you don't already know Sleeping hand in a bowl of lukewarm water Look around, hear the sights, see the sounds, watch a movie Watch a movie A documentary Punch a hole in my TV Look around, hear the sights, see the sounds, drink a 40 Drink a 40 One for you and one for me Good old OE Good OE Look around, break into your neighbor's house Steal a couch Sit on the front lawn, wait for the cops to come Make a List of things we could do Then look at all the things we could do

Movie 03:44
It was a half-baked joke You crack a smile But without wrinkles under your eyes Just look at yah, and notice the Lack of wrinkles under your eyes So pass the time, and pass the wine And I'll meet you in the bathroom line Exchanging stares in our underwear Now close the door, it's party time [Chorus] Real Groovy, like a sci-fi movie Real dumb, like a low budget rom-com Real life, Jesus Christ! There is nothing in the air tonight And I'm getting real sick of this shit A little stoned, we take a walk I know that I look best in the dark You're ugly, but I'm uglier Let's draw draw self-portraits in the dirt You know your life will never be A buddy cop comedy with a strong female lead [Chorus] It's not nice, there's been a murder in the garden It's alright, it's just a passed out pedestrian A Horror flick on the nose For all the stupid songs you wrote It's alright
3.
Animals 04:53
[Chorus] Keep your thoughts to yourself Your hands off the glass Just like the animals Keep your limbs in the ride Your teeth in your mouth Just like the animals, just like the animals You'll scare the animals, scare the animals Bummer, a bummer, an extended summer Like thinking you've made friends with an absolute stranger Fine, I guess I'll talk to you about your savior Bummer, a bummer, a mid distance runner As in I make it half way to my next spot Before I stop and throw up [Chorus] Worn long johns and a tee-shirt for six fucking days I'm bored, I'll count all the boards in the floor It's boring as hell, you should be here That's a long note to hold I could go out to your slumber party But I don't feel like dressing up pretty I could go out to your slumber party But I hate all of your favorite movies I could go out to your slumber party But I don't know you and you don't know me I could go out to your slumber party But I don't know you Thoughts to yourself Your hands off the glass You'll scare the animals Scare the animals Your limbs in the ride Teeth in your mouth Just like the animals Like the animals
4.
Tangerine 04:20
Unwrap the tangerine Take responsibility For the mess I'll leave Leave for you to clean Hear that building call Draw your face right on the wall With my hall wall chalk But the Rain will wash it off [Chorus 1] Put your passion in your pocket for a while Remember how to breath Watch it all resolve itself without your help It's stressful to free It's freeing to be stressed Will you please leave the room You know I love you baby But your hogging all the air And I can't think in here [Chorus 2] I know that it's your party But I'm crying anyway [Chorus 1] [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] I know that it's.. It's stressful to be free It's freeing to be stressed
5.
Half Asleep 04:41
Waste my days Half asleep, Oh no And I don't try, no I just don't try at all It's getting so old Like they say, no/know Out of the fire, into the frying pan [Chorus] But I decided it's not fair And I won't be there Sometime soon And I am counting up and down Lying around Come and go We die even though There's so much left to learn Our arms fall Off and we grow out in both directions Often giving more affection Often finding a reason to actually fucking care [Chorus] Smudged perspective, clean my glasses When I see my friends, and they've all left town I'll cry I'll cry [Chorus] You don't need me You can call somebody else And it's alright Often wondered, will we all go to hell? Often wondered, when we all go to hell Who will be here?

I realize, my body doesn't work quite right I'm not surprised, well actually I am But not by the fact that it doesn't work quite right But more-so, by the fact that it works at all I know I've got lungs Because they ache a bit I know I've got a nose Becuase I'm constantly annoyed by the fact that I can't breath through it [PRE-Chorus] I know I've got lungs Because they ache a bit I know I'm meant to be and artist Because I feel like shit All the time It rained all night, and the fan was on Perfect for sleeping Perfect for catching my death Nauseous and a bit out of breath [PRE-Chorus] [Chorus] I act like dead weight Because I love you Rain on your parade When I'm out in the cold Bored of feeling physically old I'm hyper aware that my jaw has weight And it's always an effort to hold it up I'm hyper aware of your tongue in my mouth The feeling I get from holding my breath for too long Hold me, hold me Hold my jaw [Chorus] I can taste my own mouth I can smell my own nose I can feel my own fingertips [PRE-Chorus]
7.
Gardens 04:20
You say that when it comes to fear of dying That you're a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 And you say craft beers are pretentious Let's make some friends we'll never talk to again Do you remember the Alamo? Because I sure don't Give Texas back to Mexico But you know they won't Yeah, they sure won't [Chorus] So many things are beautiful I don't know where to start and Cement could crack your skull So I'll pass out in the garden Alphabetic movie collection What a living room Step outside for a lucky strike Strike one, strike two [Chorus] So many things are beautiful So many things are beautiful I will pass out I will pass out in the garden So many things are beautiful So many things are beautiful
8.
[Chorus] I'm not who you thought I was Just yesterday I'm not who you thought I was Just paper mâché Take a nap to combat a cold And call me after work It's dead, it died I murdered my pride Please call me after work [Chorus] Quiet party, cocktail dress Fancy finger food I'll wait 'til the orchestras done To dance around the room I'm not okay Do you know what I'm made of? My small intestine can stretch across your studio apartment I'm not who you thought I was My small intestine can stretch across your studio apartment Do you know what I'm made of? My small intestine can stretch across your studio apartment I'm not who you thought I was I'm not gonna stretch across

I've heard a sunset The audible gasp when the audience dies of excitement I've got coffee table books They support my cup of coffee quite nicely But I don't read, no I don't read anymore Feeling fragment, not quite a sentence One long winded way to say I'm fucked But I'll save myself some time if I don't think too much Cut and remove all these stupid organs They've potential, they can do something more rewarding Bodily autonomy it's killing me to see you feel this way But I will give you space, I will give you space If you'll bury me with the parts of myself that I say I hate I am a cup on a coaster And you, you're on my nerves Nervous, I've never been another person But I can see the appeal You can relate, there are parts of me you hate I can relate, there are parts of me I hate Use it Or I swear to god I'll fucking lose it Whats keeping you alive Lie, Liable, your guilt is undeniable You've got one day to decide Well, I mean if thats alright I'd hate to make you do something rash But I suggest you get off your ass And jump around or walk downtown I don't care, just give me a call Once you're done doing nothing at all
10.
Navy Blue 03:09
Chorus] Same room, Same view I'm sorry baby you're so blue But navy sure looks good on you It goes: cold toes, old shoes I know there's hope for me and you Cause happy always comes in twos Clean up, run a mile in my Reeboks Sort of random brand to name drop I don't even wear those shoes And just detox, all the shit that you don't want All of that should just get gone Until theres only you [Chorus] Come home, call it a night and go You're looking so day-glow You need some sleep And you know, how I've been loving you so Why would I just stop now? You need to trust me Me and you, navy blue You need to trust me Trust me [Chorus]
11.
I'll watch the pot Hands on the clock I know that everything is inevitable Pull up a chair for the boiling over I'm feeling weird Backwards and queer But I know that my diet of motor oil Will keep me going when I get too old to rely solely On the energy my body produces Old is relative to the people you're with And the things that you've lived through I'm relatively far from the earth I used to wish that my cells would stop reproducing with myself But now I'm content with my bodily functions Because positive thinking isn't lying to yourself Lies are relative to your narrowing sense of what is real and fake I wish I had a little more perspective But I'm relatively close to you Theres only one month left until you sleep in my bed But there is a month and one day Until you slip through my sweaty hands Until then I'll take care of myself Like I take care of my car I'll ask somebody else To do it for me Do it for me Would you do it for me?
12.
Inflation 03:14
Who cares what you have to say? You are reaching far beyond your reach, man Who cares what you have to say? You don't speak for anyone that I know I know, I know I am too heavy for the fireside I know, I know I am too heavy for the fireside chat Chop wood for a later date Theres no telling when you're gonna need that Info at the back of the parade We've got pamphlets, flyers, and statistics Big feet, Big foot Grow up and terrorize a tiny town Big feet, Big food Grow up and terrorize a tiny town I know, I know I am too heavy for the fireside I know, I know I am too heavy for the fireside chat [Chorus] I know how to float on my back Lifejacket, empty bathtub Look back on what you have just wrote Something slanted, it is not worth reading Small cup, at least it is half full I have prepared more than I have eaten Eat up, Eat up You are gonna need the energy Eat up, Eat up You are gonna need the energy I know, I know I am too heavy for the fireside I know, I know I am too heavy for the fireside chat I know inflation I know the housing market I've got a firm handshake Constant eye contact [Chorus]
13.
Sun goes down And it gets dark around me Half drawn shades I can't see anything To properly lie to anyone else You should start with yourself [Chorus] I love you like cigarette breaks Calm me down and help with shaking You scare me But I can scare myself just as easily To give love to anyone else You should start with yourself [Chorus] I love you like cigarette breaks Think about you at my work place
