lyrics

Mother take me to the mountains
I am old enough to know
I’ve been wondering weary naked
Barefoot on a travels road
I close my eyes
I am afraid
I melt this snow
I curse this grave

4 am
Fast asleep
Vision of you and me
Nathanial Hawthore
A Wisconsin beach
Good at beginnings
Concise and moral end
But we get a little muddied in the middle, don’t we
Get a little muddied in the middle, I see
Danger up a ways
A denser storm cloud than all our darkest days
And I’m tugging at your shirt sleeve
Surly you’ll see
That I’m tugging art your shirt sleeve, darling
Find shelter with me
And you ask me to stay
And I say
Noway
No way
No
Way

I need a miracle and miracle a miracle again
This time i’m sure he’ll let me down
I need a miracle a miracle a miracle again
This time i’m sure he’ll let me drown
While he says

Do not mind the bathtub

I will cast these bones
They always lead me true
But I’ll grind them to dust
If they
Say I’m not for you
Forget me nots
In an empty plot
I’m not one to be told what to do
Set the field on fire
When they say i’m not for
Say i’m not for
You know I’m not for you.

You’ve got me pegged
Got me pegged
By those words you said
You said I’m crazy, so I’m crazy
And you’re right
I know I know I know I know I know I know
I said - I know what I am

I’m difficult
I’m difficult
I’m much too much to be
Trusted in what I want or be
Spoken to too reasonably
You said listen
So I listened
So i am still listening
I’m not as pure as you inferred
Soap in your listerine
But I
Make you
Believe

I will cast these bones
They always lead me true
But I’ll grind them to dust
If they
Say I’m not for you
Forget-me-nots
In an empty plot
I’m not one to be told what to do
Set the field on fire
When they say i’m not for
Say i’m not for
You said I’m not for you.

Hyperventilate
Hyperventilate
Through jealousy
Like steroid steam
Just relax your lungs
Just relax your lungs
And breath

Just say you love me or go home
Say you need me or else
Leave me alone
900 miles on the same road
Your solipsistic summer self
And your syrup in my bones-
