Shimmy Kimmy, move away
Dance a lot and float away
You can make it through it
He's abusive and we knew it hey
Don't answer all the in laws calls
Pack a bag I'll help you fold
The letters we've been writing
you've been scared of what you're hiding hey
Hey little sister hey
You watch the TV with your eyes anywhere but the screen
Hey little sister hey
The Mickey Mouse Club doesn't make much sense if you can't hear over the screams
Shimmy Kimmy, move away
Dance a lot and float away
You can make it through it
He's abusive we can prove it, if you want
Kimmy, stand up or I'll shoot
Have I become what you fear?
We're all trying to help you
What good does this do to you?
What good does this do?
(we know you love him, you love him! who else could love you so black and blue?!)

Boo!

Surround yourself with friends who tell you what you wanna hear
Control what's in your body and controls what's in your ear
I know,
I'm not too bright or stable either
But I control what's in my body and control what's in my fears
I open up my mouth my teeth have all come out
Passed out on the couch
I fear the world above- also the world below
Nowhere else to go but forward, slow
Surround yourself with friends who tell you what you wanna hear
Control what's in your body and controls what's in your ear
I know,
I'm not too bright or stable either
But I control what's in my body and control what's in my fears
Boo
Don't let it scare you
Don't let it scare you

He's An Ogre
04:46

He's got a knack for the pipe
But I let him stay here all night
I'd never let myself betray
The code we made
Yeah, the code we made
I slept with him on the couch
Two figures reminded how small we were
This time I'm taking it slow
The clock fell off the wall
Do you feel how time is small?
Do you hear me whisper in your ear
"I love you?"
Oh boy, I love you
The tapestry burns and the picture book's torn
History's boring, your past is upsetting
He's an ogre, a bitter friend
I plan on loving him 'til our end
Though its not very likely I should see him stay
I have him for the night
I have him for the day

Psalm Zero
04:12
|
|||
|
Delight in the offering I bring to you
We waltz in the orchard while you write my name
I only move for woodwind's blow
I only sing what you compose
You left my temper in the barracks
My sadness died with the front line
The men who died in your name ran through with the spears of your fame
I do not question this now for now I am safe
I am safe in my privileged space, I sing your grace
With my crooked face
Psalm zero is one of some deep down crazy
Erased from the past
It's shamed from his story
Who is it I serve?
Who is it I pray to?
The Wizard of Oz is laughing to my tune

The Fool

Curtis spelled my name wrong
River of eyeballs has three v's and five e's
Five minutes 'til my shows on
My voice could escape through my ears or my shattered knees
I dreamed of this moment
Will it be like a virginity?
Inebriated, heavy breathing
Hopefully, its more long lasting
I'm too young to make blameless art
Over under, stitching parts
Selling my soul like the rest of the crew
Write my heart out like a fool
I'm too dumb to look to the dead
Over under, flipping cards
Wielding the jester, I act like him too
Write my heart out like a fool
Turn a christmas tree
Light up the house at the end of the block
Silence all your cell phones
Give me a moment to save this marriage
Curtis turn the lights down
Give me a gun and some ammo to shoot
Once I've blown my brains out
Refund the tickets and go call the news
I'm too young to make blameless art
Over under, stitching parts
Selling my soul like the rest of the crew
Write my heart out like a fool
I'm too dumb to look to the dead
Over under, flipping cards
Wielding the jester, I act like him too
Write my heart out like a fool

Heaven

You said you'd try it and you said you'd like it
Bleaching the carpet
I bled
My bad
You say you're tired, I unplug your wires
I watch you sleeping
Drifting and dreaming
Drifting and dreaming
You said you'd try it and you said you'd like it
You said you'd try it and you said you'd like it
Cardboard brown boxes and little disguises
Hair dye in sink drains
I'm Jerry, you're Jane
Who would suspect such a close family member?
Who will remember my name next December?
[does he know that we miss him?]
[does he miss mama's cooking?]
[does he know that we'll find him?]
[does he think much of heaven?]
...
I'll get in the car with you
Just take me somewhere new

Lust

Peter's under covers telling me what I should do with my own body
The guilt is sitting in my stomach
Please don't tell my mom
(Peter, Peter)
Peter knows a lot about the fruits and pleasures we can get just by ourselves
He taught me well
Open up your phone and show me what I've never seen before
Go lock the door
(Peter, Peter)
Peter has a girlfriend and they're getting married soon
But I'm still in that room back home
Still ten years old
Still ten years old
Still ten years old
Still ten years old
(Peter, Peter, oh Peter)

Poker Night
03:16
|

|
Into the lake, I save no face
Diving in silk, I leave no trace
Okay
You take my clothes folded by the water
Laugh and run back home to mother and father
Okay
I swim back to the water's edge
Slip on rocks and bump my head
I float back into the pearl ocean
I should've bet a smaller portion
It took all two hours
To realize that my dip had gone on too long
Grab your flashlights and search the water
Still nothing but floating debris and flowers
Hours

My Balloon

Glad I never saw the body
Grieving has become your hobby
She watches over us, I promise
She left notes to guide us
Honesty,
Don't blame yourself, baby
She was hopeful til she realized life's a deep hole
Down a well
Not herself in those last days
Now she smiles from pictures frames that line the hallways
She with you always
My balloon floats to heaven
My balloon floats to heaven
I wish I never left that night
I should've held you tight
And brought you back down to earth, love
Will you come back down to earth, love?
My balloon floats to heaven...
