Lid On
01:50
|

If you'd learned to put the lid on
I'd float round your aquarium.
But you took it off then,
And I feared there was nothing I could say.
You never seemed to find the time to take a break.
Works until the crack of dawn,
He can't see there's something wrong.
Never seemed to take a break,
There was nothing I could say.
He'd tried holding, he'd tried holding.
He'd tried holding, he'd tried holding.
Na na na oooh ahhh oooh
If you keep on watching forever,
Nonstop pot doesn't cook now.
But you put it off then.
And I feared there was nothing I could say.
You never seemed to find the time to take a break.
Works until the crack of dawn,
He can't see there's something wrong.
Never seemed to take a break,
There was nothing I could say.
He'd tried holding, he'd tried holding.
He'd tried holding, he'd tried holding.
Boiled up to, over the brim top.
If I simmer, pull me quick down.
Na na na na na na na oooh

Frayed
04:46
|

I nibble, I gnaw
Frayed fingers, I’m flawed
Whatever, I did it again
Tried the polish, and a pen
Finger puppet from way back when
Self-soothing
I did it again (Self-soothing)
I did it again (Self-soothing)
I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it again
Will I be stewing in this head forever?
I ruptured, I wrought
I’m a fucking fidgeting fraud
Whatever
I did it again
I know I’m not the only one forever
Picking skin apart
Picking skin apart
Picking skin apart
Feeling antsy, a lot
Sitting still is a definite flop
Whatever
I did it again
I may be battling this forever
I did it again
Picking skin apart
Picking skin apart
Picking skin apart
Picking skin apart
I trim and I chomp
I trim and I chomp
I can’t wait I’ve gone insane
I can’t wait I’ve gone insane
It’s a feeling, it’s real, and I can’t explain
It’s a feeling, it’s real, and I can’t explain
Why won’t you swat my hand away?
Why won’t you swat my hand away?
Why won’t you swat my hand away?
Why won’t you swat my hand away?

The Comforter Comes
03:45
|
|||
The Comforter comes down to the ground,
Spreads death all around like a dutch oven shroud.
It’s like a soft blanket, that sucks all the air,
Yeah it sucks all the air outta, sucks all the air outta…
Your big body pillow pressing on ribs
Til your big fatty drips on the grill.
Obedience.
Obedience.
Obedient, obedient, obedient, obedient.
It filled up her basket without asking,
and she slapped mayonnaise on that egg-y malaise.
It’s like she blurred the lines, and she undermined,
And she sucked all the air outta sucked all the air outta…
The Comforter comes down to the ground.
The Comforter comes down to the ground.
Obedience.
Obedience.
Obedient, obedient, obedient, obedient.
The Comforter comes down to the ground.
The Comforter comes down to the ground.
The Comforter has been disavowed,
‘Cause its message of love put people in the ground.
And the secrets out, and I’m stuck in a rage
And I’m poppin’ them pills ‘cause I’m at that stage.
Got no cushion, got no mold,
There ain’t no pushing any claim to my soul.
Got no cushion, got no mold,
There ain’t no pushing me back to the fold.
Gonna make it, can’t take it, I’m too tired to fake it.
There ain’t no pushing me back to the fold.
There ain’t no pushin’ me back to the fold.
Obedience.

Boundary

Youuuuu, ahhhh
When I was young I didn’t get it, get it
Oh, I didn’t know what had been said
I only noticed you got all the attention
Didn’t know about your loss and rejection
I didn’t get why your anger festered
Didn’t know the truth when I jetted
So, my priorities have changed
No longer let me be erased
A Boundary
So my priorities have changed
No longer let me be erased
A Boundary
Boundary
Ohhhh I didn’t know didn’t know didn’t know
Ohhhh I didn’t know didn’t know didn’t know
Ohhhh I didn’t know didn’t know didn’t know
When I was young I didn’t get it, get it
Oh, I didn’t know what had been said
I know you feared I wouldn’t love you
But now I hope you know I love you too (Waking up, Waking up)
I never realized what happened to you
Now I empathize, I’m right here for you (Waking up, Waking up)
Oh I didn’t know what’s in your head (Waking up, Waking up)
Oh I didn’t know what had been said (Waking up, Waking up)
So, my priorities have changed
No longer let me be erased
A boundary
Didn’t know, didn’t know, didn’t know
Waking up, waking up
So my priorities have changed
No longer let me be erased
A boundary
So my priorities have changed
No longer let me be erased
A boundary
So my priorities have changed
No longer let me be erased
A boundary
So my priorities have changed
No longer let me be erased
A boundary

Telephone In The Tomb

Took no thought, for her life,
No longer a mom or wife.
Revelator, she could rise up (there’s a telephone in the tomb).
Revelator, she could rise up (there’s a telephone in the tomb).
Revelator, she could rise up (there’s a telephone in the tomb).
Hey momma momma, I am home now.
Hey momma momma, I am home now.
Medicine is bad, she said,
So fix your problems in your head.
Revelator, she could rise up.
Revelator, she could rise up (There’s a telephone in the tomb).
Revelator, she could rise up (There’s a telephone in the tomb).
Hey momma momma, I am home now.

I see that everything has changed,
And your life’s been rearranged.
You couldn’t be the same.
Your loss was a gain.
I once asked you for a pet,
but the thought just made you sweat.
My surly rodents brought regret.
Now, when Lola wants to play...
You say, “stay.”
I forgive you
Finally forgive you
Yeah, I forgive you
Finally forgive you, uh huh
I said, let’s order Asian in,
But much to my chagrin
You said, I like Italian,
Now you swim…
in the hot sauce.
I forgive you
Finally forgive you
Yeah, I forgive you
Finally forgive you, uh huh
You said travel’s not your thing,
And you won’t accompany
Me or anyone anywhere.
Then you went on a cruise.
I forgive you
Finally forgive you
Yeah, I forgive you
Finally forgive you, uh huh
Thanks for calling me.
Glad you’re not alone.
Thanks for calling now,
I’m glad you’re not alone.
I see that everything has changed
And your life’s been rearranged,
I forgive you
I forgive you
I forgive you
Finally forgive you, uh huh
I forgive you
I forgive you
Finally forgive you
Finally forgive you
Finally forgive you, uh huh

Blue eyes
Blue eyes
Wind in the trees
And your ghost in the leaves.
They threw all of your stuff away,
All the rest I have tried to save.
I am sorry we didn’t remember you,
And I am sorry we left you.
Yeah we left you, left you under that tree,
And I’m searching for, yeah I’m searching for
Blue Eyes
Blue Eyes
Blue Eyes
Cut by cut and blow by blow,
You will never get to grow.
Met a boy one day,
Had your eyes, had to say.
Met a boy one day,
He was about your age.
They told me you’d saved someone, but
I have been searching
and I cannot seem to find your big blue eyes.
