Call It What It Is All in all I’ve been so lonely I remember everything Trying to sing the things I can’t say Out of doors makes me afraid I’ve been loathe to call it what it is It’s a brand new disease Shake my arms until they fall off I’m a pile wet and soft I gave it everything but everything Always comes up short All in all I’ve been so lonely
2.
FLOWER’S WOUND Sometimes my mind is a pillar of smoke My hands are whispers at the back of my throat Flowers bloom from the flower’s womb Flowers grow from the flower’s wound The flowers they sway The flowers they swoon The flower’s they grow from the flower’s wound My tongue is a servant to the kingdom of sighs Slugs houl the moon across the skin of my eyes

Sad Sad Larry Do you wonder if you’ll change the memories If you think about them too much Are you worrying about the plans of enemies All the old friends who knew stuff Do you try to make her dream of you Do you have a linear mind that’s glitchy Prone to confusion and rapture Is it feeling perilous in the city Everything’s moving faster Do you try to make her dream of you You’re in a future unlike the past (That doesn’t resemble the past) You’ve seen a shooter out in the tall grass

Psyche Out 02:54
PSYCHED OUT Highways of mind Eating all my time Walking in an endless line Nothing left behind I’ll beat this dream in the morning I sneak up on this dream without warning I will Beat this dream in the morning for you Broken down scooter I swear I saw a shooter There’s a witch and I can’t mute her Or am I her suitor
5.
Brokenhearted Surgery Don’t ask me to change my mind I’m doing fine all by myself I’ve got no love now To keep me warm in these long winter nights Maybe I’ll pilot this plane Straight to the ground Hollow promises holding hostages Burning memories cryptic messages There’s always some urgency I need some brokenhearted surgery Brokenhearted surgery
6.
Smashing Marbles With Bricks Someone said I was a robot but I didn’t like that I’m not no mastermind of criminal enterprise Hear how this human heart knocks at its cage A little bit underused a whole lot afraid If things go sideways I won’t mind I’ve had my head cocked for years So confused with all these tricky synonyms I miss you like an amputee misses limbs I’m no optical illusion though I’m confusing As far as fates might go this one sure blows You talk so much the words lose all their meaning Dig deep in this hollow head find what’s redeeming
7.
LOVE WAREHOUSE I’ll Drag it into the sunlight I’ll Steal it from the night My love for you’s a weapon I wield against my foes Watch my armies steppin Listen to my flows I’ll Drag it into the sunlight I’ll Steal it from the night We’ll drown them with our wisdom Grab them by throat Take their guns and kiss ‘em Make their bodies float

A Most Curious Clue Walking through my dream last night Past the house where I once lived Through the fields and stone wall Everything started to shift My dead uncles were drinking Their hair fully restored The sun split in two pieces Features grew deformed A most curious clue about me and you I tried to find a way to bring it into the day If I can break my own heart why would I need you It’s always disconcerting how I grow see through Floating up into the sky I felt my breath grow short Suddenly I saw the ocean Things started to contort There were monsters in the clouds All the stars came unglued I was trying to control them So they’d land on you A most curious clue about me and you I tried to find a way to bring it into the day
9.
ALL DAY TRIAL Flying the draw Of the sky’s full sprawl No use crying and No use whining Our dumbstruck past The broadcast and shining
10.
This is a Secret Transmission Lately I’ve been missing how I was before she died Someone said they saw it in my eyes I know the difference between lonely and alone Get my analyst on the phone I can’t conceive it I don’t believe All this trying to deceive myself My dreams have never been quite lofty enough that I should give a fuck (I know success is mostly luck) Hanging out at home with all my monkeys making noise Doing all I can to avoid (Everybody leaves me so annoyed) I can’t conceive it I don’t believe All this trying to deceive myself All this fake medicine stacked in tiny piles It’s really me that I’ve reviled Wondering how everything has gone so awry The light is dim and so am I

Erase Me 02:28
ERASE ME Sometimes I’m invisible I move through through walls I touch you on the shoulder With my cold cold hands Sometimes a summer breeze Winding through the tree I try to move what you can’t see Isn’t that enough Isn’t that enough Sometimes I’m a forgotten name The space you try to fill Tease me with your hoard of wards Erase me with your pills Aren’t I enough Aren’t I enough
12.
The Big Deal Delivery Company My head under water This river has swelled I’m talking with fishes Hoping they’ll tell My head in the clouds This air gets so thin Tell me you angels Are you open Let the light leak longingly May the stars spell out my name Watch the way the world will waver Throw my ashes in the flame I know I’m no picnic Nigh on impossible Pack me up like porcelain Leave me at the hospital Don’t tell me I’m a scarecrow Drag me into that field Birds pick at these old bones Let me lay till I’ve healed
