Storm Clouds
02:12
|
|||
The tornado sirens have stopped their howling
The frogs are happy and I cannot sleep
The cats for now desist from meowing
The naughty dogs will never earn their keep
Never earn their keep, never earn their keep, never earn their keep
Storm clouds are fogging up my mind
I can’t leave the day behind
I wish I could just unwind
Please Mr.Sandman be kind
I lie awake and think about my job
Dreaming of other ways to earn my keep
The rain keeps falling there’s floods predicted
How high will the frogs have to leap?
Will the frogs have to leap, will the frogs have to leap, will the frogs
have to leap
Storm clouds are fogging up my mind
I can’t leave the day behind
I wish I could just unwind
Please Mr.Sandman be kind

Anxious In Love
04:11
|
|||
I’m always anxious that I’m gonna get cheated on
My anxiety riles me up and for the door I run
I fall in love and then I try to make it all end
It happens every time it’s just a question of when
I hate it when we fight, when my heart starts beating fast, I think
about all the cheaters I’ve been in love with in the past
I know they aren’t you and I just want my head to stop, I’m trying to
get better at this, I’m not going to give up
I’m so anxious in love, or am I in love with being anxious
I’m so anxious in love, or am I in love with being anxious
Is there someone in the background trying to mess with my shit
Someone who sees my happiness and wants to rob me of it
I’m never ready for my heart to be torn from my chest
I’ll never trust anyone not to stop loving me less
I hate it when we fight, when my heart starts beating fast, I think
about all the cheaters I’ve been in love with in the past
I know they aren’t you and I just want my head to stop, I’m trying to
get better at this, I’m not going to give up
I’m so anxious in love, or am I in love with being anxious
I’m so anxious in love, or am I in love with being anxious

See Ya Later Nashville
03:23
|
|||
We’ve taken down all the art from the walls
I don’t recognise where we live at all
I liked it better when this wasn’t the next big place
Now it’s getting harder to find a friendly face
A friendly face, a friendly face
It’s true that moving won’t fix anything
I’ll still be lacking self-confidence and self-esteem
I just think my time is up here and it’s time to move on
So see ya later Nashville we’ve had a good run
Had a good run
All the new houses are built skinny and tall
Our names are missing on all the creative roll calls
It’s time to pack up and spread our wings
Go on a new adventure with a few less things
A few less things, a few less things
It’s true that moving won’t fix anything
I’ll still be lacking self-confidence and self-esteem
I just think my time is up here and it’s time to move on
So see ya later Nashville we’ve had a good run

Band Aid
02:29
|
|||
I pulled the band aid off
It gave me a dry retch cough
What we had was not enough
I had to call the whole thing off
Life is a fast spinning top
Love fades you’re just left spinning
All you’ve known you had to drop
To forge a new beginning
I’m a toy you can drop on it’s head
I won’t quit risking my heart till I’m dead
I’m so glad I was set free
I resurrected who I used to be
Life is a fast spinning top
Love fades you’re just left spinning
All you’ve known you had to drop
To forge a new beginning
Now I’ve met who I was looking for
I know now I needed to walk out the door
Pulling off the band aid removed the false scabs
So I could bleed freely and not just settle for something drab
Life is a fast spinning top
Love fades you’re just left spinning
All you’ve known you had to drop
To forge a new beginning

Fishing
02:06
|
|||
I’m going out fishing
I’m gonna be just fine
Just what will pull up
On the end of this line
Will I pull in a big one
So heavy it pulls me in
Will I drown in this small pool
Did I forget how to swim
I’m fishing yeah just fishing
I keep wishing yeah to stop fishing
I’m fishing yeah just fishing
I keep wishing yeah to stop fishing
I have a hook in my mouth
I bite down on the bait
The line is reeling me in
My head is on the plate
I just need to find the river
I need to escape
Too long I’ve been the trickster
Softly biting on the bait
I’m fishing yeah just fishing
I keep wishing yeah to stop fishing
I’m fishing yeah just fishing
I keep wishing yeah to stop fishing

Black Out
02:36
|
|||
I’ve had battles and setbacks believe me or not
Life hasn’t always been so crash hot
Like lots of others my childhood wasn’t great
I’ve made a lot of stupid mistakes
But I try not to hang it all up
I try to keep a smile and act tough
I get nervous every time I go out
I try not to get drunk and black out
I try not to cut absolutely everyone off
Heading toward my depression like an airborne sloth
I don’t like where I’m headed but I have to grit my teeth
Try to bury my sadness and doubt down real deep
But I try not to hang it all up
I try to keep a smile and act tough
I get nervous every time I go out
I try not to get drunk and black out

Confused & Restless
02:36
|
|||
I’m living cheaply but I know I’m spending too much
Credit scores, bank accounts and taxes, isn’t surviving enough?
I’ve been in driving in circles trying to find a place to rest
Living life out of suitcases hasn’t been the best
Confused and restless, the search I’m on is endless
I’ll work with whatever I find, leaving useless shit behind
Confused and restless, the search I’m on is endless
I’ll work with whatever I find, leaving useless shit behind
My residency status has been in question for the past six years
My sexuality has always been in question so just call me queer
I’m always expecting to be greeted with a slap in the face
It's a challenge to find a safe place to take up space
Confused and restless, the search I’m on is endless
I’ll work with whatever I find, leaving useless shit behind
Confused and restless, the search I’m on is endless
I’ll work with whatever I find, leaving useless shit behind

Bad Day
03:05
|
|||
Yeah I’m having a bad day, some dude cut me off on the freeway
Yeah I’m having a bad day, some dude at the gym pushed me out
of his way
Yeah I’m having a bad day, I woke up this morning and realized it
was rape
Yeah I’m having a bad day, the nightmares I’m having won’t go
away
Bad Day, bad day
To be a woman is to be afraid
We are afraid of men everyday
Don’t tell me to smile more on the street
You don’t know what I hide when I grit my teeth
Yeah she’s having a bad day, she rain into the door frame again
today
Yeah she’s having a bad day, her husband won’t let her out to play
Yeah she’s having a bad day, she cleans up her husband’s mess
and she’ll never get paid
Yeah she’s having a bad day, her husband strangled her to death
in a fit of rage
Bad day, bad day
To be a woman is to be afraid
We are afraid of men everyday
Don’t tell me to smile more on the street
You don’t know what I hide when I grit my teeth

No Seriously
02:55
|
|||
We’ve been driving, so many miles, over the past few months
Life suddenly grew, so serious and all we do now is run
I don’t think, I’ve ever been this tired in all my life
I’m sorry it’s been so serious love, thank fuck that you’re my wife
No seriously, you say when I joke too much
No seriously, I’m sorry it’s all been such a rush
No seriously, I can’t wait till we’ve finished this move
No seriously, I wouldn’t have made it without you
Chicken finger fist fight, was out best road trip band name, that we
made up
After all these road trips, we can put our feet up and life won’t be
so tough
Our car stereo, getting stolen in Detroit, wasn’t the worst thing ever
Now we just travel, wearing our head phones and it works out
even better
No seriously, you say when I joke too much
No seriously, I’m sorry it’s all been such a rush
No seriously, I can’t wait till we’ve finished this move
No seriously, I wouldn’t have made it without you

Shark Bait
02:53
|
|||
There are some great big sharks out there
Ready to swallow you whole, eat you rare
The gaps, the holes, the hunger they must fill
You are nameless, mindless food they must kill
Float as best as you can
Who knows when you’ll find land
You’ll make it through the breaking waves
To smoother sailing days
You can’t stand in their way once their sights are set
They only see that their needs need to be met
Try not to bleed out when they take their first bite
Just try to fight back, try as hard as you like
Float as best as you can
Who knows when you’ll find land
You’ll make it through the breaking waves
To smoother sailing days
They will bang on their chest and swish their tail
Acting like the typical aggressive alpha male
You’ll be frozen in fear and you won’t think straight
That’s how we all become the perfect bait
Float as best as you can
Who knows when you’ll find land
You’ll make it through the breaking waves
To smoother sailing days

Grandma
04:00
|
|||
My grandma says you can always find fun at home
There’s interesting ways to look at wherever you may roam
My grandma also writes me letters about how I should have a man
I never write back because I just don't’ think she’ll ever understand
Grandma, stop sending me shitty letters
Grandma, they don’t make anything better
Grandma, stop judging me from the outside
Grandma, the gays don’t have to hide
I have great memories of grandma’s shed in her backyard
When I came out of the closet it made everything too hard
I visited her in hospital and she told me I had changed
Since then she just send me letters that make me more estranged
Grandma, stop sending me shitty letters
Grandma, they don’t make anything better
Grandma, stop judging me from the outside
Grandma, the gays don’t have to hide

The Unplanned
03:05
|
|||
We’ve been living in vacation rentals waiting for something to drop
3 dogs, 3 cats and a fish in a minivan to our next stop
We made temporary friends getting drunk at an Irish Pub in
Queens
I had the worst allergic reaction of my life when we were up in
Ossining
We’ve made so many plans that haven’t worked out how we
expected
We’ve made so many plans that haven’t worked out how we
expected
We just work with the unplanned
Try to make the most of wherever we land
We’ll keep it together somehow where we stand
One day we’ll be living what we have planned
We were told not to touch each other on the face in a bar in
Peekskill
I found a wooded area with the dogs where I could imagine getting
killed
Next we ended up in Malverne and our spirits were feeling beyond
low
Just a few more weeks of other people’s houses and we’ll have a
place to call our own
We’ve made so many plans that haven’t worked out how we
expected
We’ve made so many plans that haven’t worked out how we
expected
We just work with the unplanned
Try to make the most of wherever we land
We’ll keep it together somehow where we stand
One day we’ll be living what we have planned
