I got used
To being by my self
Being an only child
Spent the days
Quietly
Inside my head
But don’t worry
I found my friends
In books and pens
In VHS tapes
And cassettes
Im not alone
Although some-
Times I wished
I had somebody else
To play with
Or talk to
Along came he
I got him when
I turned five
This little guy
Inanimate
But oh so kind
And he was mine
(All mine)
A broken eye
Black as the sky
On a moonless night
Memories old
Like polaroids
Forgotten toys

There There

Whispering your name
I’ll do it this time
I want you to know
Instantly regret it
I’ll say I’m fine
But I want it to show
And you wanna know
There there
Are you feeling better now?
Holding your hand tight
I’ll say it out loud
Please don’t let go
Bloodshot eyes and snow
As the sun goes down
I need it to show
Yeah I need you to know
There there
Are you feeling better now?

Cactuses are easy
I like them alot
Talking
To them
Monologues are funny
When they’re all you’ve got
Talk to
Myself
Empty seashell
Comforting cell
A silent doorbell
Seems to fit me well
Cooking, eating, cleaning
Rinse and repeat
Go for
A walk
Sleeping, never dreaming
It’s bittersweet
Named my
Pet rock
Empty seashell
Painted pastel
Silent stairwell
Distant church bells
Empty seashell

Seeds

The cross you bear
Your bedtime prayer
Jesus loves
Your credit score
The seeds you sow
Will save your soul
You heard it on
A tv show
(And) you donate more
Hoping for
The seeds to grow
You pay their rent
You buy them
A private jet
The pastor yells
Amen
(But) your sickness grows
So you pay them

Linger
03:16

|
You make me sick
Promises
(And) bitterness
You make me stick
I stick around
You don’t forget
(You’re) right on time
Comfortable
I keep you close
For company
I can’t feel a thing now
I love how you linger
You don’t regret
The things you do
Why would you?
I’m not a threat
Keep me close
You make me sick
Promises
(And) bitterness
You make me stick
I stick around
I can’t feel a thing now
I love how you linger
I’m growing thinner
You’re no beginner
Don’t say my name
The cross you bear
Your bedtime prayer
Jesus loves
Your credit score
The seeds you sow
Will save your soul
You heard it on
A tv show
(And) you donate more
Hoping for
The seeds to grow
You pay their rent
You buy them
A private jet
The pastor yells
Amen
(But) your sickness grows
So you pay them
