Mad at my Friend
03:21
|
|||
Never been so mad
At someone like me
But you’ve got the kind of hand
That keeps hurting me
Started freaking out
In my living room
And you threw my friends out
I guess they’re used to it
What it was before
So tender
Will I feel it more
Next September
You call me later on
I can tell you want to ask
What is wrong with me
Will I ever forgive
Like a friend who used to care
I can hear it in your voice
Holding back a fear
That you’ve hurt me somehow
What it was before
So tender
Will I feel it more
Once I’ve left you
I don’t really know what’s wrong
What I’m doing
Why it feels so wrong
To be mad at you
I don’t really know what’s wrong
What I’m imagining
Could be worse than all
All I’ve lived through with you
I don’t really know what’s wrong
What I’m doing
Why it feels so wrong
To be mad at you
I don’t really know what’s wrong
What I’m imagining
Could be worse than all
All I’ve lived through
All I’ve lived through
All I’ve lived through with you

I'm on Your Side
03:57
|

Through open windows you hang out your torso
To feel what it might mean to die
These age-old questions they amuse your senses
But still there’s no answer to why
Take my hand, won’t you
Please step back here where I can show you
I see you and I see a circle of the truth
Take my hand, I’ll show you where that circle lies in you
Take my left or my right, they’ll align, ‘cause I see you
And I’m on your side - I feel it too
Well I know you
Flat on your mattress below those high places
You try to imagine the fall
I visit you, lay my dry baby’s breath on your eyes
Should it help you at all
Take my hand, won’t you
Please wake back up so I can show you
I see you and I see a circle of the truth
Take my hand, I’ll show you where that circle lies in you
Take my left or my right, they’ll align, ‘cause I see you
And I’m on your side - I feel it too
Well I know you
And I’m on your side
Come back, there’s something more to know
Up high and equally down below
Please won’t you take my hand
Please come back so I can show you
I see you and I see a circle of the truth
Take my hand, I’ll show you where that circle lies in you
Take my left or my right, they’ll align, ‘cause I see you
And I’m on your side - I feel it too
Well I know you
And I’m on your side
Well I know you
And I’m on your side
I know you, I’m on your side
I know you, I know you and I’m on your side
I know you, I know you and I’m on your side
I know you, I know you and I’m on your side
I’m on your side

Ultimatum
04:15
|
|||
I sent out an ultimatum
To the ones I thought could use one
I said what I wanted to
Didn’t get much of a reaction
I won’t follow your direction
Unless you put down your arm
I said what I wanted to
Guess I gave the wrong impression
I’ll go where you stand
I’ll go where you stand
I’ll go where you stand
I’ll go where you stand
If you lay down your weapon of choice
I’ll go
I can tell you’re having fun
Pointing once and watching me run
But it doesn’t seem right to me
To make it so easy
It doesn’t seem right to me
I’ll go where you stand
I’ll go where you stand
I’ll go where you stand
I’ll go where you stand
I’ll go where you stand
If you go
I’ll go where you stand
If you go
I’ll go where you stand
If you go
I’ll go where you stand
If you go and lay down your weapon of choice
I’ll go

You Can Do It Too
04:39
|

Well I’m glad you said what you did
You might be surprised how well I get it
Yeah I’ve drowned this car to the core
But despite the odds I opened the door
And so can you
Roll down the window of cold uncertainty that’s kept you up most every night
I know how you feel, felt it right before I opened my passenger door for you
Doesn’t matter what you do to drive out the last remaining hurt inside
Just don’t be afraid, I believe in you and I know you can do it too
You can do it too
Well we’ve got the time that it takes
To mend the parts that others can break
So take the time to say how you feel
You can sit beside me, I’ll take the wheel
And show you how
Wash away the blackened tar that covers up that open road we’re looking for
I know it feels odd, giving up the thing that kept you from falling apart
But don’t be afraid, all you’ve got to lose will only serve to mend your heart
Just do what you can, give your little heart a hand and open up inside
You can drive, you can drive it away
You can drive, you can drive it away
You can drive, you can drive it away
Roll down the window of cold uncertainty that’s kept you up most every night
I know how you feel, felt it right before I opened my passenger door for you
Doesn’t matter what you do to drive out the last remaining hurt inside
Just don’t be afraid, I believe in you and I know you can do it too
Wash away the blackened tar that covers up that open road we’re looking for
I know it feels odd, giving up the thing that kept you from falling apart
But don’t be afraid, all you’ve got to lose will only serve to mend your heart
Just do what you can, give your little heart a hand and open up the door

Iris
03:02
|

What’s that spinning sound I hear
Propeller in my ear
What can I do when I’m responding to the answers that you gave
They’re all ridiculous
I try to make excuses
But I can’t shout over it
Well I’ll give it to you, Iris
I came down from outer space
Started throwing all those paper plates
What can I do when I’m responding to the only thing you said
That I could not be understood
That my arrangements were no good
And why I should
I should give it to you, Iris
Well I’m not so good
At making up with Iris
Heard you place a silent bet
That I would start to sing again
What can I do when I’m responding to the snowy fields of flame
I thought I timed it quite well
You said it was hell I guess
My manners are to blame
Well I’ll give it to you, Iris
Not sure what I would do with it
I’ll give it to you, Iris
No, I have no good use for it
Here, take it with you, Iris
I fear you’ll manage to regret
When you go and live it, Iris

Maps
03:09

Uncovered a new way
Of finding someone new
And I found someone new
Who turned into you
A sign for a one-way
Broke across my knee
A silent little thing
That turned into me
Lost, I turned a darkened corner
I saw her there, my unborn daughter
She said something
But you won’t take my word for it
Wide awake in my bedsheets
I feel you there, forever haunting
Until I find
A new place where I can be
Out on my own
Feeling out of control
Coming into my own
Tearing up what you made of me
Out on my own
Letting go what I know
Even you cannot find me
Without a map of me
One dark part you knew how to find
Closed my heart and my open mind
But I can trace my way back again
To a place where I
To a place where I
A new place I can be
Out on my own
Feeling out of control
Coming into my own
Tearing up what you made of me
Out on my own
Letting go all I know
Even you cannot find me
Without a map of me

Did to Me
02:58
|
|||
I hang in the underground
Lines getting longer all the time
But I can trust the electric lights
To make sure those around me cannot see
What you did to me
When I poured it out
What you did it me
When I poured it out
I see a girl without a face
Hanging in the windows that go by
But I can trust the electric lights
To help me find an empty car to ride
So I can forget
So I can forget
So I can forget
So I can forget
What you did
What you did to me
When I poured it out
What you did it me
When I poured it out

New Violence
06:23
|

Stand where you are
Might feel like nothing, but it’s more
Let your hands fall
I’ll put my hands up in place of yours
New violence
Talking about new violence
New violence
Talking about new violence
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
Lay here and rest
I’ll lay beside you and hold your hands
Say all you can
I want to listen to understand
New violence
Talking about new violence
New violence
Talking about new violence
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
I want to, but I don’t love like I want to
The things we let fall, we put up again
And I want to, but I don’t love like I want to
Though the time is a good time for trying
If you have a single cause for trying
And you are that single cause for trying
Trying love
Trying love
New violence
Talking about new violence
New violence
Talking about new violence
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm

Army
02:53
|
|||
I watch and wait
While you build an army
Out of all that you see
Makes up me
'Cause I don’t know
How to build an army
To free the woman in me
Without a trial
All I know
The size of everything
Everything but my own
The only thing that I’d kill to know
But you can see
This wasn’t what I wanted
How I can’t be contained
Now I know you understand me
I close my eyes
While you build an army
I don't want to see what
You see in me
'Cause all I know
About an army
Is what it does to what you want
To hide away
All I know
This wasn’t what I wanted
What I wanted to see
A woman hidden inside of me
And you don’t see
The size of everything
With the army you made
You show instead that you understand
I can see
With your eyes on me
There’s a way to fight this
Live a life I can live with
With your eyes on me
With your eyes on me
I can see it all
Now I know you understand me

I stare, holding my side
At pictures I capsized
A strange and unholy island
Materializes
Late, when I’m up at night
Saying things like I made it by myself
Lucid and tenderized
I tend to compare
Myself to you - it’s my American dream
That goddamn cream - it makes me want to go (make a break for it)
Makes me want to go
I animate the mirror that I hold on to
Until there’s only me for me to answer to
A nurse, a knock, they come in and make me talk
Just in case I try another way of getting off
‘Cause late, when I’m up at night
I only see things that make me hurt myself
Lucid, and tenderized
I tend to compare
Myself to you - it’s my American dream
That goddamn cream - it makes me want to go
Makes me want to go

A Little More
07:44
|

Hold your hand out like a little star
They’ll come up to you, size up what you are
And I don’t really know too much
Of what is happening
But I don’t really care too much
For what they’re doing to you
Sizing up you
Come with me and close up your little hands
Please don’t let them size you up, Diane
‘Cause I don’t really know too much
Of what is happening
But I don’t really care too much
For what they’re doing to you
A little touch around your finger
Gives them much more than what they paid for
Everything they want, but they want more
They want to size up a dying star
Ooh a little more
Ooh that little star reminds me of a girl I know
Come with me and close up your little hands
Please don’t let them size you up, Diane
‘Cause I don’t really know too much
Of what is happening
But I don’t really care too much
For what they’re doing to you
A little touch of what they paid for
Then around your wrist, a little more
Will those starry eyes do what they’re told
Or will it be too much for you to hold
Ooh a little more
Ooh a little more Diane, more of what they want
More Diane, more of what they want
More Diane, more of what they want
More Diane, more, a little more
