For whatever reason it was
You found I was beautiful
It, in itself made me sing
(la da da dah)
You're only upset now till you find something better
You're only upset now till you get something good 'cause
She controls my weather
She sees so much better
Oh I'm just making this up as I go along
Hoping I stumble upon
Something worth keeping
Something you'll sing
Oh god I mean how could I (Preoccupy)
Someone with those eyes?
For whatever reason it was
You found that I was a dirty liar
Well I thought it'd be appropriate to tell you,
"You're beautiful too!"
(ha ha ha ha)
I'm only upset now till I find something better
I'm only upset now till I smoke something good
'Cause you control my weather
You see so much better
I'm just making this up as I go along
Hoping I stumble upon
Something worth keeping
Something you'll sing
Oh god I mean how could I (Preoccupy)
Someone with those eyes?

I smell blood before I see anything
Like that dirty golden ring on your finger
Please sir, put your hands down
My belly is bruised and I don't wanna hurt anymore
How is she laughing?
How is she so happy?
Dancing around the garden with flowers in her hair
I can't help but stare up at the sky
A thousand little eyes glow back at mine
Open mouthed
For you I'd pray and it wouldn't take much convincing
Now I see why you may hate me
'Cause I'm sitting in first class
While you're sitting maybe
Next to a boy with toys in coach
"Oh my god, what's under his coat?"
For you I'd pray and I'd probably be okay with it
I've got an itch and I'm coming on so fast
You don't ease the heat off my chest
Oh, the moat
Hold the moat
No no no no.. ah! Flood!
If you're so great—stop crying and look at me when I'm talking to you—if you're so great, Mom and Dad, why is all the love dead?

So now take me as you are and
Make me how you like it.
My God.
My God is red
Out of luck
Out everything I need
So now take me as you are and
Make me as you like me
My God.
My God.

I'm way too high to start a fight tonight and
You are blind, yeah you are blind and
Even if it's a lie I want to do it all
I want to see it all with you
'Cause I'm afraid of dying alone
I wish you were too
Oh, how exciting he's thinking on his own
He'll never ever never want to go back home
Oh, he feels it in his bones
Oh, I will not drink alone
Yeah
I continue now my words dim horribly vague
Like the way I'm in and out of your life
Is simply okay
I share spaces with strange roommates
I was in such bliss my brothers
Right up my spine
'Cause I'm afraid of dying alone
I wish you were too
Oh, how exciting he's thinking on his own
He'll never ever ever want to go back home
Oh, he feels it in his bones
Oh, I will not drink alone
I'm way too high to start a fight tonight and
You are blind-wait I am blind.

On this particular evening...
Well, I was perusing the pavement from behind the comfort of my
White Toyota, my mother's white Toyota when I saw a red woman
Walking a red dog and I think...
I think she haunts me
She comes tapping, begging at my second floor window for me
To let her in but I never let her in because she doesn't have a face and
I don't trust her.
Just say something useless like the Ego's a sneaky little fucker.
(ahh)
Ooo, what have we here? At the bottom of the bottle, start to
Question morals like, why am I here? Or am I real? Why can't I feel?
No...
(No)
Why is every woman trying to fix me? Just kiss me and show me
That you're not attached and you really just like the taste of saliva.
Flowers are dying now.
(So I won't bother you with my bouquet anymore)
(ahh)
...and on this particular evening.

I wanna see you flicker 'cause I can't see you anywhere
Don't stop thinking thinker, don't stop
Marijuana slowing my blood down and I crack
I saw it on the telly
I saw this on the telly
Was something on the TV
I'm scared when I'm up here, I know I'll crash
'Cause I am at the mercy of you capacity
Stretch it out, make it last
Though I am a love machine I know time will pass
But no-one is moving and it's still taxing
I saw it on the telly
I saw it on the TV
I saw this on the telly
It's always a movie and...
I think when I go I'd like to die alone
So, please don't take it away again
Please don't take it away
Please don't take it away again
Please don't take it away
Please don't take it away again
Please don't take it away
Please don't take it away again
Please don't take it away
Please don't take it away again
Please don't take it away
Please don't take it away again
Please don't take it away

It was such a relief to find you
But in my bliss I lean
So cut me into pieces and
Place me into the box
In the corner of your room
Sort my head before my women
No need to hide my debt
Squeeze my neck like a garden hose
As a kid you chose
To not let go
I cry before I die and
I can fall in love with anyone and
I cry just before I die
There are so many metal birds in the sky
I'm alright, the moment is mine
There are so many metal birds in the sky
I'm alright, the moment is mine
There are so many metal people in the sky but
I'm alright, the moment is mine
Well, he died; wrote, "...the fault was no one's I just gave up."

Sad boy, let your hair down
Sad boy, go to bed now and
Think of all the magic that could happen
When we dream
Sad boy, quit your shaking
Sad boy, I know you feel that you are wasting
But you can't just keep on lying to yourself
Pain is not all you've felt
So go ahead and shit on me
I wanna make something pretty
Well sad girl, no we don't get upset now
Oh no, no, no not in that crown
That Midas sparkling, shining, shimmering crown
I don't know why you're frowning
So sad boy, no don't you worry
Well sad boy hold on slow down
There's no need to hurry or worry
'Cause mama I didn't listen
I took something that I shouldn't have and now I'm
Sprawled out on the kitchen floor
Oh, mama I didn't listen
I took something that I shouldn't have and now I
Can't stop shaking on her bedroom floor
Mama I didn't listen
I took something that I shouldn't have and now I
Can't stop bleeding on the bathroom floor
Oh lord
Nothing's gonna save me from myself
I'm not asking, no, I'm begging for some help
I can't fall asleep 'cause I'm afraid
I'll see you when I wake up
"Sad boy, time to get up now.
Sad boy, let me see that smile."

Wilt

Say, my name to me
Make it plain to see
That you love me
Oh
But your name, it is tossed at me
Through lips that don't hold your teeth
My pulse is foaming like the sea
Oh
Now where have you gone from me and
Why can't I see
Your shore cannot withstand me
Oh
So we wilt ever gracefully
In hopes that you'll notice we-
Before the Earth takes my body and
My pain becomes your grief
