Fugazi
04:26
|
|||
When you turn me around
Know it’ll be alright
Looking inside
You’ve got nothing to hide
Face is a mess
I’m wondering how
What happens when we’re young
Doesn’t seem to work out
An idea, will leave me breathless
An idea, you leave me breathless
There is something I said
That I regret
But he thought that he showed me Fugazi
I don’t know how to explain how that feels
It doesn’t make sense why it hurt me
An idea, will leave me breathless
An idea, you leave me breathless

Stapling
02:41
|
|||
You look like someone stood you down
And I am close to the bottom
Hanging out
I’ve been wasted, stapling
All of my time
You’ve got one foot on the ground and one right
One right, one right
I have opened all of myself to you and you
Keep a door locked on me
I’ve been like, wasted, stapling all of my time
To you and you seem like nothing, no support of mine
No support of mine, no support
You know it wasn’t easy before
It’s taken its toll

Get Better
04:11
|
|||
You look like you’re tired
I don’t know how I
Got along before
Somehow, I just keep going
There’s always going to be
Someone who’s better than me
I know I’m trying to be
Better
I don’t know I’m going to wake up from this
I don’t know to make you please wake up from this
All of these times you tried
To keep my path closed in on your pride
And I just stayed there, bleeding right
To be losing
You take it all out and blame your pain on me
Your shame, your denial, your ways to stay unseen
I’m here pleading for you to love me too
The way that you love
The self that you’ve construed
To seem happy and safe
When I had to run from you
And learn to rage
I won’t keep going
But please get better

The Way That Things Burn
02:57
|
|||
I’m reading about the way that things burn
On paper and in text books
I’m reading about
The way things will burn
In sometime or in no time
I’m thinking how can I plan a life in turn
When everything is hopeless?
I’m thinking about the way that we learn
When everything is hopeless
All we’ve lost and keep reliving
The land is meant to pray,
Instead we stand to take
And hold, when who is meant to be here?
The cheatgrass choking in,
Tried to be your sense of home
And you threw me on the ground
Let me lying in your waste, I’m lying in your waste

Creature
03:38
|
|||
Scent’s off and nobody’s home
You’ve been watching me fall
I stood there stayed there standard
Stale window
Your cruelness, your cruel creature
I’ve got to know
I’ve got something in
I’ve got something in
I’ve got it now
You’re standing tall, though you’re upside down
It’s a crisis
I don’t know how to love anymore
I don’t know what love is
Everyone’s down
Down
Everyone’s down
It’s not a moment,
This will not end, it’s a revolution

Twenty Dried Chilies
07:18
|
|||
Done with walking days,
I would rather on the couch watching TV
Twenty in a row, drying out chillies
I recall when you were a teenager
I wanted to be just like you
Play guitar and sing along and run the school
Now you’re turning twenty-seven
And I don’t know you anymore
I’m at a loss at what happens in this world
It is a cruel sensation, remembering I am human
And I’m prone to accidents of heart
I regret sending you that email where I said wanted to kill you
When I meant is that long to feel you are still someone that I know well like I used to
It is painful to age
And I’m watching Leon tell me he is suffering too
At your hands gladly slipping away
He says he is at a loss, he never knew this cruelty existed
And he lost his country, and he knows what it means to fear for your life
And he’s never cruelty like this, he wonders is it pathological
Have I asked a psychiatrist what might be wrong with you and I have and we don’t know
Maybe it’s something to do with your personality
And I think I’ve always known it
Somewhere deep inside I knew
There was no trusting you
And Leon told me Niko threw you out of a pushchair
Intentionally to display his manliness
And you hit your head on the concrete and cried
And Leon stood there amazed
What to do? What, to take you away as a toddler?
He said there’s no way to blame him,
Niko’s also bruised, he didn’t know how to share my mother’s love for you
So, we’re brought back to toxic masculinity
And I don’t like to label everyone, but it seems that runs in my family
With pride and rage and dignity
I’m sorry I’m angry, too
I told you I wanted to kill you
But, I’m only afraid
