Sin Away My Cough
01:29

|

i hope you realize we're at war
and if you put that on it means the other side's already won
i'm born a new man every day
i show my face and make the founding fathers proud to call me son
and i wanna sin away my cough
sin away my cough
today
i'm my own man and i don't need
the mainstream media or government or my doctor or my kids or you
the only way i know i'm free
is to do the opposite of everything that i'm supposed to do
and i wanna sin away my cough
sin away my cough
today
and i wanna sin away my cough
and cough up all my sweat
and sweat out all my teeth
and bite off a piece of my nose
and sneeze on seven cops
and cop out on my sins

A Rescue Done Right
02:50
|
|

i call that a rescue done right
under cover of night
no way of hiding no more
a crowbar to every front door
i think i loved you
long ago
but i was too good
at saying no
it made me a mermaid to learn
that you only drown when i burn
i wish i had smiled back back then
i'm always playing pretend
that could have been me
under the sun
i oughta go back
and throttle someone

I'll Go First
01:31
|
|
||
can't bear to see you with your eyes closed
not supposed to sleep until your mind goes
you're supposed to stare up at the ceiling with nothing to say
as memories of your day get further and further away
can we please not dwell on your successes
that neither stresses nor depresses
you're supposed to cry out cuz your guts hurt almost all of the time
i think it's so funny when you act like this isn't your life
let's play some pictionary
i'll go first

Can She Take It
03:05
|
|
||
can she take it
will she crack under the stress
can she take it
let's watch her make a fucking mess
get as close as you can so you can get a look at her face
somebody has to remind the most vulnerable people of their place
again again again
again again
can she take it
she owes us better than her best
can she take it
what do you see underneath her dress
who does she think she is to dress and act that way
some kind of free adult human being or something
she's breaking the rules and making it look like god made a mistake
tomorrow we'll make new rules for how she should have looked today
again again again
again again

What You Want It For
02:04
|
|
||
it's got no class
it just stares back
i don't know what you want it for
it's not well made
for the price you paid
i don't know what you want it for
it's not your style
and the weather here is mild
i don't know what you want it for
it just lacks taste
it's so in your face
i don't know what you want it for
don't you get sick and tired of always being you
i know i do
and i think, he's not funny and also not sincere
get me out of here
and it's like, how pathetic can any one person be
i guess we'll see

Above the Ground
03:42
|
|
||
i'll never know what could have been if i had stayed above the ground
why did i crush the only miracle that i had ever found
we ached from carrying inside
a love with nowhere else to go
but when you took me in your arms
i acted like i didn't know
i can't forget the way you looked at me like i deserved your eyes
i wish to god i'd known what i know now in 1995
i learned a long long time ago
to stop my tears before they start
but i should have never let you go
i should have given you my heart

Campfire
04:15
|
|
||
i've lived here for ten years
i moved here for the beer
and for a show on ifc
as a longtime resident
i'm sick of seeing all these tents
this city's really suffering
and no one suffers more than me
i'm trying to eat this sushi
such misery in our midst
i shouldn't have to live like this
if i had a kid he'd be afraid
we've gotta clean up this mess
keep portland weird but not like this
i'm sick of playing voters' games
suppose we try our hand with flames
when you pay your taxes you expect a certain courtesy
what's the point of prisons if they can't be used on poverty
the way these people take up space ain't right
let's put this problem out of sight
if you can't get a job you don't deserve your life
we're gonna take it back tonight
i'm liberal at heart
but things have gone too far
they're hurting my home equity
with gasoline i come
one bad day and then it's done
we're gonna wash this city clean
and take it back to 2013
when i bought my first property
and made it an airbnb
and i could eat my sushi
without this negative energy
i miss my quirky city
it's not the way it used to be
no i will not vote for new housing
because it's all too ugly
this way is better for me
this way is better

you gotta be down here with me to get it
you very well might die before you do
this thing'll just break your back if you let it
and we all seem determined to
you just can't tell anyone how to play it
until one of you runs out of food
all ready to bust some doors off the hinges
and make off with the national mood
belief is what will bring us down

Blanket for Your Feet
03:29
|
|
||
do you feel it twisting in your side
were you really crying when you cried
nothing i did could make it go away
i don't have a real strong sense of what to say
do you need a blanket for your feet
should i keep pouring drinks until you speak
it's coming to get me once it's through with you
i don't have a real strong sense of what to do
i think you put your face on backwards

left turn
head on
all of the right things become wrong
one day
right move
wrong guy
all of my heartache in real time
yes way
got another life where this doesn't happen
got another one where we're still ok
rug burn
soul-wise
everything i ever dreamed of
turned sour
no man
no cry
nothing can ever replace that
good time
got another life where i don't confront you
got another one where i don't find out
got one where we don't get close in the first place
got one where i don't leave my mom's house
but now i crawl back to you
there was nothing i could do
except to crawl back to you
there was nothing i could do
