Cover Up

it gets worse every year
this disappointment
your pain is a lot of things
but it's not poignant
but i won't feel it
till it's gone on and on and on and on
but i won't feel it
till it's gone on and on and on and on and on
i tasted the worst of you
it went to my head
and you always were too sick
to share the one bed
and though i can't feel it
i've been led on and on and on and on
and though i can't feel it
i've been led on and on and on and on and on
i need you to cover up
you look so useless
it gets harder to fill your cup
when nothing exists
but you won't feel it
till it's all gone, gone, gone, gone
but you won't feel it
till it's all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
you made this mess
you fucking clean it up

Gas Mask
01:49
|
|||
no end of stuff outside my window
every day a new tableau of threats
i'm losing trust in my defenses
and see the darkness placing bets
so to make a long story short
i think i need to get a gas mask
i'll be back to normal life
as soon as i get a gas mask
last time i did this it was winter
and all that ice has melted now
who knows what i could end up breathing
i've gotta protect myself somehow
which is why i need a hundred bucks
so i can go and get a gas mask
i can pay you back next month
with the money i make at the job i can get
once it's safe for me to go outside again

Despair
03:29
|
|||
i've been living with a little doom
a little doom inside my mouth
you didn't really give me any room
any room to drag you down
you're untouched
and it's too much
it's too much
too much despair
it's too much
too much despair
it's too much
i gotta find a way to make it stick
make it stick inside my mind
you really did the things you did
you really left us all behind
i'm in the middle, can't you see
you made such a fool of me
i'm in the middle, don't you care
about the weight you made me bear
you treated secrecy like wealth
and now you've cashed the final check
the worst version of yourself
is the only version left
you're untouched
and it's too much
it's too much
too much despair
it's too much
too much despair
and not even one inch to spare
it's too much
too much
too much

Marking Time
02:29
|
|||
i'm waiting for your call
i'm walking up your wall
i'm marking time
i'm heavy on your chest
i never do my best
i'm learning not to care
you're less and less aware
i'm marking time
tell me what you see when you go outside

Insinuating
01:49
|
|||
i see you walking
i hit my brakes
my mouth starts moving
it eats my face
i kill the headlights
i burn the car
i frighten people
who see it from afar
i can't keep hating
you can't keep waiting
i ain't insinuating nothing
i found a problem
with everything
i can't take one step
unless i face away
i hate the impulse
i hate the driving fear
i'm blown away by
the depth of failure here
i can't keep hating
you can't keep waiting
i ain't insinuating nothing

The Fate Card
02:36
|
|||
you reckon
the light cannot be lost
you figure
to fight at any cost
i'm waiting
for better or for worse
i'm clinging
to thoughts of what came first
i'm starving
to murder and to die
i'm playing
the fate card day and night
your screaming
will fall upon deaf ears
stop steaming
the fight's been through for years
i'm waiting
until the bottom drops
pulsating
to pull out all the stops
i'm starving
to murder and to die
i'm playing
the fate card day and night
and it's more than enough to kill for
yeah it's more than enough

Snakeskin
03:33
|
|||
i ad a little snakeskin in the morning
i got a little sick and that's just fine
i had a couple years to rest on laurels
but now i'm getting sick again sometimes
i got it in an undiscovered country
i spread it through the airport and went home
i didn't think about my friends and family
i didn't think of anyone at all
i had to find a way to send this message
talking on the telephone's no good
i don't wanna hear you recognizing
that i didn't love you like i said i would
i can't believe i didn't do this sooner
i thought it up a long long time ago
i didn't make a plan for what comes after
so i'll work around the one thing that i know
that i don't want you back

The Answer
02:36
|
|||
stuck in heaven for six hours now
it all got away from me
lately i'm not interested in why
i can't just leave it be
it comes to me when nothing adds up to
the answer that was you
breaking into dusty atoms now
lost in your precious heart
radiation poisoning or not
this is the freshest start
it comes to me when nothing adds up to
the answer that was you
waking up gets harder and harder to do

Soulmate
03:40
|
|||
step outside and go
wandering around in the snow
grab a lifeline hon
nothing moves under the sun
do you ever get cold
me too
and i start wondering
where do i go now
step outside and run
wandering around with a gun
make a day go by
give it all you've got right between the eyes
do you ever get scared
me too
and i start wondering
where do i go now
take that step again
not across but down
we don't get to be who we wish we were
