GLASSHOUSE 03:22
lilac under rain purple over grey covering your rings stopping everything vodka gatorade everything you say anything you need, just take it how do i tread under your hand i’m in your water i didn’t wanna why do you stand on the fence when i’m in your garden why are you calling glasshouse in the trees bricks piled at your feet how much do we take can we carry it up the hill do you care enough to let it get good again all on your watch watching em walk all over you what can i do? how do i stop? where do i start?
2.
crying while you’re turning on your car i’m looking at you spinning round how come you’ve got nothing in your arms you chew it just to spit it out why sit and wait? it feels good to get paid to bow your head to anyone how much can your little limbs bend? come over just to try it out i wish that your water would suspend cause when you float i’m coming in you got my name it’s money to be made connect with me for anything curl up your hands we’re losing as it stands i lift my head come on

UGLY BUG 03:54
fire for a week hurrying a surgery tokens just for watching every day birds in the trees flowers blooming everywhere terror stalks the land in every way i’m all over it gasoline on everything finished all the letters i could write in and out of sleep burning up the interstate how do i communicate a thing?
4.
LINE 03:43
you clutch in holding your breath every time that you spin your wheels up i was looking to see you get stuck you offer up some of your things nothing anyone would miss and you wouldn’t wanna come back and get so dress them up and make it hard for me to find buy a little time fireworks and copper wire in the barn behind motor oil stains on cloth that you dyed i’m climbing just to hang on top of your line maroon and gold on your head something they wanna point their eyes at i just couldn’t be pretty like that a dull knot in my stomach again from swallowing it so why wouldn’t it so while we’re up i’ll just unfold and let you cover up unravel to your code why’d you stir the pot this time? what’d you wanna find? either way you would go on i walk around your woods and burn a pile to make it obviously bright i caught you in your lie right
5.
as soon as you park the car you’re pulling the deck apart you show me your hand and start reaching into the pot now that you’re bleeding hard i wanted to stack some cards you wouldn’t play too long i’m right where you left me off you let me win but why’d you admit it? still no one gets anything how does your nose stay round even when it’s stretching out? i had some strings, but now you finally cut me down no tugging my shoulders now
