It's the "first times" all around and you don't really stand out you're young, and I'm new so I guess I'll believe you first drinks at the week's end and everyones got it in their heads that I'm trying to take you to bed when I really just need a friend but really what's the difference in the end and they say it's news as they bitch out of tune with the truth and I say to try to soothe even whispers leave a bruise and I mean what's the use if I'm here just to be reduced and hey, you gotta do you even if no one else wants to and no one else wants you jagged edge hillside tree line habits end, I'll be back here again in time whispered clouds are catching now carrion birds are coming

Hair Ties 03:47
Hair ties, food in the fridge she's got me now, son of a bitch and I thought I'd never be here again among the things she forgets something profound comes this way now I don't know how to get it out wont be long before youre gone milks now in the trash cause most things spoil before she gets back and I thought I put this thing to bed but now it's pillows when you pull back the blankets something profound comes this way now I dont know how to get it out wont be long before youre gone moons low, so am I a twist to the world how we rise and I thought I'd just go to bed as if I could sleep where she used to rest her head wont be long before you're gone wont be long before you're gone wont be long before you're gone something profound comes this way now I don't know how to get it out

Our Friends 03:24
Depression skews my senses yet consent in all its forms proves a set of debts a sense of will, that expensive thrill I rarely get I said I will, so I guess I wont let you down again here's to who you were when you said I didnt have to get you drunk here's to who you were when you would break my heart to get unstuck here's to who you were when you stopped your dad from trying to fight me here's to our friends they were yours in the end you mention one day you want it plain convention in all its forms: the kid, the house maintained a death of will, or freedom guilt, which will I get I said I will, so I guess I wont let you down again here's to who I was when I thought you were my whole world here's to who I was when we spent the afternoons feeding the squirrels here's to who I was when I spent your birthday with another girl here's to our friends they where yours in the end here's to who you were when you said I didnt have to get you drunk here's to who you were when you would break my heart to get unstuck here's to who you were when you stopped your dad from trying to fight me here's to our friends here's to our friends here's to our friends they were yours in the end

what was in my head to make old friends seem so alien was it the spit in my eye or the friend who died or all the friends who helped fill the needle, pull tight the belt and I didn't know how far you'd go but then everyone else said this would be your end with or without their help bone is what they said they found when they fed your ashes to a tide going out and stone is all they thought to leave to mark the spot where youd been released and you know, you were such a dick but maybe a few more years and you'd of grown out of it and despite all of this theres a part of me that wishes old circles could be finished coil or caliper, I need to be heard even though you hurt me I'd still take your word swore it was over all the hairs that were hers stuck to my bedsheets and my wool shirts what was it that you said I had a sense of death don't know if that was true but I sure gave it respect and despite all of this there's a part of me that wishes the big years of our friendships could outweigh the damage

drunk lil guy it's all in your mom's eyes god knows she tried but he was twice her size your dads whole fist wrapped around your heart your magnum opus just a bunch of his scars and you can change your last name but he's forever in your veins drunk lil guy there's nightmares in your eyes but no one cares, no one tries they're just there for your good time your dads whole fist wrapped around your heart your magnum opus just a bunch of his scars first time I told this you were crying at the bar went home with someone you didnt even like just to avoid being alone that night I was your best friend or so you said again and again alcohol thick on your breath and when you've got the first round no ones gonna open their mouth raise their glasses and say I'm sorry your dad made you this way drunk lil guy you fucked up again, but it's fine they'll just pretend you're out of your mind and you can ride that excuse till you die
6.
In my mind I can hold the times my hands slipped around you so much anger, oh man to hold a life like beach sand and there you were slipping through freedom was just another word like the others, you never heard what you already knew take me to your room I can't seem to get away get away, hey take me to your room I can't seem to get away get away, hey spill my words just to water ground tilt my world just to hold it down to see us anew now all there is is to say goodbye no wonder we didnt give this another try a seventh fucking time take me to your room I can't seem to get away get away, hey take me to your room I can't seem to get away get away, get away in a room lit by loving hands attached to friends you couldn't stand but stood by you in a hand lit room a heavy hollow heart wrapped in a fist, fell apart it felt like stone, i didn't mean to or maybe I was the stone, the stepping kind that you outgrow or maybe this is just what I thought to be and kill the potential life between take me to your room I can't seem to get away get away get away get away

Right Again 03:52
You might know better, but I know best don't upset her now, but thats my guess someone set her on her head and she was never right again tell her it's the weather, tell her it's the meds tell her her feelings make no difference tell her it's whatever just get some rest a broken hearts the best route to happiness drunk and hung up theres something from 'im on your stomach a spare sock to mop up what he wanted now you've got it jesus christ I'm all she wants
8.
This Body 03:07
with arms crossed, your eyes won't meet mine wish you hadn't lied, but here we are standing crookedly six feet apart such a formal way for you to say this you must be super pissed do you remember when we use to screw to til three a.m.? now there's just this body and a grave to put it in and after all there's more to this cant put making love on a checklist do you remember when we used to screw till three a.m.? now there's just this body and a grave to put it in which is just enough to shut my mouth if it were one of us in the ground so go ahead and put me down
9.
Corvallis 05:16
Creased sheets and the warmth creeps into her as she sleeps the curved lines of a ruffled bed are the broken letters whatever her dreams said heart beats ring hard as a hangover takes charge and the shrill rays of a silled sun are the first to greet the weak tongued on the outskirts of a college town she shakes off her first real night out
10.
Standing on the shore at dusk watching the light creep from around us settling of a summers eve comes like the blood as it roses your cheeks all of that heat left by the sun on which the air now feeds with skin a little burnt feels good to be in the shadow of the earth hey now, way down you're starting to feel again hey now, somehow you're starting to feel again standing on the shore at night watching the bob of the ships pinched lights ocean thick breeze teases my hair, bends through the trees the sea, the roar, stills things in me I alone can't ignore hey now, way down you're starting to feel again hey now, somehow you're starting to feel again
