2.
Carry Me 03:08
I’d take my shirt off hang upside down on the couch I always feel good when I’m shirtless and upside down but I’ve got roommates who don’t want to see me naked so I find other ways to make myself be silly you can carry me I’m not heavy I’ll grow extra arms to hold onto your body fridge light flickers when I turn on the toaster not enough energy to provide what is needed and I’ve got hunger pangs but everybody’s got ‘em I feel everything and I don’t wanna you can carry me I’m not heavy I’ll grow extra arms to hold onto your body dig my fingernails into your shoulder you’re so steady you don’t tip over you’re so pretty so I want to be pretty can you carry me? I’m not heavy
3.
Throw Out 03:46
I’m a backseat driver in the backseat bumming around I’m a threadbare sweater that you still will not throw out I’m the cold and crumbling crumbs at the bottom of the toaster I am a poster for a concert that's over I am something that you should throw out I’m the iron in the water that makes you spit it out staying thirsty ‘til you get back to your house I’m the clutter in corner that when friends come over you apologize for I’m the bad lighting in the bathroom I’ll show you everything whether you wanted to see it or not I am something that you should shut off where do the days go? I’m sure you know we were raised as mannequins I’m trying to move though, I don’t want to hold my ground anymore so we’re in the same boat and I’m so sick of arguing so sick of the shit show where do the days go? ten pound of worms delivered to my doorstep there’s plastic wrap to keep them trapped I’ll make a habit out of loneliness order my friends on the internet if they get germs I’ll take them worms to the vet and I know it all bleeds into one big thing and I know the feeling and I know we’re scared of the same things but that doesn’t mean I want to talk about any of them I’ll nod my head for a minute or ten and then it’ll be my turn and you’ll nod yours where do the days go? I’m sure you know we were raised as mannequins I’m trying to move though, I don’t want to hold my ground anymore so we’re in the same boat and I’m so sick of arguing so sick of the shit show where do the days go? before you go, you should know I’m ready to be closer to anything please come over, stay much longer I’ll make dinner, breakfast and everything we could start it all over well I guess if you say so I know I’ll fricken make a mistake though I’ll be left thinking where did the days go

Television 04:21
I can hear the TV, it is coming for me scares my socks off sitting in my boxers, looking at the clock go whiskey on the rocks oh I meant to get gingerale from the market I’m waiting for something to start check engine light flickers on call me a tow I want to go home I can’t place the feeling staring at the mirror pulling skin into place cut my hair in the bathroom I didn’t get the back well fuck it, I like it this way I’ll say I messed it up on purpose I’ll say I messed it up with a purpose I’m waiting for something to start check engine light flickers on call me a tow I want to go home baker buys pillsbury dough sits back and watches reality shows just dial tones I want to go home watch me with the sound off I will take the soap box I want to go home
5.
Dates 02:21
I’ll poison myself slowly so it won’t show up on the autopsy at this rate I’ll run out of candy I’ll have to eat dates and I hate dates fell face first on the concrete hope you are thinking about me smashed my teeth laid naked on a side street and I ate dates I’ll get my beauty rest where you left me on the concrete I’ll smash out all my own teeth I’ll dress up real pretty but I dont wanna go on I don’t wanna go on dates
6.
Ghost 05:12
Something is in the air, it's in the water I don’t know what to say or what to mumble or how to swallow whether to let go, cause everytime I look into the room I expect to see you staring out the window at nothing this building needs a ghost and you can’t be it I’m right here slapping every virus off your spine we’re not even as old as our new home sitting on a porch built in 1959 I am a tissue box left on the coffee table pull out all my insides I’ll make you feel much better this building needs a ghost and you can’t be it I’m right here slapping every virus off your spine we’re not even as old as our new home sitting on a porch built in 1959 discard the cardboard on the way home from the grocery store did I leave you wanting more when I kissed you on the living room floor? did I leave you wanting more? I can make you feel I can make you feel much better I’ll make you this building needs a ghost but you can’t be it at least not yet I’m right here to slap another virus off your spine I can’t make you do that sit with me on a porch built in 1953, put your feet up sing ‘90s pop songs, talking on the long walk home to make banana bread I can’t make you do that I can’t make you do anything at all

Shake Hands 03:59
we went too fast we went too far overshot allentown by 90 miles or so, about an hour ago I’m okay, I had a good day I’m alright, I’m having a good night I’ll just imagine you riding your bike on the freeway next to the car doing sick tricks on the guard rail the rest of the way home shake hands with me they make me out to be someone I’m not and I forgot shake hands with me they make me out to be someone I’m not better keep your hands washed sitting room I arrived too soon they were still setting up all the tables and stuff so I sat on the floor and ate fondue I’m okay, I’ll wait in the driveway I’m alright, I’ll stare at the porch light invite me in to flip through pictures of you as a little kid eating pringles chips shake hands with me they make me out to be someone I’m not and I forgot shake hands with me they make me out to be someone I’m not better keep your hands washed and I’m okay, I’m gonna have a good night we went too fast we went too far overshot allentown by 90 miles or so, about an hour ago and I’m okay
8.
I bury all my bottles in the bottom of the closet you stand on the living room chair saying “watch me jump from here to there” I bury all my feelings, stuff them into cracks in the ceiling Did you say my name or did I just imagine I hear it? I imagined I heard it but I shave my hair so I could hear you clear coffee an awful lot lately I shake my legs I can’t sleep at 3:00 I’ll switch to beer so I can be my most sincere when I talk to you I don’t talk to you I just talk about you I don’t talk to you I am stuck in traffic waiting for the light to change crying at the dog park, like will I always feel this way? you are getting older while I am stuck in quiet rage but I will keep your pictures so you will always look the same crying at the dog park, like will I always feel this way?
9.
I’ve got a rash on my arm and it’s making me feel ugly leftover chicken parm in the fridge? good cause I don’t think that I can make food today my house has got central heating and you’re heating your toes and it blows your clothes up like Marilyn Monroe you’re looking pretty pretty in your sweatpants in my room everyday all I ever do is complain but I don’t want you to go away and yes, I want you too do you remember that movie about the people who were in love? I don’t remember the name but I think we’re turning into them I’ve heard that if you don’t love yourself it’s impossible to love anybody else and I’m worried that you might need help but won’t ask for help and I probably need it but I probably won’t ask for help but either way all I ever do is complain I just want you to go away please leave me alone everyday all I ever do is complain but I don’t want you to go away and yes, I want you too

Holy Wreck 03:06
I know it I know it hurts Don’t tell me it’s getting worse I’ll make a point out of being real cool I’ll take off my clothes and jump in the swimming pool you know I’ve got some body issues peel back my skin and look at the muscles and tissues please do is it bad I want you to see me bleed? is it that bad, I need you to tell me I’m a mess in my room egg on face breakfast soon holy wreck closet shrine candlelit box of wine
