Peach Juice 02:01
Peach juice Early morning hesitancy Wet grass Water shed the best of me I'll never come back again It's better off memory Forget the acquaintances They won't remember me Mirror, mirror, how you been? See myself, but can't see in Brother, brother, stop the car I don't want to go no more Mirror mirror, how you been? See myself, but can't see in Brother, brother, call me soon

Sad little shrine Dangerous deeds Casual comforts Ending of me Crashed up cadillac Green fire Backwards post-it notes expire Sealed up envelope Slashed tires I will never show my power Soft empty sheets Dishes, machines Can’t you come up tomorrow Ending of me Crashed up cadillac Green fire Backwards post-it notes expire Sealed up envelope Slashed tires I will never show my power Copper wire Strangles the tree Top of the weathervane Top of the other things Crashed up cadillac Green fire Who you calling someone’s liar? Sealed up someone else’s tires I will never show my power

Perennial 02:56
Not far off from burning down the pine trees Sick of everything green How many sentimental earrings have we lost here? City seems like bad year Sand keeps falling from my shoes But it's been a long time since I last saw seaside Those streets were like a living room Have a seat where you choose, ancient stones will hold you Kept a spare in my closet Never knew what caused it to whisper gently When I had nowhere to go Records holding in the back room Long enough to make you ache For those times back then For those times back then Who will you bring to the party next year? Too many questions floating out there I am not far off from burning down the pine trees Makes me sick, I hate the way they stay green How many sentimental earrings have we lost here? Don't make this a bad year

Desert Fish 06:34
Hands tied in broken stems I never told you, you're a flower Wounds cut with nothingness Some people live like desert fish Tethered to the dark again I never told you, you're a flower Why does it always come to this? The line is long, the line is thin Some people live Like desert fish Tethered to the dark again I never told you, you're a flower Wounds cut with nothingness Some people live like desert fish Some people live Like desert fish Some people live Like desert fish

Bit me once, shame on you Don't you know what your teeth can do? Beat up shed and a bottle of blue Watercolor rush and a sorry stung view Little bow Laura and her hurricane stew Sycamore syrup and that cup you always used Half a mind to tell you that a half a mind won't do Never saw a sliver of what you were tryna prove Carving out a bottle just to have a little taste There's something kinda funny in your un-ironic haste Something always seething in the next to out of place Carving out a seat in case I wanna see that race Little bow Laura and her hurricane stew Sycamore strangers with that window looking through Half another story and I've finally got a clue Half another something and I'm half another you Hurricane stew

Milky IPA, cut lip I never will get over it Your hand, my shirt Keep breathing in Last I heard you weren't my friend Last I heard, I heard again The bird play backwards song again Grifters weep for cigarette The sound of startled, clearing throat I never will get over it The moon has kept me in this cage The sound of you around my neck I never will get over it Last I heard you weren't my friend Last I heard, I heard again

Blueprints 03:20
Dog's been dead underground in the backyard since I last saw you Kept your favorite toothpaste sitting in the cabinet case you thought you'd wanna have it After all this time Left field seems like it's got a lotta things coming my way Deep breath and a knowing nod every time I look away Live long, or let's just not think about it Sand is good to bury Sand is good to bury Hey man, get off my front lawn, can't you see I'm trying? Trying to grow a gray hair Hey man, get off that horse, it's giving me the side eye Giving me a hard time After all this time Kept your favorite toothpaste sitting in the cabinet, ‘Case you wanna grab it Live long, or let's just not think about it Sand is good to bury Sand is good to bury Live long, or let's just not think about it Sand is good to bury Keep some on my front lawn

I hate going outside Robots roam with their turbine eyes Do you know what it's like to buy the paper? This time I don't wanna meet at the party This time I don't wanna dream of your arteries Maybe later I'll pour the brandy And think about chandeliers I hate going outside Robots roam with their turbine eyes Radio riot and the cellular skies Disco Dracula skates by Maybe later I'll pour some brandy And think about chandeliers Do you know what it's like to buy the paper? Maybe later I'll pour some brandy And think about chandeliers

Don't let me die On this hill Lose one more fight And I'll die On this hill

This will make the rain hurt less Open up, let a little in You've been spending all your time in bed Make some space, for me to get in Lately you've been sleeping on my hair Saying that I never really cared Do you think I never really cared? Step into my office, sir Moments vaporate like air I'm not mad, no I'm just cured Lights will shine for those who've heard Maybe, I'm falling down the drain pipe Maybe, I've lost the things in my sight Maybe, I'm feeling sorta strange, these Things happen so quickly I'm ready, will you Step into my office, sir Moments vaporate like air I'm not mad, no I'm just cured Lights will shine for those who've heard I'm not mad, no I'm just cured I'm just cured Just cured
