Well goddamn if I didn’t get that one right The ghosts in the basement were disbanding last night And goddamn I swear I did my best to try But with so much friction yea I wasn’t quite on time I swear you’ve got such lovely eyes I saw you on the balcony I saw you take flight And goddamn I swear I didn’t drink your wine The specters in my bed kept me up all night If you can’t stand up then you can’t fall down Unless we find a proper way to part the ground But I think I prefer that you just lie down I think I prefer that you lie down with me Goddamn you’re so well designed I swallowed lightening woke up by your side We stayed up drinking all night With the Mexican boys and their sordid smiles So brush the shards off and walk two steps The light moves through you I’d love to see you tear your dress Just tear your dress If you can’t stand up then you can’t fall down Unless we find a proper way to part the ground But I think I prefer that you just lie down I think I prefer that you lie down with me The boys all sit there (they’re practicing witchcraft) And if you asked me to leave I would go with you And if you asked me to try I would do my best to follow through And if you asked me to leave I would build tiny bridges out of the remnants If you can’t stand up then you can’t fall down Unless we find a proper way to part the ground But I think I prefer that you just lie down I think I prefer that you lie down with me

Shake Weight 03:55
We can run We can run out on the ice caps We can fall Totally hard until our feet can’t touch the ground We can climb We can climb up on the mountains We can soar Totally high until our arms can’t stretch no more It’s a front kick every time don’t you know Words move like blades against my paper throat And my thoughts like jumpers off a thirty-story building To a pool where you crest and break We can swim We can swim out in the ocean We can dry Dry our clothes and lie naked in the sun We can sleep We can sleep out in the forest We can laugh Totally hard until we just can’t feel our lungs It’s a front kick every time don’t you know Words move like blades against my paper throat And my thoughts like jumpers off a thirty-story building To a pool where you crest and break

I had a head full of bees and broken shark’s teeth You had a thing for the caps of his knees and so you dug them out I mistook them both for porcelain ash trays You said, “Oh hell no, they’re made of calcium babe” I just watched the blood stains, Washed the red down the drain Saw the atoms fuck the rust, more rust was made I tried to make the proposition that we do the same But when I opened up my mouth all the bees escaped They flew the fuck away With lights and sound we get in the moment And we get caught up out on the floor again With lights and sound we get in the moment And it’s all alright, it’s all alright Guns up guns down john gags, what you got in that bag A paper cup and a bottle of sprites, we al die So it’s ok if we see red tonight you’ll bring your fist down to the floor And I’ll piss off the sky And what about the girl who stole the bees, well she had dragonfly wings Became a reference to me She was excited for the needles and the Novocain I came expecting only holes Wide gaping holes With lights and sound we get in the moment And we get caught up out on the floor again With lights and sound we get in the moment And it’s all alright, it’s all alright I busted my lip wide open, it split wide open so I sat down on the floor Outside of the liquor store and let my sanity talk to the night And he was right when he said I’d see white from the loss of blood and emergency lights but we all die so it’s ok if we see red tonight bring our fists down to the floor and watch our knuckles bleed With lights and sound we get in the moment And we get caught up out on the floor again With lights and sound we get in the moment And it’s all alright, it’s all alright

Row 1 04:24
Are you sure that we’re not dead yet? I can’t say When every day feels like you’re half drunk Waiting on a hospital bed and every night is a broken thought Like the bottle tops, smashed and spent on the rocks In the river where we lost our feet Then you meet a girl who tells you that she’s gravity And all you want is to hold her down, down, down Hold her down, down Are you sure that we’re not vacant? I’m not all too sure We both brought knives to a gun fight and lost our eyes Now we can’t see straight but maybe it’s the wine Maybe it’s the wine that we kissed off of brown paper bags In the center of our urban dreams I saw us lying on rooftops, our backs supine I saw myself ask you if you were still alive And you said, I was never that bad in life And you said, I was never that lost in life And I said, I was never that good in life And I said, I was never that found I want the rights to your romance And the sequel too, the sequel too We dream of sirens below us

I don’t want to be another amalgam I just like the color of coal, and you know, I found it in the skyline, found it in the ocean I found it in my eyes, I found it in the cold So go ahead and drink the salty water Go ahead and scratch your lovely throat Go ahead and throw me into the fountain Now open up your eyes, I’m turning gold Just throw me in and I will sink Just throw me in Can I bring you the sirens Can I bring you their letters Can I bring you the ocean Can I bring you the coastline I was a rabbit dancing on one foot I was a fox you snared in the snow I was the scarf you wrapped around your neck I was your coat in the winter’s cold So go ahead and drink the salty water Go ahead and scratch your lovely throat Go ahead and throw me into the fountain Now open up your eyes, I’m turning gold Just throw me in and I will sink Just throw me in Can I bring you the sirens Can I bring you their letters Can I bring you the ocean Can I bring you the coastline I don’t want to be another amalgam I just like the color of coal, and you know, I found it in the skyline, found it in the ocean I found it in my eyes, I found it in the cold

It starts with lights littered in tiny whirlpools Sucking towards nothing but leading to His head deep in her neck As their feet two step As their bodies undulate Arguments with gravity You were searching for something That you had all along And somewhere in between or after A woman in a white dress is seen behind the trees Like shutters Framing her in thoughts of stale sunlight Like veils of Sunday hangovers when the air is so bright that the light just seems to be You were searching for something That you had all along
