Eat My Heart

there's a feeling that I used to get as a little child
that is hard to get when you’re grown
you can drink yourself into the same kind of feeling
but most of the time you don’t
there’s a sentimental bully wants to shut me out
wants me to turn my back on what’s good and real
there’s a deadbeat junky gunna eat my heart
make me think there’s only two ways to live and feel
look down the hallway at the little one laughing
he’s kind of funny, misbehaving
you were once like that too
like you’re always gunna do
look out the window at the morning sky dancing
somebody playing with a ribbon
it’s what you always oughta do
well if that’s true it’s what you oughta do it’s what you oughta do
just like breaking rocks
just like running a life through a rock crusher
and kinda just watching sidelined
and you only look up when there’s something on fire
look up on the dawn
if you remember the dawn when it first turned on
and there’s me repeating my one life
take me down to the river and the blood wine

Better Than Nothing
03:20

when I called myself dumb
thought I’d given all I could give anyone
I was hiding from love
hiding from the things that a good one should want
when I look at it now
it’s better than nothing
at least something to talk about
when I look at it now
it’s better than nothing
better than nothing
when you called me a friend
did I even take time to know what that meant?
or only learn a lesson I oughta forget?
that you can fuck someone up and get on with it no problem
when life don’t feel sweet
I wanna go back in time and lay at your feet
I want you to spit on whatever that I mean
you know you float above me when I try to sleep
when you look at it now
was it better than nothing
or something to forget about?
when you look at it now
was it better than nothing?
was it better than nothing?
when I look at it now
was it better than nothing
or something to forget about?

Laugh
03:44

when it’s time
tell my baby that I died
when I go out
tell my baby
she’s gotta laugh at life
laugh it up
laugh at everyone
laugh at life
died in debt
don’t tell my brother that he spent
decades wasted
I won’t leave him like that
he’s gotta laugh at life
laugh it off
laugh with everyone
laugh at life

Puppies

these days the world is small and everything’s your perfect fault
when you’ve got magic in your call
them puppies bark a crazy psalm to you
so go on pull that heart around
there’s more to that than just the sound
of room to throw your weight around
I wasn’t careful I set mine down too soon
on the hillside in the morning
down the windswept valley holding on
to be closing in on something golden
in the moonlight there is fear and love like one and the same
these days the world is small and everything’s your perfect fault
when you’ve got magic in your call
them puppies bark a crazy psalm to you
so go on pull that heart around
there’s more to this than just the sound
of room to throw your weight around
I wasn’t careful I let mine down too soon
