Eat My Heart 02:57
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

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?

Puppies 02:37
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
