Medicine, I'm reticent to take one today
Prescribed by hands, those damn deft hands who just know what to say
Incubate, resuscitate, then refrigerate, make a new promise, the commissary will switch and then bait, yeah
Oh,
Don’t you understand, am I being clear?
Don’t you understand, am I being clear?
Don’t you understand, am I being clear?
Don’t you know that I can’t repeat repeat repeat myself myself myself myself my
Luminous lugubrious limnologist is spouting facts, findings, figures, fuck up my day now
Medicine, I'm reticent to take one today
Prescribed by hands, those damn deft hands who just know what to say
Oh,
Don’t you understand, am I being clear?

Mail with Your Name
03:24
|

I've been standing here for so long
Tryin' to impress everyone you know
Stick around for a drink, maybe 3
Forget everything I've seen
Just in time the phone rang
Through the static I was listening
Muffled words of affection
Not meant for me
January moves slow
Just in time to watch the heating fees grow
Mail still comes with your name
In a pile on the stairs all the same
Just in time the phone rang
Through the static I was listening
Muffled words of affection
Not meant for me
I've been standing here for so long
Tryin' to impress everyone you know
Stick around for a drink, maybe 3
Forget everything I've seen
Just in time the phone rang
Through the static I was listening
Muffled words of affection
Not meant for me
I was somewhere in Wisconsin
When I heard someone say something
Bout why I was wonderin'
Where were we?

Visible Limbo

I was asleep for oh so long
You moved your things out, then I woke up alone
A note on the dresser said that you had been lying to yourself
Probably for the best, with my eyes closed, you couldn’t ask for help
I wanted more than you willing to give
Now I see life is just time through a sieve
We catch the thoughts and times we want to recall
The rest fall through to nothing at all
For the past several weeks, I can’t fall back to sleep
I’ve been searching for the rug that you pulled out from under me
Funny thing is you took it with you for the next guy who comes around
Mirage around him, he thought he was standing on solid ground

Two Places at Once
02:55

Things were so much easier when
We could be in two places at once
While we danced around in the snow
I don’t know how you never noticed
You’ve got something on your mind
I’ve been driving through the night
This has got to end sometime
And I’m gonna put my foot down
Things were much believable when
I would polish the floors as we talked
And as we tussled around in the sheets
I don’t know how you never noticed
Sounds like someone’s tired
Bout losing their faith
Don’t you get stuck
Making the same mistakes again again again
You’ve got something on your mind
I’ve been driving through the night
This has got to end sometime
And I’m gonna put my foot down

What worries me is not the present
It’s what’s to come
I’m not concerned for where I’ve gone
But from where I’ll be from
I’ve become what I loath
Said I’d give you safe passage
I sunk your boat
See I was an ocean
You were lost in me
You tried to batton down the hatches
I rained relentlessly
You were caught in a hairpin
So I took you down
But you stayed amongst the water
Trying not to drown
I’ve become what I loath
Said I’d give you safe passage
I sunk your boat
Now you’re miles deep
And the pressure is slowly
Coming in fast
You just want to know if we
Can just shake hands
Turn this squall into a breezy
Day we both left us
Said goodbye to you and me
