In Gloves
03:27

At the private club
When the weather’s hot
Watch them swing them back-and-forth
They like to play a lot!
Scrolling through the waste
Stopped to look at some
I was surprised to see you wearing
Gloves in a strange location
I’ll never be seen in
Gloves for a celebration
Too fancy for me
Where you at in this?
Dressed like a marine
Wearing medals round your neck and gloves

Fraid I Might Die

Fraid I might die
With every beat I get older
Fraid I might die
With every beat I get closer

Talk Loud
02:30
|
|||
Close up
Do what it takes to be
Passed over when the big question comes
Don’t ask me
Slow up
Don’t rush your tongue to speak
If you need assurance from someone
Don’t ask me
Talk loud and remove all doubt of insecurity
Don’t know how to be uncomfortable
I see all the tell-tale signs I criticize in me
Don’t know how to be uncomfortable

Price Tag
03:00
|

If I am smiling show me the price tag behind it
And if I struggle send me a bill for the damage
Take a little extra for the trouble that I left you feeling down
When I’m mistaken tally the fee you’ll be making
And if I’m comfy add up the margins made on me
Don’t forget to scare me into thinking that you care about me now
Went to the store at the door a crowd of people
Waited in line at the time to get the sale
But they were out I’m about to watch a movie
What would I get if they sent it in the mail?

The Pool
02:26
|
|||
Fell face down
Let water fill my ears and steal the sound
I tried to count the tiles but I got lost
Who’s blocking out the sun?
I can’t see the pattern
While the air calls me back
I’d rather lay in the pool
Just floating
|

Home alone not much to do
Clean the house so I feel better
In the morning trucks will come
Put my trash out by the curb
Over and again, sent to an island
Till next week I’ll send another bag away
Over and again, sent to an island
Till next week I’ll send another bag away
Pushing daisies on my grave
Plastic flowers never die
Everybody with all that money
No need, no care, no shame
I don’t know

The way you look at me
There’s something that you need
I can’t help but picture you below
Don’t be so sensitive
It’s just the life you live
Can’t compare to one you’ll never know
You’ll try to show me
Your visibility
But I won’t see you in my
View from the sky
So now you’re speaking up
You say you’ve had enough
I can’t hear you over all this noise

Boiling Water
03:06
|

Power off
Now we can walk
It’s a perfect explanation for a party
Find someone
That you can trust
Send a message with a paper in your pocket
We can talk until the early morning
You will be safe by me
Until we find electricity
Smoke will clear
But we know
Things will never be the way they were before
Boiling water

Accidental Interaction
03:10
|
|||
Do you know where you’ll be staying?
I hear my place was offered
I don’t mind but I’m leaving
Do you want to follow
Me to where I live?
Make sure you’re quiet
My roommates are sleeping
Walk in through to my apartment
Up the stairs I’ll be there
Lock the door behind ya
I don’t want my friends to
Know that you stayed here
They wake up early
Be out by morning
Guess I’ll tell you goodnight
I hope it’s to your satisfaction
Cause you were not on my mind
Just accidental interaction

Nighttime Party
02:29
|
|||
Wave when I see you pulling closer
You smile like me
Passing displays I’ve driven under
Were these all here? Was I?
Wait till I have my nighttime party
Get back in my dumb groove
Watch your reaction’s gotten faster
Were you listening?
Trying to remember conversations
Were you listening? Taking
So many pictures with your family
What’s one more gonna do?

Good Thing
02:15
|
|||
It’s a good thing that I’ve got
Maybe someone who could watch over me
Singing to me
Till it’s something that I know
