Lyrics improvised
|
||||
2. |
||||
This ambivalence
Is getting out of control
Rolling on my backside
Leaving my guts vulnerable
I certainly do care
What happens from here
I'm just so relaxed
The urgency has disappeared…
|
||||
3. |
||||
I’m a sucker for an open mouth
I saw your trembling stems
I had to check it out
And I could smell your sweet sweet honey
I had to find my way in
But I cant find a way out
And you caught me in your teeth
I feel my limbs slowly being digested
If you wanted to know
I’d say I’m deeply invested
Its a process that takes its time
I hope you find me delicious
As the hours fly by
|
||||
4. |
||||
Did you realize
That you made a mistake
Or was it done with intent
To shake the semblance of fate
I mean you realize
That you’ve played into
Your psyche’s plays
And yet you play it again
And so you spend your days
Engulfed in introvert rage
Impossible for you to see a way out
And for whatever its worth
You’ve more than whatever works
Just take whatever it takes to work it out
Co-dependent…
Masochistic…
You’re dead set on disappointment
|
||||
5. |
||||
Its time to take it all off
Before we take it all on
A kiss on every inch
I slide my lips upon
I just want to be
Sincerely yours
I just want you here with me
Nothing more
In a crowded room
Nothing but you
|
||||
6. |
||||
False waking on my bedroom floor
Your eyes are emeralds I cant help but adore
The homeless caravans cross the streets
Cycling shadows coming up beside me
And the rain wet tar is almost blinding
As traffic lights reflect on my dirty windshield
Disheveled worms crawl from their homes to safety
And every day I crawl to accomplish the same thing
|
||||
7. |
||||
For the first time since I left the lighthouse
I hit a brand new low
I was thinking its been good to know you
But have I been good to know
Cuz I prepare, and I wait
And I think, but then fall asleep
And I’ve started gaining weight
I can do better, at least,
I think, I know, I want to
In my space I lay here dormant
The problem may be my bed
I sleep and abuse myself
In the same place I write this music
|
||||
8. |
||||
Can you imagine
A world that just happens
To be the one where I move out
Ill start the packing
Less I be backtracking
From the freedom I’ve always longed for
Let me have this
My good luck is in fashion
Let me let me let me get what I want
Lord knows, this would be the best time

Sugarpea #308 This Much
01:22
|
|||
If you tore my arms off
And threw them far apart
It would not encapsulate
How much I miss you, girl
I miss you this much
And you’re just like a drug
No cost is ever too steep
I don’t want to stop
Just give your heart to me
You’ve got me fucked up
|
||||

Sugarpea #309 Date Night
01:06
|
|||
Cant get the night to ourselves
My friends are calling for help
I feel as useful as a concrete sandwich
But here you are next to me
The blonde bartender makes three
I’d better shut my mouth if I can manage
|
||||
11. |
||||
Tied up in bedside manner
My head served on a platter
I cannot hide
My teeth will clatter
Tied up in my tongue’s nooses
Pretty good for bad excuses
I cannot lie
Body language tells the whole truth
|
||||
12. |
Sugarpea #311 Gone Widow
01:34
|
|||
Dead like the leaves in the fall
May as well been silent
No response to my call
Dead like webs in my window
Married to the glass
I want my gone widow
Let this be dead like me
And let me live for me again
Live like the wires that run
Live like the words on my tongue
Love while I think that I can
Live like I’m whole again
|
||||
13. |
Sugarpea #312 The Freak
01:28
|
|||
Here I am again
Laying on the floor
And I’m wondering
Why I’m here
Just a lonely freak
Proven right again
24 hours without
My antidepressants
But nothing could make
me feel normal
Because i feel your rejection
Like I’m less than human
|
||||
14. |
Sugarpea #313 Fangs
01:53
|
|||
Then again if I’m being honest
On the situation upon us
I was hoping we could blossom
Disappointed that we lost it
But it never could hurt as bad as her
I never meant to be malicious
Who knew my fangs were highly dangerous
You haven’t seen me when I’m trying
But Ill feel guilty that you thought so
|
||||
15. |
||||
I finally bought myself a futon mattress
But now I've got nobody to share it with
And I keep thinking of the girls I could talk to
Knowing you and I are completely through
Its not as if I'm a charmer anyways
Flirting in vain is about the worst that I do
So I remain desperately single
I can crawl back to the people and sites where I'd go
Hoping for a pickmeup
But all my leads have gone cold
I should get used to this anyways
But despite all my crippling failures, I wont
|
||||
16. |
||||
Poor British accents in tow
Pour down glass after glass of moscato
This girl I used to know
Is a Mansion dancer now
They took bets to see
On how soon I'd mention her partial nudity
And I would stay all night
But I'm somebody's ride
Another birthday party
Talking to every girl
But still fucking lonely
|
||||
17. |
Sugarpea #316 942-YOU
00:43
|
|||
I'm so overwhelmed
I just cant move a muscle
And I'm growing claustrophobic
As my walls close in
I drown in rubble
|
||||
18. |
||||
And I look into your eyes.
"Do you know that I am
The boy who made your sister cry?"
I could have asked if I was
An even bigger prick
But she wont speak to me
So I must be pretty big
Let my ego do the talking
I place the receipt right in your hand
"I hope you have a good day"
But mine is surely ruined now
Its been so long that you don't recognize me...
|
||||
19. |
Sugarpea #318 The Others
01:31
|
|||
I tell myself
That all is well
I need to breath
I put myself
Through all kinds of hell
I need to leave
I'm going to see a man about a dog
I'm going to find others who all feel wrong
I'm going missing
|
||||
20. |
||||
When you’re lonely you can always sleep in my room
You can play hard to get
I will be the big spoon
And I’m terrified, to find that I
Am codependent on your attention
We do this dance and we fall
Spike the punch in the bowl
We cling together like wet leaves
We hold each other when it rains
I’m so dependent on you
You’re so dependent on me
But if we know that’s it true
How bad can it really be
|
||||
21. |
Sugarpea #320 Caterwaul
01:45
|
|||
Your advice doesn’t work anymore
And your voice is driving me mad
I left the door to my room
Open for ghosts from the past
And not a single one came through
I am haunted by the lack
Perhaps I’m the ghost after all
Perhaps I don’t sing I just caterwaul
|
||||
22. |
Sugarpea #321 Gray Days
02:01
|
|||
A dark cloud hangs over this whole town
Or maybe that’s just how I see the world now
Everyone is suffering inside their heads
And I’m suffering alone in my cold bed
The gray days have settled upon me
I’ve lost but still got atrophy
Gray matter keeps me waiting
For someone to find me\anything
I haven’t been any good for more than a year ago
And every damn day is a blur but they’re moving slow
I know there’s a lot that I should’ve said
I know there’s too much that I did instead
|
||||
23. |
||||
I want to be
But I know I am no good for you
Woe is me
I don’t expect you to feel sorry
I’m only sad because I cant
Just talk to you again
I’m only mad because I cant
See why anyone else would either
I’m guilty
I need to suffer what I put you through
I’m filthy
And I don’t think an acid bath would be too thorough
|
||||
24. |
Sugarpea #323 Cherubs
02:22
|
|||
I’m terrified by all these children in costume
All these zombies and these witches and monsters
I really wish that I could cut back and scream
Cause every cherub that I hold just reminds me
Of a future I will never have
I can turn my head to the side
And do my best to hide my sighs
I could never admit this before
But I must divert my eyes
From a future I will never have
|
||||
25. |
||||
Keep your head down
Write it all out
Work those muscles
Take those blue pills
Don’t shut doors now
Don’t cut nerves down
One foot after
On a tightrope
Black umbrella
For this daredevil
|
||||
26. |
||||
Its all down to a vote
Hands in, let em show
Oh no, we couldn’t let you go
Blood thick, but the blood runs slow
Its like you don’t even care
Dont you even wanna be here
You put on a good game face
Just another mask for your own sake
You look at me
Like I’m supposed to say
Anything
To get them off your case
I’m your rock in the front yard
Reliably, I’m never close or too far
|
||||
27. |
||||
Call me up
When you are drunk
“Write me a song
With no emotions”
The girls who keep me awake
Only want me to sing them to sleep
Call me up
To get you drunk
No, its not love
You’re used to, love
The girls who keep me awake
Just need a quick fix to sleep
Dont need a creep like me
Just need my unique brand of sweet
Just want me for quick and easy midnight treats
|
||||
28. |
||||
Lets find entertainment in human debasement
Watch horrible horror
Before I sleep in the basement
And when you get scared
you’ll have someone to hold
And the heat from jack o lanterns will fend off the cold
Lets watch all the classics
A night of suspense
All hallows eve hasn’t let me down yet
My bones may rattle
But there’s life in the dead
And I’m never alone for the graveyard shift
|
||||
29. |
||||
Dumpster diver, scavenger
Hanging with the little critters
Sleeping with a well known user
Wanting it but still a loser
Brand new ghosts collecting debt
Pay them off without regret
Its not great, but its not bad
I could do better for myself
|
||||
30. |
||||
My get rich quick scheme
Ended quickly
And I’ve hardly the money
For eating
Anything else than the ramen noodles
And the frozen pizza that’s been sitting
I’m broke but not for long
Just holding out for payday
Ill eat what I can find
Who needs expiration dates
I spent the last of my money on a bottle of whiskey
And some smokes for this girl a few evenings
ago in my room and she said likes me
But most likely for sex and the treating
Maybe I could find a nice mom to call sugar, honey, baby, or darling
And sell off my body and what little dignity is left for a couple of Bennys
