many things about me
only you will ever know
and you told me many things
that have fallen out of my ear hole
I don't need alcohol
to confess that I'm sorry
I would gladly tell you to your face
if you were brave enough to ask me
I'm tired
I'm tired of falling asleep
on everything important to me
I hope you know, you did this to me
I hope you know, thank you darling

Sugarpea #179 Jigsaw
01:49
|
|||
|
Threw another jigsaw against the wall
watched it fall into place as it hit the floor
like a tesselate made from my broken heart
I didn’t need it so I swept it apart
and I wish it wasn’t easy to say
spent all my wishes just to make it that way
and now I wish it was easy to do
Cuz no one gives a god damn when I say “I love you”
I mean it, I mean it, I mean it, I mean it
but what can I do before you start to believe that
but fuck it, fuck it, fuck it
maybe Im the only one who needs to

I’m having trouble breathing
I’m staying home tonight
But do I need a reason
I mean I’m always static, right?

Get me out of this
get me out of my head
somewhere that I’d like
haven’t found it yet
My limbs are weighted
all I taste is blood
trying hard to leave
but I’m down here for good
I’m just bored
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
Hang me in the gallery
for the world to see
what a great performance piece
one and only
Watch me smile again and again
watch me lie to all of my friends
“See here what this represents;
blue lips, blue fingertips.”
Sorry for short greetings
I’m having trouble breathing
I’ll be down in just a second
If I could only get a proper grip
Oh, you all look so lovely
and I can stop from squirming
long enough to take your selfie
but short of breath to beg that you help me
Dump me in the dumpster
Leave me in the gutter
Hit me with a taxi cab
So I’m picking teeth instead of picturing
you and him together
Our commissioned piece was so much better

Sugarpea #183 Cradle
00:49
|
|||
|
Oh, I'll sleep when I'm dead
in a mahogony cradle softer than my bed
And I'll become a warning
slightly sad but boring
like your words in my head
I'll keep my headphones on
I'll keep my converse sneakers
And you can keep the rest
Just let the worms gorge on my fingers

Trust me, love. This is sincere
the reason why I asked you here
to cheer you up and drink some beer
apologize and go from here
and I found myself distracted
as you talked about your ex
your trailing, feeble fingers
silly toy between your breasts
I could see you next to me
if either one of us was in one piece
I can't imagine what you're going through
but that didn't stop us kissing drunkenly
Maybe one day we'll get our lives on track
but until then I guess I'm holding back
You didn't lure me into anything
but if you insist...
lets let the last night just be that

Sugarpea #185 Validate
01:20
|
|||
|
Give me a moment
I've gotta figure this out
Cuz I'm not sleeping
and I am chronically down
Don't you want me
Don't I sing to you
oh so sweetly
Don't you think I'm cool
Please just tell me
I'm a handsome dude
Please just help me
I have been too cruel
to myself
since you left (my room)
since you left (my life)
since you left (this world)
validate me
|
||||

Im drawing a blanket
Cuz the words have left my head
So many adventures
That have yet to be written
But Id rather sleep instead...

Sugarpea #187 Down
01:42
|
|||
|
I don’t mean to be mean
Don’t want to be seen obscene
but you’re smothering me
with a 100 lb pillow full of guilty feelings
Here is the line in the sand
and you crossed it
tied it up like a noose
and slipped it round my neck
I am no magician
but I’m all chained up in anxiety
and talking to you
gives the faint impression of drowning
and you drag me down
when I’m already low
room to jump I am taking us both
down
|

Sugarpea #188 Apologies
01:05
|
|||
|
I am sorry
to disappoint
but if that’s all that matters
then what is the point
I am sorry
to disappoint
still going down the line
and I’m losing my voice

Sugarpea #189 Just Do It
01:28
|
|||
|
What if we did it
if we just gave in
Yeah, we weighed inhibition
and it all caved in
I say we do it
give me just one kiss
It could be nothing
Let’s just do it
*Cue cheesy sounds to express that magical feeling we all hope for but so rarely get from a simple first kiss (or any kiss really)*
Oh…

Sugarpea #190 Bad Brain
02:08
|
|||
|
There are many things I am
but smooth is what I’m not
and my tongue is very talented
at getting poor results
But my brain is even worse
at saying what I want
I could spin for hours
and never touch the plot
No I haven’t got the looks
but I’ve read in certain books
that a spark in the right moment
is sometimes all it took
but every fire that I start
is never bright enough
to bring a pretty moth my way
and yet I never turn it off
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
The rains gonna come
like it or not
but I don’t think I
ever want it to stop
It really fits my mood
the lightning hits me too
the flashing on the wall
shows me who is who
I’m not alone in here
alone in this room
the creeper keeps me company
I hope he takes me too
|

Sugarpea #192 Gideon
01:24
|
|||
|
I kept you locked up
In a tower only i could reach
Locked the door shut
And buried the keys
Justified my actions
With unrequited love
You loved me once or so you said isn’t that enough
I am Gideon
I am the obsidian prophet
I held you in my head
But its time to let you out
|
||||
16. |
Sugarpea #193 Yes
01:18
|
|||
|
I cannot stand your hands
On my shoulders
Or on my waist
And frankly
Your sincerity
Has completely gone to waste
I cannot stay here
An extra guest
In limited space
I could have had a piece
If I had simply
Told you yes
Guess I’m alone again
Unless I’m out with friends
But please lets keep it to bars
Or just play tag in Bott park
Even if you find me
At least your touch is fleeting
But I never say yes
so yes I guess that means I’m leaving
|
||||
17. |
||||
|
I feel my skin is crawling
I feel my brain has died
I feel my aching eye lids
Over my throbbing eyes
I feel the precious madness
Is finding better men
I feel the weight of my seatbelt
I see the roadblocks ahead
Just get me home this evening
Ill do the rest

This is it
This is it
for a long long time
Its that feeling
of starting
and ending I can’t define
Finally
had this dream
where I saw what I wanted
and the look
on your face was new
but left me haunted
What does it mean
nothing at all
it was just a dream

I will take care of you
I will hold you and feed you
Fill the needs you cant do
If your limbs go limp
and your tongue goes slack
You can speak through me
from the perch on my back
You shall not want or need for nothing
If you’re crumbling then I will come running
I may seem weak, but there’s strength within me
Strength enough for two, because who would I have without you
I will take care of you
Low in the hallways, or late in your room
If you have no voice, you can have mine
sealed in a jar with your favorite lines

Lets see...
left my car at a bar at the end of the evening
passed out, while we’re out, I still have trouble sleeping
Cloudy eyes, like I’m high, but its just the allergies
snot drips from my nose, like my terrible prose
and I still cant find a mood that really matches my clothes
Ive got a show tonight but work in the morning
Ive got a car to grab, so I better start walking
Maybe I’ll see you
But if I dont, I’m sure I’ll be too fucked to care
|

Do you need a recap
We played and thats that
Filled in for an emergency
My pedal died on stage
And we were all the rage
But we phoned in on the opening
Now we’re all hanging out
But Id like to sit down
Without so many ppl around me
But wouldn't you know
I keep all of my ghosts
Near my lungs so I can keep breathing
But thats exactly why
Id rather stay inside
The wounds that Ive got are still healing

He wants to take his life, and who am I to tell him no
We led him to the lions head, he saw his own funeral
He’s not the first and no, I know
that he’s not the worst and no, I don’t know why
he says that it hurts and today would be a good day to say goodbye
He doesn’t mind the congregation, but no pics will be taken
I turned my head and missed, the somewhat loud altercation
Moms got a bruise, my brother is the usher
I watch confused, one star after the other
So I crept into the black, but there was no turning back
had to face this was his end as he ended it with permanent sleeping gas
|

Today is just like any other day
so of course I am going to sleep it away
Let the folks have the car while I’m riding the waves
shut my eyes and slip into dreams
and I slept while the world kept turning
kids are splashing in the plaza
everybody else is burning
cause this town ain’t got no water
and the sirens keep on wailing
here for victims and dummies
and all my friends are chillin’ out
or just out chillin’ for drinks
and here I’m shaking from the chills
and rolling round on my tummy
I try to sleep without the world
and still the world is sleeping on me
|

I know that it is for the best
but your kiss on my lips hasn’t left me yet
and I never really learned how to tourniquet
maybe that’s why I feel I’m missing a limb
There’s a part of me that will always be hers
And everything I am now is slightly deformed
as if mangled in a tragic accident
I’d hide my pretty face but there’s nothing left of it
It was good, now it’s over
and believe me, I am over you
but the damage I have done to myself
has left me less of the boy, than the one you met

Darling, Darling, are you any better
since you fell and you bumped your head
Darling Darling, tell me is it better
waking up in your big warm bed
I would join you if I could
but I wouldn’t do you any good
I fear I’m tender like a nerve
and my hands would turn to hooks
Darling, Oh darling
How I miss you
How I wish you’d just appear
Darling, Oh darling
How I’d kiss you
How I’d whisper in your ear
(I’m so full of wishful thinking)
Sugar, sugar could you lift me up now
cause I’ve got no energy
Honey, honey, got my hands all sticky
in the mess I’ve made of things
I would hold you if I could
but I’ve got the midas touch
the memories I held
have been altered and been tarnished
|

Why not let it go
What harm could it do
No one is contesting
that I’m the bigger fool
Must you find new lows
or the previously mentioned
I can’t even argue
defend my own intentions
Think I got the message
Loud and clear
Who knew you felt so strongly
I will disappear
I have overstayed
the warmest of your welcomes
I’ll see you when the time comes
if it ever does

Been spending all my free time
on these awkward romances
I hear your whispered rumors
See your embarrassed glances
You think that I’m obsessed
Think I should shut myself down
but when you’re lonely like me
It helps to run around
I just want to make you smile
cuz mine has gone out of style
I just want to speak so sweet
cuz no one speaks sweet to me
I just want to feel my heart beat
I think I might be dead
because I don’t feel anything
Been fighting apathy
but it’s a part of me
Everything’s a chore to me
and your interests bore me
I’d rather play a game
head to head with Cupids army
100 cherubs with bows
1 bloody pincushion aptly shaped like me
I give myself to girls
and find I am always returned
Avert your eyes
If I lived like you I would surely die
of boredom

Sugarpea #205 Therapy
01:48
|

Is it me or do we spend a lot of time together
Wishing that we were motivated past the subtle motions of sliding shots between our lips
And if we really try would we be better humans
Prescribe me sex, drugs, and apathy
Its better than therapy
Its better than sleeping
I spend my days
Struggling to find a steady
Rhythm but lose it in
the ebb and flow
Of sleeping because Im always
Overloaded with the music
And getting weaker every moment
Prescribe me sex drugs and apathy
Its better than sleep
Its better than therapy
keep me tired and unhappy
Its better than writing
Its better than eating
Its better than coping
Its best for self indulging
Its better for killing
Legitimate feelings

Sugarpea #206 No Thrills

Not a thing has come to me I don’t think it will
The sun has set again and here I am without a thrill
Nothing but a speeding ticket racing down some hill
Nothing but my allergies And today’s forgotten pill

Sugarpea #207 His Heart
00:34
|

|
This is the end
For our intrepid hero
Found him in pieces
Underneath the Bijou
It was his mind that spread him
Over the western tracks
His beating heart was always
What kept you coming back
All the Queen’s horses and all the Queen’s men
Assembled pieces to make him whole again
Sewed up his torso, and filled his body with sand
His beating heart was all he had left intact
