Electric Veins
03:36

Sit right next to me: Electricity
There is something in me I cannot control
Hold it in my hands, nothing seems to last
Gotta be broken to break these things so fast
All these patterns now: circles, squares and hours
Everyday I come back to the same old flower
Hey! Hey! Mr. Brain, slow down heart of pain
Running in circles and I ignore the sprain
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say if somebody is listening, nobody understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
Try to explain I feel more alien than man
When I was a child, I ran through the wild
Zapping with my fingers every demon I saw
All this energy flows too quickly
I can't help it I can't sell it but I'll dwell on it more
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say if somebody is listening, nobody understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
Try to explain I feel more alien than man
Somethings always missing, I never think anything's whole
So I try to ignore the weather and I try to control my soul
Cuz it seems to me these things obscene are more than just my dreams unseen
But now I realize the way I dream is obsessing over everything
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say if somebody is listening, nobody understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
I feel the current pulsing quickly to the rhythm of the band
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say you don't know what's happening but someone understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
Try to explain I feel more alien than man

Tuesday Evenings

It's so inconvenient to make out to your vinyl
Cuz after 5 or 6 good songs ya gotta flip the damn thing over
I'm a fan of sketchy locations and taking you to them like it's a fucking vacation
I like goin nowhere and we're saying that's where this goes
It's so funny when you don't think about it so let's not ever think about it
Ashes and leaves swiftly blowin away
I guess there's more to life than permanence
Let's go swimming even tho it's winter let's get drunk even tho it's noon
I'm just thinkin of some bad ideas in case we need something to do
I don't wanna think about this too much
Never cried over an ending before
I don't wanna be the one who ends this
Can we just do it like we've done it before?
It's so inconvenient to not want this to end
Cuz after 5 or 6 good songs I end up thinkin about it again
I'm a fan of watching movies with my friends on a Tuesday evening
I like when you're there maybe I'm crossing over into brand new territory
I don't wanna think about this too much
Never cried over an ending before
I don't wanna be the one who ends this
Can we just do it like we've done it before?
I don't wanna talk about this all night
You don't wanna talk at all
I can't pretend I'm good at this stuff
Can we just do it like we've done it before?
I got here as fast as I could considering
I live my whole life on the fence
the most important thing you taught me babe
is that you can't make people make sense
I don't wanna think about this too much
Never cried over an ending before
I don't wanna be the one who ends this
Can we just do it like we've done it before?
I don't wanna talk about this all night
You don't wanna talk at all
I can't pretend I'm good at this stuff
Can we just do it like we've done it before?

Cigarettes for Breakfast
04:35

A dozen stale cookies and a cigarette for breakfast
Everywhere I go I stand accused of being reckless
Locked up in the bathroom with a needle in the night
All because my mama couldn't feel things right
So come on baby maybe let me fold your clothes
Doesn't really matter what I do not know
A bottle of flat liquor just to tide me over
Baby in the belly and a bed of dead clover
Standing on the train tracks with police men screaming
But now I got a pillow and some dinner for the evening
So come on baby maybe let me fold your clothes
Only really matters where the old men roam
Now it is a heroin night
Now it is a heroine night
Now it is a heroin night
Now it is a heroine night
Now it is a heroin night
Now it is a heroine night
Left that old facility with bed bugs and parole
Stepped out on the pavement wearing all my favorite clothes
I need food to feed the two of us but need to numb the hippocampus
All because Sammy said there's no need to fuss
So come on baby maybe let me fold your clothes
Doesn't really matter of you're young or old
Now it is a heroin night
And how do I herald the light
Now it is a heroine night
And how do I herald the light

Can we climb to the highest branch of that old tree
We can talk about all the things that we would like to see
And we'll be so untouched by society
And we'll be so in touch with just being free
I must say I don't give a fuck about what we're supposed to be
Because I always enjoy your company
You're my best friend daily and I hope you agree
And when we're together we can just be
It might not be the easiest thing to do
But existing is that easy when I'm with you
Let's walk over to the river and lay down right beneath the sun
Let's look at life with smiles on our faces, laugh at all the things we've done
Let's meet over buy the corner where our paths always collide
Let's sit down in the moonlit field and feel the fear of failure die
Let's put a tent in the woods at the highest point of the middle of nowhere
Let's see how many people call us strange as if we care
Let's venture into the great unknown to set our hearts alive and let our dreams unfold
Let's wander while we wonder why we can't just live this way forever
It might not be the easiest thing to do
But existing is that easy when I'm with you
It might not be the easiest thing to do
But existing is that easy when I'm with you
It might not be the easiest thing to do
But existing is that easy when I'm with you
It might not be the easiest thing to do
But existing is that easy when I'm with you

Alone

Sitting down beside my bed
The universe inside my head
It shows me what I want again
Always trying to tidy up
The world, though it's more than enough
There are just some things that I don't understand
See a road to wander down
A pleasant orchard far from town
But there's nobody else around
When time stands still and I am free
I think of lonely company
There are some things that don't simply come to me
Lord let me be alone
Take away my cares
I'm tired of wanting more
Don't let me be alone
See her sitting on the floor
I wonder why I'm being ignored
Though we just spoke an hour ago
My petty mind is now awake
Though nothing's bruised, there's no mistakes
There are just some things that I don't understand
Lord let me be alone
Take away my cares
I'm tired of wanting more
And longing for what's not there
Lord let me be alone
Take away my cares
I'm tired of wanting more
Don't let me be alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
