Quantify 03:34
you can quantify your terror analyze every corner every crack in the windows of your room you can paint without vision no expectations or revision besides they'll all say you said something whether or not you meant to filling up the prescriptions and all debauchery ending left before i grew up before i could be a fool and you feel like you might fall off the face of the earth and you take so much and you give so little to your worth the thoughts winding and tangling the nerves in your brain and you hope to some god you wont always be this way you can quantify your terror reading up on the disorder but calling yourself a faulty machine wont do much of anything desperate for some consistence and when you're not down just at a distance floating somewhere flatlined in the stratosphere and you feel like you might fall off the face of the earth and you take so much and you give so little to your worth the thoughts winding and tangling the nerves in your brain and you hope to some god you wont always be this way

we’re all trying to walk the straight line between too much and too little time oh what you want you say you cant find we’re all trying to conquer the tight rope while exposing our high hopes out there on the line my limited hands my limited mind my limited words my limited time we’re all just pennies on the scale dated and frail just trying to pay the bills but will you miss it when it’s gone when you've sung your last song when you’ve painting your last one i want to write i want to swear i want this out of me by which way i don’t care just let me let this go right now, today i don’t need validation from anyone but me

Texas Heat 04:35
The Texas heat Well it's something to rely on When there's not much to rely on And certainty Seems only for the crazed I guess I understand The craze about it But I don't wanna be The girl standing Under the lamplights anymore Been there once twice So many times before I let my heart drift A little too far ahead And the moon a metaphor For all things Hiding their battered side On the bed Swallowing these rocks You’d think id get a boost From all the minerals But I've been going at this Sometime in the waiting room With a man without hands Beating me too At a game I've played before But forgotten the rules So if you know em Wont you please whisper them Back to me I cant wake up from this nothing Solitary Wondering why to bother besides For the people you see That tell me they’re so proud We love you Through the smog and grief Sometimes I think That things are getting better So something must go wrong I get these headaches and the weather So unpredictable Filling our lungs with mold And I hope as I grow old I get a little bit bolder Swallowing these rocks You’d think I'd get a boost From all the minerals But I've been going at this Sometime in the waiting room With a man without hands Beating me too At a game I've played before But forgotten the rules So give the guy your Red ticket to the carousel Constant pirouettes that drag you Back down to hell I've got nothing left but bile So you can tell The black eyed dog That I've got nothing left To keep him well To keep me well

I Never Knew 03:41
I never knew that love Could be so sweet Walked your honey home When you were fourteen I never knew that love Could be so sweet I never knew that love Could be so sad Scooped up your darling When things got bad I never knew that love Could be so sad Could it be true? Why didn't I believe ‘till you Were holding back tears In the middle of the room She left so soon I never knew that love Could be that way Didn't have a single Word to say so I’ll Hold on tight Wont let go till May Until you know her As the summer breeze Breathe her in She'll fill your lungs with ease And whisper secrets Through the tall oak trees Of what she's seen I want to send you a letter Send you a book Tell you how beautiful Your love looked And everyone knew it too Everyone knew it too I never knew that love Could be so sweet Walked your honey home When you were fourteen I never knew that love Could be so sweet I never knew that love Could be so right We said goodbye by The end of the night but I never knew that love could Be so right

No Alibi 04:29
i’m a wandering child in a department store between the aisles shelves snake like a maze stomach bubbling i’m a fish in a pool of piss and self-pity the algae floats to the top as if stagnance could be pretty i’m an actor in a roll i no longer know how to play i’m a catholic, guilt ridden with no God or faith i’m a child begging my mom wont you please lift me so i can see where the light begins is it the moon or just the beams of headlights passing leaving as quickly as they’re seen so if you don't say hello i understand why i say i work for you but sleep all day and i never look you in the eye i wake up disappointed hating myself so i understand if you just walk past me i understand if you've already tried i understand if you just cant help me because i've got no alibi
