I’M NOT SCARED OF YOU guess who's back in town? back for his crown? i can't stop looking for you guess who's back in state? won't this be great? i can't stop thinking about your taste in girls, the ones who act so insecure your best conquest is always the one you haven't taken yet I'm not scared of you—but are you scared of me? you can't take us all. all castles fall, it just might take a while don't be fooled by grins; you know your end would really make me smile what's he here to see? oh is it me? what does he think i did this time? it will be fine, will it be fine? will it be fine? will it be…? i'm not scared of you—but are you scared of me? this is all a trick. you make me sick the things you say the things you think mouth so pink and hands so cold - you never grow up it's so old i'm gonna let you know it, you're no poet, you're a joke baby you're so boring, here's your warning 1, 2, 3, here’s your warning: i'm not scared of you—are you scared of me? you're an awful poet, no you don't deserve a song yeah you're back in town but you won't be here for long I'm not scared of you—but are you scared of me?

I can’t believe I’ve written so many songs about you I can’t believe that I’ve focused so much energy on you Hell, I don’t even like you I only love you God dammit, fuck you God dammit, fuck you I am not sad anymore I’m only angry, resentful, and irrational You are the poison that is running through my veins And I need a pretty girl to bite my neck and suck it out Suck it out, suck it out, suck it out, cause I hate complaining about girls But maybe this is the healthy way to get it out Not a vague self-deprecating facebook status With all the names left out I’m left out I'm left out I'm left out I'm left out

Dried Up 03:34
i drew a perfect circle in my notebook then i filled it with the rain the ink is blotched, my drawing botched and i know that i can’t do it again my shoes are turning black from all the presents that my little plants rejected my socks are full of dirt and i don’t see why i can’t be just... unaffected i can’t help but feel sorry for the trees i snapped behind the ivy fence i just heard that the bendy ones would pick you up and throw you to the sun i’m so sorry, but what’s the difference? burning up is starting to sound fun // he left his car behind the church, i watched it rot while he’s away i held her hand and let her slip inside it smelled like mold and marigold which keeps the bugs away i told her that i knew how we could fly i can’t help but feel sorry for the trees i snapped behind the ivy fence i heard the bendy ones would throw us to the sun i can’t help but feel sorry but what’s the difference? burning up is starting to sound fun the sweat drips down my legs, it smells like mud and secret meetings but my heart it is a desert and i feel the hot sun’s beating oh don’t let yourself dry out, a little circle glass can set me into smoke the lever’s broke the lever’s broke! the greenest trees in the world won’t spring you like you want ‘em to the greenest trees in the world won’t spring you like you want ‘em to you bend what you break you break what you bend with branches and friends the ground’s where you’ll end— let it happen

It's hard sometimes to remember our start, but it seems that lately you've grown so dark. Soaked in the moonlight, you sometimes still glow and I recall the gentleness that you often can show. Lunar auras help me out Give me that strength that I heard you're about. There's power in silence, but I find it hard to wait. And my energy is waning so let's cooperate. You say please be gentle, I try and I try, but my eyes have turned red from a long night of crying. The daylight is too bright and it fills me with dread Cause I feel like I’ve got a target on my head Lunar auras help me out Give me that strength that I heard you're about. There's power in silence, but I find it hard to wait. And my energy is waning so let's cooperate.

YOU’RE SO NERVOUS i can tell from the way your hands shake that you're nervous i can tell from the way your smile breaks that you're nervous i can tell from the way you spill things in your car you almost kill things oh but don't be nervous about me oh don't be nervous about me i can tell from the way you giggle that you like me i can tell from your little scribbles that you like me so excited for the day that you'll just come out and say it oh don't be nervous about me no, don’t be nervous about me too shy for even dinner and a movie i think everything about you is unruly but baby, you're not boring yes I'll say that in the morning oh don't be nervous about me i can't say i will take my own advice hand in mine never felt something so nice and so scary i can tell from the way my legs shake that I'm on it you're the only thing I see if we're being honest i've never seen such a creature pretty soul and pretty features oh I'm a little nervous about you oh I'm a little nervous about you!

Hellfire 03:21
gm dm sometimes a it's not fair of me to drag you off the boat i can't even swim well and you've got - nothin to show for it maybe i just want to crashing waves to - take me away there's no earthly reason you could want to stay i don't often write songs that i mean this bad it's just i can't even give you what little that we had there's no way that i can hold on my little parachute but i see you falling gently in the moonlight there's no reason, no reason that i can see why you should feel so willing to be listening to me sure it's nice to have you hear, but i have other concerns do you know if hellfire warms you while it burns It only takes a short phone call from her My toes can find the bottom I feel so much more secure sure the rocks can scrape up on my pale bare feet sure that stopping cars with friction tears me up along the street aphsalt stings but you still brake isn't this my millionth mistake i don't know if i am mad at me or maybe mad at you and i'm not sure why you're here - but thanks ooooooooo i've been breathing oh so hard hard and my hip bones start to hurt i don't think that getting older made it any easier so after all of the circuis and the bright lights go away? in the gray light of the morning oh who is the clown to stay (who is the clown to stay who is the clown to stay x2) there's no reason, no reason that i can see why you should feel so willing to be listening to me sure it's nice to have you here, but i have other concerns do you know if hellfire warms you while it burns

she kissed him under the mullberry bush and she kissed him under the stars she kissed him on his parents' couch and in the back seat of his car she kissed him in the pouring rain even though they got so wet but she was a flaming lesbian she just didnt know it yet she looked in her teacher's pretty eyes and said "that's really cool" this woman was the only reason the girl came to school the girl figured that role models were supposed to be that hot but she was a flaming lesbian who couldn't connect the dots she said to her wife, do you have to dear / she cried to her wife every night she asked if she'd made herself crystal clear, that she never wanted a wife her girl couldnt cry, she just hung her head, said that this was the best she could do no it wasnt the plan but i'm just not a man, else i'd never do this, would you? yeah dance with hot girls go on fast tilt-a-whirls wear the prettiest stuff you can buy your wife is too straight for your ultimate date, so lets hope she finds a real nice guy you can find some cute girls and hold their cute hands, and smile at each other a lot cause you are a flaming lesbian and sadly your ex-wife is not they smiled at the sky and at all the fireflies like it would end up meaning something but her heart was calm and still while he felt constant thrill, yeah his heart was steadily pumping boom boom boom and his hand was inching up her thigh what what oh what, what oh what could she do she said "Dude I'm a flaming lesbian and way way too cool for you."

First Year 03:14
I was in love and you were understood how could that be anything but good I knew all your beauty marks and knew all your flaws how did I end up between two jaws? Now I'm a ghost the ghost who haunts her your mouth was warm but you're not a monster Now I'm a hypocrite all grown up now you are the tea leaves in my tea cup. oooh-- now I understand, stepping back from those old plans fresh off a trip polaroids still faded Hard sweet amber, I'm still jaded. I can see the world it's a cool new place but it's quiet and cold here in outer space. oooohhhhhhh You can call me doctor, you can call me captain looking through the glass in real time action Came to see the meteor streak through past and I left foggy breath on the window glass. Clouds like Judy sings like candy Princess stories come in handy Astronauts and firefighters were so cool But the cold war and factories invented school oooooh-- now I understand, but I love spreadsheets and holding hands fingers are gloves or a globe on a t-shirt big happy smiles make my face hurt. ooooohhhhhh Sometimes I'd ask when I'd feel lost Were those things really a part of me I like spreadsheets tallying costs But I'll ask that to the amber trees. Boxes boxes numbers numbers/ I sure missed those as a plumber I saw houses kitchen sinks/ I met real people and they made me think. ooooh--- gather round the table space station thanksgiving are we able Those bad feelings were our fathers' fight We are new people in brand new daylight Smile eat and let things go we were all a little wrong and we'll keep being so. ooooohhhhh There are feelings there is knowledge I learned a lot in my first year of college I get intense and I get stuck and my grades are mostly google and good luck. I thought I knew you cover and back but I always skipped the chapter with the shark attack Now I can name it, Carcharodon but my sharks need wrinkles from now on. Slow slow moonwalks, waking up to dawn drinking tea and taking breaths and remembering I'm wrong. Slow morning walks wet grass lawn-- I don't wonder anymore where I've gone. Slow slow growing, waking up alone drinking tea and taking walks and knowing that I'm wrong

Alice 03:37
If you were a shopping cart I wouldn't know when to start Shopping for summer clothes If you were my first child I wouldn't know when you first smiled Cause I don't know how it usually goes If you were my first kiss I wouldn't know where to put my lips Well I guess I still don't If you were my first love I wouldn't compare you to any hard drugs So I guess I won't But you're not. But you're still special. Well you're not but I still care how you're feeling today You're not any of that stuff which makes you a new kind of tough and I'm something but I'll try anyway If you were a winter wind I wouldn't want you to ever end Ruffling my petals. Cause I'm a flower on a windowsill And I'm tired of being still Solving all the moonlight's riddles I wanna sunbathe on hot sand A little like Alice in Wonderland Was she dreaming the whole time? She was surprised when someone woke her up Guess I think she'd had quite enough No I don't think that I'd mind So does that mean you're going? Okay maybe that makes my chest crunch a little bit But look outside my dear it's started snowing.... I'll go. I'll go. I'll go. If you were a shopping cart, I've returned you to the car park Grocery bag in each hand And I know you wouldn't mind Spending all that trippy time Like Alice in Wonderland. Grocery bag in each hand Like Alice in Wonderland I guess you weren't my man.
