Dirty Laundry

so verbal
it's tangible in the humid air
secure though
in knowing what feelings to spare
console me
crooked fingers carry on
inform me
why have they been gone so long
do not tell me
nothing's ever going to fit me right
I will wear my dirty laundry out tonight
oh darling
I'll keep you here by my side
so loving
I'll take your fallacies in stride
it's unnerving
what it takes to make me feel alright
I will wear my dirty laundry out tonight
let me show you
what it takes to make me feel alright
I will wear my dirty laundry out tonight

Naive
03:05

I take the string
and tangle it
I hold the glass a bit too tight
the words I say
they don't mean shit
I never know quite how to come off right
right
I've grown afraid
I'm losing it
arrival and departure overgrown
I'm so naive
I'm tired of it
cut out my tongue, my mind will not be known
known
known
no
no
the time is gone
I'm scrambling
still prying floorboards looking for a clue
I need someone to tell me what to do
I need someone to tell me what to do

Glue
03:45
|

don't try to feed me
I'm not hungry
leave me be
hands glued together
have no clue what's
good for me
and I will sit here
for the rest of my life
yes I will sit here
and when the wind blows
takes all my money
my company
won't catch me crying
I won't say anything
I'll keep it clean
and I will lay here
for the rest of my life
yes I will lay
for the rest of my life
for the rest of my life

To Be Fair
03:41

look at my hands, post-hammer, stitching up your broken heart
I guess my words don't matter if they're not a work of art
pretending you can't hear me isn't gonna get you far
you'll spend your whole life running from what you already are
and I could sit here for hours
blowing smoke up at the moon
remembering your sour voice
and hoping I'll forget it soon
these melting months go quickly but the days, they feel like years
and I spend each one wishing you weren't shouting in my ears
I'm hitting walls consistently, I'm running out the clock
cause while the door's wide open, I'm still picking at the lock
and the winter sky it makes me wonder
clear and dark against the snow
how the hell'd I get so lost
without a single place to go?
and every star is like a needle
tearing through the sky, my skin
and you're the light behind each pinprick
but I'm the one letting them in
everything is crumbling and time slips by like water through my fingers
and when I'm all alone at night, I wrap myself in how the summer lingers
now you're convinced you hate me and I can't say that you're wrong
but I'm not cause for your ambivalence, that's been there all along
and I know there's nothing I can tell you
that will make your sorrow slow
I heard that you were doing fine
that's all I really need to know
that's all I really need to know

Turning Blue
03:45
|
|||
these words are mine but yours to keep
you've stolen my ability to speak
aloud, my tongue is turning blue
I'll lay my head upon the grass
and watch new strangers walk politely past
I'm gone, there's nothing they can do
ooooooo
and some may say a dirty word
is better written down than heard,
but I could not be paid to watch my mouth
so here I'll stand, suitcase in hand
there's nothing here that I command
come on! just chew me up and spit me out
ooooooo
