EGG TOOTH
take it with a grain of salt , my baby
until it starts to burn, until it starts to hurt,
you can blame me
and I
won’t tire
no I tire
never gettin’ out
never getting out
never getting out, (of here)
never gettin’ out
never getting out
never getting out,
without an egg tooth.
take it with a pill,
until you start to feel
like your old self
when you’re coming down
you're feet are on the ground
but it’s comforting
then I, won’t stare
no I, wont stare
never gettin’ out
never getting out
never getting out, (of here)
never gettin’ out
never getting out
never getting out
the ship is going down
you feel it in your bones
and then you start to drown
The ship is going down
The ship is going down
The ship is going down
never gettin’ out
never getting out
never getting out, (of here)
we’re never gettin’ out
we’re never getting out
we’re never getting out

It Don’t Pay The Bills
I was born a wreck
but i’ve been here before
my hearts been on borrowed time since,
nineteen ninety-four….
my dreams are laced
with silver linings
mixed up with gin and a lime and a
false reminder.
How am I supposed to fake this
when I’m always spinning
How am I supposed to take it
when you’re psycho killing
my love could cover ocean floors
and hold time still, but it don’t pay the bills.
my sweetest daydream
would never cross your mind
i spliced a mixtape that got
eaten by automatic rewind
How am I supposed to fake this
when I’m always spinning
How am I supposed to take it
when you’re psycho killing
my love could cover ocean floors
and hold time still, but it don’t pay the bills.

The Bottom
Summers come and go
like poetry and prose
and no one has to know
you’ve reached the bottom
higher than you know
the naked eye will show
there's still a lot of room at the bottom
—
But don't be sad about it, you know
you’ll never win
it was the gift you loved to give
So don’t get mad about it
like you always do
it was the path you had to choose.
avenues and roads
boulevards and homes
just a little street map to the bottom
the fruit was hanging low
you love to climb it though
so you can see it at the bottom
don't be sad about it
you’ll never win
it was the gift you loved to give
So don’t get mad about it
like you always do
it was the path you had to choose.
don't be sad about it

So don’t get mad about it
like you always do

Speak Ill Of The Dead
I was born of a suicide
a useless body cast aside
underestimated me
only to find myself
right where I always was
and where I couldn’t be
I couldn’t wait to hold my breath
Just a party trick at best
Third time's the charm if you’re arguing
at best i was not convinced
this would ever work
out for you or me
And underneath the bluest sky
It’s undeserved just like a prize
A ray of fevers painted red
it’s not what i’m thinking of
but you know that I never would
speak ill of the dead

SPOILER ALERT
The Book was Better
you’d love to say
without missing a step
I wanna touch all the animals
that haven’t already left
this garden, it has a purpose
I believe you when you say
that the book was so much better
yeah the film gave the ending away
Cold Shoulder, Foolproof
the lies you say are not the truth
but let me hear you spoil it again.
this time I had an answer
the one no one will hear
you tried but you weren’t talking
put it off for another year
this garden, it has a purpose
I believe you when you say
that the book was so much better
yeah, the film gave the ending away
I won’t give up on you
although you think I will
I won’t give up on you
even though you know better still.

Do You Remember October?
Do you remember, our sweet love
Do you remember, october
Do you remember, our sweet love
Do you remember, october?
did you forget that we were growing old
shedding off dead skin while we're slithering back home
do you recall the sight for sorest eyes
watching bluebirds kissing diamonds
fruit grows on the vines
Do you remember, our sweet love
Do you remember, october
Do you remember, our sweet love
Do you remember, october?
I surrender I’m waving my white flag
tempering my temper while I shove it in a bag
Do you remember, our sweet love
Do you remember, october
Do you remember, our sweet love
Do you remember, october?
