do u remember what it feels like to be calm?
they got u wrapped around your finger
if u could keep it up inside, mouth wide, eyes open
you could kick it curbside, ease ur mind
but hey
like the cry of a newborn cow
eyes wide, taught to fear the shadows
and hey
is this what you want?
to die with your tongue split open?
do you remember when your father cried?
do you remember when your mother died?
every night i’m searching for real life’s end
so it goes, flatlining time
but hey
like the cry of a newborn cow
eyes wide, taught to fear the shadows
and hey
is this what you want?
to die with your tongue split
tongue split with your tongue split
tongue split open?

stay infected on my way home, out again
keeping heads down through the thick light
recently it feels like the world’s picking me off again
and i’m not sure how much longer i can take
i didn’t mean to set you off
the world’s got me capturing all my flaws
i’m just a stupid boy with his tongue tied up
i’m the only one, the only one
i don’t wanna set the world in flames
is that the only choice i have?
regardless of the shit i say
i feel like something’s holding me back
my cat sees people i don’t know
my cat sees people i don’t know
he says “you’d better get out of here fucker
or you’ll end just like your brother”

follow me down if you love me at all
i can show you all the places where you did me wrong
and if you want me to
i can do it for you
whatever you want
show me ur scars, i can make you feel tall
i can show you all the places where we tend to fall
if you want me to
i'll shut up for you
if that’s what you want
why can’t you just be quiet now?
everything is quiet now
why can’t you just be quiet now?
everything is quiet now
if you leave
take my skin
so it won’t pulse at the thought no more
when you go
take my home
so i won’t have a place for searching for
why can’t you just be quiet now?
everything is quiet now

watching from the outside
pretending nothing hurts
when doctor says i’m better
i know i’m getting worse
i’ll fly in like blue heron
wings high and touch the storm
and when my bones are rested
i’ll wake up feeling worn
i never loved my body
i always want to break
i’m tired of my ligaments getting in the way
i’m selfless like an animal who keeps his prey in mind
i’m courteous to god ‘cuz she’s always on my side
my temperature’s collapsing
i’m counting all my limbs
you’ll say that i’m approachable
i’ll say that i’m a sin
i’ll fly in like blue heron
i’ll blow myself away
and never see the brighter half
to live another day
i never loved my body
i always want to break
i’m tired of my ligaments getting in the way
i’m selfless like an animal who keeps his prey in mind
i’m courteous to god ‘cuz she’s always on my side
i never loved my body
i always want to break
i’m tired of my ligaments getting in the way
i’m selfless like an animal who keeps his prey in mind
i’m courteous to god ‘cuz she’s always on my side
i never loved my

juno woke me up again
not the finest dog around
juno wag her tail again
juno never make a sound
when i was 10 i played gameboy
wanted to save the princess down
at all my sister’s hockey games
but daddy said it’s 2015 now
when i play a different game
i won’t ever feel the same
i want to keep my place

i
never wrong
crooked glasses
paint the wall
stick your finger down the drain
muddy owl
picture frame
and i’m scared i’m gonna miss you for longer than i’ve known you
i’m scared i’m gonna miss you at all
spiders dig into their holes
and i’m no fan of spider holes
until they start to swallow me whole
time goes backwards every day
you’re gonna die so be afraid
cuz no one’s gonna bring you back this time
and i’m scared i’m gonna miss you for longer than i’ve known you
i’m scared i’m gonna miss you at all

brother

why do i cry over things that aren’t mine
and for people i don’t know?
if the problem inside’s not something divine
is it worth the getting old?
but i know i can’t hide from the trouble i find
and it keeps me wanting more
for the things that i see stuck in 2003
zak and wheezie on the floor
brother
i’m here
and i’m doing what you can’t
and when you look in on me from the sea
see little brother’s now a big brave man
i didn’t mean to grow up without you
i guess the years slipped away from me
i promise that i’ll see you real soon
my big brother who’s younger than me
