empty cup 03:11
it was past 7 o'clock and i was done trying 3rd cup of coffee and i was done lying my head was a mess 'cause you left that morning i start to undress but i wish it was pouring the sun goes down i start to fade i feel the weight of everything but would you rather that i just shut up? i could use my mouth like an empty cup and when you're thirsty you can just drink up i was searching on the web looking for answers how i should feel and how to recover but that wouldn't stop the voices reminding that i have no value unless i'm providing utility it stifles me can't even make myself happy but would you rather that i just shut up? i could use my mouth like an empty cup and when you're thirsty you can just drink up

whine 02:46
how many lives do we sacrifice? the world takes its time like a glass of wine and how do i take care of myself? i wouldn't be so cruel to anyone else i know you say you value life but i wish you could see the hate in your eyes i know you say the price is right but i'm afraid that tomorrow the sun will not rise though my heart is breaking there are no substitutions for aching while the walls are crying all i can do is keep whining how many strikes before it starts to look like the third reich? i'm afraid that to save my own mind i will have to ignore ways the world is unkind i know you say you value life but i wish you could see the hate in your eyes i know you say the price is right but i'm afraid that tomorrow the sun will not rise though my heart is breaking there are no substitutions for aching while the walls are crying all i can do is keep whining the world takes its time like a glass of wine

wise blood 02:53
sweetheart you say you've had it rough that wise blood never was enough you hold your head up like a liar always afraid to start a fire society why can't you see when you look into my eyes please take me home i'm so alone why didn't you tell me you were mean? unwilling to admit that you were wrong always just stringing right along fragility is your greatest alibi you told me that you would never hurt a fly society why can't you see when you look into my eyes please take me home i'm so alone why didn't you tell me you were mean? you take all that you're given and turn into a villain sweetheart you say you've had it rough that wise blood never was enough

gold foil 01:53
you were always wearing smelly socks and i was always smelling them and i was reading magazine on the couch you were always tugging on my hand i thought it would turn into sand i didn't understand reflections of gold foil in your eyes i was always sneaking in past 2 and making promises untrue i ran away from everyone but you reflections of gold foil in your eyes
5.
beach boy 02:53
you are a beach boy in the summertime i am a young girl but i control my mind i go out walking in the morning i am so lucky it is so boring i lie awake and the sun boils my brain sea salty stings but i'm not afraid the way the sun burns it takes all of me the way the world turns there's no time for free you are like cotton after a rain shower never quite drying even in sunshine i stub my toe and now it is bleeding but i will not cry i love vermillion i lie awake and the sun boils my brain sea salty stings but i'm not afraid the way the sun burns it takes all of me the way the world turns there's no time for free

mckenna 02:55
oh mckenna you are so bitter but such a good kisser oh mckenna loving you was toxic for my liver oh mckenna you are so sour you smell like rotten flowers seven years old talk on the telephone you tell me to call say that nobody's home until your twin bother pushed me down the hill and your mother said that he was still her favorite but now i have no more stomach oh mckenna you are so fragile you break just like a bottle oh mckenna you are so crazy you cry just like a baby oh mckenna i am unwilling to do my own killing seven years old talk on the telephone you tell me to call say that nobody's home until your twin bother pushed me down the hill and your mother said that he was still her favorite but now i have no more stomach

no cleats 01:51
slightly beered out in the park heart quaking under the weight of concrete it is beating, breaking now for me blisters are growing on my feet boys running by not wearing cleats i wish i was stuck to the ceiling dripping slowly down on your face always dripping on your face like a bad memory poisoning your dreams so you cannot sleep
9.
big toe 01:42
oh i would try to exercise if i had a reason to go outside but i've got everything i need right here so please go away don't call me dear i'm afraid to let you know these shoes are hurting my big toe i'm afraid to let you know it's the reason i can't go oh i would try to change my life if only i didn't have to try but it's so much easier to dream at night where i can make a world inside my mind i'm afraid to let you know these shoes are hurting my big toe i'm afraid to let you know it's the reason i can't go
10.
pillow 02:44
i wouldn't say that my love is blind i wouldn't say that i am unkind 'cause you are like an apple in a tree the wind will blow but you won't fall to me i wouldn't say that my heart is gold i wouldn't say that my heart is cold 'cause when it burns the fire swallows me if i am silent it's 'cause i can't breathe like a pillow i will hold you tell you secrets while you're sleeping i wouldn't say that you should give up just that the world's not a golden cup but if you're thirsty you can believe that there's a fountain inside of me like a pillow i will hold you tell you secrets while you're sleeping like your shadow i will follow never knowing where you're going

mama 02:45
i am nothing like my mother she is stronger she is wiser she told me how to heal my broken heart she just said don't think about it she would hold me in her long arms tell me when it hurts don't be alarmed mama tell me how i should be you are like the earth and i'm persephone mama tell me how life should be you are like the sunrise and i'm a tired lady i stood standing in the cold rain wishing that i'd brought an umbrella she warned me that i would feel this way now i'm wishing that her voice would go away i started wondering if i'd catch a cold wondering when my heart became so old mama tell me how i should be you are like the earth and i'm persephone mama tell me how life should be you are like the sunrise and i'm a tired lady

goliath 02:53
i wish i was like sawdust to giants your hands could hold me just like goliath and when i fade into the oblivion it would just be easier on your heart i wouldn't mind if i were anyone else i wouldn't mind it if you put me on a shelf 'cause your toes are the size of my head your heart so loud it could wake up the dead oh my goliath you are so tall you'd better not fall oh my goliath i am so small can't hear me at all i could describe the scenery from down here but i bet to you everything's more clear if you were 124 feet you would not need any excuse to ignore me i wouldn't mind if i were anyone else i wouldn't mind it if you put me on a shelf 'cause your toes are the size of my head your heart so loud it could wake up the dead oh my goliath you are so tall you'd better not fall oh my goliath i am so small can't hear me at all 'cause your toes are the size of my head your heart so loud it could wake up the dead
