the wet 04:28
I drove into a painting where crows consumed the wires suddenly I'm sinking swimming through the mire all the clouds have fallen a thick mist hugs your form clinging to your back it travels up your spine the wet infects your mind the wet infects can't tell if I'm changing or if I've stayed the same when everybody calls me a name I can't reclaim but no one stays the same no one stays nothing clears my mind makes me feel fine like you nothing clears my head puts me to bed like you in a water world I would sail a ship toward you nothing clears my mind makes me feel fine like you

take care 04:03
for a little while I walked on clouds but I could not maintain my weight and I promptly fell down a walking talking bird's nest pulled my brains off the ground her shoes off her eyes out she screamed as the sidewalk smiled gotta take better care of yourself she said to the boy in the bed the window's open smoke is blowing outside fireworks exploding for a little while we walked round town a tall maze of mall escalators brought us both down my lungs felt heavy and full of sound the weights at the corners of her mouth hung tightly bound gotta take better care of yourself she said to the boy in the bed the window's open smoke is blowing outside fireworks exploding the old people tried to eat my head said the boy in the bed but October is over and I'm finally someone who can see this through cause I love you I know it's true I'll see this through cause I love you I know it's true I'll see this through cause I love you I know it's true I'll see this through I'll see this through

wayside 03:16
another night alone again yeah she'll be back I don't know when I'll turn my grief into a ploy to get wasted the space is cold and she left a dent in the mattress when she went I'll try to sleep but my mind it won't stop racing I'll ask my brain to please shut up I'm super tired I'm so fed up of losing sleep to things that I imagine but that all falls by the wayside every time I'm by her side oh it all oh it all I wish I had more confidence to always say the things I meant oh I wish I didn't fold so very often cause often times it can be hard to open up and drop my guard and it makes me sad to think of the times I've wasted but that all falls by the wayside every time I'm by her side oh it all oh it all

you must feel sorry for headaches without heads of their own you gave them your bedding you gave them your home you manufactured all your strife I've watched it consuming your whole life and I've been waiting forever and I'm still waiting on you you've got a penchant for popping in and out of dreams you arranged a wedding between your ends and means and you could work as a tailor after cutting all those ties falling asleep to paranoid lullabies and I've been waiting forever and I'm still waiting
