Can You Heal Me

Can you heal me
I need your help so bad
You've always been the one
I put my faith in
But I don't know if I've ever been this sad
Come on
Can you hear me
I need that magic now
To shape reality
Into a place that I can stay
Cause right now I just can't see the way how
I can hold you for a little while
And ease the pain you feel
You can pretend like it's beautiful
Which of course has some appeal
But it's an iron dagger vs. an imaginary shield
And this wound you have inside of you may never full heal
No, no
And when the agony subsides
And no longer overwhelms your every day
A tragedy is still a tragedy forever
And the wrongness of it does not go away
And is it the same with love
Forever
Infinity
Undiminished
I can't see it
I just wish it worked out different
Than how it did
And words
What good are you
I've always used you to explain
To break it down and reach a better understanding
But the only thing I hear you say to me today is just pain
I can hold you for a little while
And ease the way you feel
You can pretend like it's powerful
And the good that does is real
But it's an iron dagger vs. an imaginary sheild
And this wound you have inside of you may never fully heal
No, no

Take Me Away
03:18
|

Tell me another story, any one but mine
I don't like it here, I'm always crying all the tme
I'm staring out the window, like pictures in a book
The claustrophobic kind that you can't open, you can only look
When I'd rather be nothing than something
Change that channel to anything more comforting
More than a little embarrassing how much I need you
I watched a TV show about spirituality
And I don't know how but I hope this TV show can save me
And then I saw another show that had a more driving plot
And I was sad before I put it on but during I forgot
TV, take me away with you
TV, take me away
You don't know how much I look forward to this every day
TV, take me away with you
TV, take me away
I promise I'll just watch and never participate
The internet can read your thoughts
It knows your address and your name
It's got its claws inside your heart
And venom coursing through your veins
But TV's not about you, it is only there to entertain
It doesn't ask you questions
You can't do it wrong, it dulls the pain
TV, take me away with you
TV, take me away
You don't know how much I look forward to this every day
Take me, take me away with you
Take me, take me away
Away, take me away with you
Away, away, away

You Already Did
03:10
|

I don't want you to die die die
I'd much prefer you live
I don't want you to die die die
But you already did
You dodged that bullet once before
Could you do it again
You'd had some time, they gave you more
It's a question of when
But after that them demons
Couldn't leave you well alone
All like, If we cant meet in person
Could it be over the phone
And I don't want you to suffer
Any more of this bullshit
But there is only one way out
And you're not taking it
I don't know how to think a thought
Or how to say a prayer
But still I'm pretty sure
This bitch ain't going anywhere
Seriously
There's someone up there who is looking out for you, girl
There's someone up there who is looking out for you
And I don't know what their problem is
I don't know, I don't understand
I really don't, no
I don't want you to die die die
I'd much prefer you live
I don't want you to die die die
But you already did
Seriously

She Stopped Making Art
02:59
|

She stopped making art
She stopped making art and it breaks my heart
She stopped making art and I know she's not the only one
The world is so serious now
The night is shivering and cold
As we await the dawn
It's been too long
That day may never come
She stopped making art
She stopped making art, I know what that means
The world is gonna have less beautiful things
All of the light
All of the joy
It's all diminished now
And hunted down
Endangered and destroyed
She stopped making art
She stopped making art but I know she's smart
Some people just do the same thing their whole lives
Some people stop and think about what they are doing
And come through with something new
I wonder what, I wonder what
I can't handle it
She stopped making art
She stopped she stopped she stopped she stopped
she stopped she stopped she stopped she stop stop stop
Come on, hold up, hear me out
But what about your ceramics
I liked those a lot
You just can't argue with a mug or with a pot
No you don't have to ask yourself what is it for
I need something to put my plants in
And I wish that you'd make more
I got some other ones, yeah, come from the store
But they don't make me happy
No not like yours
She stopped making art
Yeah yeah, I know it's not easy
I know everything costs money and time
Psychic energy
Steadily falling behind
What ever you want
whatever you thought you thought
Give it all up, up
In exchange for what
But still

The Holidays
03:20
|
|||
I put some candles in the window
to counteract the cold outside
I guess that's better than nothing
but that's not saying much, not really
since my baby died
I strung up rainbow lights
to make the place look nice around here
and the effect's a bit surreal
it makes it seem like Christmas morning might
if i liked Christmas
the opposite of how i feel
Every day try to do some normal stuff
almost anything is better than just giving up
try and make it so this world without your love
in some fucked up way could somehow still be enough
I lit a sparkler New Year's at midnight
I had the hardest time getting that thing to light
it finally got going, and then it just went out
something was wrong, it couldn't even burn the whole way down
if the alternative is going straight to bed
might as well step outside and watch the fireworks explode instead
Every day try to do some normal stuff
so far I'm still committed pretty hard to not giving up
try and make it so this world without your love
in some fucked up way could somehow still be enough
It's ridiculous, I know I can't get used to this
but every day is a new day
another new day without you
another day I'm still alive
another day with obligations I should get around to
water the plants or whatever
Every every day try to do some normal stuff
almost anything is better than just giving up
try and make it so this world without your love
in some fucked up way could somehow still be enough

Forever
03:04
|

There are good days
And there are bad days
And good parts of the day
And bad parts of the day
When I could go on forever this way
And when I know that it's never OK
When I could go on forever this way
And when I know that' it's never OK
I wish you'd text me back
But I didn't text you
I wish I could just call you
But I can't figure out who
There are the times when
I take it personally
Was everything cancelled, for real just like that
Or was it for some reason just me
I am the nightmare that replays itself behind your eyes
Those times you lie in bed at night wide awake, paralyzed
I am the guide that's come to show you through this kingdom of lies
You knew the world would burn, now don't act so surprised
There are the good days
Failing that, there are the good parts
There's always something
The half empty glasses of blood
That they've been siphoning out all our hearts
And I could go on forever
Forever, forever, forever

I'm a monster in the shape of a man
I wear somebody else's skin the best I can
I look all right, but something's wrong
I might be doing worse than I let on
There's only hammers here
Hammers and nails
And all the usual destruction that entails
I fight these troubling impulses 'cause I care
It's harder than it looks, that's why I'm scared
It's the heat, the hate, it's getting hotter
It's the flies on the meat getting rottener and rottener
The war, the weight, it's getting heavier
The fever in the world is getting sweatier and sweatier
That sticky glue that fails to hold anything together
It's all murder, murder, melting in the weird uncanny weather
I am a monster
I am a monster
I am a monster
I am I am I am I
I'm a monster in the shape of a man
I play this poorly written part the best I can
I say the lines, but something's wrong
I might be doing worse than I let on

Hate Your Car
01:56
|
|||
I hate your car
I'm gonna kill your car
Gonna hurt it bad
Gonna hit it hard
Gonna make it scream
Gonna make it cry
It's a blood sacrifice
That thing is gonna die
Now go on
Dig a hole
Can you carry it in your arms
Yeah yeah
Can you feel the impossible weight
No you can't
No why not
You never knew what love was
You never knew anything was alive
You've been already dead this whole Goddamn time
Dig it down
Dig that hole
Can you feel it
The pain of the earth
Yeah
Having unleashed the power of American energy
It's the energy that's going to kill you
And I will break your car personally
Mercilessly
Mercilessly
OK
I hate your car
I'm gonna kill your car
Gonna hurt it bad
Gonna hit it hard
Gonna make it scream
Gonna make it cry
It's a blood sacrifice
That thing is gonna die
Now go on

Violence
03:09
|

Violence, violence, what are we doing here
What the hell happened to you
This obsession with everything death
Torture torture, uh-huh
What the hell, how is that what we do
It's the breakdown
The puzzle reverted to meaningless shapes
When the image has all come undone
Until I can't remember your face or your name
Or a single damn thing about anyone
Is it violence, violence, violence, just let me guess
Has there ever been anything else
Now your locked in a room for your own good
With nothing and no one alone and chained to yourself
Chained
Mercilessly
Forever
To that weakest link
Shame
Shrouded in silence
And obscene
Suffering
Is it violence, violence, violence everywhere
It's in me and I know it's in you
How can anyone hope to forget it for long enough
Just to get anything done
Let alone try to love or forgive
Another flawed human
Violence, violence, violence everywhere
It's in me and I know it's in you
How can anyone hope to forget it for long enough
Just to relax and have fun
Let alone try to love or forgive
How to love or forgive
How to love or forgive
How to love

My Favorite Song
03:54

Some denominations claim this religion is finished
God is gone and he's not coming back
Others never gave up hope like that
Others never gave up hope like that
There are people who will tell you that there's nothing more to say
It's just dead words when we pray
Others think it's still alive today
That it could really be alive today
Get the shovel
Dig up the radio
Hit it a couple times
See if it still works
Years without music
And now every song is my favorite song
Years without music
And now every song is my favorite song
And they're playing them all, it's a miracle
Years, years
And they're playing them all, it's a miracle
Years
And who cares about tomorrow; we'll deal with it then
I know we're gonna have to bury everything again
It don't end well, but we can pretend
You're beautiful and you're my best friend
So throw me in with it next time under the burning sand
Tonight we're gonna listen to
as many of these motherfuckers as we can
Years without music
And now every song is my favorite song
Years without music
And now every song is my favorite song
And they're playing them all, it's a miracle
Years, years
And they're playing them all, it's a miracle
Years
And they're playing them all, it's a miracle
Years
