we found two dead swans and filled their bodies with flowers - teen suicide
I don't want to go to sleep
and I don't want to dream
On a table or on the floor
In a car outside at night in the snow
Waking up in someone else's bed
Something tells me I'm losing my head
I don't want to leave
Just dye my hair and sleep
The world is ending in my dreams
Every week for the last few years
When it really ends they'll fill my body with flames
You and i will be a household name

dysphoric - cavetown
Don't let me see what I am
Cause I can't stand it, no I can't
I'm coming back round again
It's been over a year, I thought this was the end
And now I don't remember comfort
Because what I am is what I'm not
I don't belong here, it's just hopeless
Find me a way out if you love me at all
Don't let me hear what they say
Cause I can't stand it everyday
I'm thinking that I should leave now
And I don't think I'm coming back this time
Cause now I don't remember comfort
Because what I am is what I'm not
This phantom skin it's weird to live in
So find me a way out if you love me at all

choking on flowers - fox academy
Inside your house
Weve got a lot to talk about
Decorations that we found
Instead we look around
Instead we look around
I dont mind
It happens all the time
Dont decide
It happens all the time
Inside your car
We never have to drive too far
I like the freckles on your arm
Not eat with you id rather starve
Inside your house
Your mom puts on her favorite blouse
We pass the dishes all around
I hope they like me now
I hope they like me now
You remind me of better times
Dusty blinds
This happens all the time

jim bogart - the front bottoms
I would sleep better on your floor
than I would ever in my bed
And if your carpet makes my face itch
It'd still be heaven in my head
I would play more than just four chords
If it's a song that you might like
But I am not very good
So I would practice every night
And she said, "Sometimes, things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should flow through,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out, it's better me than it is you."
"Break your neck, and I will love you like a bird that cannot fly. You will be fine,"
And she says, "Break your neck, and I will love you every night. You will be mine."
I would stop doing all those things the doctor tells me not to do
But I don't think he understands, I do all of these things for you
And you've got gold plastic on your shelf that they gave to everybody else
And you can say it says your name but I don't think that that would help
And she says, "Sometimes, things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should flow through,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out, it's better me than it is you."
"Break your neck, and I will love you like a bird that cannot fly. You will be fine,"
And she says, "Break your neck, and I will love you every night. You will be mine."
And today we can do something that we've never done before
Yeah today we can do something more
And today we can do something that we've never done before
Done before

be nice to me - the front bottoms
I got boulders on my shoulders
Collarbones begin to crack
There is very little left of me
And it's never coming back
There are certain things you ask of me
And there are certain things I lack
In the beginning, we were winning
But now I'm just making up facts
What's it matter anymore?
If you believe the lies I tell
(What's it matter anymore?)
There's no meaning to the words
But we still sing these songs well
(What's it matter anymore?)
If we all left it alone
I'm sure it'd work itself out fine
(What's it matter, what's it matter, what's it matter anymore?)
We keep playing with the numbers
We are running out of time
We are running, we are running
But you're a killer
And I'm your best friend
Think it's unfair, your situation
You say I'm changing
Sorry, I didn't know I had to stay the same
Could we talk about this later?
Your voice is driving me, driving me insane
Well, I try to write you poems, but the words, they don't make sense
My hand tries to grip the pencil, but the fingers are too tense
And I try to show emotion, but my eyes won't seem to wet
And I'd love to tell you stories, but I can't remember how they went
You're a flashlight in a dark room for the loneliest blackout
You were all we had left after it all was filtered out
Turn you on in a dark room right before we both pass out
Turn you on when I need you, but the batteries ran out
They ran out and you're a werewolf and I'm a full moon
And all your very worst enemies will be gone soon
I think you're changing
Don't worry, you don't gotta stay the same
Could we talk about this later?
Your voice is driving me, driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Oh, it's driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane, oh
Driving me insane

[i never finished this sorry]
strangers - car seat headrest
If I can fit my dreams
We say the same things over and over
Into an ABAB rhyme scheme
You say the same things over and over
Love makes it easier to be human
Love is the payoff for the life that we're losing
God is a scientist he's just found out about us
He's published a study but he don't know much about us
When I die I won't become a ghost
Because I'll have nowhere to haunt
Fuck this town and fuck my dirty hands
When you're strange, if they like you then they gotta be stranger
But they're just strangers
Society wants me to fuck, well fuck them
Car seat is a genetic stop sign
I sleep lying next to a mirror
Car seat is a menace to the public
Love makes it easier to be around humans
Love on the TV, who'd they think they were fooling?
God is a director, he's just found out about us
He's talked to our agent, but he don't know much about us
When I die I won't become a ghost
Because I'll have nowhere to haunt
Fuck this town and fuck my dirty hands
When you're strange, then the critics gotta be stranger
But they're just strangers
They're just strangers
Car seat's nervous and the lights are bright
When I was a kid I fell in love with Michael Stipe
I took lyrics out of context and thought
"He must be speaking to me"
I won't last too much longer
I'm already starting to run out of places
For faces in my head
They're all starting to look the same
I won't last too much longer
I'm already starting to run out of places
For faces in my head
They're all starting to look the same

self control - frank ocean
i'll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight
noses on a rail, little virgin wears the white
you cut your hair but you used to live a blonded life
wish i was there, wish we'd grown up on the same advice
and our time was right
keep a place for me, for me
i'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
it's nothing, it's nothing
keep a place for me, for me
now and then you miss it, sounds make you cry
some nights you dance with tears in your eyes
i came to visit, 'cause you see me like a ufo
that's like never, 'cause i made you use your self-control
and you made me lose my self-control, my self-control
keep a place for me, for me
i'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
keep a place for me
it's nothing, it's nothing
it's nothing, it's nothing
i i i know you gotta leave leave leave
take down some summertime
give up just tonight night night
i i i know you got someone comin'
you're spittin' game, know you got it

happy news for sadness - car seat headrest
you can never tell the truth
but you can tell something that sounds like it
my eyebrows are growing back in nicely
but i'm still ugly on the inside
an ad for a kid's movie
on the back of the rice krispies
it came out in 2003
sure hope it's talking about the dvd
you can never tell the truth
but you can tell something that sounds like it
i liked you better when you hated yourself
every time i think about love
i think about me thinking about you
changing your anatomy
hipbone is connected to my heart
every time i think about love
i think about you thinking about me
nobody wants to know
(my eyebrows are growing back in nicely)
what you got to say at all
(my eyebrows are growing back in nicely)
nobody cares about
(but i'm still ugly on the inside)
your life and the people in it
(but i'm still ugly on the inside)
so you can stop telling me it gets better
(an ad for a kid's movie)
and pack all your stuff in these boxes
(on the back of the rice krispies)
and send them to the salvation army
(it came out in 2003)
cause they're the only one-
(sure hope it's talking about the dvd)
you can never tell the truth
but you can tell something that sounds like it

holland, 1945 - neutral milk hotel
the only girl i've ever loved
was born with roses in her eyes
but then they buried her alive
one evening 1945
with just her sister at her side
and only weeks before the guns
all came and rained on everyone
now she's a little boy in spain
playing pianos filled with flames
on empty rings around the sun
all sing to say my dream has come
but now we must pack up every piece
of the life we used to love
just to keep ourselves
at least enough to carry on
and now we ride the circus wheel
with your dark brother wrapped in white
says it was good to be alive
but now he rides a comet's flame
and won't be coming back again
the earth looks better from a star
that's right above from where you are
he didn't mean to make you cry
with sparks that ring and bullets fly
on empty rings around your heart
the world just screams and falls apart
but now we must pack up every piece
of the life we used to love
just to keep ourselves
at least enough to carry on
and here's where your mother sleeps
and here is the room where your brothers were born
indentions in the sheets
where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
and it's so sad to see the world agree
that they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
all when i'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

salvia plath - teen suicide
You said you hate yourself
So let me feed you strawberries off a plate i bought
From a widow who was selling her husbands things
And we'll see if you still hate yourself
If you still hate yourself
I'll eat you out for an hour in your room cause i love giving head
If you still hate yourself
We'll cut ourselves and swallow chunks of broken glass
I don't care about finishing college
I'll buy the biggest tv that my credit card allows me
We'll watch the food network for the rest of our lives

oh comely - neutral milk hotel
Oh comely
I will be with you when you lose your breath
Chasing the only
Meaningful memory you thought you had left
With some pretty bright and bubbly
Terrible scene that was doing her thing on your chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory you're
Drunk on your awe to me
It doesn't mean anything at all
Oh comely
All of your friends are all letting you blow
Bristling and ugly
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
Of some pretty bright and bubbly
Friend you could need to say comforting things in your ear
But oh comely
There isn't such one friend that you could find
Here standing next to me only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own
Say what you want to say hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me
Your father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings and bend all your notes for me
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The movements were beautiful all in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
Smelling of semen all under the garden was all you were needing
When you still believed in me
Say what you want to say and hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me
I know they buried her body with others
Her sister and mother and five hundred families
And will she remember me fifty years later
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some strangers stomach
Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine

sorry 4 the weird audio clippings
change - alex g
How are you today?
I saw your friend's band play
A little show last night
It's not my thing, they were alright
You're in my dream last week
I'd like to hear what you think
We passed a house, driving fast
The sun was shining on the grass
You made me stop and leave the car
You pulled my sleeve but not too hard
Remember when you took too much?
I didn't mind being your crutch
We loved you then
It's not the same
I don't like how things change

caroline, please kill me - coma cinema
Caroline I miss you more than I ever wanted
I don't know you but I know you are beautiful
Caroline your eyes are little pools of death
You're a waste of my time but I couldn't care less
Caroline please kill me
Send my spirit to your mind
I will hang out in your feelings
Until the end of time
She's so over it
Caroline I love you more than I ever wanted
I don't want you I don't want you to go away
Caroline your eyes are dead like outer space
And I know that I am boring I can read it in your face
Caroline please kill me
Send my spirit to your mind
I will hang out in your feelings
Until the end of time
She's so over it

Over the fire in the yard

And free me from my haunted house
Sing your simple shyness pretty heart
Sing your simple shyness pretty heart
Lover now torn apart on weekends you spend
In your bed alone
Oh my god misery is tangible it
Makes your hunger new
Sing your simple shyness pretty heart
Sing your simple shyness pretty heart
Sing your simple shyness pretty heart
Sing your simple shyness pretty heart

two headed boy pt. 2 - neutral milk hotel
Daddy, please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams for a lover to bring
A child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be long ago, wrapped in sheets warm and wet
Blister please with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine, how he'd love to find
Your tongue in his teeth in a struggle to find
Secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight, sounding only at night as you sleep
And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
Rings of flowers 'round your eyes and I'll love you
For the rest of your life when you're ready
Brother, see we are one in the same
And you left with your head filled with flames and you watched as your brains
Fell out through your teeth, push the pieces in place, make your smile sweet to see
Don't you take this away, I'm still wanting my face on your cheek
And when we break, we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
When we break, we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life
Two-headed boy, she is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave

winter's house - giles corey
oh my love my ancient son
angry at everyone
mouth full of thorns pulled from nature's back
yeah we'll never forget that
born on an ancient day
named with an ancient name
they don't know, they don't care
they don't notice that you're there
oh my love my ancient son
pacing your attic floor
god's in his church with his guilty spires
yeah he's no friend of ours
kings of a rising tide
nursing our wounded sides
we don't know, we don't care
we don't notice that you're there

no surprises - radiohead
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache
With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises

rings - pinegrove
I draw a line in my life
Singing this is the new way I behave now
And actually live by the shape of that sound
Circle in the back of my throat
Spinning in my head and on my pillow
Telling you things you don't need to know
Letting you know I trust you so much
Then I'm looking at you through the lights
A circle blinking in the tungsten
Wondering how I seem to you
Forgetting the words I'm singing for you
Am I forgetting how it felt?
You were sleeping with your rings on (rings on)
Cardinal wings in the early morning
Waking up to a metaphor forming
I draw a line in my skin
I'm pinning down inchoate meaning
Mark me right below the ampersand
Perforate line dry summer on my own land
Then it circulates around town
Do I double down because I'm stubborn?
The needle on the phonographic sound
You're digging it up as soon as it's drawn down
Am I forgetting how it felt?
If you sing along do I remember?
Mark this feeling in the simplest shape
Let me finally let it fall away

When you're no longer around
And every single weather day
She will go outside to smoke
Where she first knew
She would always be
This much wrong
And embarrassing
I know it’s selfish but whatever
Anyway, I am ok with that you’ll never stay
I’m still here
I’m almost floored
Poorly drawn
I hope you’re bored
Sinking feeling
Weather day
I’ll be here I hope you’ll stay

calico - glass beach
Some stray cat came through the backyard
Must have climbed up some fences
You'll pick him up off the ground
And you'll hold him in your arms
And you'll kiss him on the head
And you'll tell him he's a lucky boy
Pick him up off the ground
And you'll hold him in your arms
And you'll kiss him on the head
And you'll tell him he's a lucky little
(Calico, don't go)
You're not gonna leave him alone
You're not gonna leave him alone
You're not gonna leave him alone
You're not gonna leave him alone

no one's gonna love you - band of horses
It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one
And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down
Hard
And anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way
And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone
They should have warned you
IF things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down
Hard

title and registration - death cab for cutie
crappy lil cover reminiscent of my crappy lil cover days
The glove compartment is inaccurately named
And everybody knows it
So I'm proposing a swift orderly change
'Cause behind its door, there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
And all I find are souvenirs from better times
Before the gleam of your taillights fading east
To find yourself a better life
I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When I stumbled upon pictures I tried to forget
And that's how this idea was drilled into my head
'Cause it's too important to stay the way it's been
But there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night
And there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night, up all night
When I'm lying awake at night

so many good quotes from this album, especially from On Paradise. i love this album for its lucidity and its succinct expression and lyricism. i cannot express just how much i feel the slow, almost invariable atmosphere of On Paradise on such a visceral, emotional level. the gentle instrumentation combined with the solemn and sober lyrics makes it one of my favourite from Keep it Together. HMs: the other three songs, all great.
