My Best Friend, the TV 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Wake and fill coffee cup then go back to bed, give up The day’s already corrupt Ash straight onto the floor You can smoke, but don’t answer the door You can stay if you let me sleep more I don’t know what, I don’t know what, I don’t know what to do I don’t know what to do with you I’m closer with the screen than any human being Beloved by my best friend, the TV You’re free to feel your feelings Morning, afternoon, and evening Whether or not it’s appealing - I don’t know what, I don’t know what, I don’t know what to do So, we make this couch a home Go watch all our favorite shows It’s the only way to cope I don’t know what, I don’t know what, I don’t know what to do I don’t know what to do with you I’m closer with the screen than any human being Beloved by my best friend, the TV Turn it off, once a day I won’t watch, I’m ok Once a day, I turn it off I’m ok, I won’t watch Wake and fill coffee cup then, Go back to bed give up I’ve already given up I don’t know what I don’t know what I don’t know what to do So, I’ll sleep on the floor If you smoke, try to ash out the door If you stay, will you let me sleep more? I don’t know what I don’t know what I don’t know what to do I don’t know what to do with you My best friend, the TV is dang’rously comforting Easy on and easy off, it beats going outside of the screen The world’s not so comforting Wake but then go back to bed with my best friend

Clutter 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Clutter on every surface Procrastinate so hard it hurts Perseverate so hard it starts leaving marks on the floor, next to the door There is clutter on every surface But my mom taught me clutter on purpose All order comes out of a mess, so when down and depressed: Stop distressing Pause and rest Get certain for my own peace of mind Clutter on every surface Procrastinate so hard it hurts Perseverate so hard it starts leaving marks on the floor Next to the door There are dishes all over the kitchen But I’m much more consumed with the mess of my room I will clean it up later, I’ll clean it up soon, Or I’ll clean it up never & make it my tomb Get certain for my own peace of mind Unburden, take my time Chaos is my color, but I can’t stand entropy Chaos is my color, but I can’t stand entropy Get certain for my own peace of mind Unburden, take my time Clutter on every surface Procrastinate so hard it hurts Perseverate harder, oh, always the martyr

Marionette 03:21
lyrics

I know I’m young and too naïve to be a tease no fear, no fun. no damage yet: no guarantees not one to ask you “please?” The stage is set. I get to choose the way you stand Lest you forget: I pull the strings sewn to your hand Once man, now marionette Oh, I have you dangling on a string my little marionette Oh, you won’t ever mean a thing but I’m the one you won’t forget my little marionette hilarious once, now deleterious never trust a trusted experience hilarious once, now deleterious never trust a trusted experience hilarious once, now deleterious never trust a trusted experience hilarious once, now deleterious never trust a trusted experience I know I’m young I’ve got my occupation made In fear, in fun Contorting puppets on a stage Once man, now marionette Oh, I have you dangling on a string my little marionette Oh, you won’t ever mean a thing but I’m the one you won’t forget Oh, I have you dangling on a string my little marionette Oh, you won’t ever mean a thing but I’m the one you won’t forget my little marionette – you’ll never forget my little marionette my little marionette

Fear the Future 03:39
lyrics
buy track
On just an hour of sleep and running out of ways to secret-keep Without feeling so speechless, terrified of showing weakness I fear the future but fear the past more Most of all fear getting what I ask for Patience is a value, patience is a virtue I fear the future, fear the past more, Fear getting what I asked for Burn bridges to set boundaries & cut ties with those un-grounding Cut from the same cloth, I cut you off before you can cut me off I fear the future but fear the past more Most of all fear getting what I ask for Patience is a value, patience is a virtue I fear the future, fear the past more, Fear getting what I asked for And when I wake, damage undone, will I finally feel alive? You stitch me up, damage undone, scalpel and thread to save my life I fear I might survive you Cut it off before it cuts you, cut it off before it flowers, Cut it off before you have to hold the knife to hold the power Fear the future and fear the present Also fear anything vaguely unpleasant I fear the product and fear the process Most of all, fear seeing my life in losses I fear the future and fear the past Fear most the knowing that nothing will last What if I survive for something worse to happen to me? Fear the future, fear the past more Fear getting what I ask for Fear getting what I ask for Fear getting what I ask

Dearly 04:44
lyrics
buy track
Even my dog won’t stay Much to my dismay Everybody leaves, everybody grieves in their own way Dearly departed, You left me permanently Broken hearted Pardon me, more honestly, Permanently hardened I hear being with you, my dear, it gets lonely Even my dog won’t stay I’ll never keep a friend Everybody knows, everybody goes to their own end Dearly beloved, You left me practic’lly Nothin’ but skin to toughen Wondrin’ if I’m enough Then, turn on oven Insert head I fear being with you, my dear, it gets lonely I hear you, there’s nothing to fear, but if only You’d chosen me instead If only you’d chosen me instead Dearly platonic You are too damn tied to logic Not that I need you histrionic Not that I need you, but I wanted So to be with you, my dear, it gets lonely I hear you, there’s nothing to fear, but if only I hear being with you, my dear, it gets lonely I fear there is nothing to fear, but if only You’d chosen me instead If only you’d chosen me instead If only you’d chosen me, if only you’d chosen me If only you’d chosen me instead Even my dog won’t stay Much to my dismay Everybody leaves Everybody grieves in their own way
