some days i feel alright, already i am home even though a cat ate all the birds in my front lawn these days i feel alright, i feel already i am home even though i feel as black as death, hey i'll keep moving on that's my secret, not like it's a big one I live down the street from a judge's son and a double felony could help me rest if only i could pass my driving test i'll keep my flask close to my heart it'll warm it better than you can I secretly admire how easily you can shrug me off see the thing about being vulnerable is you're vulnerable, when you're vulnerable sometimes when you're hurting people you don't realize that you're hurt yeah that's my secret, not like it's obscure my thoughts at times are a bit impure and it's starting to get real cold round here i just want to see you dear the ghost of me out there swells, he is filled with rage from my parents' thoughtfulness, and my living wage he has no fear though it's dark at night and he remembers he catches himself crying, he wishes he could stay. cause it's starting to get real cold round here I just wanna see you dear I just wanna see you dear some days I feel alright, already I am home these days I feel aright, I feel already I am truly home

Jezebel 04:37
well I guess it's not what it seemed to be you caught me in state of emotional undress and I can't say that it doesn't hurt and I can't say that it won't get worse but at least I'll try and I make good decisions in the tv I watch sometimes it feels like it's all I have but you sing the sweetest song ooh, it feels like a symphony you were born into this body not your home at least that's what you say when you're alone i will try and visit you even though you say that it'll get worse but your eyes betray the faintest shred of hope that you could get out of here and for the next few years you could be happy, so come away with me come away but I don't think it's gonna be today maybe next week. till then I'll sweep the halls and clean the bathroom stalls just know that these four walls they are not all there is and I can only stay and sit with you oh Jezebel you tried to shoot that congressman, his name was Moses in your head and it all made sense to you You were born into this body not your home at least that's what you say when you're alone but I can't help but love you even so Oh Jezebel you tried to shoot that congressman, he called down fire in your head and it all made sense to you

Moon 03:52
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me hey maybe we could find a way to be together but the moon is lonely tonight i ask her to stay but she flees from my sight and is replaced by her grandiose, shining brother maybe they're lovers, I don't really know maybe it's you, maybe it's me hey maybe we could find a way to be together cause I am lonely tonight I asked you to stay but you fled from my sight to the arms of another, I think I just might go to sleep and never wake up maybe it's you, maybe it's me I wish that we could've found a way to be together and the moon is lovely tonight and you ran away so i think i just might go to sleep, and never wake up

Pines 03:53
Talking to you makes me want to die at least i would die happy, knowing that you've been there all along i was too stubborn to realize that it was me i may not have been the last straw but i was every one before i may be cold but i will thaw, i just don't know you anymore like i thought i did, like i knew i had it seemed so much easier to live with it then to face the music that we wrote that we solemnly composed yes i know that talking to me makes you want to die but at least you would die happy knowing that i'd been here along weathering the ever-bleeding heart that i have shown no-one maybe we can try to sing again but i doubt it, and that's alright it's healthy to have doubts, i tell myself but talking to you makes me want to die not in a bad way, it might be a good way i'm not sure but i know that talking to me makes you want to die
