claudia wouldn't leave her bed last year
she said "if you only understood just how much i hate it here"
then you'd stay quiet
waste my money just don't waste my time
spike-heeled, resurrected, and steppin' out over the line
it's cool, just try it
why did you wait so long to tell me
now that you told me will you tell me again
why did you wait so long to tell me
you were the best babysitter ever but everything ends
claudia's skinny and she's losing weight
we've already been to every single thrift store in the entire state
so what's left to look at
high-top sneakers and your shirt's untucked
the thing that no one understands is that i actually do give a fuck
it just gets took back
why did you wait so long to tell me
so long to tell me how it is
why did you wait so long to tell me
she said "all i want to do is not do this"
throw out that necklace that he gave you
fashion accessories won't save you
i really like you when you're not too stoned
i like to spend the spend the day by myself but i hate sleeping alone
i know you don't believe it
so stay awake another hour or so
everything stops for you and i'll kill cops for you
for real, i mean it
why did you wait so long to tell me
now that you told me will you tell me again
why did you wait so long to tell me
you were the best babysitter ever but everything ends

Teenage Widow

you painted pictures of my x-rays off the acetates
instead of canvas you were using photographic plates
as a kid you thought that drugs were scary
now you get high in the cemetery
your parents came and got you when you joined the cult
but if we can't make bad decisions, how'll we learn to be adults
that was the worst mother's day ever
teenage widow, we can hang out whenever
you're a five-time champion at letting people go
already halfway through the winter, you're still starving for snow
you could make me millions of mixtapes
but don't do it just to make up for mistakes
got picked up smoking on the corner spent the night in jail
we all used to call you abby, now you're abigail
spent seven nights on seven couches
with backpacks like kangaroo pouches
you went to the optometrist he fixed your sight
and once again you swear that next month you'll start eating right
i know it's hard in your mid-twenties
teenage widow, sometimes you act so ugly
now it feels like there's an asteroid approaching the sun
something so crazy had to happen, you were still so young
you could make me millions of mixtapes
but don't do it just to make up for mistakes
now you're terrorizing motorists from coast to coast
you said you used to do but now you don't believe in ghosts
you stand there with your skirt and tights on
do you still sleep with the lights on
when we go back to long island nothing's there anymore
not the photo place, the slot car track, the video store
but it doesn't really matter
teenage widow, you could be so much sadder

put the scissors down
i know this garbage life ain't fair but
you're not gon fix it with a haircut
it'll turn around
so let's just fold some paper airplanes
come on mary don't you dare change
let's go down the waterslide i'll meet you on the other side
sometimes i feel like time and space are going to collide
and if you stay right here
then on day your friends stop fighting
and all your ghosts get struck by lightning
you can disappear
with the lights out i still see you
you're glowing in the dark, you're see-through
let's go down the waterslide i'll meet you on the other side
sometimes i feel like time and space are going to collide
oh, oh, oh! k-mary
you said you'd come around
when will you come around
oh, oh, oh! i'm sorry
you know that silence
is just a shitty sound
no footsteps that you're following
every day's like halloween
it takes so much to just be doing your own thing
telekinetic hyperlink
your heart pumps my blood i think
it takes so much to just be here on your own thing
i'll be here on the other side come meet me when you feel alright
sometimes i feel like time and space are going to collide
oh, oh, oh! k-mary
you said you'd come around
when will you come around
oh, oh, oh! i'm sorry
if you want silence
then i can quiet down

Architeuthis

i bought a little boat
and i paddled out to sea
weights sewn into the lining of my coat
and i will swim so deep
and my lungs are filled with air
saltwater knots in my hair
you will not get away from me
i untangled my neck tie
and i kicked off my shoes
i lost my blazer in the riptide
my best navy blue
worked the buttons on my shirt
let it float up to the surface
while i swim downwards after you
now i'm swimming in the trench
my blood is starting to freeze
and i will prolly freeze to death
down there there's no sunlight to see
water changed to black from blue
but blindly groping, i will find you
down there at the bottom, you and me
i swear to god i'm gonna catch you
i've already come so far
and in one second i will touch you
and you will hold me with your arms
and if you hold me tight
i won't struggle or fight
just pull me closer, pull me down so far
until i see bioluminescent stars shine all around me
my reflection in your eye, your tentacles surround me
pull me towards your hungry center, nothing now can stop me
seven hundred fathoms down, i'm drowning in your body

White Noise

goodbye again, quick to depend
to feed, to kill a feeling
you're not a friend
we're shaking at the knees, fight to please
if you go out dancing i told them i was homeless
help me, i'm a sure thing, it's your game that's shameless
you've got yourself nothing
it's all white noise
they talk back
help me, i'm a sure thing
won't you ask them
to keep track again
and i can help you
but i don't want to

if you were a zombie
i would let you eat my brains
and the leftovers i'd wrap in cellophane
save them for the weekend, sunday suppertime
when the trees whisper in the rain
if i was a gangster
i would never have you whacked
even if my consigliere said "attack"
we could get that old projector out of the box
you could watch those movies on my back
sails in the distance
s
scientists in search
they don't know and they cannot be warned
there's no mermaids in the bay
'cause they all swam away
on the day you were born
i can't solve the riddle
no matter how i try
the answer is written in my eye
the sphinx looks very happy but you never hear him talk
i think he wants to go for a walk
spaceships in the distance
scientists in search
they don't know and they cannot be warned
there's no martians to x-ray
'cause they all flew away
on the day you were born

Neon Ocean

i was gonna go outside and hang out with my friends
you were gonna telephone the bad news man again
i didn't know her well, but her wizard's robe was blue
i really made a mess of things, couldn't have done it without you
i swam in the neon ocean
you flipped over your sister's car
it's three o'clock where i am
it's midnight where you are
i woke up with crystal prisms growing on my face
you're just like a human being crossed with a vacant space
rocket valley, trap door tripped, blueprint redrawn
i really really hope you think about me when you're gone

Tentacles
04:43

there's a squid wrapped round your arm
as you pace 'round the hotel room
there's no batteries in the smoke alarm
i checked but i don't think i'm going to tell you
temporary tattoos of tentacles all on your neck and back
i won't ask, but they must mean something
it's january, and everyone left here right after the holidays
so now it's just you and me slumming
there's a squid wrapped round your arm
as you lay there by the ocean
if you give me the keys to the rental car
i'll go out for cigarettes and calamine lotion
two more hours, i've never seen you so tan in my life before
you could take a nap and i'll go out running
then we can shower, how many times in my life will i have to say
"girl, you should eat something"
i go up to the room
i double-lock the door
change the password on my phone
i don't trust you anymore
i don't know what to expect
i don't know what happens next
but i'm waiting...
you can have it all
just not all at once
