I'm not so hard
Wrap your head around me
A bleeding heart
in jubilee

Heart-shaped Bullshit
03:05

Saint Valentine,
You've been no friend to me
I'd turn you upside down
and spank you on my knee
on my knee
You cherubs hold your fire
Aim those arrows a little higher
Teddy bears with button noses made in China
Paper cards with crooked poems have no charms
That corn syrup candy lollipop is bound to make your sweet tooth rot
and roses are much better off when left alone to bloom on vine
We need less mass-production
heart-shaped bullshit
We need fewer reasons
to feel secluded
We need way more love
and disillusion
with hallmark holidays
Valentines Day
I don't need you
I don't need you
Valentines Day
We don't need you
We don't need you
Go away
Just go away
Go away
Saint Valentine,
you've been no friend to me
I'd turn you upside down
and spank you on my knee

Life

Life, life, life
it comes in seasons
Oh life, life, life
it comes in seasons
Yeah
I'd like to ride all the waves
and feel all the feelings
Life, life, life, it comes in seasons

Death
00:35
|

|
Death, death, death
before dishonor
Death, death, death
before dishonor
I'd rather
die by the sword
I'd rather
suffer
Oh give me death,
death,
death
before dishonor

Little Seed
02:42
|

|
Little seed, little seed,
wait for the wind
to carry you on a whim
You started slow
You came up quick
A dandelion
In one swift pick you were held
You were held
by the one that set you free
The fair young heart that passed your way
By evening you were wilting
Little weed, little weed,
come up again
The fields they have no end
You got it right
You got it wrong
You grew up where you didn't belong...
You got it wrong
You grew up where you didn't belong
No rain through soil bleeds
In shade
No sun to to grace your leaves
Returned to earth by moon beam
Little flower, little flower
petals so prim
Full bloom
with a golden stem
You got it right
You got it right
Oh you just plain got right
By earth and all her fees
So truly and so completely
How lucky to be roots deep

From the outside looking in
it's a big colossal win
A damn near crying-shame
you're troubled seeing it that way
Tuck around that rocky road
or at least trade in those tires
You were made to ride this highway
and by highway I mean low-way
... So make it worth all of the while
Make a song or two or three
It'll mean something to someone
It'll mean something to me
The first will will be the last
and you'll be the one in line
leading all the others
with no man left behind
Trials, tribulations,
send salutations

It Ain't Got That Swing
01:15
|
|||
|
I had to disappear
You didn't want me there
So when you think of me
remember I'm your misery
You spread my name like sand
across your bloody scab
You make me sound so mean
Let no one see the way I bleed
It don't mean a thing
if you ain't got that swing
If you don't love life long,
You block me off your phone,
If you don't keep in touch,
I guess, Darlin', we ain't worth that much

Se Libre
01:45
|

No soy algo que se arrastra.
No soy algo que se aplasta como una cucaracha.
Ni en el amor,
ni en el espíritu.
Estoy triste cuando te busco.
Tengo que irme.
Eljo perdonarte como tuve que perdonarme.
Como una mariposa, se libre.

Smile Again
01:41
|

There you are
Been looking for you lately
Wondering how you've been all this time, time, time
Days go by and months go on without you
and my guess is that you're happy and you smile, smile, smile
Smile for the camera
Smile for your baby
Smile like you mean it
and maybe
your mind will catch up with your teeth
catch up with your hands and your feet
Maybe you'll just settle in,
put on a few pounds, and then
you'll smile again
Smile, smile
Smile again
Smile, smile
again

Long Last Year
01:15
|
|||
|
What am I to do with this
No return address
I'll ask you what you asked of me
"What do you want?"
Is there anything you need
Would I really make it better
Could you care for me better
than you did in the long last year

Texas
Lay me down
Texas, Texas
Lift me up
Texas
In the mountains and
through the country I ride
Picture in my wallet
of Texas
Picture in my memory
You frame it
You can't hold me but
I'm not lonely
I'm fine
Make the best of it,
what's left of it,
all your life.

Everybody is
going through something that
they aren't talking about about
Holding horses
Mind racing
There's no running
from facing your thinking
This cumulous season is weighing you down
What do you see when I say that I'm sorry
'S' is the color of...
'O' is the color of...
A(r)e you able?
A(r)e you willing?
How about wh(y)?
U B I C U R YY U R YY 4 me
U B I C U R YY 4 me
Too wise
you are
too wise
for me
You be
I see
you are
too wise
for me
Too wise
for me
Everybody is
going through something that
they aren't talking about

Growing Pains
01:04

Growing love
No poison
No, no ego
you can't take
my situation
No black&white-ness
Not fantasizing
but it's still the same
Active expression here inside yet
physically there's no exchange
Working on you
Working on me
Growing love
Growing pains
