If I Could Get You Alone

I hate the sound of your voice
I hate the look in your eye
But something tells me that we are feeling
Something crazy inside
What are we gonna do
When we get to the tide
When we can't hide our feelings
We start crossing the line
I wanna make you sweat
This isn't over yet
If I could get you alone
See exactly what we're in
I'll knock you off of your throne
Maybe something will begin
I hate the way that you say
Things and you think you're right
I walk the other way
Just to get you out of my sight
If I could get you alone
See exactly what we're in
I'll knock you off of your throne
Maybe something will begin
If we let ourselves go
We might never get control again
But we're never gonna know
No, we're never gonna know

Swamp
04:00

Well I went outside
And my yard was a swamp
Someone came by in the night
Turned it into a dump
Well I tried to walk
Sank down to my knees
Guess I should have known
It was no place for me
I build all the roads
I plug all the cracks
But still it'll grow
It keeps coming back
I trip on the roots
I fall in the grime
Mud in my boots
Quicksand and lime
I'm slipping below
I'm losing the ground
And I still don't know what it wants
Well I drew a bath
Stepped out of my clothes
It got everywhere
Down in my bones
Well I scrubbed and I scrubbed and I scrubbed
But I could not come clean
And when I got out
The water was green
I build all the roads
I plug all the cracks
But still it'll grow
It keeps coming back
I trip on the roots
I fall in the grime
Mud in my boots
Quicksand and lime
I'm slipping below
I'm losing the ground
And I still don't know what it wants
Well my hair is wet
And my house is gone
That's just what I get
When I live in a swamp
I build all the roads
I plug all the cracks
But still it'll grow
It keeps coming back
I trip on the roots
I fall in the grime
Mud in my boots
Quicksand and lime
I'm slipping below
I'm losing the ground
And I still don't know what it wants
Hands in my hair
Tongue in my mouth
I'm losing the air
It's dragging me south
Arms are the vines
Hands are the leaves
Open my eyes
And everything's green
This is my home
It's keeping me here
And I still don't know what it wants

Wedding Day
01:50
|
|||
Watch me come in wearing my black
I've always looked better in that
Keep your white dress, I'm giving it back
On my wedding day
My fury is old, my bruises are blue
I'm carrying something precious and new
And everything else was borrowed from you
On my wedding day
No one will laugh, no one will smile
No one will look at me as a child
No one will walk me down the aisle
To give me away
I showed you my fear, I showed you my fists
I said what I thought of marital bliss
But you can't deny that it was like this
On your wedding day
It's gonna rain and put out all the flames
Of our matrimonial joy
And I guarantee you will suffer like me
If you make me wed this boy
I poisoned the wine, there's knives in the cake
The wedding is turning into a wake
And you're gonna understand your mistake
On my wedding day
Open the door and here comes the group
I feel a stirring deep in my womb
But there's a good reason for all the gloom
On my wedding day
There was no love, I didn't want him
A roll in the grass was all that it meant
And now I'm the one rambling in
A family way
I know that you're regretful of me
But when I walk in they're all gonna see
The shame and the sin that's swelling in me
On my wedding day
It's gonna rain and put out all the flames
Of our matrimonial joy
And I guarantee you will suffer like me
If you make me wed this boy

Boring Ways
02:34

If we die in boring ways
If we die in boring ways
If we die in boring ways
Send our ashes out to play in space
This treasure map of in betweens
Has left me slipping on my dreams
Of worth
If I don't get the story before it's over
Burn my pages one by one
I can't laugh this away
I can't laugh this away
Take me places in my head
Show me secrets of the dead
And wise
What will I do at morning
When the ground is red from love and I am blue
I can't laugh this away
I can't laugh this away
If we die in boring ways
If we die in boring ways
What will I do at morning
When the ground is red from love and I am blue
I can't laugh this away
I can't laugh this away
I can't laugh this away
I can't laugh this away

Gone
03:25
|
|||
Well I've gone, gone from my home
And you won't know where to find me
Well I left all of my clothes
And my guns and my family
Well I know you wanted me
But you can't, you can't have me
'Cause I've gone, gone from my home
And you won't know where to find me
