Track Lyrics

Letter Thing Lyrics

[Chorus]
Dear sweetie
Here I come with another, "Hey what's happening?"
Listen to me, listen to me
Tell me you doubt I'm ordinary
Give me sunshine, make me happy
Give me sunshine
[Verse 1]
I'm holding in my fingers the last string
I'll set you free
There will be no more questions of strength
I cut my throat playing indian
[Chorus]
Dear sweetie
Here I come with another, "Hey what's happening?"
Listen to me, listen to me
Tell me you doubt I'm ordinary
Give me sunshine, make me happy
Give me sunshine
[Verse 2]
I'm holding in my fingers the last string
I'll set you free
I cut my throat playing indian
I was trying to get to you
Well now that's a fucking, fucking, fucking friend
[Bridge]
You say you feel affection
So come now and save us
You say you feel affection
So come now and save us
[Chorus]
Dear sweetie
Here I come with another, "Hey what's happening?"
Listen to me, listen to me
You tell me you doubt I'm ordinary
Give me sunshine, make me happy
Give me sunshine

The Notches That Create Your Headboard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So tell me again how it feels
To give yourself to the scum
In the beautiful machine where we made love
Green and brown influence had a hold of you
Was there pleasure in your mind?
Was there pleasure in your mind?
Excitement of this getting out makes you scream
Why couldn't that be the day you choked on it?
[Chorus]
No one around to save you
No one to crush your stomach from behind
[Verse 2]
Was it everything?
Do you regret your night?
I recall you saying you don't regret a thing
Well go on your way thinking of no one else but yourself
Maybe one of these nights
A confession-semi will smash your tires from behind
[Bridge]
Just don't ask questions
Just fly around with your head cut off
Never regretting a..
[Chorus]
No one around (to save you)
No one to crush your stomach from behind
No one around
No one to crush your stomach from behind

Pleading Post Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What if the best position to be in
Was shoved in the smallest crack in a wall
Where claustrophobia kicks in?
You would no longer breathe
I can hear oxygen sing
You would no longer breathe
I can hear oxygen sing
Is it wrong to use despair for our own, own personal gain
To fuel the fires in the guts?
(To fuel the fires in the
To fuel the fires in the guts)
So happiness wasn't for you
It didn't come with the blood
Didn't come with the blood
[Chorus]
Keep the slavery of despair
Get where you need to go
[Verse 2]
What if the best position to be in
Was shoved in the smallest crack in a wall
Where claustrophobia kicks in?
Use them to get where you need to go
Where you need to go
Heard you say if there's a flame you'll burn every tree
You'll burn every tree that you see
Even the one you carved the lame and the females name into
The name into
[Chorus]
Keep the slavery of despair
Get where you need to go
[Interlude]
Frown all you give
You give them the best
Crooked smile is all you give
You give them the best
You give them the best
You give them the best

Slow Good Morning Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There are bodies strewn all over my bedroom floor
I don't know how they got there
But I'm sure it's the fuckers in their ships
Taunting everyone who walks by
As they sail through my front lawn
Through my bedroom window
Not a window at all
But a hole that peasant left
With his cannonball fun
[Chorus]
They look so pretty
Pretty weak to have let it go on this long
[Verse 2]
There are still bodies thrown on my bedroom floor
I don't know how they got there
But I have a plan now
So they say we aren't really here
So don't just try to punish us
You are the one who has lost his mind
We didn't bring the bodies
We didn't throw them on your floor
We didn't bring the bodies
We didn't throw them on your floor
You are the one who has lost his mind
[Chorus]
They look so pretty
Pretty weak to have let it go on this long
[Bridge]
So they say we aren't really here
So don't just try to punish us
You are the one who has lost his mind
We didn't bring the bodies, we didn't throw them on your floor
You are the one who has lost his mind
[Outro]
They look so pretty
Pretty weak to have let it go on this long
