- Brickman
They said, his mama had cement for milk
And that his papa build him brick by brick
Now the world breaks like waves on his skin
And now the words, like broken birds, are tracked within
They said his mama, she had cement for milk
- Growing Tall
I've grown up the last three months more than you can believe
And I won't let your tired thoughts bring me back home from sea
I won't let you take this monkey off his tree
And I won't let you roll your coaster - over me.
Cause I'm growing,
I'm growing tall this fall.
- Her Lies
She said baby, get down on your knees
i said babe, if you insist
She said why do you keep seeing things
you know that adon't exist
I said baby, I love you, now what can I do
I'll probably love you till the day I die
She said well pretty honey, if that's true
- Maybe You Are
They met when he was in a hospital
he whispered "I ain't got no heart" into the room
She said "I'll make you smile again" and made an airplane
out of some pretty words put in a spoon
he said "I'll never see again...
My eyes are sorta twisted inwards, deep into my throat"
- My Favorite Clown
The circus is back in town
here comes my favorite clown again
I love it when he strips his smile
Puts it in a tidy pile of shame
And then my ol' favorite clown
paints in his faithful frown and plays
that old familiar game
of which I have no name but "death"
- Sweat and Tears
Glue me back, I'm fallen and broken on the floor
My small ceramic pieces are bleeding like the shore
My head says "no" and my body says "go"
My heart says "I don't know, just flow"
And I am left there, standing, dressed in my best smile
And you don't say a word, instead we wait a while.
You know how it goes from here,
- Weak
Speak, baby speak
Tell me I'm weak
Tell me these promises are not mine to keep
Tell me I'm ugly
But tell me you love me
Tell me you cannot go through this world without me
Oh I'm, I'm just a tree
