feral sisters for the weeds
running from my dirty deeds
taught me what the planets gave
dragged me from my watery grave
fathered me like no father could
kissed my hair and drank my blood
climbed through slime and shit and mud
and stuck their swords in me
Salty sister give me strength
My best friend left me again
Thought that they loved me the most
I’m a poison, you’re the host and you don’t know

Won't you be my salty sister
Won't you be my moonlight kisser
You think you can do it better
Needling my heart like my body is a record
My body is a record
This is just a voyage
I'm taking on my own
Through soapy seas that smell like you
And other things I should ignore
All my eggs are in one basket
Lose control, drop it, and crack it
Drop it and crack it
Now I'm an omelette in my bed
Hot and greasy, blistering
Sizzling and sweltering
This is just a voyage
I'm taking on my own
Through slushy seas that bury me
And other things I should ignore
I should ignore
I should ignore
I should ignore, ignore, ignore
I should ignore

Why did I agree to this?

There is a problem
Something in the water
Something that made me feel like it would work
But I'm falling apart and I'm thinking oh why did I agree to this
I'm making small talk
Trying to fight the burnout
Trying to fight the voices in my head
But I'm tearing at my hair and I'm thinking oh why did i agree to this
Oh why did I agree to this
Why did I agree to this
You think I'm stupid
Irrational and airy
Even though I'm so much fucking bigger than you
You make me fall apart and think why did i agree to this
You think you're clever
With your lackluster love
And your rehearsed imagination that you fake
And your apologies you write with SAT words that are too big for even you
So why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
I think you're funny
I miss the way you loved me
Before we got into this mess
I wanna stay friends
But you're too hot headed
And you've wasted second chances
And for the record
You're a fucking creep
Why did i agree
Why did i agree
Why did i agree
Why did i agree
Oh why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this
Why did i agree to this

Fall Asleep

headphones head down
in a punishing town
dreaming tomorrow
but tomorrow won’t come around
I want to fall asleep for a day or two
and wake up without a bruise
i want to sell my voice for a day to do
nothing at all
Monday morning at dawn
half-laced black sneakers on
i’m packing my music
running away from home
I want to fall asleep for a day or two
and wake up without a bruise
i want to sell my voice for a day to do
nothing at all
now i’m on the train
but she’s still on my mind
I misunderstood, and she sings so good
i don’t want to say goodbye i tell her
i want to fall asleep for a day or two
and wake up without a bruise
i want to sell my voice for more time with you
what would you say to that
The melody inspires me
to dissapear entirely
I can’t be second guessing
I want to fall asleep for a day or two
and wake up without a bruise
i want to sell my voice for more time with you
for a day to do
nothing at all

Courtin' Is A Pleasure

Courting is a pleasure between my love and I,
And it's down in yonder valley I'd meet her by and by.
It's down in yonder valley she is my heart's delight,
And it's with you, lovely Molly, I would stay 'til the broad daylight.
Going to church on Sunday, my love she passed me by,
And I knew her mind was altered by the roving of her eye.
I knew her mind was altered by a lass of high degree,
Oh Molly, lovely Molly, your looks have wounded me.
I then took out a bottle and I held it in my hand,
Saying, "Here's a glass, dear Molly, for our courtship is at an end.
So raise your glass, dear Molly. Drink the bottle dry for me,
For there are ten guineas wagered that married we'll ne'er be.
Oh never court a wee girl with a dark and a roving eye.
Just kiss her and embrace her. Never tell her the reason why.
Just kiss her and embrace her, 'till she causes your heart to yield
For a faint-hearted soldier never gained a battlefield.
So farewell balleymoney, and to county antrim too.
Likewise, farewell dear Molly, I will bid you a fond adieu,
America lies far away across the ocean blue,
But I'm bound for there, dear Molly, and again I'll ne'er see you.
