The Pity Parade
04:13

Cover your walls with words
that they may chase all bad thought away
fill all your hours with work
that they may finally be okay
distraction is all you ask for
distraction is all you ask for
wake up in the morning with sparks in your blood
go to bed spinning loose teeth and buzzsaws
distraction is all you ask for
wake up, one morning, early june
thunder shakes the paint from your little room
rain brings on black wings dark polaroids of little things
about the last girl
pillows on your grave white chalk on your tongue
try to rewind but there’s salt on your gums
white rabbits die easy bad habits die hard
if someone still loves you they don’t steal your car
distraction is all you ask for
your arms are tired from digging graves
the pity party becomes a pity parade
somewhere in the silk hair of the platinum blonde with her makeup smeared
a voice calls

STOP RIGHT NOW
you were you were
the rank and file
and I and I
went sailing through the night
on willow wings wove tight
son, my son, I know you feel confined
I know this body
is holding you behind
and waving flags of white
but listen to your heart as it
plays and listen to it when it says
it says I LOVE YOU
every protein chain says i love you
every ribosome says i love you
every red blood cell says i love you
every nucleus says i love you
they’re all talking to you
they’re talking to you
so don’t you dare back away
don’t you dare make it grey when it’s not
the rain’s just water
oh the rain’s just water
i said the rain’s just water
just water, baby

The Road Is Not The Road

lift up your white white arms
the road is not the road you’re on
lift up your red roofs
rise up your white white arms white dawn
i was a lover
i was the one to call
i was another
i was the one to call
|

I wanted a friend
I was aching with suspense
I was breaking into evidence
I was quaking with the czech defense
don’t make me go home
