Trash Flower 04:58
everything you see is for the takin' or the leavin' as you want every story has another side and you can hide it if you want and alone i know her weight i wanna see reality - she ga' me animated memories and a' the girls wait upon a blog everything you see is for the leaving it behind you, what you lack i turn my world around her she's a flower that was growing in the trash and alone i know her ache - my fingers wrap around her waist i know i can't do much to keep her safe i'm 'onna have to leave her where she lay trash flower she's a loaded lost trash flower wowowow x mmm x ooh but alone she grows 'e way and though i wanna keep her, no i'm 'onna have to leave her where she lay somehow it's perfect as it is alo' i know trash flower she's a loaded lush trash flower everything you see is for the takin or the leavin as you are every story has another side and you can hide it if you want but there is no truth nowhe'e so all that's left to do is wrap a lie in somethin' cute an' make it sing ah, somehow it's perfect like it is trash flower

i would wait to see her by the morning light with no one beside, to see my blow but everyone knows there's nothing behind her it's just a screen lit from below and i say ooh ... one last time... one one one last time la la la la la la la i would go on chasing what's not there it beats what's here, it beats what's here as sunlight turns to grass now i'm just sleepy and i say ooh ... one last time... one one one and i say ooh ... la la la la la la (haaAAAaaappy booOOoyyy ooOOOooh) oh, chase ... chase ... give chase one last time ... one one one i will go on chasing what i know's not there it beats what's here, it beats what's here now as sunlight turns to glass now i'm just sleepy (slurp) and i say ooh ... one last time, one one one ahh yeah ... la la la la la la oh, i been dark every day in every way so why not one more? one last time (why not) la la la la (bloop bloop bloop bloop)

sky, light, silver and white, and still towns in mountains of crushed up pills when the tree branches creak and moan i'll be up in my room alone all the worst songs will be playing wherever you go all of your plans just get buried alive in the snow i see my breath before my eyes while the world is erased outside winter, don't freeze me out tonight old, cold caricatures of life all of the smoke that you own cost as much as you earn all of the money we made we just watch it all burn

Blowfish 03:33
think i know what i want ah what do i need i think i know what i need ah but what do i want when i feel it comin on and in the moment when it feels right then the moment is gone leaving me outright but if i had what i want would i need what i got? i can't take a shot, i don't know what i want i think i know what i need ah but what do i want and if i get what i want, get what i want will i get what i need there's a feelin comin on and i know it ought to be right then the feelin is gone it's makin me fear life but if i had what i need would i need what i want? i can't give it up, i don't know what i want ((DEIXA, DEIXA... deixa o menino brincar)) when i feel it comin on but i know it would not be right but in the moment it's strong and it's makin me see lights so if i had what i want i would not need what i got i can't get enough, i don't know what i want, i can't see what i got, i don't know what i want

everything I know is wrong when I always thought I was right how could I ever believe how could I ever believe I used to think I knew you well but now you do things i couldn't tell you why it's something that you must find out what's the use of being alive when a 2 and a 2 makes a 5 how could i always believe how could i always believe you'd better hear out what i say some of the notes you hit are way off key not everyone's going to be as nice as me everything i know is wrong when I always thought I was right how could i ever believe how could i always believe

I'm Too Sad 05:25
up in the woods where the fog meets the earth i can finally feel an emotion back and forth through the walls of a home that's a house that you've got nothing left in you'll go on pretending you're okay i used to do that o o o o h, but i'm too sad rivers that flow with the moon on the back of a storm on the side of a mountain somehow that isn't the reason i'm down i'm just here and i couldn't ignore them you'll go on pretending you're okay i used to do that o o o o h, but i'm too sad down in the gloom of an old college room i can see that my future is haunted maybe it's all an illusion in bloom but i honestly haven't decided you'll go on pretending you're okay i used to do that ooh, but i'm too sad but i'm too sad but i'm too sad saddddd sssssaaaaaaddddddssssaaaaddddddddaaaadadadadada
