gluttony

look at me, isn’t it great
i’ve got failure on a plate
gonna weigh my body down
gonna weigh my body down
life is clear when you’re not here
the perfect garnish of a tear
gonna weigh my body down
gonna weigh my body down
i’m a drummer beat is true
but no strings left to snare on through
gonna weigh my body down
gonna weigh my body down
sky is wet, heart is bleak
darling will you shut your beak
gonna weigh my body down
it’s not serious, it’s not real
when you’re drowning you don’t feel
gonna weigh my body down
gonna weigh my body down
you talk the sun, sometimes the moon
talk all you want baby i won’t swoon
gonna weigh my body down
gonna weigh my body down
money’s the win, only the game
don’t you dare smile girl it’s not the same
gonna weigh my body down
gonna weigh my body down

i need more
i need more
walk out to the alley and shut the door

knowing nothing

it does not exist
wet behind the ears
sulky fingers
you’ve got the nerve
you’re grumbling, dragging
and i’ll come flailing along
whatever you want

so large and naive
floating kind of me
big dreams, average feet
making you angry
to fly your achy soles
must leave the ground
gravel hurts my toes and i’d rather float
but what do you know
you’re the oceanless boat
tying me at the line
whatever you want
every time

let’s find you the tide
please, let’s find you the tide
i don’t have enough strength to pull you
left inside
gravel hurts my toes and i’d rather float
but what do you know
you’re buried in sand
praying for snow
