marielle,
you took the words right out of my mouth
well they say you never know until you know
other girls got nothin’ on you
it’s tough to not act like a fool
so say the words you know you gotta say
ya say the words you know you better say
marielle
i’m done with hiding
done with quiet ~ sneaking ~ lying
let the world see we’re doing it right
they’ll never have to see me yell
they’ll all assume i’m meaning well
and i am, cus i love you marielle
just say the words you know i like to hear
say the words and we’ll all feel better, my dear
you took the words right out of my mouth
and it's probably good for your health
and i’d like to see your pretty smile again
well marielle
don’t ya play games with my head
won’t you dim the lights
and come to bed

Stains
03:10
|

did you burn
the sheets
did you wash away
all the pieces
did you start to forget me
are the skin cells
and faint smells
now a rarity
are you there
are you there
did i lay
beneath the ground
did my pulse
ruin your sleepin sound
and did you try to
clean me off
were my stains
soaked in the cloth
were they soaked in the cloth
are you there
are you there
well get on your way
stand up tall
i’m not afraid,
i feel nothing at all
i feel nothing at all

Sleep Sounds
03:22

sleep, sleep on this mountain top and the morning will be here
breathe, breathe in this northern air, let it fill your lungs my dear
you'll need to be silent now, the sun it has gone down
so please, please close your quiet eyes, let sleep become your
sound, sound
now, now
feel peace on this mountain top, the trees will hide your fears
and feel ease in this northern air, don't hate yourself my dear
i'll be back before the dawn, and I'll sleep between your arms
don't ever go back
down, down
now, now

Madness
05:30
|
|||
maybe theres no method to our madness
no certain script, nothing terribly obvious
so go to sleep darlin
don’t take ur t-shirt off
don’t waste one more second
maybe there’s no place for me here
you see right through me, smell my fear
and there’s voices in my head telling me
you’re a king
you’re a king
you’re a king
and i’m nothing
well i’m telling you, i am not blue without you
i didn’t quit my job to wait for your calls
and i swear that i read those books
or at least i bet i could
and i write songs that aren’t about you

Took My Medicine
02:49
|
|||
don’t worry bout me no more
throw those worries right out the door
i’m not that sad little girl
you brought into the world
don’t worry bout me no more
i took my medicine every mornin
i’m still a sad sad girl
but a little less sad than i was before
well i bury my thoughts in booze
sleep until the afternoon
buy the cheapest cigarettes
and give myself shitty tattoos
but please don’t worry bout me
i’m learning things, i’m feelin free
i’m not that sad little girl
who moved away to see the world

Buried
04:11
|
|||
father never got away
with what he did
he was smokin a cigarette
getting through his drink
wading through his thoughts
and getting through his drink
and now mama sleeps
under the steps
there’s flocks of birds
that’ll never get fed
she’ll never smell the earth
til the day she’s dead
well father why’d you leave her there
so empty
why’d you let her slip away so goddamn
quickly
he said he’d name the shirt that
she was wearing
he said he’d die before he’d see
mama buried
father never got away
with what he did
he was smoking a cigarette
wading through his thoughts and
getting through his drink
but there’s flocks of birds that’ll
never get fed
she’ll never smell the earth
til the day she’s dead.

Love Me Good
05:09
|

mama used to teach me not to
say sorry for just bein around
and i always sorta figured
someday i'd make her proud
she put the shirt on my back
she took my hand
n showed me the way throughout this
no man's land
well love me good and strong
i ain't gunna be around for long
well i can't say i'm not afraid but
i know i'll find it in the end
won't play too many games
won't keep too many friends
so take your time with me
i'll be growin slow
and when i'm walking through the trees
i'll feel you as i go
so love me good and strong
i ain't gunna be around for long
love me good and strong
i ain't gunna be around for long
love me til i'm gone
i ain't gunna be around for long
