Marbles

And I’ll do anything to get you in front of me
Attention wins with the bat of an eye
Another accident plucked from the back of me
Tripping on words when the marbles come out
It’s not like me to call
It’s not not not like me to call
But I’m the first to slip and fall
It’s not not not like me to call
And I’ll try anything to draw your sympathy
In through your lungs and out from your eyes
Your love is walking, stepping through the back of me
Tripping on words when the marbles come out
It’s not like me to call
It’s not not not like me to call
But I’m the first to slip and fall
It’s not not not like me to call

Clean Sheets

Leave it alone I tell myself
The churning gears rust in my head
I was a mess, I confess
But I don’t want to leave this world behind
Clean sheets
What’s the point?
In my head, it’s not
Clean sheets
When you’re gone from my bed
Clean sheets
What’s the point?
In my head,
you’re not here
Leave it alone I still tell myself
Will the years be on the shelf?
You just run and hide from a common life
I want to romanticize our hell
Clean sheets
What’s the point?
In my head, you’re not
Clean sheets
When you’re gone from my bed
Clean sheets
What’s the point?
In my head,
you’re not here
The best decision I ever made was to stop waiting on you to sigh
(The best decision I ever made was to stop waiting on you to sigh)
The best decision I ever made was to stop waiting on you to sigh
To find someone to say 'I do'

Little Belle

Baby bird
This lonely sky will never end
stop-motion dreams ‘til you forget
Settle in, take a step, fold up your wings,
and catch your breath
Little belle
The sky is lost
And your old scene is unhinging hastily
But don’t forget
Just below, that just below your nest of friends
Is the brush that you need to keep grounded

The Exquisite Wait
03:31
|
|||
|
Eyeing a window display
Just swipe to buy whatever’s in your way
What happened to shaded trees?
A piece of plastic, or an ocean breeze?
Is it the condiments that give it taste?
Is the wrapper just for waste?
The complexion of your face
The advertisements behind your eyes just race
The make-up stand and what you spoke
How much can you smear on?
The reflections of what you sold
For a dollar you can pawn
HEY
The floodgates are open now
The exquisite wait is through
Your head’s in the sand
Your knees on the ground
Is an ocean in you?

Sing Blue Silver
03:57
|

|
When the sun goes down
Under the blanket of night time
Haze coats the stars
And insulates the moonlight
I want out for a while
I won’t leave here with a frown
Friends rush in and set the sound
Vocal cords’ electric scowl
When the waves come out
How the blaring feels just like a silence
Bottles backing down
The frequency of defiance
I want out for a while
I won’t leave here with a frown whoa
Angels hum, angels fall
Leave a dent in my car
I sing blue silver away
I want out for a while
I won’t leave here with a frown
Seconds come, seconds go
Radio waves in space press on and on and on and on and on and on
Yeah I sing blue silver away

Kim Mi Young-ssi
You’re just like me
When the world’s not fair
I’ll meet you anywhere
Kim Mi Young-ssi
No other name could read
To those passers-by
You just shine your warmth to catch their eye
Kim Mi Young-ssi
You’re just like me
When the world’s not fair
I’ll meet you anywhere
