I got drunk again last night And I fell down outside the bathroom At my little sister's party I will not tell you about it I will say that this is pointless You will say that it is not You just need a little time To figure out what it is you want This could all end Has it always been ending? Were we just pretending we weren't heading to Rome? This could all end We must both leave the building Was it just a feeling that we had found our home? Everything dies and that's no crime The sun will eat the earth in time I will miss you, it will hurt I can't think of anything worse This could all end Has it always been ending? Were we just pretending these roads don't head to Rome? This could all end We must both leave the building Was it just a feeling that we had found our home? If it's hungry, let it feed If it's hungry, let it feed If it's hungry, if it's hungry If it's hungry, let it feed

Meryl 04:43
I take a long hard drag of my cigarette I stand too close to the microwave oven There are some feelings in this organ That I am not equipped to govern We go up until we reach the stratosphere We dive down into the Mariana Trench But instead of putting me in the game You wanna hang me out to dry on the bench I'm thinking to retire I'm thinking to retire I had a mentor like a centaur Too much horseplay to get the job done I didn't know what I'd signed up for I thought they'd let me have a badge and a gun My mother didn't raise a bureaucrat, A diplomat, or a state statistician I have ways of going about things Seen as illogical and inefficient They want me to retire They want me to retire I haven't thought too much about family Ain't got no husband or a couple of kids I've spent 26 years in this office I said goodbye to my relationships A long time ago A long time ago What does the mayor of a small town heart do? After she retires?

Leave 01:32
I take a moment every day to miss you I never really had to learn how to grieve Sometimes I wonder what my life would look like If I never told you that I had to leave But I did, and I left It's been months since the last time we spoke There were promises I know I didn't keep Was it a fixable or unfixable broke?

Show you what I'm worth And that I'm not just some dirt on the ground I stand up for myself and you say I look like some bookshelf you found I don't mind being the butt of the joke Because a joke might make somebody laugh It's 2018 what are you doing if you're not eating ass? You're so original You're so original You're so original Look at you go I don't wanna be a part of Be a part of, part of your team Because your standards aren't double They're quintuple, and you're all kind of mean And I like it when my friends Don't all look like each other You look me in the eye after I sing my heart out And you say, 'Hey, nice set brother' You're so original You're so original You're so original Look at you go A bird is gonna fly its way back home Some of the time I have no idea where I'm supposed to go Most of the time I have no idea what this is all about Some of the time I've got something inside and I'm gonna let it out I'm so original I'm so original I'm so original Look at me go You're so original You're so original You're so original Look at you go

In the big art museum I found myself lost I felt just like the flowing water That in that big boat we crossed I could tell that you were worried A tear fell neatly from my eye The whole world felt so far away But I couldn't tell you why The tears fall right down but they They don't hit the ground they just Evaporate in midair Public restroom wash my hands Mirrors paint a forgery on the wall You try to hold me in your loving arms But there's nothing there at all The tears fall right down but they They don't hit the ground they just Evaporate in midair Tears so salty, tears so warm I am the water and the boat and the storm Tears so warm, tears so salty Why does my own drama have to involve me? Tears so salty, tears so warm Feel like a baby that's just been born In the big art museum I found, I found myself lost I felt just like a painting of the Mona Lisa Set me free, set me free The tears fall right down but they They don't hit the ground they just Evaporate in midair I don't know why they do that The tears fall right down but they They don't hit the ground they just Evaporate in midair

Thorn 04:20
There is a thorn inside of me I keep it secret, it is an ugly pain But it goes where I go I get caught on it again and again It is as old as I am, maybe older It is a rock in my gut and a chip on my shoulder Here I am Here I am Here I am I almost lost myself back there Have you seen the moon tonight? No, me neither, who cares about the moon? When everything is dying Even my kitchen, it feels like a tomb When will the sun come up, oh horizon? How can something be so boring, and yet so violent? Here I am Here I am Here I am I almost lost myself back there

You read our faces like a book Some days I just forget to look You log the colour of every wall I don't remember much at all Our separate sensitivies Meet like a warm and a cool breeze Isn't that how tornadoes get born? I understand if you cannot linger on Where have they gone? All the moments that made me someone I am empty and I am numb I am numb From my bones to my beak to my bum And I don't feel like anyone I am a boulder falling slow Step out the way and watch me blow You're a magnificent spiderweb You feel the winds and you don't forget Where have they gone? All the moments that made me someone I am empty and I am numb I am numb From my bones to my beak to my bum And I don't feel like anyone Like anyone I used to feel those winds as well I used to feel those winds as well Until they got as hot as hell I used to feel those winds as well

Overfloweth 05:07
I fall asleep much easier now There were years when I didn't know how My body is the wreckage of a watchtower Like a little fishing boat on the loch I've tied myself to a humble wooden dock I feel secure that I'll wake up in the same place And I feel comfort when the water starts to rock The sky doesn't always have to be dark I've made it through a couple Scandinavian winters I'm like a baby in the belly of the beast And I've still got a sense of adventure Let's watch a movie on the couch Mightn't sound like much but you know that it's ours And tomorrow let's take the car down to the river I count my blessings like a child can count the seconds And hold a moment like the moment was a cup I don't know what I did in the last 15 years But the sign's changed now, and it says not to touch The sky doesn't always have to be dark I've made it through a couple Scandinavian winters I'm like a baby in the belly of the beast And I've still got a sense of adventure You know I'm not about to give up It's not time for white flags yet Overfloweth my cup, overfloweth my cup The sky doesn't always have to be dark I've made it through a couple Scandinavian winters I'm like a baby in the belly of the beast And I've still got a sense of adventure

The water broke through the dam last night The water broke through the dam The water broke through the dam last night The water broke through the dam I just wish you were here to see it I just wish you were here to see I just wish you were here to see it With me The water broke through like sixteen horses Running through the smoke of a hundred cigarettes Nobody knows why it took so long Nobody will soon forget I just wish you were here to see it I just wish you were here to see To see those sixteen horses come rolling down the hill With me
