Old Code
I need a little time dad
We can make it better
I need a little space to breathe, oh
The paths we made, like maps
The ocean gaps get wider
There’s a space to breathe, oh
But I believe that since you passed
the ocean ice got wider
There’s space to freeze old, old code
Old code
Old code
Old code
I confronted you
I wanted to
You lashed out at me
A coward on his knees
I wanted the truth
I wanted to blame you
Then you tried to buy me
I didn’t want your money
I only wanted the truth
I only wanted the truth
I only wanted the truth
I only wanted truth
I only wanted truth
I only wanted truth
I only wanted truth
I only wanted
I only wanted
The truth
I only wanted
I only wanted
The truth.

Not the Child
We're not the lovers we said we were
I’m not the child either
In other words, i'm better off
I’m better off
Don't write the letter you said you would
Don't walk the extra mile either
Don't bother her, she better off
She better off
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
The shift, the change:
Oh why, oh when,
Oh where?
The shift, the change:
Oh why, oh when,
Oh where?
Don't tell me about the wind
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We’re not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
don't write the letter
you said you would
don't walk the extra mile either
don't bother her
she better off
don't write the letter
you said you would
don't walk the extra mile either
don't bother her
she better off
this is in black and white
there is nothin else they can do to us now
we're not the child
we're not the child
this is in black and white
there is nothin else they can do to us now
we're not the child
we're not the child
this is in black and white
there is nothin else they can do to us now
we're not the child
we're not the child
this is in black and white
there is nothin else they can do
we're not the child

Now On
I couldn’t tell you while I was bleedin
I only held you while I was fleein
It was not the love - that we agreed on
And that’s why I left, I concede hun
I loved you indeed hun
No you did not misread our love
But the things that I buried
I buried under the shame
So deep I didn’t know that I won
Under the shame so deep
I didn’t know that I won
I wanted freedom
I was chained to this thing - this demon.
The strength of the dark made me cheat on
The weak heart is easier to lead on
I won’t give my love so easy from now on
I won’t give my love so easy from now on
I won’t give my body so easy from now on
I won’t give my body so easy from now on

Telephone
I heard you got sick in a honeycomb
I heard it on the telephone
You left in the wind you left in the black
It was a fine-tuned sneak attack
Though the wind never scared me truly
Even pain could be kind and dared to soothe me
I know you loved me truly, ooh,
But we don’t love one way do we?
But we don’t love one way do we?
They said they found you at the end of July
With a broken AC and the desert heat turned up high
In a puddle of piss, body clickety clack
They never cared about you, you were never comin back
They said you got sick - it was on the phone
They said that you weren’t comin home
Though I already knew it still felt like a smack
Then you were gone in the wind you were gone in the black
Did you do that to you for me truly?
Show me pain could be kind, and did it soothe thee?
I know you loved me truly, ooh,
But we don’t love one way do we?
But we don’t love one way do we?
I heard you’re going home
I heard it on the telephone
I broke rules of astrology
I owe you an apology
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
The last thing that I said
I meant it truly
I know you heard cuz that day you crossed right through me
You know I loved you truly, ooh,
But we don’t love one way do we?
No we don’t love one way do we?

Cradled
written by Chris Garneau
This pink forgiveness
Handheld
Heavy as the darkness God has willed
No one willed this
No one wanted this
This guilt
Underneath it is our wealth
Cradled,
You used to be so good.

For Celeste
You think you let it out too early
You think that maybe you’re too young
You don’t have to be angry
I already knew you were
Already knew you were
You missed your days polite unraveling
You missed your days when you were young
You did not get to be the child I always knew you were
You were
You don’t have to be funny
I have never asked for cheer
You can definitely have anger
Have my house:
I’m done living here
I’m done living here
You can give in a bit more easy
You can dance, you can be young
Don’t have to try, just be the child
I always knew you were, always knew you were
Don’t try to kill the little things
They are a part of you
Surrender
Surrender
You don’t have to be funny
I have never asked for cheer
You can definitley have anger
Have my house:
I’m done living here
I’m done
I’m done living here
You don’t have to go away
Anyway, you never leave.
Stay here
You have
No
Fear.

Won’t Use
I don’t need anything now
I don’t
I look at anything now
I won’t look away from it
Won’t use your queen
Use your queen
I don’t bleed anymore
I’m stone
I won’t wrap the wound it won’t heal
It never will reduce
I won’t look away from it
Won’t use your queen
Use your queen.

The Kind
I don’t even want your love
Not from afar
We are apart
You drew the line in white chalk
Let’s not talk
Maybe the night is not always dark
Baby I do bite but I don’t always bark
We can’t go on like the lark does
Don’t turn me in like a narc cuz
Cuz you got me crazy with these drugs oh yeah
You know me crazy with these drugs yeah
That’s not the kind I wanna be
And it never was
No it never was babe
Just let me be just let me be
I’m never gonna be blind
That kinda fun babe
The kind that makes me run away
Don’t visit me
I will never be lonely
You may have helped me
But you did not save me
No that was all me
A well-behaved baby
Oh oh oh oh
Say it with me now the kind they can’t win
Write it all down write it within
Write it all down remember the sin
Don’t visit me
I will never be lonely
Don’t kiss me
You don’t want anything from me
So I’ll give
I’ll give you nothing
You got me crazy with these drugs oh yeah
You know you got me crazy with these drugs yea
That’s not the kind I wanna be
And it never was
No you never were baby!
Just let me be just let me be
I’m never gonna be blind
That kinda fun babe
The kind that makes me run away
Blind: that kinda fun
Why don’t you run babe
I don’t even want your love
Not from afar
We are apart
We drew the line in white chalk
Let’s not talk
Maybe the night is not always dark
Baby your kind never really fought

Little While
I know where you’re going now
I lived there for a little while
I know where you’re going now
I lived there for a little while now
I saw you
You comin’ in the room
I saw that you didn’t see that I knew
I saw you comin’ in the room
I saw that you didn’t see that I knew
I saw you fake you knew the news
I got your card
It said ‘congrats on the abuse’
You’re fake
I knew you knew the news
I got your card.
I can’t pretend
No I can’t pretend
No I can’t
I can’t pretend
No I can’t pretend
No I can’t
I can’t pretend
No I can’t pretend
No I can’t
I can’t pretend
I can’t pretend

So Slow
Starting fire
Babe you found him now
I know you know no dreaming baby
This is bigger now
Boy you admire when you go
I know you better
Before you fire set the cannon low
He's right in front of you
Go slow
So slow
He might see you
He might see you
Starting fire you found him now
I know you know no dreaming baby
This is bigger now
Get over it somehow
Somehow
Boy you admire now before you go
I know you better
Before you fire set the cannon low
He is right in front of you
Go slow
So slow
He might see you
He might see you
He might see you
He might see you
Go slow
