1.
Worm's Work 02:27
Worms Work So you’ve decided to crawl inside it And let the worms work through your brain Who can blame you it’s such a shame though We’ll never see you again And in the morning it’s all so boring You separate your head from your body Cataclysm some slight contrition But no words or apology The way the mesh messed with your nerves And all the drugs that it took to endure If I wasn’t an atheist I’d pray you found your Heaven You always said God was a deception
2.
Bubble Gum Portraits Sorry I threw away Your collection of bubble gum portraits Of all of your ex-lovers You kept beside the bed When you went to work I fell back asleep And when I woke up they were staring right at me
3.
Stars are Misrepresenting Watched your thin lips and the words they were forming You said it was a kind of love which wasn’t very comforting There was a squirrel scratching at the window screen You said think about it you know what I mean I could sure use some sleep Smoke detector went off in the neighbor’s house You snatched up the sleeping cat and we all ran out In the rain under a tree you lit up a cigarette The cat scratched you got free what would you expect Stars are misrepresenting Your obvious intentions Walking through the wet woods with the flashlight light Formulating some words that were bound to incite Stepping softly calling kitty in a quiet voice Somehow in the distance I can hear the highway noise I could sure use some sleep You said there were always all of these impediments The time you cut up my copy of the Little Prince In a lot of ways I think that you’re probably right There’s a certain way I see the world in a particular light Stars are misrepresenting Your obvious intentions I try and confuse one emotion with another But if there’s anything in this last year I’ve discovered No matter how I twist and obfuscate the facts There only ever one righteous path
4.
Lying 00:22
Lying I asked you to say you loved me just this one last time But I was always the one good at lying
5.
Corn Nuts 02:44
Corn Nuts Pretend playing saxaphone On your parents unmade made bed I was shouting Sabbath songs With underwear on my head Jiffy pop popcorn burning Downstairs in the kitchen And we were spinning wildly Like a whirling competition Fresca and licorice Coursing through our blood All this muscle memory Has atrophied into mud Climbing that ropey ladder To the tree fort in the tree Standing on the metal roof To see all we could see Out there in the distance The city’s curious glow Yelling and pissing on The world so far below Corn nuts and jelly beans Rushing through our veins Laying flat on our backs Shooting up at the planes Laughing about our parents fucked up lives Wishing the world could be what we decide I fell asleep and dreamed I was underground When I woke up you weren’t around
6.
Conceived 01:41
Conceived I saw a hummingbird perched on a rock I didn’t know that they ever stopped When it saw me it flew to the sky Like she’d been caught in a terrible lie I rode my bike down to the factory gate I shouldn’t have been so afraid Slid myself between the cold bars And climbed though a window it wasn’t that hard Fifth floor on the east wing The room with a heart on the ceiling The spot where I was conceived If my crazy aunt can be believed
7.
Undermining 01:41
Unermining I saw your childhood room in a dream There were colored wigs scattered everywhere And a picture of a pony on the wall I watched you as your played solitaire You hadn’t realized I was there I was nervous to open up my mouth Sunlight scattered like a puzzle on the floor A sound I’d never heard before rang all through the house Is there something wrong with everything I say Does my ego always get in the way Do I undermine the bridge that’s underfoot Do I warrant such a skeptical look
8.
Table 01:23
Table We never did it in the bathtub I said you were a little hung up You called my proclivities too bizarre I shouldn’t be living in my car We never did it on the table You said you were afraid to If your mother came in It’d be a predicament And who likes that We never did it in the bathtub I said you were a little hung up Called my appetite bizarre I shouldn’t be living in my car
9.
Discreet 02:24
Discreet Was it you I saw last week In a bear suit walking down the street I thought I saw your eyes Through the eye holes looking surprised Hadn’t thought about you in years And I know things ended so weird But sometimes distance and space Eclipse the lingering haze The ring set on your ring finger Made your paw look much bigger Was your face slightly aglow Is there something that I should know I’ll look for your name in the paper Though everything’s fallen from favor In disguise in the church so discreet I’ll drink till I can’t even speak
10.
Mary 01:49
Mary Mary are you sleeping Mary are you home Someone said they saw you on the 12st bridge alone Mary when I left you I know some things were said Sorry there were pictures of your lovely sleeping head Mary I’ve been looking Mary you’re a ghost You’re the only woman on which I lay these hopes Mary I’m conceding for you I’ll change my ways If only I could see you and kiss your blushing face Mary are you breathing this toxic city air I’ve been looking Mary are you anywhere
11.
Mine Shaft 00:53
Mine Shaft You turned your mind into a mine shaft Things fall and never seem to come back Stuck in a void But never destroyed You built your heart into a cornfield People enter then it all turns weird But there’s always a chance They’ll meet your demands There’s always a chance Always a chance
12.
My Ally 01:17
My Ally It’s the feathers on your back that make me think that you’re a bird Though I’ve never seen you fly that would be absurd It’s the way you wear your hair like your head has caught on fire Even your own mother hasn’t witnessed you perspire And you hands should be licensed by the fucking FBI Whenever you touch me I feel like I could cry You’re the only ally that I’ve ever even needed Sure I’m knocking wood but we’ll never be defeated We’ll never be defeated
13.
Ceiling 00:38
Ceiling Watching shadows walk across the ceiling Lying here feeling what I’m feeling Remembering the house hid in the forest How you slowly got yourself undressed
14.
Cheers 02:39
Cheers Here’s to all the people with birthdays I’m so glad you were born Except for those I hate And wish you’d move along Here’s to every astronaut Who flew themselves through space What a freaky phenomenon Unless it was all faked Cheers cheers Here to all the beautiful Sarahs I’ve know throughout my days I started on a list Then quickly walked away Here’s to you dead generals Who fought so gallantly Me I am a pacifist I don’t eat fish or meat Cheers cheers Here’s to all my mothers I know that sounds confused But there have been a lot of them Who’ve suffered my abuse Here’s to all transcendentalists I’m hesitant to try it When I see you meditate I wish I had your quiet
15.
Sweet Mirage 00:59
Sweet Mirage I read your poetry Got so drunk I couldn’t see Fell asleep in the old garage You walked in like a sweet mirage I was shivering in a heap You laid down by me to sleep Warmed my body wicked fast I wished that I’d thought to ask Though the chance was slim to none But I’d never see you again
16.
Unbecoming 02:19
Unbecoming You took my breath away But lately I’ve been out of shape People always let me down I guess I overestimate There was this harbor seal Seemed to always follow me As he swam by my canoe I regretted actuality Skirting along the margins is unbecoming I’m tired of this always ever running Lately I’ve been feeling way less steady I should have transcended already I want to leave my body

about

The nice thing about recording an album in your bathroom is that you don't need to go far to pee.
