Handstand

It's time for your annual cleaning at the dentist's office
It's been years since you've brushed your teeth
You hate the stench of sterilized metal in your filthy mouth
Your gums bleed but at least they're clean
Don't forget that there's always something to bring you back to the ground
It's called gravity and there's also me
I'm the one who lifts your shirt over your head when you do a handstand
And you can't see so you fall on me
Why do you care that
It hurts very much?
How do you think I
Feel in these shoes?
Do you see why
This had to be done?
You can see there's
A spiked leash on your neck

When Girls Go

I like to play guitar when I'm crushing on a girl
She can never hear the songs that I wrote about her
But I want to play for her on the sidewalk
Like from that movie she showed me
I'm willing to drive my car to the hills
I hope me and my guitar will survive the crash
I like it when girls go, "hi"
It makes me get really shy
I like it when girls laugh really hard
It makes my heart jump so far
I like it when girls go, "hey"
Feels like we're on the same page
I like it when girls crack a joke
Even if it's not funny, I'll die laughing and choke
She found out what I keep behind closed doors
I hope she doesn't mind that I'm a creep
Damn, I should've held my tongue
Now all I want to do is cut it off
Smelled like trouble; it was a bad hair day
She told me that it's charming but, she lied
I miss it when girls went, "hi"
But she won't be doing that this time
I think I said something wrong
'Cause I haven't heard from her in so long
I miss it when girls go, "hey"
We haven't talked in a few days
I tend to wait by the phone
(Please pick up)
But, we won't have another moment alone

Mood Lighting
01:57

When you come back at night
It won't be a surprise
To see that the lights
Have burned out inside
The bulbs were blinding white
Now they're blushing shy
Get ready to say goodbye
Everything will die
Do you really think I look better in mood lighting?
Oh
I don't want you to see me
I'll lock myself up with chains
But not as good as Houdini
You can try to help
But you can never free me
My blood grows warmer when it's darker
I'm not cold blooded, I just like it
When I burn I'm just like sugar
A little bitter, but we like it
Do you think I look like
Like I might want to cry?
If yes, you're probably right
I'll roll onto my side
(Never step out again
Where the sun can see me)
Free me

Juniper Breeze

I'd imagine that you smell
Like a juniper breeze
I wouldn't know for sure
But I hope that I find out
I don't know how they look
But I'll know when they're nearby
I've been reading lots of books
None of which are mine
I'll do anything to
To catch this juniper breeze
I'll build a house
Right by this juniper breeze
I'll buy a jar
To keep this juniper breeze
I want it through my hair
I love the way it lingers there
I want it all over my clothes
So I can feel it in my bones
It's brushing on my skin
But it might as well be
Intangible
