hear the horses

happiness hit her

like a train on a track

coming towards her

stuck still no turning back

she hid around corners

and she hid under beds

she killed it with kisses

and from it she fled

with every bubble

she sank with her drink

and washed it away

down the kitchen sink

leave all your longing

your loving

behind

you can't carry it with you

if you want to survive

dog days are over

florence and the machine

knee deep

i'm working on drawing

a straight line

and i'll draw

until i get one right

it's bold and dark, girl

can't you see

i done drawn a line

between you and me

backwards walk

frightened rabbit

know my cell

we sing the nightmare

of the lies that you speak

iron bars

iron heart

iron bars

everything

dull life

yeah yeah yeahs

leave me

louder

lips speak louder

better

back together

still it's a

sharp shock to your

soft side

softshock

yeah yeah yeahs

sky

love my name

love left dry

frost or flame

skeleton me

fall asleep

spin the sky

skeleton me

love, don't cry

skeletons

yeah yeah yeahs

little early

take care.

if i told you

well i sat on the patio

while the pianos were being tuned

forget about it all

for a little while

she don't mind

she don't care

liar

built to spill

yeah

music to me is just as awe-bringing as the world maybe once was, and i just love it a lot.

now i'm free

in parenthesis

i'm not sure

what i ought to do with it

it sits in the house

bright eyes and raised hand

if i ignore its advances

then the hand goes down

i feel better

college.

exams.

plastic spoonfuls of honey.

stress.

my bed by the window.

eraser fuzzies.

procrastination.

my roomie's love notes.

utter terror.

inexplicable joy.

chemistry.

writing class.

creepers.

incredibly good friends.

missing home.

finding a second home.

can't wait

been thinking to myself

and if a life's not long

what matter does it make

if there'll be favorite songs playing in my head

when we go down to the well

down to the well

pixies

( )

so much has changed,

but

such is life,

and it's treated me pretty well

so far.

i'm ready

for some blank space.

agreed

these walls are paper thin

and everyone hears every little sound

everyone's a voyeur

it's them watching me

watch them watch me right now

they're shaking hands

they're shaking in their shoes

oh lord, don't shake me down

laugh hard

it's a long ways to the bank

i can't be blamed for nothing anymore

it's been a long time

since you've been around

laugh hard it's a long ways to the bank

paper thin walls

modest mouse

stones at my back

and if i hadn't come down to the coast to disappear

i may have died in a landslide of the rocks

the hopes and fears

so swim until you can't see land

let's call me a baptist

call this the drowning of the past

swim until you can't see land

frightened rabbit

you shouldn't

when we meet

we can talk awhile

i can sleep

in your dreams

the night alone

i've been waiting

when you say

it's no love affair

i will know

and when we go

i'll be the only thing

who cares

omaha

tapes 'n tapes

sparks

and i can't stand up

i can't cool down

i can't get my head

off the ground

head on

i'm happy just because

i found out i am really no one.

at the bottom of everything

bright eyes

foggy morning

but they're dying anyway

to turn to ash

to feel their feelings flash and finally fade away

in one fabulous and fiery

deathspray

let's pause and add our own intentions -

right here.

the latest toughs

okkervil river

i'm like this

and you're like this

i'm like this

and you're like this

but i'm a noisy singer singin' for my dinner

dinners are much stranger now

we tigers

animal collective

bet you can't even tell me that much

in the back room there's a lamp

that hangs over the pool table

and when the fan is on it swings

gently side to side

there's a changing constellation

of balls as we are playing

i see orion and say nothing

the only thing i can think of saying

except

untouchable face

ani difranco

speed leaving

i think about it sometimes
sun shines in the rusty morning
once i had a good fly
into the mountain
i will fall

call the curious sun

love is on its way

it's all that i can say

running

returning

on and on it goes

running, returning

doctor this disease

i tell tales tall as cliffs

you've got a lisp

kid, those things are hard to miss

like my cripple cough

all your weekends lost by the lake

when you said i needn't be afraid

of all those devils on the wall

that make a fella small

when he's feelin' brave

they take his wine away

there were posters on the wall

i swear my mother saw

and i've been up all night

up all night

and you came well equipped

with a gun on your hip

and some poison on your lips

but when we wake up in our makeup

we'll be clean

and we won't have nowhere to be

oh, but i can't talk to you

the way i've wanted to

i've been tellin' lies

but i'll tell you the truth

darlin', i'm tired

and i should be leavin', leavin'

you know i'm tired

and i should be leavin'

leavin' tonight

as tall as cliffs

margot & the nuclear so and so's

thankful

will i get to move on soon

i think i can

where trees swallow houses

we danced

shoes on shoes

to the sound

of the spinning

machine

we slept

arm in arm

so soundly

ignoring

the outside sounds

of the

ongoing

horrible

scene.

the ongoing horrible

maps & atlases

i loved you when i was young

but no more

so burn down

and so

so much past

inside my present

inside my present

inside my present

feeling it from dark to bright

when a wrong becomes a right

when a mountain fills with light

it’s a volcano, it’s a volcano, it’s a volcano, it’s a volcano

past in present

i fell in love again

feeling out the feelings

candy left over from halloween
a unified theory of everything
love left over from lovers leaving
books, they all know they're not worth reading
it's not for the season

not for the season

i close my eyes

i see a staircase
leading upwards into blank space
all of creation makes a sound

too soft to hear

birthday

i'm all new.

free from old conflict.

free from old obstacles and broken hearts - for good.

free from some new hurt.

hello and goodbye.

i am so much more ready for all of this

than i ever could have hoped.

the best gift of all

is this to myself -

freedom.

finally.

and you don't judge me
that's not your style
but i won't see you for a little while
and there's no worries
who's got time
all these changes are going to fill your mind

saw the stars get smaller
tiny diamonds in my memory
i know that victory is sweet
even deep in the cheap seats

everybody's gonna love today

my friends,

my family,

people that say 'hi' and smile -

you make me happy.

thank you.

let us be grateful to the people who make us happy;

they are the charming gardeners

who make our souls blossom.

wild card inside

stranded in a fog of words

loved him like a winter bird

on my head the water pours

fly away

fly away

to what you want to make

i feel it all

boute

a little scared

build a wall of books between us in our bed

repeat, repeat, the words that i know we both have said

relax into the need, we get so comfortable

remember when i was so strange and likeable?

i just want back in your head

i'm not unfaithful but i'll stray

when i get a little scared

run, run, run

i just want back in your head

when i jerk away from holding hands with you

i know these habits hurt important parts of you

remember when i was sweet and unexplainable?

nothing like this person, unlovable

i'm not unfaithful

but i'll stray

back in your head
