(Blind Or Shade)
Wouldn’t you like a new place to to put your teepee up?
I wouldn’t mind a new place to sweep under the rug.
I could exist like a whale and let the tide tell me whats up.
Where hope couldn’t live but wouldn’t die if we brought it up.
If I could exchange a couple notes, a couple promises.
I would explain to my Dad, I would side with him.
I’d make amends with my folks and my enemies.
I’d take a walk with the dogs down the quiet streets.
Yeah, we fucked it up good.
Isn’t it great? The new way suits me just fine.
Could you relate? Do you have enough time?
I couldn’t bare another year of this shit. Couldn’t imagine it.
Feeling around for your heart with no candles lit.
Look in her eyes, pale green as she takes a sip.
She’d be a queen in another life if she gave a shit.
But you’re lonesome.
And you won’t budge.
Isn’t it great? The new way suits me just fine.
Could you relate? Do you have enough time?

(Receive Much)
Once you rest and become removed, she’ll come to steal a piece of you.
Once you part with someone’s ghost, she’ll inch up just a hair too close
And everyone asks the same thing of me.
Everyone asks the same thing of me.
What mistake isn’t worth repeat?
We’re begging for change on different streets but
We won’t receive much, will we?
In her car, outside my house.
She admits there’s someone else.
And when I asked her how she felt,
She said she couldn’t really tell.
When everyone asks the same thing of you
Everyone asks the same thing of you.
What are you really trying to prove?
The price we’ll pay to love someone new but,
They won’t receive much from you.
Wash your hands when you’re done with me.
But you’re in need of comforting.
It’s a place I’ve been before.
I’ve got no use for it anymore.
Now everyone asks the same thing of me.
Every one asks the same thing of me.
One mistake, is it worth repeat?
I’m scared to stay and I’m afraid to leave but
I don’t receive much from you.

(Inertia)
We could fill up on the way.
Run from this involuntary place.
Somebody told me I was so small…
Now watch me grow.
Heaven looks like somewhere I could dry myself out.
Maybe it’s a farm, or a lake, or a gutter, or a plane that flies south.
Somehow the earth feels so small, but I watch it grow, and watch it grow.
I thought I’d fill up all the way.
I thought I’d fill up on the way.
What I would to leave a mark on you
How deep I’d cut just to leave a scar on you.
I couldn’t tell you just how far yet…
But I’d let you go, to watch you grow.

(Post Party Depression)
Might cause a star in you.
But I’m here on behalf of all pursuit.
Might scar and clot the roots.
I fear I’m a man you can dilute.
