There's a hatch in your beret
If she snaps it off you're dead
Could I scratch it off instead?
If you can it's in your head
There's a chapel by your feet
There's no laughter in defeat
Do you dream that you're asleep
Holding onto all your sheets?
You can't wake up
You can't break it
You can't get her scent off your skin
Morning takes dawn
Still I'm headstrong
Hiding the frays from my eyes
I've read all the books she read
I've seen all the scars she shed
I bet she lied and broke your head
Are you happy when she's sad?
You can wake up
You can break it
You can get her stink off your skin
Morning takes dawn
Secret hedgerow
Show me the road there
No blankets, no curtains
No headdress, no red dress
No worries, no address
No fear to smear
The blood and the tears
As it appears
Love off our ears
There are two but there's just one
One to love and one to mourn
You looked sideways and he's gone
In the end, there is no one

Why'd you make it so hard on yourself?
You look for all the signs
You can't read through the lines
You know that
I should make time for myself
I'll work on what's igniting
The past is not exciting
Forget
Maybe some wine will suffice
Or Bacardi, I guess
Far too young, too mindless
To care
I'll figure something out
I'll figure something out
Maybe I'll call you today
Or tomorrow, never
To make up something
I don't want to
I've run out of things to say
Nothing lasts forever
One day you'll remember
Won't you?
I'll figure something out
I'll figure something out
I'll figure something out
I'll figure something out
I'll figure something out
I'll figure something out

Marijuana baby,
It's what I wanna
Green havana trees
Burn the ceiling of my mullet
Avocado, cheese and Doritos
Is what I'm fond of
I don't wanna be there,
I don't want it
I don't want a job
Let me feel it for a moment
Pull it, pass it, breathe
But don't tell it to no one yet
Fuck yeah I want it more
But I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it gold
So don't you take too long
'Cause eh, Millie, I know
Marijuana baby, get back
Step out of my room
'Cause your shit be wack
I bet that by my age
You'll be smoking crack
Brother, I don't want you, be gone
Momma should've left me on my own
At least there'd be more shit for me to own
Fuck yeah I want it all
But I forgot what I want
Guess I'll ask dad
He'll give me that
Supersonic tonic
I get whatever I want
Look at my friends
I don't care about them
Don't think I care about anyone
On this volley ball
I think I'm missing a few screws
My head sure feels a bit loose
I need institutional work
To give me what I deserve
I won't go there, that just absurd
Too much commitment on my plate
Don't look at me for your complaints
Just making it up as I go
Just making it up as I go
Just making it up as I go, 'cause
Eh, Millie, I know
I know honey
Millie, I know
I know honey
Millie, I know
I know honey
Millie, I know
I know honey
Millie, I know
Eh, Millie, I know
Eh, Millie, I know

Cigarettes For Her

We go out at night
With the same people
To the same places
Try to get it right
For the thousandth time
With the same faces
And to think that I'd
Choose you over any of them, girl
But I just know our roads don't cross
The worlds they won't just blossom
The feeling's not mutual
Kinda makes me sad
I bet it makes you glad
To see me like this again,
'Cause I'm just a friend,
'Cause I'm just a friend,
Just a friend
How could I love someone so cold?
Here I go again
Left my coat at the apartment
Winter's fell like:
"Damn, should've bought some coats
When they weren't overpriced yet"
I try to understand
Why I'm doing this
Because you never listen
And you always love to make me look
Like a damn fool, baby
How could I love someone so bold?
Years and years
Years and years have I tried
One hundred times
One hundred times would I die for you baby, yeah
Cigarettes for her and I not to share
'Cause she's always smoking when I'm not there
Again when I find her it's too late
'Cause she's found another man

Are You Still Alive?

Stay away
I'm not a stone
I'm not a step to take
A brake
I'm out of soul
But I'm not a stone yet
Your voice seems so far away
Can't you hear me calling?
Your dreams, they're all wide awake
Can't you hear me moaning?
'Cause you're cold
You're dead, you're a slut
You'd take the joy from the earth
A song, a cry, your whisper
Something to shine me a light
Something that makes me remember
That you're still alive
Love, it comes and goes
It hurts, it makes me wonder
Why I'm under
Light the rings
And break my strings
Make me feel like I'm a real man
Would you let me die?
Are you still alive?
The words are in the book
But I can't read
The feelings in the air
But I can't breathe
A song, your cry, your whisper
Something that shines me a light
Something that makes me remember
That you're still alive
'Cause you're cold
You're dead, you're a slut
You'd take the joy from the earth
A song, your cry, your whisper
Something that shines me a light
Something that makes me remember
That you're still alive
Love, love, love
Love
