I Love The Damage 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Dust gathers as I soon as I clean it I’d show you my heart, but I don’t think you’d see it I fix it but it always breaks I mostly give, and you mostly take I like to fly my kite in lightning Because the rain doesn’t bother me now, not even slightly So let it flood I love the damage Let it flood I love the damage I love the damage Let it flood I love the damage I once stole a bottle from a grocery store And then I got to the bottom so I went back for more And then the owner called the cops Something in me loves the chase Something in me loves to get caught 
So let it flood I love the damage Let it flood I love the damage I love the damage Let it flood I love the damage And like Mohammed Ali I’ll come back stronger Ten times the riot Ten times the quiet Spend all my money Live out the rest of my twenties in vain, vain, vain This other time I broke my arm when I was three My mother and my brother said I thought it was funny But I now I think it’s better to cry Cause you never break exactly the same way twice You never break exactly the same way twice So let it flood I love the damage Let it flood I love the damage I love the damage Let it flood I love the damage I love the damage I love the damage

You've Changed 04:29

Remember you with stars in your eyes Just like a winter sky that whispers of warm (It was raining) And at the time you were writing for film, and traveling Every day I swear you will Find me And I write songs in my car about where I am and where you are And I write songs And I write songs And I write songs All I needed was a little bit of love And just a little bit had always been enough Just a little shade — Daddy loves you on holidays All I needed was a little bit of love Just a little bit of love Until you started with this I will always love you shit I try to sleep but it’s not the same Without you even dreams are painful and strange It’s still raining And I write songs in my car about where I am and where you are And I write songs And I write songs And I write songs All I needed was a little bit of love And just a little bit had always been enough Just a little shade — Daddy loves you on holidays All I needed was a little bit of love Just a little bit of love Until you started with this I will always love you shit I will always love you shit I will always love you shit And when I see you again I’ll look for ways that you’ve changed And I’ll hate them all, you should have stayed the same I’ll pinch myself to be sure I’m awake I’ll hate myself cause it’s how I get away I’ll wonder if I dreamed the whole damned thing All I needed was a little bit of love And just a little bit had always been enough Just a little shade — Daddy loves you on holidays All I needed was a little bit of love Just a little bit of love Until you started with this I will always love you shit Just a little shade Just a little shade Just a little shade I wonder if I dreamed the whole damned thing Just a little shade

Making It Worse 03:25
lyrics
buy track
To this day I can still taste gin When I hear that fucking song by the Smiths "Sing me To Sleep" played on repeat I'm a sucker for pain, I know But I used to be such a sweet little kid Like overalls, like corduroys It's funny to think while I'm circling ads In the Village Voice for work as a go-go boy Maybe if I shake it shake it, shake it like a pro Someone will see, someone will know Or at least I’ll feel rich, and I won’t be home I found this great place on 13th and 6th I just know it would be your favorite The lady’s real nice, they’re open all night Sometimes I drink for free But it used to be we’d take walks in the cold And look at stars like we’d never get old But now you’re working for cartoon executives You’ll be rich one day I’ll be Tanqueray Maybe if I chase it, chase it, chase it with a beer Someone will catch me, someone will hear I think that I think it just tastes like Christmas cheer If you should hear this and look to find me Here’s a hint: I’m somewhere in New York And I’d like to believe this is my therapy But that song, it makes everything worse

Berlin 02:46
lyrics
buy track
It takes exactly the same amount of time To live as it does to die You can argue because of heart attacks And things like that But it’s true I never made it to Berlin I never made it to a recognizable cathedral Just like many other people The world is gonna end I can feel it I can feel it coming And maybe we’ll go on I’ll believe it when I see it on tv I never made it to Berlin I never made it to a recognizable cathedral Just like many other people I never made it to Berlin But maybe it’s not even all that great I’ve got a fear of planes anyway

Just Because 03:19
lyrics

Worms in the trees, birds in the valleys Elephant feet walking through the alleys Walking through the alleys Do you think it’s just the time of year Do you think it’s just because Do you think it’s just the time of year Do you think it’s just because I never did find a light in the shadows Except for this time With my best friend and medicine But never again, never again Do you think it’s just the time of year Do you think it’s just because Do you think it’s just the time of year Do you think it’s just because Do you think it’s just the time of year Do you think it’s just because Do you think it’s just the time of year Do you think it’s just because Maybe it’s just the planets and such Maybe we’re all just fucked
