The Swiss Army Romance
Sleep with all the lights on, you're not so happy, you're not secure.
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans
But you're plastic just like everyone, you're just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed, impressing most of us as
     permament.
And I'd like to see you undone.

College nights, draw the crowds, dorms unload and you're heading out.
Here is your moment to shine
Making up a history, it's nothing of the life you lead but man will they
     buy all your lines.

Sleep with all the sheets off bearing your mattress bearing your soul
And your trying to look smooth with your tatoos
But your searching just like everyone, you could be anyone
And those friends you have are the best impressing most of us as
     permanent
But I'd like to see you undone.

Youth's the most unfaithful mistress still we forge ahead to miss her
Rushing our moment to shine
Making up, a history, it's nothing of the life you lead
But man will they buy all your lines.

We're not 21, but the sooner we are the sooner the fun will begin.
So get out your fake eyelashes and fake id's and real disaters ensue.
It's cool to take these chances, it's cool to fake romances,
and grow up fast, grow up fast, and grow up fast.
Turpentine Chaser
This paint has been tasting of lead and their chips will fall as they may
But it's not just my finish that is peeling
And it's not alone fleeing these walls

Well sooner or later this cold its going to break so our hands will be
     warm again
But all I want is not to need you now
And sooner or later this code its gonna break and our words will be
     heard again
But all I want are vows of silence now
This turpentine chaser's got kick and the rag that its soaked in is rich
The fumes aide the pace of my cleaning and as soon as I'm done I am
     gone

Well sooner or later this cold, it's going to break so our hands will be
     warm again
But all I want is not to need you now
And sooner or later this code its gonna break and our words will be
     heard again
But all I want are vows of silence now
The frightening facts we've been facing our backs to for so long now
Are begging for eyes to bear witness to lies and indifference
Now we're saying aloud the things we've declared in our silence
That new coats of paint will not reacquaint broken hearts to broken
     hearts
A Plain Morning
It's yet to be determined, but the air is thick
And my hopes are feeling worn, I'm missin home
And I'm glad you're not a part of this
'Cause there're parts of me that will be missed
The phone is always dead to me
So I can't tell you the temperature is dropping and it feels like...

It's colder than it ought to be in March
And I still got a day or two ahead of me
'Till I'll be headin home into your arms again
And the people here are asking after you
It doesn't make it easier, it doesn't make it easier to be away
I'd like to hire a plane, I'd see you in the morning
When the day is fresh I'm comin home again, comin home again, comin
     home again
When the day is fresh I'm comin home again

It's warmer where you're waitin, it feels more like July
The pillows are in their cases and one of those is mine
She wrote the words, "I love you," and sprayed it wiht perfume
It's better than the fire is to heat this lonely room
And it's warmer where you're waitin, it feels more like July
It feels more like July
