Safer 03:35
When I told you I didn’t feel safe You said I was being so brave But I don’t feel so brave I feel like i’m a waste of space Pull up to the house I feel so much safer now cause I don’t see your car outside and I know that I don’t have to hide anymore You told me you wanted out I said you should stick around and I’m so glad you found a way We’re so much better off Pull up to your house I feel so much safer now cause I can see your car outside and I know that I don’t have to hide anymore Cause I feel safer now I feel safe for now I feel

Palm 02:34
Take me out But don’t spend any money Follow me round I'm begging for your company Will you follow me to bed Then I call my father back and he says “Fix your attitude” And all the while It’s gushing like a flood The palm of your hand is Keeping me from Spitting fire

Big Man 04:51
Open the curtain And the spotlight is shining down On an empty stage Your ghost walks through a cemetery Of cardboard headstones and paper trees I’m calling for my line I’m calling Bet you think you’re a big man Bet you think that you stopped God in his tracks You think you’re a big man The protagonist who won’t die in the end. You play your part and you play it well, The tears you cry always look real “You fucker I’m not lying” Bet you think you’re a big man Bet you think that you stopped God in his plan You think you’re a big man I think you know what I’m saying Sometimes I pretend That you just don't make it Your fingers on the cliffside Can’t hang on I don’t feel like a big man I don’t feel like I got it in my hands I guess you would know that

Hollowed me out at the pumpkin carving contest Asked you what you want You were just being honest I’m not mad about it I’m just sad When we were walking through the neighborhood and I asked if you could be anything what would you be You said something about a fig tree But all I heard was you didn’t pick me All I heard was you didnt want me Is this a trick or a treat Watching you leave it all You left us out on the street Said here’s all my candy Became a memory of a costume-portrayed friend on halloween Let’s not assume anything Cause even if there’s hard feelings We still wish you the best

Out 04:49
Could you lift A finger from your lips That stays your kind from stepping out of line In all your sureness I’m hanging by a thread A memory is what you said Will I ever grow out of this? If I could, you know I would I took a little time away To rectify and unearth The carbon in your homily And the guts inside your words Falling asleep in your wicker chair I’m not myself Falling asleep and don’t you dare tell me this all happened for a reason Will I ever grow out of this? And stop crawling back to the melting wax that burns my fingers. And when I say things like “Oh my god” are you listening?
