yr the prince of the party today
we light candles for u
u sit back and make a wish
we make ur wishes come true
we made a cake and
checked off the date and
invited ur friends
we all got wasted
so many balloons
in every color
they all surround u
there is no other
yr the prince of the party today
we hang streamers for u
it's not ur birthday but what can i say
we lay our lives down for u
we gathered round and
made u a crown and
picked all the flowers
out of the ground
we built a pile
of all ur presents
prince of the party
are u happy yet?

i cut love out of my life
so i could pass the pieces around
i found the sharpest side
of a double edged knife
and pressed down til i cut into the ground
and i watched the blood dry brown
and i watched the wound fester and swell
and i watched u crawling out of ur personal hell
are u happy yr here
sometimes it's hard to tell
i hope i know what's good for myself

sweetness, i was dreaming of this
candle cradled in the darkness
elegance, how i've longed for this
chasing after u leaves me breathless
and alone
stillness, it got quiet when u left
an unsettling silence in my head
something in u made me forget
about all the blood that brought me to this bed
now i lie in it
now i'm a god and yr a ghost
and we have twin hearts
made of stone
but i'm an arrow, u hold the bow
and i've got a long road
u already know
and u chose ur own

traitor / friend

are u a traitor or a friend?
hard to be sure til the end
u can always find a dark cloud
in the stormy hearts of men
are u a traitor or a friend?
when the dam breaks
when the flood sweeps u away
will u be brave?
are u a traitor or a friend?
hard to be sure til the end
when we're looking down on hell
while gripping the edge of god's hand
are u a traitor or a friend?
when ur heart breaks
when the blood sweeps us away
will we be brave?

u followed the suddenly emerging line
from one edge of the page to the
opposite but identical side
u've been looking for a sign
ever since the first time
that u saw that perfect color
from the corner of ur eye
u keep drawing the same shape
but give it different names
u keep crossing it out
it won't seem to erase
u try different colors
so it won't look like the others
might as well throw it all out
cus ur hand won't change
if the shape don't fit
better get over it
it's just an abstract
of a step back
and if the line's not straight
u better make it
so u bend it
til u break it
cut out all the details
so all that remains
is the contour
between what was mine
and what was yrs
but what was mine
and what was yrs?
so when the paint spills
and the ink bleeds
and u can't save
what was beneath
and the page tears
under ur hand
tell me what was the point
of all those plans?

castle

a box that was given away
but it's still in ur hands
it was given to u
when u were learning to stand
but the castle always calls u
drags u over the wet land
thinking they've been wringing the rag
for all the rag is worth
thinking they've been ripping u off
and saying they got there first
a bug that'll gnaw u thru the night
is following u home
a bug that'll gnaw u thru the night
it won't leave u alone
but the castle always calls u
drags u over the red land

woke up from a dream
to find that my limbs
had all fallen asleep
and what could it mean?
i slapped them one by one
until they felt again
laid there awake with my ache
in a familiar place
thinking of that unlit park
where everyone just
walked around in the dark
woke up from a dream
to find that the world
was not what it seemed
and what could it mean?
i shut my eyes and
waited for light

caterpillar in a box
hanging from a leaf
put it in a drawer and
close the drawer for me
i don't want my love
where anyone can see
least of all the ppl
who say that they love me
cut in my eye
i can still feel it sting
everywhere i look
is a little blurry

itchi boi u've got it good
ur so pretty and full of blood
when u get sad i'll eat it up
when it gets bad i'll feed u love
itchi boi are u still there
i know u've been feeling scared
in the dark i touch ur arm
in the light i don't feel warm
close my eyes cus it's different there
shut the blinds cus the light isn't fair
itchi boi i don't feel good
all my wounds are oozing mud
got a rash that i can't scratch
it is burning thru my back
pick this thread til it's undone
pick my lip til it's ripped up
pick my skin until i'm bone
pick my brain until it's gone
blood and hair and nails and skin
ur whole body pulls me in
teeth and toes in endless rows
around a heart that seldom shows

are the eggs in the basket
still whole or did they crack?
the yolks lookin runny
but i'll try to get it back
looks like the milk spilled
all over the whole fridge
and it's smellin funny
but i'm not sure how to clean it
and i'm tryin to pick up the pieces
but i just cannot find all the pieces
and u can't help me pick up the pieces
i'm forgetting what they look like as i sing this

water sign

did i catch ur reflection in
the stagnant pool i'm standing in?
i can feel the water rising now
i never did learn how to swim
can't tell where my body ends
and the memories of then begin
yr somewhere near the surface
and i am swiftly sinking
close my eyes as the water climbs
i think i'll stay here awhile

we wake from dream to dream to dream
each one more real than the last scene
i watch u wade into the stream
i watch it sweep u off ur feet
we walk from room to room to room
with the lights off in search of u
i hear u whisper thru the wall
i open the door but yr gone
and all the flashlights
in massachusetts
could never find u
or even ur footprints

head is sticky lovesick sleepy
circling round the same ancient mystery
which hole do i reach down to find some honey?
which card should i play to make u love me?
fruit grows on its vine it just takes time
how many days til i can take a bite?
but it belongs to the earth it was never mine
i belong to the earth i was never mine
moon croon and a rain slick balloon
it can't deflate too soon
moon croon and a selfish balloon
for now stuck to the side of the room
the atoms will relinquish me eventually
relinquish me and set me free
the atoms will relinquish me eventually
release my body from this electricity

Jack has always had a knack for blending visceral indie rock-pop with experimental structures and harmonies, but the band’s really killing it here. Every track in this collection is special; the grooves are deep and the feeling is right. It feels like a vision fully realized...so much love for these songs. <3
