Reminders of Home

Was not a good cry
Broke and I called twice
Talked for a long time
Suppose I look like
I do nothing right
Took a packed train home
Wish I could say more
So eat the cheap food
Fight about bad news
Clouds in the bedroom
A walk in your shoes
Is all I can do
Reminders of home
Wish I could say more

Corn

I will wear my Mitski shirt like body armor
I will brace the cold and damp
And I'll go practice with my band
And I will wear the scalps of men who sought to harm her
I will be angry until death
I'll use my final dying breath to tell them
Put glow in the dark stars on my ceiling
Who told you your bullshit was appealing
Does it give you a warm, fuzzy feeling?
A wound reopened, I'll never start healing
Eat shit and die on the Fourth of July
The corn will be as high as an elephant's eye
Why would anyone fucking stick up for that guy
Turns out you never deserved my time

Swallow

Was there any real return on the investment that you made
When you decided, yeah, let's have another kid
I once believed it was a sin, the situation you were in
Maybe like I'm in now, comes off a bit one sided
I like to bite off more than I can ever manage to swallow
Being your caretaker leaves me feeling pretty hollow
I think I'll slam my stupid head in the dishwasher tomorrow
Just leave me here alone, I'll be smoking away my sorrow

Birthday
02:19

Thought you'd never hold me again
When I went and fucked it like that
Trying to become better friends
Gazing just to gage where you're at
Tom came home and I lost my mind
Don't think I could love someone more
Feels like decades past since that time
Puppies in a pile on the floor
On your birthday, in the kitchen
March returns, and each ones different
It astounds me, such a strong tree
I have really missed my family

To Be Alone
02:48
|

|
In a dazed interview, she told me on the phone
When you don't have money, it's hard to be alone
I started crying on the spot, it isn't fair
It cost two hundred bucks to chop off all my hair
Constantly evolving
I must believe in the leap
What's on the other side
I'll just take your word for it
Forward, floor it
Take me on a ride

Too Far

I miss tom and I miss beans
I hate the time you stole from me
I miss my family
Look at me, I look so good
Fuck what you thought I could or should
I guess I'm ready
So fuck me up, throw my guitar
Out on the porch, that's not too far
It's been my body
It feels so good to be alive
Without that fire in my eye
Or right beside me
I feel like a normal person
I go to work, I drive back home
I act like a normal person

To the country

If you must know, I blamed myself for such a long time
It makes a lot of sense that he is still on my mind
I'm older now, I wanna wanna be here alive
The boys are back, I'm feeling strong, I wanna do something right
I head back to the country, I was scared for so long
I cross the bridge, I see the bay, I sing a sad song
Two friends came to the show I played at comet ping pong
It's easy to admit that I had really done something wrong
It's foggy, I smell chicken shit, there's nobody around
I met with Bip, bought Pete a Duster record downtown
Can't wait to see Crush Velvet boys, where are they all now
It seems like everybody knows the shit that went down
I'm not exactly sad, I'm just surprised I got hit
Surround yourself with lies and art and treat me like shit
Nobody's mom, nobody's wife, and nobody's kid
I go to work, I drive back home, and really that's it

Who Else
02:32
|

|
Don't watch me while I grow
Don't tell me what I know
Get angry, miss the show
It's time to be alone
Oh, what an honest judge
Say I say way too much
Say you long for my touch
How dare you say so much
Wish I'd done as you like
Then you could sleep at night
Not once have I done right
Gave in and lost the fight
Don't always like myself
Don't see why someone else
Would ever want to help
Who else is there to tell?
Who else? who else? who else?

Big

Try weeding all the ivy out
And learning what it's all about
I check my compass and I live without
I'm seeing the whole garden now
It's notable if nothing more
High tide returning to the shore
I need it bad whole body's sore
Moon glow, wave crash, just like before
Air mattress in the studio
It wasn't all that long ago
Love was a place I once called home
I wish I could call you but I don't
I wish I had known what I now know
It's big I get time to be alone
At least I have the smell of you
I'm fearful of forgetting too
Hold tight the branch that I am breathing through
Got water, but nothing ever grew
The air, the wind, the blowing leaves
Never quite ready to receive
In place of love, I mostly grieve
I just needed something to believe
Air mattress in the studio
It wasn't all that long ago
Love was a place I once called home
I wish I could call you but I don't
I wish I had known what I now know
It's big I get time to be alone
I never really have a plan
It's best to wait, you understand
I take my time and still you take my hand
Keep writing new songs about the band
My crooked form crumbling back to the earth again
Anticipating the glow, I see no end
