If You Say So

Say that I'm pretty, say that I'm lovely
Say that I'm handsome, say that you love me
If you say so
Say that I'm ugly, say that you hate me
All of the hate that you dedicate me
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so, if you say so
If you say so, if you say so
Say that I'm helpful, say that you need me
Say what you want but I know you'll leave me
If you say so
If you say so
If you say so, if you say so
If you say so, if you say so
'Cause I know I won't be satisfied
Even when you say that it's alright
And I know that I will only go
When it's only you who makes the flow
And I know, if you say so
If you say so
If you say so, if you say so
If you say so, if you say so
If you say so, if you say so
If you say so, if you say so
If you say so

What a Time
03:49

What a time, a time to be alive
Simpler than it's ever been to sip from the wine
What a time, to be inside your head
Stuck there, playing back the things that were said
Oh what a time, a time to be alive
With all the extra seconds you could take a drink or five
Oh what a time, to be inside your head
Stuck there, playing back the things that you read
And I wish it wasn't so hard just to get by on
And I wish the rest was fine, just fine
And I guess it isn't so hard to see it flying
What a time
What a time, a time to be set
There's a notion in the rain that the bar isn't met
What a time, to be a little sad
Still there playing back the things that were said
Oh what a time, a time to be set
It washes all away then complains that you're wet
Oh what a time, to be a little sad
Still there playing back the things that you read
And I wish it wasn't so hard just to get by on
I don't want to lose my eyes
And I guess it isn't so hard to see it flying
What a time
'Cause I think about it too much, too much, too much
Or I don't think of it enough, enough, enough
'Cause I think about it too much, too much, too much
Or I don't think of it enough, enough, enough
'Cause I think about it too much, too much, too much (And I wish it wasn't so hard)
Or I don't think of it enough, enough, enough (And I guess it isn't so hard)
'Cause I think about it too much, too much, too much (And I wish it wasn't so hard)
Or I don't think of it enough, enough (And I guess it isn't so hard)
And I wish it wasn't so hard just to get by on
And I wish the rest was fine, just fine
And I guess it isn't so hard to see it flying
What a time
Too much, too much

Butter & Jam
03:03

It grabs you when you're blind
It pawns you, such a good find
Beyond you in your mind
Implies your own thoughts have zero motivation
Or else they have no patience
What do you want?
Too simple, it's a wolf like a lamb
Butter and jam, yes ma'am
Just some butter and jam, yes ma'am
It puts you on its time
It costs just a nickel and dime
It gives you all your lines
Always fishing for your thoughts have plenty hesitation
Or else they have no patience
What do you want?
Too simple, it's a wolf like a lamb
Butter and jam, yes ma'am
Just some butter and jam, yes ma'am
Butter and jam, it's a wolf like a lamb
Butter and jam, yes ma'am
Butter and jam, yes ma'am
Just some butter and jam, yes ma'am
Butter and jam, yes ma'am
Just some butter and jam, yes ma'am
Butter and jam, yes ma'am
Just some butter and jam, yes ma'am
Butter and jam, yes ma'am
Just some butter and jam

No Rules
02:56

No rules in love and war
Only gets you so far when you're out the door
Sure I can't go and take you to lover's court
But you'll never know when you wish you had more
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war
You ain't got my love anymore
No rules in war and love
Only gets you so far with your other stuff
Sure I can't go and call your lover's bluff
But your chips ain't there when you leave in a huff
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war
You ain't got my love anymore
No sense picking up the car
When your gas runs out, out this far
And there's no sense picking up the tab
When your credit card's got my name attached, so
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war
You ain't got my love anymore
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war (No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat)
You ain't got my love anymore (No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat)

Have a Heart
02:27
|

Am I dumb or am I smart?
Is it my fault I have a heart?
When I love we drift apart
Should I learn to play my part?
When I see the sun again
I'll stare at it and burn my eyes
'Cause I won't know when it will end
And I'll have nothing else to hide
Am I just dumb or am I smart?
Is it my fault I have a heart?
A hundred nights without a love
Are you the one I'm thinking of?
The forest knows that I can't see
Anything besides the trees
No one knows what I could be
If I broke away from the weeds
Am I dumb or am I smart?
Is it my fault I have a heart?
When I love we drift apart
I want to learn to change my part
Am I just dumb or am I smart?
Is it my fault I have a heart?
A hundred years without a love
Waiting for the one that I'm thinking of

Take a Gander
03:06

Boys will be boys
And girls will be girls
Differences signal the end of the world
And you can be anything you want to be
As long as your dreams align perfectly with patriarchy
Take a gander at your gender and you will see
Check your manner and your slender anatomy
Raise a banner, have a bender 'till you render out your anger
Silently, they yelled to she
Men will be men
And women the same
Differences signal an end to the game
And you can do anything you want to do
Long as your hopes are few and far between the everything seen
Take a gander at your gender and you will see
Mind your manners and your tender anatomy
Raise a banner, have a bender 'till you render out your anger
Silently, they yelled to he
And though times may change
It stays all the same
As our hopes get higher I preach to the choir that
You can be anything you want to be
Even if your self denies long-defined what's premised
Take a gander at your gender and you will see
As you ponder, growing fonder of what it could be
Though it's stable, it's a label and it's fabled it will table
'Cause there's not much it means in reality
In reality

Does it sound good?
Don't care

Fly Seeing
03:57
|

|
Awake when you're asleep
So fake and yet so deep
It can drown you
When everything you do
Only serves to make the blue
Of the swimming pool
Yet we are only satisfied
When we can only shut our eyes
And dream
Can make you so upset
And yet you still forget
What you were shown
Though it's terribly untrue
It uses ethanol like glue
To keep it together, so unknown
Yet we are only satisfied
When we can only shut our eyes
And dream
And we can only memorize
The things that keep us mesmerized
And leave
We are only satisfied
When we can only shut our eyes
And dream
And we can only memorize
The things the keep us hypnotized
And leave
Oh we will only be satisfied
When we can finally shut our eyes
And fly, seeing

For Just One Minute
01:00
|

For just one minute you ignore the call
For just one minute you can let it fall
For just one minute it didn't matter at all
And though that minute's real
Once that minute sits
You'll have to deal with all of it

All's Well Ends Well
03:11

I think it's finally time to get out of here
The end of every living thing is near
I think it's finally time to confront our fears
The people below have lost their minds
Building knives and guns and copper mines
The people above have gone away
What else is there to say?
All's well ends well
I'm sure that this is right
All's well ends well
I'm sure
The last time the planets aligned they said
The sun is gone and now it's time to get out of here
The last time the planets aligned they said
The sun is gone and now it's time to flee
We're watching every single shore erode
Will we stay to watch our sun explode?
I think it's finally time to get out of here
The people below have lost their way
Getting worse and worse day by day
The people above have come to find
They're gonna leave us behind
All's well ends well
I'm sure that this is right
All's well ends well
I'm sure
All's well ends well
I'm sure that this is right
All's well ends well
I'm sure
All's well ends well
I'm sure that this is right
All's well ends well
I'm sure

Long thought without a society
Forgot their own propriety
Gone south where nobody else can see
Could you really call them free
In this void that they call their own life
Not a coin in sight, not a threat to stifle them
Long ago threw away their own knife
Just a cigarette butt behind their ear
Thought much of every game they played
Lost touch with every friend they made
Gone south where nobody else can hear
Is there even anything to fear
In this void where they find their own place
Not a toy in sight, not a single star in space
Long ago outgrew their own face
Just a cigarette butt behind their ear
Long thought without a society
Forgot their own propriety
Gone south where nobody else can see
Could you really call them free
In this void that they call their own life
Not a coin in sight, not a threat to stifle them
Long ago threw away their own knife
Just a cigarette butt behind their ear
Behind their ear, behind their ear
