Baby Teeth 03:49
we talked about pulling teeth little us and our little techniques different art forms we practiced different surgical tactics. you were scared and soft you made sure your hands were washed wait 'till they're hanging by a thread coax pearls from your mouth and you never even bled. your patience payed off your teeth are fine bones worth a dollar bones worth a dime. (chorus) pullin' out our baby teeth, we both confessed to forgetting the feeling empty ache soft hole in my head you kinda feel like that instead. phantom limb syndrome in my mouth knock 'em out before my heath goes south I used to be scared of that pain but then it all started feeling the same. I was eager and I couldn't stop bloody sink a homemade dentist workshop pulling bones from my gums, an empty mouth makes you speak in tongues. my haste was my demise eager for a silver prize now my teeth aren't as straight they say good comes to those who wait. (chorus) pullin' out our baby teeth, we both confessed to forgetting the feeling empty ache soft hole in my head you kinda feel like that instead. do you remember what it's like pulling pieces from you head? no I think that means our youth is dead. a metaphorical loss of our childhood I don't know why but I thought all that blood felt good. (chorus) pullin' out our baby teeth, we both confessed to forgetting the feeling empty ache soft hole in my head you kinda feel like that instead.

Out 02:58
hit the pavement like you mean it headlights, rubber, and asphalt insides oozing like a demon, please rub my wounds with rock salt. I hope the bruises show, I want them to know that I liked it when it hurt soft brass-knuckles I hope this blood stains my shirt. (chorus) get out of this body get out of this head, c'mon, please, I just wanna go to bed. get out of the house and start the car don't know where I'm going but I hope it's far. baby, please, be good at everything you do cause if you aren't they'll find out about you. come home slow full of cigarette butts and bubbles honey, they won't know this is a chalk outline I sent the body-double. hit me like you mean it, the meds, the leather, the cotton we should up the dosage, Mama to fix this thing inside me that's rotten. (chorus) get out of this body get out of this head. c'mon, please, I just wanna go to bed get out of the house and start the car don't know where I'm going but I hope it's far. baby, please, be good at everything you do cause if you aren't they'll find out about you. trip up the stairs, smelling like bourbon smelling like her skin this age is so suburban. trip down the stairs, nails turning yellow like a school bus keep the walls quiet, honey don't go stirring up no fuss. (chorus) I said get out of this body get out of this head. c'mon, please, I just wanna go to bed get out of the house and start the car don't know where I'm going but I hope it's far. baby, please, be good at everything you do cause if you aren't they'll find out about you.

we've all dated each other or made out once or twice and I think it's really weird that you don't know 'bout my life. I really hope we don't have any classes together Veronica Mars and the rotating Heathers. (chorus) I know you hate your friends 'cause I hate my friends too and I know you wanna quit but your vision's askew and I know can't relate to the group that sits across from you in the room. she's quick to fall in love they're quick to make her feel used please say you love me so much but leave me feelin' confused. on and off and on and gone we make each other so sad Frank-n-Furter and Rocky, Janet, Asshole Brad. (chorus) I know you hate your friends 'cause I hate my friends too and I know you wanna quit but your vision's askew and I know can't relate to the group that sits across from you in the room. hey guys, if you're listening to this song, don't look too deeply into it. everyone gets kinda frustrated and annoyed at their friends sometimes and it's hard to function. so don't worry. just keep telling yourself that this song isn't about you. 'cause it can't be right? unless it is. (chorus) I know you hate your friends 'cause I hate my friends too and I know you wanna quit but your vision's askew and I know can't relate to the group that sits across from you in the room.

Milk & Honey 03:57
when she kissed me she broke my bones. right hand of God kneel before the throne. I'm too big for this burial ground my hand around her waist is a thorny crown. my skin rots and falls off when she touches me baby, spread your legs like Moses split the sea. (chorus) choir hymns of "oh my God"s leaked from my teeth. Lazarus thoughts and holy water bubbled up from underneath. say a prayer of communion under halo white sheets. you can die and resurrect but we'll never be at peace. our hands and feet are full of holes. stigmata screams babe, we're two damned souls. antichrist eyes our acts are heresy. on the alter bound a little death here with me. Father, Son, you, me, and the Holy Ghost say amen and taste my skin like the blessed host. (chorus) choir hymns of "oh my God"s leaked from my teeth. Lazarus thoughts and holy water bubbled up from underneath. say a prayer of communion under halo white sheets. you can die and resurrect but we'll never be at peace. holy shit I'm totally going to hell for writing this song, it's blasphemous, I hope the after life isn't all that long. confessions are supposed to be special, ya know? drunk, confused and young shit I'm so sad and on New Year's all I can think about is your tongue. (chorus) choir hymns of "oh my God"s leaked from my teeth. Lazarus thoughts and holy water bubbled up from underneath. say a prayer of communion under halo white sheets, you can die and resurrect but we'll never be at peace.

Linoleum 02:39
I can't see myself in the glossy reflection. astro-turf and scratchy polyester kinda feel like rejection. feet first, back straight, 1, 2, 3, 4 take a lap and pass out, no, I can't take it anymore. (chorus) run the track, kid, your body's fucking weak, get your damn blood moving it'll rid you of that disease that afflicts you all over, mind, body and spirit. shaking thighs, sweaty palms, our shouts are incoherent. alter-ego autograph sharpie signature on cotton, scratch your name across your chest, I hope my name's forgotten. weight-room anxiety my mouth tastes like bile, I hope the dumbbells crush me flat, final destination style. (chorus) run the track, kid, your body's fucking weak, get your damn blood moving it'll rid you of that disease that afflicts you all over, mind, body and spirit. shaking thighs, sweaty palms, our shouts are incoherent. oh, sweat turns to blood when you can't make a 12-minute mile, when you can't outrun the flood, shit, these shorts are so out of style. oh, sweat turns to blood when your blister eats the bandaid, drag me through the mud, I hope she bumps my grade. (chorus) run the track, kid, your body's fucking weak, get your damn blood moving it'll rid you of that disease that afflicts you all over, mind, body and spirit. shaking thighs, sweaty palms, our shouts are incoherent.
