Got a body like a cage
With a copper wire wrap
Look into my frame
And you’ll see all my cracks
And the rusted pieces
Within my system
All the twisted angles
And the gruesome crystals
That’s who I am, that’s who I
Got a body like a cage
But my ego is stained
Lucas and Branny
Lay it out with paint
The hours are passing
and the morning's coming
'til it all starts ending
under blackest sunsets
That's who I am, that's who I
And every time we go, we bring it home to kitchen sink
In the dirty dishes where you find your own class ring
There's so many people with so many bruises
There's so much out there, so many curses
And every time we go, we bring it all down to the creek
Playing Bauhaus records, to see how much we bleed
Before we're forgetting, forgetting how to speak
To each other when we're losing our will and we start to break
Got a body like a cage, and I feel trapped
Got a body like a cage, and I feel trapped
Got a body like a cage, and I feel trapped
In its ever shrinking space, its markings and its tracks
Got a body like a cage, and I feel, I feel trapped
In its ever shrinking space, its markings and its tracks

I Am Made of Solid Gold

May I present to you tonight’s entertainment
There’s no time to waste
He’s sure to impress, internationally famous
I’m standing and I’m looking at my face
and I can't believe it
I'm made of solid gold
Everything is fine, but it's not okay
I made my way back home
Everything is fine, but it's no tokay
I'm made of solid gold
I'm Rimbaud reborn, Verlaine recalled
and everything is happening for me
I'm the glorious sort, the belle of the ball
but I know I'll just wake up feeling empty
and I can't believe it
I'm made of solid gold
Everything is fine, but it's not okay
I made my way back home
Everything is fine, but it's no tokay
I'm made of solid gold
I'm made of solid gold
I'm made of solid gold

You told the truth today
You don’t know what this is
And I feel great today
A fire under my skin
No holds and no mistakes
It was a series of wins — you said
I don’t know how to say this
But I don’t wanna begin anything
I’m so thrilled
I’m so thrilled to be here
Let’s talk about something else
I got some news from the west
I once had an injury
Got this bruise on my head
What else can I say
To fill in all the gaps
I’m feeling great today
I wouldn’t lie about that
Speak softly
Like we did on your bed
Just talking
Not a thought in our heads
I'm on my cloud nine
I feel like an ace
Your hand slipped from mine
In a moment of grace
I’m so thrilled
I’m so thrilled to be here
I'm so fucking stoked
I'm having a blast
I'm having a ball
And I hope this'll last
Forever and all
I'm so thrilled

Didn’t think about what I said
‘til I hit the down of my bed
Wait a second, that’s not what I meant
I’ve been drinking since I walked in
You can’t you can’t you can’t you can’t take it back
You can’t you can’t you can’t you can’t take it back
And i’m still around, kicking these old boots
I’m talking loud, louder and a step outta tune
And I’m not proud, of all the things that I do
When I’m sailing out, I can’t find the moon
I kept that note in a book
Read it more times than I should’ve
Saw your face in the smoke
You would’ve stayed if you could’ve
But you can’t you can’t you can’t you can’t take it back
and she can’t she can’t she can’t she can’t take it back
And i’m still around, kicking these old boots
I’m talking loud, louder and a step outta tune
And I’m not proud, of all the things that I do
When I’m sailing out, I can’t find the moon

Hold Me, KD

I can't sleep, and I can't think
without seeing red in my hands
I can't blink, I can't really be this flat
on my back
This can't be- what you're doing to me is so bad
You got me bad
Hold me KD, I've got something to say
You say you want me but you push me away
It's alright I can see the pain on your face
Can you see mine?
I don't know, and I don't care
Where I'm at this evening
and I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't care,
If I was leaving town tonight - I might
Hold me KD, I've got something to say
You say you want me but you push me away
It's okay baby I've got nothing to say
When you want I'll be just a moment away
It's alright I can see the pain on your face
Can you see mine?

Hello again, my designated hitter
I'm just wondering if this glass can get me through the next 20 minutes
Alone in bed - that oughta do it
When it's cold or not, I'm under an- I'm under an influence
I'm under the weather, I'm above it now
I'm high above the world and I'm too high to make it out
I'm as calm as ever, I'm as cold as ice
I'm shuddering in the darkness of daytime
and darling, we're doing just fine
and honey, we've got it all
the season looks alright
the majors' about to call
Everything's a dream and, I can see you thinking:
"Welcome to the show, I'm glad to be here, and glad to see ya"

There's a line I used to say all the time
A joke that never landed
I put on a suit and I started drinking wine
I was trying to be romantic
but it didn't work, and I don't care
it never works, and I don't care
So I bleached my hair and threw out my clothes
I made a big scene and I shook my bones
I stopped smoking weed cause it bummed me out
I stopped drinking but that didn't work out
but it didn't work out and I don't care
It never works out and I don't care
Why am I like this?
Is it interesting at all?
Why am I like this?
I'm just a tired animal.
Why am I like this?
It's not interesting at all.
Why am I like this?
I'm just a tired animal.
I'm not prone to violence, I'm not tearing it up
I wouldn't say I'm spineless, but I'm not all that tough
Struck down and speechless, but that's nothing new
And these words are meaningless, but I owe them to you.
Why am I like this?
Is it interesting at all?
Why am I like this?
I'm just a tired animal.
Why am I like this?
It's not interesting at all.
Why am I like this?
I'm just a tired animal.

I’m heavengoing in this light
Benjy Compson on my mind
I’m heavengoing if I see you tonight
I feel out but I don’t know why
I see the light upon the waves
Mirroring my favorite saint
I don't care what I might say
A vaguely interesting disgrace
Walk my way, I’m heavengoing
Talk that way, you’re all I wanted
Walk my way, I’m heavengoing
I won’t stay, I won’t be haunted
And I know when you do that move
You’ll be close to me
You’ll be cutting the tips of your shoes
Like it‘sposed to be
And I think that you feel it too
Crashing into me
When I say I do, I do
So take me from this state of misery
Walk my way, I’m heavengoing
Talk that way, you’re all I wanted
Walk my way, I’m heavengoing
I won’t stay, i won’t be haunted
