Track Name: Control, Confine
I know I'm banking on the mercy of my tired body fighting through the indoor storm and drang alone
I saw your call I just couldn't answer just to save you from the pitfalls of my awkward pauses, dips, and cracks
I threw away my storybook so what? so why does a little man still beat me till I"m blind and sore inside the head

rain is giving I'm just getting wet I'd rather that
don't you know I"m busily deceiving everybody that I know

You shot down my excuses so fast, backed by your unrelenting calvary of reason, honesty, and love
In return I gave you my fair share of paranoid hypochondriac inspired reasons, reasons not to go

I can't figure why you give me the time of day
after all the time I've faded into my walls

control, confine

I've got barbed wires and windows and wine
some fantastic fickle plastic floor to the ceiling I"m covered in vines that I swing from when the day is done
backpacks and blue hats with transit signs yes I love them, if you love them
communication's a faulty vocation so find a new one before it's too late
Track Name: Dear Enemy,
Julie, oh Julie, you're lying through your crooked teeth when you tell me you're happy here
Julie, oh Julie, will you reconcile with the broken tiles on the floor of your brother's apartment
Maybe, just maybe, I was lying when I said I have Roman Candle now it's my favorite one
Julie, my Julie, though it makes you sick you can never kick the habit, though you'd rather kick me

When day breaks you'll see we're not enemies
Why should I hide things you already despise
Dear enemy, dear enemy

Sherman, I'm sure man, your eyes they tamper with the things they send to the brain, it's all askew
Sherman, I'm sure man, you got to bed when most life their heads are you waiting for them to adjust to you
Sherman, I know man, the jokes you told every one was gold but they pushed me, they pushed me away
Sherman, I know man, you look down when you talk to me cause you figure I got nothing new to say

When day breaks you'll see we're not enemies
Why should I hide things you already despise
But before I leave I will make you come clean
Dear enemy, Dear enemy

When I open up my eyes it's so easy, I can call it like it is, this time I wrote the story
But my heart it sings a whole 'nother tune, it's the one that brings me back ending my hard earned quiet
and I scream and I riot, fuck the public and the private
either way I don't buy it

Trust me, just trust me, I notice when I'm fucking up but I don't need you to remind me
