I will hold you together
Your crumbling infrastructure
You say it doesn't work that way
but we can help each other
Wrap my arms around you
Hold your pieces like glue
Hope that gravity doesn't fail you
or me
I've got the feeling
that you have stopped believing in me

Transmit your signal to me
So I can see you on the screen
I need you so much closer than you are
your body's like a shooting star
I'll consult a higher power
Scour the web for hours and hours
4-Armed Creature of Love
Bestow your wisdom upon me
How can I merge my body with somebody else's
I need you so much closer than you are
your body's like a shooting star
it always goes too far away

My Body is a Beehive

My body is a beehive
My senses deprived
Satisfy the queen!
I'm still alive
My worst fears come to life
Just like buildings
Bodies get run down without care
Pollinate me
Flowers bloom from my back
Or settle into buds
You ask me how I'm doing
but all I can do is buzz
Let the bees take over me
The best form of self care
Leave me in dark places
Life is difficult to bear sometimes
So pollinate me

Let my teeth rot
Let them fall right out of my gums
Make me numb
From the chemicals in your lungs
Feel all these cavities, cavities, cavities
Stick your hands inside my mouth
Let me know what this is all about
Stick your hands inside my mouth
Feel all these cavities, cavities, cavities

Are You Pleased With Me?

What's that song you like
that I used to know how to play on the guitar?
I miss you when you're here
but I know
you're never very far
Now you speak in tongues
I'm watching your heart break on TV
Are you pleased with me?
And I know that you try harder than I think
Every evening that you've had too much to drink
Now you speak in tongues
I'm watching your heart break on TV
Are you pleased with me?

Before the Sun Goes Down

I can see the tired in your eyes
and I know it's getting dark out
Raise the camera to my eyes
and you stand still for me
A moment captured perfectly,
your hair swaying in the breeze
Like it only happens in dreams
So go on,
take the picture
Before the sun goes down
Before it gets too dark out
Before the sun goes down
You can see the fear in my eyes
As you fade into the sunset
A motorcycle passes by
and it felt like the world is ending
Guess you're already too far away from me
So go on,
take the picture
Before the sun goes down
Before it gets too dark out
Before the sun goes down
When the darkness comes not much will be left
This little light of mine don't stop shining on me
The 4-Armed Creature of Love
told me how to merge my body with anyone else's
Now we never have to be apart
If that's what you want
