Lyrics:
Seroquel
Doctor, I'm searching for something invisible
Something of my own to find
Now that I've caught it, I'm throwing a party
A strange vacation from my mind
Springtime and carnivals all through the pharmacy
Paper chains and valentines
Weeping for love as the orchestra swells
rapture in the checkout line
Dreamless in Seroquel waiting for summer
I know you're waiting for me to come home
Holding the sun and the stars in their grace
Knowing soon, it all will be replaced
They tell me to keep steady notes
Predicting the weather and watching for ghosts
In secret, I pray for the flood
An unlikely pleasure to strike from above
Incredibly small and completely unstable
Throwing my self into any arrangement
Of matter or light that will carry the weight of me
Brilliant projections in vacuum-infinity
Good Teeth
Your teeth are falling out, my hair is falling out
Told them you were born to die discovered on the bathroom floor
Time to pay for it, apologize to all my friends
For just how caught up I am
Perfect patient dreams, ER trips and IV drips
It's all the same to me
Don't regret it, help set tables, took six years to be pretty
Wake up smiling, I can't wait to lie, I can't wait to do this again
And we looked pretty nice waiting for some good advice
What I'd give for some relief, what you'd give for good teeth
I'm Still Waiting
Walking home all by myself, mistaking you for someone else
I turned my head and looked the other way
Perfect in your flesh and bone, it's like my dead dog came back home with you
pretending it means nothing to me
Staring at you through a telescope pointed at the empty sky
Hopeful, desperate, all covered in hearts, I'm still waiting for you
Flood my brain with strange relief, all your violence won't stop me
Just burn my clothes and look the other way
I'm terminally certain, despite this whole experience
that though I can't see clearly I will someday know what it's like to look at you
Staring at you through a telescope pointed at the empty sky
Hopeful, desperate, all covered in hearts, I'm still waiting for you
The Future Never Came
If I had nothing else to do, I'd love to spend the day with you
If I could only leave my room, I'd love to spend the day with you
It's hard to tell where we went wrong and youth is short but life is long
And all you do is go around, hold onto little things you found
They tell me that we'll never really know, but I don't think I'll be afraid to go
Keep your mind take no time to grieve, just promise not to drink without me
If I had nothing else to do, I'd love to spend the day with you
If I could only leave my room, I'd love to spend the day with you
We cleaned the house and rearranged but still the future never came
That desperate ache for something more, hey, haven't we met before?
Suddenly a slight change in your face, it's as if everything has been replaced
When they drag you out for us to see, just promise not to leave without me
Saintly
Only one, your voice is true, your patience tried, your smiles few
Holy one, the skies will clear, with spit of silver stars appear
Saintly one, you'll promise, please, to keep yourself away from me
