Crush
03:31
|

I remember seeing you outside of school
And I wished that I was cool
So I could maybe hold your hand
And we could fall in love
But I can't compare to your perfect lover
Trust me, I understand
And I can totally get it
I'm used to rejection
But can I please tell you a secret?
I believe that you can keep it
I know you know, 'cause it was shown
But I have a crush on you
I remember when you first met my mom
And, for god's sake, where'd it all go wrong?
You can hear me begging, baby, please, oh, please
Won't you get the fuck out of my dreams?
'Cause I can't stand it when I try to move on
But I hear your voice
You say that I don't get it
And that I don't regret it
But can I please tell you a secret?
I believe that you can keep it
I know you know, 'cause it was shown
But I have a crush on you
Can I please tell you a secret?
I believe that you can keep it
I know you know, 'cause it was shown
But I have a crush on you
Can I please tell you a secret?
I believe that you can keep it
I know you know, 'cause it was shown
But I have a crush on you

Just Fine

|

Let us love for hours on end
Never lift from out of your bed
All my life with you I'll spend
All my love until the end
Look into the mirror, my wife
So I can see the rest of life
Torsos nude, passions tied
Lust has soared, love may bind
And I know that I love you
And I hope you love me, too
'Cause I know if love me true
Then everything will turn out just fine
In the end
Kiss my lips as yours are silk
Let me drink from goddess milk
Touch your body, a heaven's build
Doves will line our window sill
Hate you not if love me true
Heart will stop if not for you
A world of pink, a solemn blue
It is mine and yours to choose
And I know that I love you
And I hope you love me, too
'Cause I know if love me true
Then everything will turn out just fine
In the end
And I know that I love you
And I hope you love me, too
'Cause I know if love me true
Then everything will turn out just fine
In the end
Let us love as lovers do

I saw you walking right outside my door
With black leggings and a smile so sweet
I hit her up and ask if that was her
She told me yes and that she also saw me
I said I'm flattered and she said "I'm sure"
And that her boyfriend had a crush on me
I said "You're loyal" and she called herself a whore
But honestly, that's fine by me
Promises in fairy tales
Cheap tricks and pink thrills
We started talking and messing around
It's not too long till we wanted to fuck
You said your boyfriend would be out of town
I said "That's perfect, we're in good luck"
Midnight I snuck in, sneaking by your hound
You said your daddy would be up from all the ruck-us
I crawled into your room, safe and sound
I grabbed your waist and then we made love, yeah
Promises in fairy tales
Cheap tricks and pink thrills
And all these
Bad guys in Hollywood
Protagonists, up to no good
Promises in fairy tales
Cheap tricks and pink thrills
And all these
Bad guys in Hollywood
Protagonists, up to no good

Pink Trees
04:16
|

Every time I think of you
I push it down
Thoughts of love are signs of a weak mind
And every time we make love
I stem my tears
Is it love or is it pleasure?
Dripping pink trees
A veil of velvet leaves
Draped on you and me
Every time I see the stars
The paint drips down
Peeling off the Sistine Chapel
And every time I grab your waist
My hands are ice
Frostbitten by hesitation
Dripping pink trees
A veil of velvet leaves
Draped on you and me
This stairway to nowhere (slowly writhing and unwinding)
The dust film on each stair (just step lightly, pink mist flying)
And I don't really care (loathe apathy, Lennon/McCartney)
A truly destined pair (Is it truly not unruly?)
Dripping pink trees
A veil of velvet leaves
Draped on you and me
Castles made of sand
A flower wonderland
With Sgt Pepper's band

Honda Civic

|

Don't slow down
When we make love
Shake the car as I shake your tree
Roses bloom
As you deflower me
Stain my pants with your love
In the back of your Honda Civic
Don't look sad
Don't you frown
You know I'm in love with you
Look at the stars
As I look in your eyes
When I'm in your tunnel of love
In the back of your Honda Civic
Love within us
Love with you
Gone like a teardrop
Fallen like a star
And I just want to say
Just your smile
Can jail you for life
Theft and hostage of my heart
But that's okay
'Cause I get
Stockholm syndrome when I lay
In the back of your Honda Civic
In the back of your Honda Civic

Milk and Honey

You found another man in my bed
I can explain
See, I'm not gay
At least, well I think
And I regret the things I said
To your face
In bouts of haste
To distaste
Say what you want me to
I can't count on you
Milk and honey, dude
It doesn't pay the bills
And I don't think I will
You found another girl's Instagram
I can explain
She's just a friend
I can pretend
And I regret the things I did
Damn this place
It's just a phase
We misbehave
Say what you want me to
I can't count on you
Milk and honey, dude
It doesn't pay the bills
And I don't think I will
Let go
Let go of the past
Let go
Let go of the past

I'll Be
03:13
|

I'll say that's a wonderful way to put it
Soft cake with a bittersweet side of pudding
Each day I would pray that she still loves me
So I may waste my life and then get married
I'll be damned if you leave me
Love may break us but pain will bring us closer
I'll say she's my queen and my world
But wait, don't you know she's so much more?
Hey babe, let's go out and watch the stars
Then we'll, we'll light up the back of my car
I'll be sad and lonely
If you say you don't love me no longer
I'll be there when you need me
I'll be your only one
I'll be yours when need be
If you just say
Please just say "I do"
If you just say
Please just say "I do"

I just want to go back to the time
Where I could sit inside and play Minecraft with the boys
I just want to go back to the place
Where me and Dillon would blaze up and feel nothing but utter joy
But Eddie says that all things must change
And he's my only friend right now
And I don't give a damn about
All of the bullshit that she spouts
And I have one thing to tell
I saw you glue pennies to my shoes
I know I got nothing left to lose
Pathetic wankers will enthuse
On all these mental black and blues
In my life I will just peruse
Around for girls that I deem cute
And toxic people get the boot
When Unisex and Arsonic played
I had these words inside my head
And like a kid I pissed my bed
It's not too long 'til I see red
But not long after she said
I saw you glue pennies to my shoes
I know I got nothing left to lose
Pathetic wankers will enthuse
On all these mental black and blues
In my life I will just peruse
Around for girls that I deem cute
And toxic people get the boot
And all these jobs I will pursue
Well, that is according to you
And you will hear me sing the blues
And all these pennies on my shoes

Birdy
02:10
|

You'll never forget all the memories you made with her
And lavish little peeves and quirks that proved that this will never work
You'll never forget all the times that you had made her cry
And pushed her love until it died and leaped your anger from inside
Sweet birdy
You made my fingertips and dirty tricks allowed and burned crisp
So I had to end it
Hey birdy
Let your love run free
Hey birdy
I'm not your everything
Hey birdy
Please forget about me
Hey birdy
Let your love run free
Hey birdy
I'm not your everything
Hey birdy
Please forget about me
Please, be free

Heard you hated me
That's a shame
Thought you were alright
Trying to change me
For your own
Good luck, bud, nice try
'Cause I set aside my pride
To find myself so we can become one
Do you still recall?
The times you put me down
Or are those thoughts left out?
'Cause I know damn sure I won't call on you
Heard you're down and out
Bessie Smith
Write your own blues song
When everything's gone south
I'm alright
I am born anew
'Cause I set aside my pride
To find myself so I can finally breathe
Do you still recall?
The times you put me down
Or are those thoughts left out?
'Cause I know damn sure I won't call on you
Sweet melody
Dancing and free
And all the lovely people
Who stayed to see me grow
And all the dearest people
Who couldn't see me go
And all those happy kids I'll have
And how I'll watch them grow
And how I'll find the perfect girl to love
Do you still recall?
The times you put me down
Or are those thoughts left out?
'Cause I know damn sure I won't call on you
I won't call on you
I will not change, I won't allow you
I will remain stubborn and strange
I will not change, I won't allow you
I will remain stubborn and strange
I will not change, I won't allow you
I will remain stubborn and strange
I will not change, I won't allow you
I will remain stubborn and strange
I will remain stubborn and strange
I will remain stubborn and strange
I will remain stubborn and strange

Fly

Fly as if you're free
But please don't forget me
Dropped you from your nest
I thought I knew best
Fly, birdy, fly
Get to know the skies
You were my true love
I can't forget
Jealous that you're free
Don't be jealous of me
I just broke your wings
My heart's achey feeling
Get to know my wrongs
God, it's been-been so long
You were the only one
I couldn't forget

Brother

They beat you with your arms
And filled your glass with heart
How do you feel?
Tell me what's wrong
Man, what's the deal?
What took you so long?
'Cause what you think you are
Is what you are not
You're a brother in my arms
Let me see your face
On top a lit up stage
How does it feel?
He likes our song
Man, this ain't real
This is where we belong
'Cause what you think you are
Is what you are not
You're a brother in my arms
He said
I know what it's like to be dead
And the hate inside will be
The glorious death of me
'Cause what you think you are
Is what you are not
You're a brother in my arms
'Cause what you think you'll be
Is sweet misery
You and me'll go far
I don't wanna lose you (I remember you calling me up)
I don't wanna lose you (I was recording Buddy)
I don't wanna lose you (I answered to hear you say)
I don't wanna lose you ("I didn't mean to cut you out of my life")

Never
02:38
|

Tell me all those secrets I don't want to hear
Whisper them inside my ear
Tell me that you love me after I have gone
All you did was do me wrong
It's not love
It never was
Like the dove
That flies above
I could never be the one
That you marry
Waste your life away with me
It would never be the time
That you're spending
Always wasting time on me
I'm not worth it
I'm not worth it
I am worthless
I am worthless
I am worth nothing to you
When I go
I will lie and say I'll stay
To make it easy, I'll make sure
You won't recognize my face

We open our scene in a large, stone ballroom in a castle housing a party. Our main character, Delilah, is standing to the side, drinking a small cup of punch, when she sees a boy pacing around as if he is looking for something.
Delilah [inquisitive]: Did you lose something?
Jude [focused, trancelike, on autopilot]: No. I’m looking for someone.
Delilah [setting punch down]: Would you like some help? What do they look like?
Jude [cold, busy, to not be bothered]: No.
Delilah [taken aback]: I mean, I’m not doing anything.
Jude doesn’t respond. He walks away
Delilah: Hey! Wait up!
They walk out of the ballroom into a sunlit stone foyer with less people. Twelve o’clock relative to them is a stone hallway with another sunlit foyer as its destination.
Jude: We have to go through this hallway.
Delilah [passive, soft]: Alright. [curious] What are those on the ceiling? They look like-spiderwebs…
On the ceiling of the hallway are glistening spiderwebs, like a starry sky. They start walking down the hallway, but after a bit the hallway starts shrinking as they progress.
Delilah [confused, hesitant]: Hey, the hallway’s getting...smaller.
Jude [unbothered, focused, perseverant]: I know.
The hallway gets smaller, to the point where Delilah has to duck. Eventually it gets too short to crouch and they stop.
Jude [looking at Delilah]: We have to crawl on our backs. Don’t touch the webs.
Delilah [compliant]: O-Okay. Why can’t we touch them?
Jude [getting on back and proceeding to crawl]: They house Mandarin spiders. Very rare. Very deadly.
Delilah is obviously creeped out by this.
Delilah [hesitant, creeped out]: Oh.
As they crawl, they can hear and see the spiders crawling above them, right in front of their eyes. Still the hallway shortens as they progress.
Jude [frustrated]: Aw, shit.
Delilah [on edge]: What is it?
Jude [frustrated]: You’re gonna have to touch them.
Delilah [freaked out]: What!?
Jude [annoyed]: You’re gonna have to touch them.
Delilah: Oh, jesus...
Delilah crawls on, the webs tickling her nose. The clicks of the spider legs become more intense.
Jude [far away, his voice reverberates against the stone walls and star-like webs]: Lift up.
Delilah [skeptical]: Wait, why?
Jude [commanding]: Just do it.
Delilah [scared, hesitant]: Hnnnn...
Delilah lifts up and is transported into a universe filled with glistening stars that make faint, tinkling sounds, as if welcoming her.
Delilah [bewildered]: Where am I?
Jude [warmer]: The question isn’t where. You’re still at the party, sitting in that corner. At least, your physical body. Here is what I like to call “La La Land”. It’s a transcendental state of knowingness and telepathy. Your implicit world.
Delilah [bewildered]: It’s gorgeous.
Jude: It’s as beautiful as your mind is.
Delilah wanders a little bit among the stars, grabbing some, only for them to fade away.
Delilah [confused]: Why do the stars disappear when I touch them?
Jude [explanatory]: They are your fleeting thoughts, dancing with the second.
Delilah [tranquil, understanding]: Oh.
Jude [warm, inviting]: Can I show you something?
Delilah [joking]: What could you possibly show me next?
Jude [chuckling]: Watch this.
The universe starts folding like paper, the stars tearing away to reveal a large pool of water with an old house sitting patiently in front of it. The moon shines on the water, turning the blue liquid into a shimmering fluid. Delilah stands on a sidewalk that circles around the pool, touching the front door of the house.
Delilah [whispering]: Are we supposed to be here? This is somebody’s house!
Jude [at normal volume]: Don’t worry. The owners don’t mind.
A woman dressed in an ethereal baby blue dress walks out from the side of the house onto the pavement and stares at the pool.
Delilah [in awe]: Her dress is beautiful! It’s like it emanates moonlight.
Delilah stares at the woman and squints her eyes, trying to get a better look.
Delilah [confused, taken aback]: She has no face!
Jude: She does. You just don’t remember it. She’s a ghost of your memories.
Delilah [tranquil, solemn]: Oh.
Jude [mocking]: “Oh.”
Delilah [sensitive, offended]: Hey!
Jude [chuckling]: Are you ready for our next place?
Delilah [cooling down]: As long as you’re not gonna be an ass.
Jude [still chuckling]: I promise.
Delilah is swept off her feet right as he says that. The scenery once again crumples like paper, revealing another house that is much younger, probably circa 70’s, draped in sunlight. Except, Delilah is floating in front of this house, with the porch and front door in view. In the door is a man holding a woman, her face buried in his neck.
Delilah [curious]: Why is she crying?
Jude [saddened]: I can’t remember. All I know is that that was the last time I ever saw her.
Delilah [solemn]: Oh. I mean-I’m sorry. Who was she?
Jude: She was my wife. We had a house together. We had kids. We had everything we wanted. Yet, we had nothing we needed.
Delilah [solemn]: I’m sorry to hear that.
Jude [calm, comforting, yet solemn]: It’s alright. I just wish everything could go back to the way it was. Before she died. Before I couldn’t take the pain of seeing her in the arms of an angel instead of me. Before I even fucking met her. I felt better when I was alone. When I didn’t have to worry about anybody else but myself. Even if I don’t need to worry, I still do. And it hurts. It truly fucking hurts. [takes deep, shaky breath] Anyways, it’s about time you went back to your party.
Delilah [concerned]: Are you sure?
Jude [confident, solemn]: It’s for the best.
And with that, the scenery crumples once more, leaving nothing but black.
