Bottom's Up (Better)
04:40

Listen up! The whole world's in the crux of a fever
Sent to search and destroy by the aether -
Everyone's either breaking up or breaking down.
Who'd have known we would both end up smolderingly lonely?
Now I've only one thought when you phone me -
Will you heal me from bottom up or top down?
Cause you make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
Than it was.
Simmer down, no one said a thing about forever,
But I need you right now more than ever.
Praise and thanks to the spacetime continuum that it's always now.
Cause you make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
Than it was.
We have both lost at battle before,
And we can't stand to lose anymore,
But if we don't let go and get vulnerable
Then fear will have won the whole war -
That's no victory that I can afford.
Our bond's been a mutual blessing for ages.
On what staff, with which notes, on what page is
The melody to our song gonna get written down?
Anyhow, we will come out the other side smiling,
And I'm grateful you're here and you're trying.
Oh, let's go for it, bottom's up and top down.
Cause you make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)...
You make it better and better and better...

Great

I'm not great at taking out the trash
I'm not great at knowing when I've had enough of anything
I'm not great at getting out of the bath
But I'm great at I love you
I'm afraid I don't miss you that much
'Cause we're all made of light and you shine inside me already anyway.
I'm not great at knowing i still have to call
But I'm great at I love you
Oh, I'm great at I love you
I'm not great at being or not being a mess
I'm not great at never making nothing out of everything
I'm afraid I'm imperfect at best
But I'm great at I love you
Oh, I'm great at I love you
Oh, I'm great at I love you

Sick & Suffering
03:51

i'm going to die. you're going to die.
how will you spend your time?
oh how will i spend my time?
oh the whisker i grow it won't bother me no more
when it grows six feet under ground.
and the shoes that i own that pinch my big toe
won't pinch the toe the tag hangs around.
i am sick and suffering
and i'm sure that that's not gonna change
just as sure as i'm older than i was last year
i got one more sweet toe in the grave —
and i don't let it make me afraid.
oh, decisions i made when i was 28
ham-fistedly getting unmade,
and it's frightening to know this is just the beginning
so i won't make no choices today.
i am sick and suffering
and i'm sure that that's not gonna change,
just as sure as i'm older than i was last year
i got one more sweet toe in the grave,
and i don't let it make me ashamed —
oh, i'd rather be hiding,
oh, i'd rather run,
oh, but nothing gets growing
when it's blocked from the sun.
i am sick and suffering
and i'm sure that that's not gonna change,
just as sure as i'm older than i was last year
i got one more sweet toe in the grave
and i'm not afraid
i'm not afraid
i'm not afraid
and i'm not ashamed
i'm not ashamed
i'm not ashamed

Little Islands

crack me open, there's a girl inside,
or a cluster of little islands,
not a mother, no one's child.
go to the boat,
it's enough.
go to it, go —
it is all enough.
be a person, make it personal.
crack it open at its most.
given current, catapults,
time to go home,
it's enough.
go to it, go,
it is all enough.
where were you when you rooted
and knew you're enough?
perfect moment, alone
as an island once sprung
from the center of the earth,
no one's child,
spooned by water,
made of the push,
not a mother —
it is all enough.

Blueberry

Blueberry floating in a Cheerio,
You're everything I ever wanted.
I'm tuning into my own radio,
Your frequency sufficiently haunted.
Green are my eyes, and you see them,
So I must oblige you to not look into them
Or I'll never stop crying.
It is said that the hunted belong to the knife,
But I know that the darkness
Is but a lack of light.
Blueberry floating in a Cheerio,
You're everything I ever wanted.
I'm tuning into my own radio,
Your frequency sufficiently haunted.
Woe is the child that's born learning
That he must deny or expel all his longing,
Cause he'll never stop trying.
And I know that the orchard belongs to the wife,
So I tell you I love you
Before both of us die.
Blueberry floating in a Cheerio,
You're everything I ever wanted.
My heart is broken on a cherry stone.
I'm haunting you because you want it.
