SUPERMOON 02:07
I check the weather in Los Angeles and I think about you in that heat/ I imagine you're working through it/ I imagine you moving back east/ in a regal vision I own your attention/ we are friends but not lovers/ we care for each other/ he and I are just common/ I calculate the time at home right now and I think about you on the train/ I imagine you are so tired/ I imagine you are so tired of me/ he and I are just common
2.
No One Talks 02:43
it stays so cold for so long now/ no one talks to me at all now/ they live in the basement, talk to each other/ I walk downstairs and I walk right back up them/ we are united in showing up/ everyone looks so good to me/ cuz everyone could do without me/ Li, you have always been loyal although/ I stopped looking at your eyes long ago/ I walk through you like you're dirty snow/ and I know it's bad/ I know you're good/ we are alone/ we are just trees growing crooked in the woods/ we are consumed by the matte grey sky/ i remain bitter and inside/ Li you drink red wine, you wear a tie/ and the warm lamp creates the impression of daylight/ well everyone knows/ everyone stares/ everyone sees it/ lose the urge, lose the interest
3.
Rose Knows 01:58
you never get in touch when you say you will/ you are daunting Rose but I will stand there still/ while you run up a hill/ I have been stuck before, I won't do it again/ and I apologize but you are wrapped up in grim self-interest/ that's where you're wrong/ I am alone/ I have played along/ I don't know what to say/ and it's all be for you/ what did I do to make you like this/ make me like what? I just want love/ this is exhausting/ I want what everyone wants/ I want nothing/ I want you/ well i have nothing left to give/ when we're old we won't remember/ what our story was or what we felt for each other/ leave it alone/ my memory will submerge me/ in a reel spinning times I was muddled by you/ i am rid of you too

CC 01:18
I know I'm not the one who's on your mind
5.
Lupe 02:26
I don't wanna be in plain sight/ I'll retire to the absence of white light/ and in the curtains of your eyes/ I'll uncover what was once mine/ TAKE IT UP TAKE IT OUT TAKE IT IN/ prepare to lose it/ I just wanna fall asleep but I don't have the time/ you wanna be alone with me but my time is not mine/ I don't wanna be a victim/ or a muse in your flimsy depiction/ of acquiring conviction/ i never needed any recognition/ TAKE IT UP TAKE IT OUT TAKE IT IN/ prepare to lose it/I just wanna fall asleep but I don't have the time/ you wanna be alone with me but my time is not mine
6.
You 04:07
is this a way out?/ I think that is what you're asking but/ I don't know how to answer/ you either see it or you don't/ when I was 19 you were 35 and I was learning about you/ my generation is not stoic or serene/ "I'm gonna make a lot of money and I'm gonna quit this crazy scene"/ you are filled with resistant memories/ a conscious revolution of the envied/ I came alive in your essence/ in the model you built/ but it's all changed, now we fall in love with our former selves/ over and over again I have always been able to give you/ the benefit of the doubt but it's forever all about/ all about you/ well I can not be a part of your delusional pursuits/ i can not support you if you just want to be used/ i can not help it if your plans are falling through/ and i can not love you like I used to/ you always did have a knack for this/ we are products of our raising, I am sad and you are unfit/ we just sit in these old houses while the walls fall down around us/ the ceilings crack and crumble/ the basements fill with water/ and I am stuck among all these people I don't know who only talk to me about you
7.
Berlin 03:15
We are not what we once were/ we get high drinking wine from the bottle and go for a walk/ you can't look past the graffiti or the litter on the ground/ like how I can't looked past all this rain/ In Berlin, I think about you/ it's your birthday and I wonder what she's taking you to do/ you only like me because I am never around/ and I always miss you cuz I'm always out of town/ We share sadness like a cigarette/ breathe in, pass it back and forth, ignore the negative effects/ you will untie by shoes and pull me into bed/ and I will devastate the order when I lean into it
