Poison Pen 02:45
Belladonna on your poison pen Write it down, and let’s never speak of it again I’ve been losing sleep over you lately I’m wide-awake by the break of noon Keeling over, my face turning blue I never thought you would really see this through I’ve been moaning like a cat gone crazy Wondering how I’m gonna get to you Because I wanna know what you’re like when you make love I wanna know how you lie when you get caught I wanna know what you use to draw blood I wanna fall at your feet and never get up I wanna watch you wail and speak in tongues I wanna see you sweat, you wanna see me run I wanna grow old and stir shit up I want you to take me in and show me love
3.
Feelin' Wild 02:20
Feelin’ wild Feelin’ lonely Feels like you’re not here anymore Now I’m trying to wrap my mind around you being gone I’m feelin’ lazy I’m binging FRIENDS The cats are starting to stress me out I cover my head, I breathe in, and freak out I’ve been going through the haze Losing count of the days And it always feels so strange That I will always have more to say to you I’ve been trying hard to find A new way to ease my mind And a day where I don’t try to keep it all bottled up inside Mmmm I’ve been going through the haze Losing count of the days And it always feels so strange That I will always have more to say to you
4.
Oh, please hear me now I’ve done all I could It’s like you’re trying to pay me out, but the money ain’t that good What if we went back and tried to sort it out? Would you still be with me now? Oh, self-loathing, how you whisper in my ear “This place is boring, don’t you wanna get out of here?” When you hear that voice you have to find yourself And admit you need the help Because there’s a light that just won’t dim And a love that never dies No matter how hard you try If you still want to try
5.
Find A Way 03:50
There hasn’t been a day that’s gone by Where I could get you off my mind And nothing I could ever do Can explain the way that you drive me Crazy, Bonkers, Mad But I’ll feel that any ol’ chance I can For you I’ll travel any land If I could find a way to be your man I’ve been dreaming all about the mundane The ways that we could waste our days, and you’d say “I’m never getting out of this bed. Baby, go and make me some eggs right away!” And it’s strange, but I enjoy that so much more Than dreaming of monsters and waking up on the floor For you, I’d be a steady hand If I could find a way to be your man If I knew you then like I know you know I know you can’t see in But I woulda let you see out Oh, for you I’d learn to love again If I could find a way to be your man

Pillow Top 04:06
Sing for me Oh, you little songbird Why do you leave when I need you the most? Hold strong You tiny little tree branch You weren’t made to carry those icicles And it’s only getting colder It’s only getting colder You see me from outside of my window Trying to move on You hear me trying to sing your songs I don’t know what you did and I’m gettin’ ‘em wrong Gettin’ ‘em wrong Welcome me, my pillow top bed I’m needing sleep and you won’t leave me alone Count me in I can’t figure out when to come But I know where I’m supposed to begin You see me from outside of my window Trying to move on You hear me trying to sing your songs I don’t know what you did and I’m gettin’ ‘em wrong Gettin’ ‘em wrong
7.
Trying to write but the page is staying blank It comes and it goes I’ve never been one to be short on words Or so I am told by the people I know And the people I know Are still on my mind You’ve been awful quiet for a while Is something wrong? You’ve been known to do this from time to time You’re here like a ghost You’re gone like your soul But what do I know? You’re still on my mind all of the time I can’t wait around for things to change Or for you to say things are better this way It hurts less every day, but you’re still on my mind
8.
These days I've been restless I've been reckless I've been fooled Into thinking that some substance Some abuse Might get rid of you I've been lying to myself Thinkin' I could use the help To deal with you Right now, I am hungry Sittin' alone, and wide awake Surfin' waves of sorrow And what tomorrow brings I'm afraid I've been lyin' to you, man Thinkin' things will never change But now nothing's the same I've been lyin' to myself Thinkin' I could use the help To deal with you
9.
New Normal 03:25
I’ve been goin’ every day In and out of freakin’ out I hear you all the time saying “let me go” Or “let me out” But anything you say to me is all I really need If you have anything to say to me, do it please Man, I’m really gettin’ spent Tryna thinka where to go Or where you went There’s a new normal now Or so they say anyhow But anything you say to me is all I really need If you have anything to say to me, do it please
10.
Out Of Reach 01:41
You beg for further proof That I'm still in love with you You're out of my reach and no matter what I do I fear that I'll never get ahold of you Oh, if I never let you go This wouldn't have been a problem at all Oh my, get outta my head It's like we'll never love like that again Give me a time, give me a day Give me anything that I could say The distance ain't easy and money gets tight But I'd do anything to be there that night Oh, if I never let you go This wouldn't have been a problem at all Oh my, get outta my head It's like we'll never live like that again
11.
Skeezy Motel 03:44
When we wake up We think of what we're gonna say to each other We get made up And talk about each other's lovers When did you meet him? What does he do to get you rarin'? What are your feelings On you and I gettin' a little distracted? I don't want to be some skeezy motel fucker Don't wanna run off And I don't wanna be the reason why you'd leave your lover Give me a shoulder I'll give you something that you can cry on I'm always the man you know that you can rely on And you're running You're chasing a goal that can't be acquired I know you have been running so much that it's making you tired But I'm not running And I'm not scared And I'm not tired yet When we wake up We think of what we're gonna say to each other We get made up And talk about each other's lovers
