I wanna build a house with you
With windows of an open view
I wanna build a home with you
With a red door and chimney too
Brick by brick
With cement to make it stick
Like glue
Brick by brick
With cement to make it stick
Like glue
I wanna build a house with you
A stepping stone garden with bamboo
I wanna build a home with you
Just like a construction crew
Brick by brick
With cement to make it stick
Like glue
Brick by brick
With cement to make it stick
Like glue
Take it away, Amy!
Amy: Let's get building everyone!
Ellie: Wait where does this part go again?
Amy: Do you know anyone with a truck?
Ellie: God, is it seriously raining?
Amy: (That's not your line)
Ellie: Did you ever use one of these before?
Amy: Can you please put it where I told you to?
Ellie: My right or your right?
Amy: Higher, a little higher, no lower, no, a little higher
Ellie: Ow!
Brick by brick
With cement to make it stick
Like glue
Brick by brick
With cement to make it stick
Like glue

Oh, how am I supposed to sleep
Knowing every day that passes
is another step away from
the last time that I saw you?
Oh and though your pain is through
I can only recall that night
as the moment that the moon fell down
Oooh and I miss you
Oooh and I miss you
I've got a feeling that she knows
She'll never be alone
Her spirit's all around us
Even if she can't come home
I remember when you said
We all return to the source
(Oooh and I miss you)
And even though I know you're dead
I still need your support
(Oooh and I miss you)
I've got a feeling that she knows
She'll never be alone
Her spirit's all around us
Even if she can't come home
Ooooh and I miss you
Ooooh and I miss you
Oooooh Nicandra
Oooh Nicandra

Oh Amy
Our hearts keep breaking all the time
relentlessly confined
Although, Amy
When we dance you save me
and say everything will be okay
And Oh Amelia Please
Oh Amelia Please
Oh Amelia Please
We met awhile ago
You know how it went
We had a lot of tears back then
But I learned something
That when I was feeling low and blue
You picked me up and you grabbed my shoes
and said "Baby, it'll be okay again"
And Oh Amelia Please
Oh Amelia Please
Oh Amelia Please
Oh Amy
In dreams I'm waiting for things
To fall and slip away
And though they may,
Everyday I've loved you I pray
We'll both turn out okay
And Oh Amelia Please
Oh Amelia Please
Oh Amelia Please

Each morning I wake up and have a smoke
Feed my shopping addiction then remember I’m broke
Jump in the shower then it’s all downhill
Another stupid day for a quota to fill
And I pray I don’t wake up
Just hit me with your truck
And I always manage to lose something
Yesterday my phone and today my keys
Work another new job seething through my teeth
Get a little bit of cancer from the California heat
Each day I’m half asleep
At night the thoughts repeat
You’re a loser, an idiot, a worn out whore
People wouldn’t buy you at a discount store
All your friends have been lying to you
And they’re secretly replacing you with somebody new
Your dreams won’t come true
And no one believes in you
Oh yeah
That’s right
Uh huh
That’s right
Babe I’m like Van Gogh
I’ll die before
You know
My name
And you know I probably can’t have any kids
cause estradiol killed all my testicle squids
So these stupid little songs I made in my head
Will be all that’s left when I've joined the dead
And I’m hoping after that day
When I’m gone some people can say
"Hey this girl she had some pretty good tunes
I really like that album calling all balloons
it’s a shame that we never got see her live
Cause she developed diabetes and she probably died"
And I try to mentally prepare
To die in financial despair
While I stare in awe at my artistic friends
And watch as their careers slowly start to ascend
And They’re making connections all over L.A.
With a confidence I couldn’t even try to convey
In the land of milk and honey
I’m allergic to making money
Oh yeah
That’s right
Uh huh
That’s right
Babe I’m like Van Gogh
I’ll die before
You know
My name

Sirens

Hear her heartbeat slowly
(Sirens sirens)
Her hair pours down like honey
(Sirens sirens)
Now I’m lost in a fantasy
Of a love that cannot be
It’s drowning me
Darling in the end we die alone
But I need you by my side until I go
Now it ain’t much but for what it’s worth
You made me feel less lonely here on earth
I still remember getting stoned that night
Coming out in your car under the moonlight
Though I try to resist it I will always fall
For your beautifully violent sirens call
Though I try to resist it I will always fall
For your beautifully violent sirens song
Lost in silent admiration
(Sirens sirens)
Sabotaging salvation
(Sirens sirens)
Only sailors know
Underwater, undertow
There are no, no, no, no heroes

Alien Girl
02:24

Like a long forgotten letter
Or ashes dissolved at sea
I was born to be invisible
No roots support my tree
When your abandon by a history
That’s been destined to repeat
For a million others like me
We’re our family’s blackest sheep
Cause I’m an alien girl
Drifting through this overwhelming world
Oooh
I‘ve wandered through the years
And I’ve met folks I hold dear
But when I think of you
Mother I remember I’m alone
I am a ghost
And although it’s unlikely
Our paths could cross again
And you’d have a weird new daughter
And I’d have a disappointed friend
But I worry you wouldn’t want that
For you those wounds have healed
So the letters that I wrote to you
Will remain forever sealed
Cause I’m your alien girl
Isolated on this crowded world
Ooooh

Talk To Me
04:02

Ooh Oh it’s been three years
We’re slowly moving on
But I still hold back tears
For the way I let things end
I wanna tell you all about
The stupid dream
That I had last night
I was working overtime
Thought I heard
Your voice call my name
And I don’t even remember why
I was angry and didn’t reply
When you said your last goodbye
And I love you
So won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
Won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
Won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
Won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
And let me say goodbye
Cause I can’t describe this pain
It’s driving me insane
Ooh run, run away, run away little deer
Dash to the edges of the final frontier
What’s coursing through your veins
Counteracts the fear
And you’ll need a lot more
To survive in here
Looming through the shadows
Something’s fading to black
A mysterious figure
Following your tracks
And it’s only a matter of time
Look i’m at a loss for words
And I’m haunted when the thought
That you hate me reoccurs
So i replay our last talk
And I don’t even remember why
I was angry and didn’t reply
When you said your last goodbye
And I love you
So won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
Won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
Won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
Won’t you talk to me
(Won’t you talk to me)
And let me say goodbye
Cause I can’t describe this pain
It’s ruining my day
And my therapist says it’s fine
But I’m losing my fucking mind
Oh Nici won’t you send me a sign
And
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me

Wait!
02:02
|

There ain’t a thing
I can say
to make
you wanna stay
except i’m here
and if you wait
you will die
anyway
Nothing matters
either way
so wait
Your hand’s been dealt
this game moves fast
don’t spend so long
stuck in your past
you’re feeling dumb
guess what, you're wrong
just breathe and hum
this little song
Nothing matters
either way
so wait
(everything matters or nothing really maters)
so wait
(everything matters or nothing really maters)
so wait
(everything matters or nothing really maters)
so wait

I don’t wanna leave you
But I can’t stay
I don’t wanna leave you
But I can’t stay
And I try in
my own way
To be brave
But I fall
Under the weight
of yesterday
I don’t wanna lose you
But I can’t let go
I don’t wanna lose you
But I can’t let go
As the anchors
of The past
Drown us both
And the angered
Ocean waves
Sink our boat
I can’t wait to see you
When my time comes
I can’t wait to see you
When my time comes
I wanna reincarnate
With a rewired brain
One a little less suicidal
Would be great
It’s always there
The call of the void
That siren’s song
That leads you in
And the abyss begins
Surrounding you
And everyone that you knew
When the darkness feels bright
You can’t see the light
And it’s not fair
(When the darkness feels bright)
It’s not fair
(You can’t see the light)
That she’s there alone
Goodbye
