1. Thank You

   Letra

   How about getting off of these antibiotics How about stopping eating when I'm filled up How about them transparent dangling carrots How about that ever elusive kudo [Chorus] Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence How about me not blaming you for everything How about me enjoying the moment for once How about how good it feels to finally forgive you How about grieving it all one at a time [Chorus] The moment I let go of it was The moment I got more than I could handle The moment I jumped off of it was The moment I touched down How about no longer being masochistic How about remembering your divinity How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out How about not equating death with stopping [Chorus]
2. Head Over Feet

   Letra

   I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it You treat me like I'm a princess I'm not used to liking that You ask how my day was You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You're so much braver than I gave you credit for That's not lip service You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience You're the best listener that I've ever met You're my best friend Best friend with benefits What took me so long I've never felt this healthy before I've never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault I couldn't help it It's all your fault
3. 8 Easy Steps

   Letra

   How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment How to defer to men in solvable predicaments How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you How to have that not work and have them run away from you How to keep people at arms-length and never get too close How to mistrust the ones you supposedly love the most How to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone How to feel worthless unless you're serving or helping someone [Chorus] I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps In the course of a lifetime, you'll never forget I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best How to hate women when you're supposed to be a feminist How to play all biased when you're really a hypocrite How to hate God when you're a prayer and a spiritualist How to sabotage your fantasies by fear of success [Chorus] I've been doing research for years I've been practicing my ass off I've been training my whole life for this moment, I swear to you Culminating just to be this well-versed leader before you [Chorus] How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself How to know them all too well to avoid going within How to stay stuck in your life blaming them for everything [Chorus: x2]

5. Crazy

   Letra

   In a church, by the face, He talks about the people going under. Only child know A man decides after seventy years, That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door. While those around him criticize and sleep And through a fractal on a breaking wall, I see you, my friend, and touch your face again. Miracles will happen as we trip. But we're never gonna survive, unless We get a little crazy No we're never gonna survive, unless We are a little Crazy yellow people walking through my head. One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one. And yet together they were friends at school Oh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no! If all were there when we first took the pill, Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe Miracles will happen as we speak. But we're never gonna survive unless We get a little crazy. No we're never gonna survive unless We are a little Crazy No no, never survive, unless we get a little bit In a sky full of people, only some want to fly, Isn't that crazy? In a world full of people, only some want to fly, Isn't that crazy? Crazy In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly, Ain't that crazy? Oh babe Oh darlin' In a world full of people there's only some want to fly, Ain't that crazy? Crazy crazy crazy Oh But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy No we're never gonna to survive unless, we are a little crazy No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit And then you see things The size of which you've never known before They'll break it Someday Only child know. Them things The size of which you've never known before Someday Someway
6. Hands Clean

   Letra

   If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much Ooh this could be messy But you don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it Ooh this could be messy You don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody Overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us I've more than honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget? What with this distance it seems so obvious? Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse I wish I could tell the world 'cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body Ooh this could get messy Ooh you don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this Ooh this could get messy Ooh I don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this

9. Simple Together

   Letra

   You've been my golden best friend Now with post - demise at hand Can't go to you for consolation 'Cause we're off limits during this transition This grief overwhelms me It burns in my stomach And I can't stop bumping into things I thought we'd be simple together I thought we'd be happy together Thought we'd be limitless together I thought we'd be precious together But I was sadly mistaken You've been my soulmate and mentor I remembered you the moment I met you With you I knew god's face was handsome With you I suffered an expansion This loss is numbing me It pierces my chest And I can't stop dropping everything I thought we'd be sexy together Thought we'd be evolving together I thought we'd have children together I thought we'd be family together But I was sadly mistaken If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air My wealth would render this no less severe I thought we'd be genius together I thought we'd be healing together I thought we'd be growing together Thought we'd be adventurous together But I was sadly mistaken Thought we'd be exploring together Thought we'd be inspired together I thought we'd be flying together Thought we'd be on fire together But I was sadly mistaken
10. You Oughta Know

    Letra

    I want you to know, that I am happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theater? Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby? I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother 'Cause the love that you gave that we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you To be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me You'd hold me until you died 'Til you died, but you're still alive And I'm here, to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair, to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well, things look peaceful I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity? I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face How quickly I was replaced And are you thinking of me when you fuck her? 'Cause the love that you gave that we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you To be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me You'd hold me until you died 'Til you died, but you're still alive And I'm here, to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair, to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know 'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed That was me and I'm not gonna fade As soon as you close your eyes, and you know it And every time I scratch my nails Down someone else's back I hope you feel it Well, can you feel it? And I'm here, to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair, to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know
11. That I Would Be Good

    Letra

    That I would be good even if I did nothing That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down That I would be good if I got and stayed sick That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth That I would be great if I was no longer queen That I would be grand if I was not all knowing That I would be loved even when I numb myself That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed That I would be loved even when I was fuming That I would be good even if I was clingy That I would be good even if I lost sanity That I would be good Whether with or without you
12. Sister Blister

    Letra

    You and me we're cut from the same cloth It seems to some we famously get along But you and me are strangers to each other 'Cause you and me: competitive to the bone Such tragedy to trample on each other with how much we've endured With the state this land is in You and me feel joined by only gender We are not all for one and one for all Sister blister we fight to please the brothers We think their acceptance is how we win They're happy we're climbing over each other To beg the club of boys to let us in You and me estranged from the mother You and me have felt impotent in our skin You and me have taken it out on each other You and me disloyal to the feminine Such a pity to disavow each other with how far we've come With how strong we've been You and me are on this pendulum together You and me with scarcity still fueling Sister blister we fight to please the brothers We think their acceptance is how we win They're happy we're climbing over each other To beg the club of boys to let us in We may not have priorities same We may not even like each other We may not be hugely anti-men But such a cost to dishonor a sister You and me have made it harder for the other We forget how hard separatism has been You and me we can help change their minds together You and me in alignment until the end Sister blister we fight to please the brothers We think their acceptance is how we win They're happy we're climbing over each other To beg the club of boys to let us in

14. Mercy

    Letra

    We have slaughtered In the garden of beauty Digging graves instead of planting Mercy for the crucified A bitter justice Begging eternity for love We're nothing We're everything I am nothing Yet I am everybody We're nothing And yet we are Wisdom lights up life's road I know you
15. Still

    Letra

    I am the harm which you inflict I am your brilliance and frustration I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit I am your immaturity and your indignance I am your misfits and your praises I am your doubt and your conviction I am your charity and your rape I am your grasping and expectation I see you averting your glances I see you cheering on the war I see you ignoring your children And I love you still And I love you still I am your joy and your regret I am your fury and your elation I am your yearning and your sweat I am your faithless and your religion I see you altering history I see you abusing the land I see you and your selective amnesia And I love you still And I love you still I am your tragedy and your fortune I am your crisis and delight I am your profits and your prophets I am your art I am your bytes I am your death and your decisions I am your passion and your plights I am your sickness and convalescence I am your weapons and your light I see you holding your grudges I see you gunning them down I see you silencing your sisters And I love you still And I love you still I see you lie to your country I see you forcing them out I see you blaming each other And I love you still And I love you still
16. Uninvited

    Letra

    Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot-blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepard meet shepard But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight I don't think you unworthy I need a moment to deliberate.
