    letra de 21 Things I Want In A Lover

    Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
    Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
    Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
    That it alone does not equate wisdom?
    Do you see everything as an illusion?
    But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
    Are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
    And don't believe in capital punishment?
    These are 21 things that I want in a lover
    Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
    Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
    Loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you funny?
    la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many formed opinions?
    These are 21 things that I want in a lover
    Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
    I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
    These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover
    I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
    I'm in no rush 'cause I like being solo
    There are no worries and certainly no pressure in the meantime
    I'll live like there's no tomorrow
    Are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week?
    Up for being experimental? are you athletic?
    Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are you not addicted?
    ...curious and communicative...

    letra de Narcissus

    Dear momma's boy I know you've had your butt licked by your mother
    I know you've enjoyed all that attention from her
    And every woman graced with your presence after
    Dear narcissus boy I know you've never really apologized for anything
    I know you've never really taken responsibility
    I know you've never really listened to a woman
    Dear me-show boy I know you're not really into conflict resolution
    Or seeing both sides of every equation
    Or having an uninterrupted conversation
    And any talk of healthiness
    And any talk of connectedness
    And any talk of resolving this
    Leaves you running for the door
    (why why do I try to love you
    Try to love you when you really don't want me
    To)
    Dear egotist boy you've never really had to suffer any consequence
    You've never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes
    You'd never understand anyone showing resistance
    Dear popular boy I know you're used to getting everything so easily
    A stranger to the concept of reciprocity
    People honor boys like you in this society
    And any talk of selflessness
    And any talk of working at this
    And any talk of being of service
    Leaves you running for the door
    (why why do I try to help you try to help you
    When you really don't want me to)
    You go back to the women who will dance the dance
    You go back to your friends who will lick your ass
    You go back to ignoring all the rest of us
    You go back to the center of your universe
    Dear self centered boy I don't know why I still feel affected by you
    I've never lasted very long with someone like you
    I never did although I have to admit I wanted to
    Dear magnetic boy you've never been with anyone who doesn't take your shit
    You've never been with anyone who's dared to call you on it
    I wonder how you'd be if someone were to call you on it
    And any talk of willingness
    And any talk of both feet in
    And any talk of commitment
    Leaves you running for the door
    (why why do I try to change you try to
    Try to change you when you really don't
    Want me to)
    You go back to the women who will dance the dance
    You go back to your friends who will lick your ass
    You go back to being so oblivious
    You go back to the center of the universe

    letra de Hands Clean

    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

  4. FlinchVer letra 6:04

    [X]

    letra de Flinch

    What's it been over a decade?
    It still smarts like it was four minutes ago
    We only influenced each other totally
    We only bruised each other even more so
    What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood
    What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad
    How long can a girl be shackled to you
    How long before my dignity is reclaimed
    How long can a girl stay haunted by you
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
    Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city
    My brother saw you somewhere downtown
    I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you
    My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again
    What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god
    What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin
    How long can a girl be tortured by you?
    How long before my dignity is reclaimed
    And how long can a girl be haunted by you
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
    So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing
    A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in
    This man knows not of how this information has affected me
    But he knows the color of the car I just drove away in
    What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin
    What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air

  5. So UnsexyVer letra 5:09

    [X]

    letra de So Unsexy

    Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly
    One small sideways look and I feel so ungood
    Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make
    Me feel the way I thought only my father could
    Oh these little rejections how they seem so real to me
    One forgotten birthday I'm all but cooked
    How these little abandonment's seem to sting so easily
    I'm 13 again am I 13 for good?
    I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
    So unloved for someone so fine
    I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
    So ignorant for someone of sound mind
    Oh these little protections how they fail to serve me
    One forgotten phone call and I'm deflated
    Oh these little defenses how they fail to comfort me
    Your hand pulling away and I'm devastated
    When will you stop leaving baby?
    When will I stop deserting baby?
    When will I start staying with myself?
    Oh these little projections how they keep springing from me
    I jump my ship as I take it personally
    Oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly
    The moment I decide not to abandon me

    letra de Precious Illusions

    You'll rescue me right?
    In the exact same way they never did,
    I'll be happy right?
    When your healing powers kick in
    You'll complete me right?
    Then my life can finally begin
    I'll be worthy right?
    Only when you realize the gem I am?
    But this won't work now the way it once did
    And I won't keep it up even though I would love to
    Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am
    But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
    These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
    When I was defenseless
    And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
    This ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
    This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water
    But this won't work as well as the way it once did
    'cause I want to decide between survival and bliss
    And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
    But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
    These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid
    And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
    I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
    I've spent so much time living in survival mode

    letra de That Particular Time

    My foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
    My departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
    At that particular time love had challenged me to stay
    At that particular moment I knew not run away again
    That particular month I was ready to investigate with you
    At that particular time
    We thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated
    We thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding
    At that particular time love encouraged me to wait
    At that particular moment it helped me to be patient
    That particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant
    I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
    And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
    And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
    And in the meantime I lost myself
    In the meantime I lost myself
    I'm sorry I lost myself, I am
    You knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
    You felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
    At that particular love encouraged me to leave
    At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
    That particular month was harder than you'd believe but I still left
    At that particular time

  8. A ManVer letra 4:33

    [X]

    letra de A Man

    I am a man as a man i´ve been told
    Bacon is brought to the house in this mold
    Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord
    Years I have groveled repentance ignored
    And I have been blamed
    And I have been repented
    I'm working my way toward our union mended
    I am a man who has grown from a son
    Been crucified by enraged women
    I am a son who was raised by such men
    I'm often reminded of the fools i´m among
    And I have been shamed
    And I have relented
    I'm working my way toward our union mended
    And I have been shamed
    And I have repented
    I'm working my way toward our union mended
    We don't fare well with endless reprimands
    We don't do well with a life served as a sentence
    This won't work well if you´re hell bent on your offense
    I am a man who understands your reticence
    I am a man who still does what he can
    To dispel our archaic reputation
    I am a man who has heard all he can
    Cause I don't fare well with endless punishment
    Cause I have been blamed and I have repented
    I'm working my way toward our union mended
    And we have been blamed and we have repented
    I'm working my way toward our union mended

  9. You Owe Me Nothing in ReturnVer letra 4:58

    letra de You Owe Me Nothing in Return

    I'll give you careless amounts of out right
    Acceptance if you want it. I'll give you
    Encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it.
    You can speak of anger and doubts,
    Your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it.
    You can share your so-called
    Shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it.
    And there are no strings attached,
    You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.
    You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.
    I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege,
    And you owe me nothing in return.
    You can ask for space for yourself
    And only yourself and I'll grant it.
    You can ask for freedom as well
    Or time to travel and you'll have it.
    You can ask to live by yourself
    Or love someone else and I'll support it.
    You can ask for anything you want
    Anything at all and I'll understand it.
    I bet you're wondering when
    The next payback shoe will eventually drop.
    I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up.
    I bet you're wondering how far you have now danced your way back into dead.
    This is the only kind of love
    As I understand it that there really is.
    You can express your deepest of truths
    Even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it.
    You can fall into the abyss
    On the way to your bliss
    And I'll empathize with.
    You can say that you'll have to skip town
    To chase your passion and I'll hear it.
    You can even hit rock bottom, have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it.

  10. SurrenderingVer letra 4:36

    [X]

    letra de Surrendering

    You were full and fully capable
    You were self sufficient and needless
    Your house was fully decorated in that sense
    You were taken with me to a point
    A case of careful what you wish for
    But what you knew was enough to begin
    And so you called and courted fiercely
    So you reached out, entirely fearless
    And yet you knew of reservation and how it serves
    And I salute you for your courage
    And I applaud your perseverance
    And I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces
    That I represent
    So you were in but not entirely
    You were up for this but not totally
    You knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt
    And so you fell and you're intact
    So you dove in and you're still breathing
    So you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked
    And I support you in your trusting
    And I commend you for your wisdom
    And I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces
    That I represent
    You found creative ways to distance
    You hid away from much through humor
    Your choice of armor was your intellect
    And so you felt and you're still here
    And so you died and you're still standing
    And so you softened and you're still safely in command
    Self protection was in times of true danger
    Your best defense to mistrust and be wary
    Surrendering a feat of unequaled measure
    And I'm thrilled to let you in
    Overjoyed to be let in in kind

  11. UtopiaVer letra 4:58

    [X]

    letra de Utopia

    We'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
    We'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgment
    We would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
    Enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
    Open and reach out and speak up
    This is utopia this is my utopia
    This is my ideal my end in sight
    Utopia this is my utopia
    This is my nirvana
    My ultimate
    We'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets
    We would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
    Invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
    Be gentle and make room for every emotion
    We'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen
    We'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
    And be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
    Release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
    This is utopia this is my utopia
    This is my ideal my end in sight
    Utopia this is my utopia
    This is my nirvana
    My ultimate
