This Part of Town

I never could see past your mace
The spotlight was a curse in the corner of your purse
But I reckon your face is a weapon
That’s right
You harlettes never knew
You just walk along in a poor man’s pair of shoes
But nothing gets to me
I won’t hear your plea
I rarely saw you faking that that hand of yours was taken
In this part of town
Did you remember to pick up the kids?
Do they even remember you?
I remember an even fight between the boys in the yard outside the school
Nothing gets to me
I won’t hear your plea
I rarely saw you faking that that hand of yours was taken
In this part of town

Now now my darling
Your charm didn’t go unnoticed
Your time in the spotlight was well deserved
And we caught it on film, so it’s well preserved
Don’t be so surprised if you never found refuge while baking in the sun
Exercise your mind if you feel so inclined, but it won’t reach anyone
Let’s divy up the tempo and see if you’ll turn green
The bones on your plate are your self esteem and the chicken in your mouth is a tad too lean

Is it picking you up?
Or is it dragging you down?
Or could it be your apathy
You're flaunting as a crown?
For all of your autonomy
You only ever watch TV
I shake to think of who you'd be
If you would ever move
But something's sitting in your soul
Illusion that you're in control
Always something you've got to prove,
But I don't think you'll ever move
You'll regret and won't forget the time you chose to kill
You'll sit and wait and celebrate the failure of your will
But you know you've never even seen
Life beyond the edges of your screen
I shudder to think of
Who you'd be
If you'd ever move
But you'll never move

Eat Cake

Take a little time, as much as you need
Lower your head when it’s time to feed
Take a little time, as much as you please
For yourself
Can you spare a dime, that’s all I need
Higher bills are fine, I misplaced your greed
Did I cross a line, though thin it may be
For yourslelf
Your charity is blind to my mistakes
Disparity means letting them eat cake
So take a little time, as much as you need
Lower your head when it’s time to feed
Take a little time, as much as you please
For yourself
Your charity is blind to my mistakes
Disparity means letting them eat cake
When I found you, you were dragging along
Barely hanging on
Barely hanging on
Your charity is blind to my mistakes
Disparity means letting them eat cake

Like a Man
02:41

Born with the feeling you had the upper hand
Antiquated etiquette would deem you “strong like man”
Impervious and perfect as the stream from which you pee
El baño no está aquí, ve caca por allí
Pull your hair out from the roots
And muddy up your boots
You think that you’re wanted here
But they’re dreading when you appear
The man above endowed you with sight lines past the peaks
Of mountaintops that tremble when your lips diverge to speak
It’s an oyster of a world and you’re deserving of the pearl
Luckily you know not to throw it like a girl
Pull your hair out from the roots
And muddy up your boots
You think that you’re wanted here
But they’re dreading when you appear

Seas part too soon
Tides by the moon
Suffocate and see
Or take the bait and flee
Either is a boon
A howling wind was wearing thin the treason by her guest
The death decreed will spur the sea to lay her man to rest
Don’t count on Eve
She’ll fall, you’ll grieve
And the passing of a Saint inspires scratching off the paint
Too good to believe
A howling wind was wearing thin the treason by her guest
The death decreed will spur the sea to lay her man to rest
Criss-cross beams and stubborn seams scream as they bend
Will crack in time and brand the sign of mankind’s ending
An echoed cry sings of a world anew
