Every time you raise your voice I see the greener grass Every time you run for cover I see this pasture Every time we're in a funk I picture a different choice Every time we're in a rut This distant grandeur My tendency to want to do away feels natural My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable The only way out is through The faster we're in the better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The only way we'll feel better The only way out is through ultimately Every time I'm confused I think there must be easier ways Every time our horns are locked on toweling throwing Every time we're at a loss, we've bolted from difficulty Anytime we're still made of final bowing My tendency to want to hide away feels easier and The tendency is picturing another place comforting to go The only way out is through The faster we're in the better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The only way we'll feel better The only way out is through ultimately We could just walk away and hide our heads in the sand We could just call it quits, only to start all over again With somebody else Every time we're stuck in struggle, I'm down for the count that day Every time I dream of quick fix I'm swaged Now I know it's hard when it's through And I'm damned if I don't know quick fix way But formerly mistreat me silence now outdated My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now The urgency to want to give to you what I want most feels good The only way out is through The faster we're in the better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The only way we'll feel better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The faster we're in the better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The only way we'll feel better The only way out is through ultimately |

Why no one will help me I am too dumb I am too smart They'll not understand me I am lonely They'll hate me And there is not enough time It's too hard to help me And god wants me to work No resting no lazy These excuses how they served me so well They've kept me safe They've kept me stuck They've kept me locked in my own cell I'm too far from home It takes far too much energy And I cannot afford to No one will ever see me These excuses how they served me so well They've kept me safe They've kept me stuck They've kept me locked in my own cell These excuses how they're so familiar They've kept me blocked They've kept me small They've kept me safe inside my shell Bringing this into the light Shakes their foundation And it clears my side Now my imagination Is the only thing that limits The bar that is raised to the heights No one can have it all see I have to they want me to And I can't let them down I'll never be happy These excuses how they served me so well They've kept me safe They’ve kept me stuck They’ve kept me locked in my own cell These excuses how they're so familiar They've kept me blocked They've kept me small They've kept me safe inside my shell Hoo~ |

we share a culture same vernacular love of physical humor and time spent alone you with your penchant for spontaneous events for sticky and raspy, unearthed and then gone you are a gift promised sent with a wink with tendencies for conversations that raise bars you are a sage who is fueled by compassion comes to nooks and crannies, is bound for all stars you make the knees of my bees weak, tremble and buckle you make the knees of my bees weak you are a spirit that knows of no limit that knows of no ceiling who baulks at dead-ends you are a wordsmith who cares for his brothers not seduced by illusions of fair-weather friends you make the knees of my bees weak, tremble and buckle you make the knees of my bees weak you are a vision who lives by the signals of stomach and intuition as your guide you are a sliver of god on a platter who walks what he talks and who cops when he’s lied you make the knees of my bees weak, tremble and buckle you make the knees of my bees weak you make the knees of my bees weak, tremble and buckle you make the knees of my bees weak |

I rather face all on top of my face I am the perfect target screen For your blindly fueled rage I bare the brunt of your long buried pain I don't mind helping you out But I want you to remember my name It's not all me It's not all my fault I need remind you, but I won't take it all on Past riddled rage I see the buttons I engage Is my dignity in place? I'm all too happy to switch It's not all me It's not all my fault I need remind you, but I won't take it all on Lest I find my voice Find the strength to stand up to you Lest I stay to my limit And only take on what is mine to We are a team I'm here to help mend and rescind All I trigger unknowingly A job I hold in high esteem It's not all me It's not all my fault I need remind you, but I won't take it all on It's not all me It's not all my fault I need remind you, but I won't take it all on I'll only take some of it |

Fourteen years thirty minutes fifteen seconds I've held this grudge Eleven songs four full journals thoughts of punishment I've expended Not in contact not a letter such communication telepathic you've been vilified used as fodder you deserve a piece of every record But who's it hurting now? Who's the one that's stuck? Who's it torturing now with an antique knot in her stomach? I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old all this time I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us Like an abandoned house dusty covered furniture still intact If I visit it now will I simply re-live it somehow gratuitous But who's still aching now? Who's tired of her own voice? Who is it weighing down With no gift from time of said healing I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old all this time I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us Maybe as I cut the cord veils will lift from my eyes Maybe as I lay this to rest dead weight off my shoulders will rise Here I sit much determined ever ill-equipped to draw this curtain how this has entertained validated and has served me well ever the victim But who's done whining now? Who's ready to put down this load I've carried longer than I had cared to remember I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old For the life of me I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old For the life of me I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us |

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind I can withhold like it's going out of style I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone who is as negative as I am sometimes I am the wisest woman you've ever met I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen And you've never met anyone Who's as positive as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here I blame everyone else, not my own partaking My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating I'm terrified and mistrusting And you've never met anyone as As closed down as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go I'm the funniest woman that you've ever known I am the dullest woman that you've ever known I'm the most gorgeous that woman you've ever known And you've never met anyone as, as everything as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here |
