A girl I once loved was skating outside my doors And when she fell I ran, I held her inside my arms And she said, "who are you with?" I said, "I don't know who I am" And then she disintegrated right out from my hand And I said Ed was talking, he was talking all day And drinking Coca-Cola outside of Burger King And he said, "Coke is the best, And you are the worst, And love is only true when it is something that hurts" And I said I was smoking weed with a buddy named Ben He used to buy me beer, but now I buy it for him His house was rotting, It was falling apart But sometimes something dirty is the nearest to your heart And I said Sitting here right now, I wonder what it all could mean All of these people and all of these scenes Perhaps the answer is that, Despite all the strife All we do is play a role in someone else's life And I said Fall is coming, as it does each year Summer's last stand whispers softly in my ear I think of a love, Who has thrown me away And I still miss her more each and every day Since she said Kirk was smiling, his teeth stained with wine He asked me to introduce him to a friend of mine They hit it off, but soon he tapped me on the shoulder Saying, "I've drained this bottle And I'm back for another" And I said A friend of a friend, who I don't like too much He grabbed onto me and he cried at my touch He said, "I feel the loneliness In my existence And I feel the emptiness in my resistance" And I said Sitting here right now...

It turns out the maiden was a monster And maybe I shouldn't have loved her But it turns out the maiden was a monster And I gave all of my love to her And it turns out... turns out the maiden was a monster I don't want to look But I can't see And the lack of option It is killing me 'Cause it turns out the maiden was a monster And I gave all of my love to her And it turns out... turns out the maiden was a monster

I'm looking down at people Each one passing me by It's as if no one cares But then who the hell am I? I've read in all your holy books That someone takes the lead Someone fights the battle While another succumbs to greed But I feel like that leaves out People like me and her Confusion's not an adjective But it's the closest word And beauty's not the same Without her by my side But the view still is pretty I'll take it all in stride I'm looking down at people For my friends who were coming today Maybe they've found something better They all have gone away So I'm staring at my hand Where there once lay a golden fist But now that fist has dissipated Into a lonely mist And I'm left alone Yeah, I'm the only one And a beauty seen in solitude Is a beauty seen by none And I can't take a picture Of this knowing in my head So all these beautiful thoughts They'll all die when I am dead

(Purple Bottle by Animal Collective) I've got a big, big, big, big heartbeat, yeah I think you are the sweetest thing I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud I've been having good days Think we are the right age To start out own peculiar ways With good friendly homes You get me freaked, freaked, freaked on preakness Never met a girl that likes to drink with horses Knows her Chinese ballet Must admit you smell like fruity nuts and good grains When you show my purple gaze A thing or two at night Make me sick, sick, sick to kiss you And I think that I woud vomit But I'll do that on Mondays, I don't have a work way I like it when I bump you an accident's a truth gate I'm humbled in your pretty lens I'll hold you, don't you go Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet, hallelujah! Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative, I know Well I'd like to spread your perfume around the old apartment Could we live together and agree on the same wares? A trapeze is a bird cage even if it's empty and defintintely fits the room And we would too And my dear, dear, dear Khalana I talk too much about you Their ears are getting tired of me singing all the night through Lets just talk together You and me and me and you And if there's nothing much to say Well, silence is a bore I've got a big, big, big, big heartbeat, yeah I think you are the sweetest thing I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud I've been having good days Think we are the right age To start out own peculiar ways With good friendly homes Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet, hallelujah! Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative i know Sometimes you hear me when others they can't hear me, hallelujah! Sometimes I'm naked, and thank god sometimes you're naked Well, hello . . . Can I tell you that you are the purple in me? Can I call you just to hear you, would you care? When I saw you put your purple finger on me There's a feeling in your bottle Found your bottle, found your heart Gives a feeling from your bottled little part I just called to say I like you I just called cause I've wondered how you've been I just called, well I tried, but it was busy Get that feeling from the bottle, found the bottle found your heart Get that feeling from your bottled little part Got to crush high Thought I crushed all I could Crushed all I can then I touched your hand Crush high Don't want it to stop Because stories of your brother Make my crush high pop And you couldn't really know Because it's in my toes And sometimes I wonder Where'd that crush high go Crush high then I go and take some pills Because I can't do all of my do's and still feel ill I got that (Lullaby by Blind the Thief) Didn't you tell me all this was theirs too? Even if vision blurs and presence turns crude And wanting to break free from their love We took a brush to the back of the sun As we scrubbed and laughed you showed me the heart that they had When things get strange, I often think of that Now you feel out of place in your body, in your mind I can tell you what it means to break through to the other side You will find that in truth, to be human is to be sane But sanity is always in search of a higher plane

I feel so incomplete With all these caring faces in retreat And now I've forgotten how to turn these tears to ink So I'll drink another beer and then I'll fall asleep If the water wasn't murky I'd be afraid to swim 'Cause it's what you see that does you in And now I've forgotten why I shave my face So I'll stare into the mirror envisioning happy days All the gods in their heavenly thrones They all sing me songs that don't use tones And now I've forgotten the right way to pray So I'll sit here real quiet 'till God has something to say

I had seven faces Never knew which one to wear And I'm sick of spending these lonely nights Straining myself not to care Subway she is a porno And the pavements they are a mess I know you've supported me for a long time Somehow I'm not impressed New York cares It is up to me now Turn on the bright lights
