Sever ties with ungiving
Sever ties with ungiving
Spread your love beyond its means
So I might die
Feed me fruit as the fires burn
So you can cry
And I'll caramelize your tears
And we'll crystalize our fear
Lover hurry home from jobs
So we can sit
And sink our teeth
Through crusts of bread
Into the marrow
Sever ties with ungiving
Sever ties with ungiving
Share our worries at the table
Round as the moon
And fruitful as a womb
Isn't it funny, these words don't bring us money
But the carry us through
Our doubts deep blue
Sever ties with ungiving
Sever ties with ungiving
Best to bed now
Warm in the red light
This place is forgiving

Here’s your avenue
Make it about you
I could take it
As long as your put me
On a pedestal
Come step up to me
Tell me what you see
Hundred acre stare
Unsettle you right where
You’re standing there
I never know
When I’ve gone too
Far for you darling
I feel like a
Child for your love
Temperamental
Write me a letter
On paper that falls apart
Just like a tender heart
Write me a tune about
Everything that you burn
Turn it around for me
I’ll sit still
Simple now it seems
I play dilettante to the dream
I’ll hold down the fort
And you can find your line
Walk it just for sport
Clear things up for me
Simple measure is all we need
You’ll go home and I’ll
Learn to love you from
Afar where I’m alone
I never know
When I’ve gone too
Far for you darling
I feel like a
Child for your love
Temperamental
Write me a letter
On paper that falls apart
Just like a tender heart
Write me a tune about
Everything that you burn
Turn it around for me
I’ll sit still
I’ll sit still
Simple now it seems
I play dilettante to the dream
I’ll hold down the fort
And you can find your line
Walk it just for sport

Sit, turn your back
It’s not so black and white
So wrong or right
Nothing really matters now
Nothing really matters now
So, swing up on your heart’s desire
Perch up here and watch the fire from above
Cause we’re all burning love
We’re all burning love
Kiss all cute lips
I’ve waited all my life for this
Simple love with simple men
Holding hands with my old friends
My old friends
So, swing up on your heart’s desire
Perch up here and watch the fire from above
Cause we’re all burning love
We’re all burning love
Burn through your cash
I heard they’ll take your trash
And turn it into
Multi-colored bags
They’re beautiful
I’m glad
So, swing up on your heart’s desire
Perch up here and watch the fire from above
Cause we’re all burning love
We’re all burning love
We’re all burning love

Birthday Baby

It’s your birthday baby
And the world’s not right
Feel free to cry about it now
It’s your party tonight
It’s your party
It’s your birthday baby
So see god in yourself
Tears are holy water
Bottle them and put them on the shelf
For your darkest day
For your darkest day
Forget the score now
Precious, take your bow
Today your demons
Are sleeping
It’s their birthday too
This day here’s for you my love
Fill it with your things
Its edges mold to fit around
Only what you bring
Only what you bring
Laid inside your secret box
Baby teeth and letters from someone you lost
Laid inside your wooden chest
A ball of white yarn that your auntie had left
Lay your whole day right inside
Lay your whole day right inside
Forget the score now
Precious, take your bow
Today your demons
Are sleeping
It’s their birthday too
It’s your birthday baby
And it’s ok to hurt
Burn the edges slowly
This page is nearly turned
I falter while I write these words
I still feel very small
Years move on and I feel still
I know nothing at all
I really know it all
I’ve lost it once again
I know just what I need
To be your darling friend
To be your darling friend

Tell me what’s
On your mind
I’ll say it back
Make you feel right
In sybillant rhyme
I’ll crackle the fine
Hairs on your neck
Blow by blow
I’ll show you my fight
Fight and my check
Fight and my check
Fight and fight and
Fight
Severe in its simple retreat
Baby tell me when we can next meet
I’ll follow you now
We’ll measure the down
On your bed
Lay down
Lay down on your bed
Down on your bed
Down on your bed
Down on your bed
Down on down on
Down
I’m down
To wait for you here
Maybe cover my eyes and pretend that you’re angry my dear
For nothing
Spells my love
Like thinking of
Your bite
And counting the marks on my arm

This album can--and should--be revisited in aeternum, and Posing for Cars should be incentive enough to ensure you do. The pacing and build of the track pulls you in, and the three minute outro sweeps you away.
