More Than Toast
Is it efficient or does it kill
with the skill of a cluster bomb?
it'll take time but you know it will
if I happen to live that long
if you would listen to me
things wouldn't seem so gloomy
now you keep jamming up the gears
and I can't see through the smears
and everything's exactly as it appears
more I love you more I love you more
than I did before
but now it's either or
or neither nor
and when I think about you
I start turning green
and it shakes me up inside
cause it used to be the color of your eyes
everywhere I go I see your ghost
the spirit of '91
you said you loved me more than toast
but less than a staplegun
is this the wrong direction?
that's such a stupid question
now when you make a sacrifice
you're supposed to get a wish
why does this only work in theory
not practice?
more I love you more I love you more
than I did before
but now it's not allowed
you're not around
I see you going out
and everything goes black
and I start to fall apart
it reminds me of the color of your heart
I miss you more than mud
lost you more than blood
knead you more than dough
I love you more than toast
more I love you more I love you more
than I did before
but now we're in a war
and what's it for?
I read your horoscope
and everything is clear
and it feels a little weird
cause it used to be the color of your tears

Swallow Everything
There were things I could have told you
but you've heard it all before
and you look so calm and peaceful
when you're passed out on the floor
swallow everything
swallow everything
you're the pellet with the poison
you're the hand that holds the pearl
you're an alcohol girl in an alcohol world
swallow everything
swallow everything
that's how a little bit of me
becomes a part of you
and I know I shouldn't be complaining
cause I enjoy it too
the eyes of a zombie
and the will of a table for two
swallow everything
reject nothing
you plant a new emergency
for every one you kill
it's a fluid
it's a solid
it's a powder
it's a pill
swallow everything
swallow everything
seeing double
feeling single
weigh the benefits and costs
double single single double double single double crossed
swallow everything
swallow everything
and someone will always be there for you
to tell you what to say
and you know you'll never walk alone
cause you can't control your legs
you know you'll believe it
and it's only a weekend away
swallow everything reject nothing

Together Tonight
There was a time when I had you back
I let it go by
fear prejudice pride melancholy or tact
I don't really know why
when there was nothing but time
I let it go by
what am I coughing up
I don't even know why
we should be talking
not just tying up the phone line
let's be together tonight
I don't know why I'm a time bomb
waiting to go off
but even if I should lose my mind
that's really no loss
even if I lose my mind
it would be no loss
even though I know
it wouldn't mean a whole lot
I'm getting tired of being
rock 'em sock 'em robots
let's be together tonight
oh oh oh oh oh oh
if ever I have you back again
I'm gonna hold on tight
the question is now
the answer is when
the meaning is all night
if ever I have you again
well I'll hold on tight
nothing can hold me back
when I hold you all night
come over and I'll pretend
that everything is all right
let's be together tonight
