Hello again
It’s good to see you on your own again
It’s good to see you off your phone again
It’s good to see you on your own
I’ve been fine, too, can’t say I’m doin’ too bad
Except in the past year, I’ve faced so much fear
So much fear that could last a lifetime
Downtown… I saw him walkin’ downtown
Downtown… I saw him walkin’ downtown
Downtown… I saw him walkin’ downtown
Downtown… I saw him walkin’ downtown
Downtown on their own
Hello again
It’s good to see you on your own again
It’s good to see you in your own home again
It’s good to see you on your own
I’ve been fine, too, can’t say I’m doin’ too bad
Except as I sing this I’m cryin’
Cryin’ on…
Hello again
It’s good to see you on your own again
It’s good to see you on your own again
It’s good to see you on your own

Another day inside my shell again
Shivering
Buddy it’s okay, I feel the same
There’s no more grass for me to crawl on anyway
And I know I’m soft on the inside
I know
I know I’m soft on the inside
I know
But unlike any slug or snail, my fusiform’s all show-and-tell
A Gastropod
Yeah unlike any slug or snail, my fusiform’s all show-and-tell
A Gastropod
Everything is falling into place
And it didn’t take my stressed and pretty face
Or the embrace of another
But unlike any slug or snail, my fusiform’s all show-and-tell
A Gastropod
Yeah unlike any slug or snail, my fusiform’s all show-and-tell
A Gastropod

You with your head on your shoulders
Like some crown on a Cirque du Soleil man
You, looking so thoughtful
Sittin’ by the fire, wonderin’ about
Future you
Me, too
I am all of these things
But I never, never thought about them ‘til I was with you
Me too, me too oh me, too
I am not better
At least I’m not with myself when I’m with you
Me, getting pinned down by the years
Getting pinned down by my fears and my worries
Me, with my stomach twisting knots
Like some sour pretzel dough
From the malls I used to hate
You, too, god you’re all of these of things
But you never, never think about them as I do
Maybe those knots are twisting
Because they’re ready
Well, they’re ready to be consumed
Ready to be consumed
Ready to be consumed
Ready to be consumed
Oo I guess we’re all clowns, huh
Wearin’ a crown, huh
Oo I guess we’re all clowns, huh
Wearin’ a crown, huh
Oo I guess we’re all clowns, huh
Wearin’ a crown, huh
Oo I guess we’re all clowns, huh
Wearin’ a crown, huh… ha ha ha ha ha
Oo I guess we’re all clowns, huh
Wearin’ a crown, huh…
Isn’t that funny?

I can't see like I used to
It's too humid in here
It feels like my view's obstructed
But not enough to make me feel fear
When the chirping is ever near
It's like they're all calling me
Now they know I can only hear
Sometimes it's frustrating
Because I am so solitary
Doesn't mean I don't like fun
I hope my skin sheds really quickly
so I can smile at what I know to be the sun
But this isn't so scary
The chirping means I'm not alone
And even if I was
I have a really lovely home
I have two little houses
And a pretty view of the living room
I'm awake, my friends are sleeping
Oh how I wish I could see again

Been awhile
But it's like your cigarette stains taint the corners of my mouth
and I wish I didn't have to feel this way
I wish I didn't have to feel this way
I wish I didn't have to feel this way
I wish I didn't have to feel this way
Had another pint
At the dive bar tonight
Stood cross-eyed
While standing at the stoplight
and I wish I didn't have to feel this way
I wish I didn't have to feel this way
I wish I didn't have to feel this way
I wish I didn't have to feel this way

Salamander Finds Herself

I went down to the river
I went down to the river
Perusing the aisles of a supermarket
Like a museum
Packin’ for a trip that I don’t know how long will last me
I guess I’ll see
As long as it takes
I went down to the river
I went down to the river
I went down away from…
I went down away from…
I haven’t seen a salamander yet
But I know she’s under my feet as I swim
And I haven’t seen a mountain lion yet
But I know he’s waitin’ for me
He’s waitin’ for me
He’s waitin’ for me
He’s waitin’ for me
I went down to the river
I went down to the river
I went down in search of…
I went down in search of…
Swam naked for the first time in a swimming hole
And I felt safe while being at my most vulnerable
Never thought that’d happen to a human like me
But I was happy, protected by the trees
Protected by the trees
I went down to the river
I went down to the river
I went up and forward…
I went up and toward, and toward a- and toward…

Never thought I’d live to see the growing pain from younger
Become something to grow and pave the way
Never thought I’d live to see the growing pain from younger
Never thought I’d live to see the day
I recall the first time you spit on me in drama class when I was 14
Or was it 13?
I recall the first time you slit your wrists in front of me
In front of me
But I never thought I’d live to see the growing pain from younger
Become something to grow and pave the way
Never thought I’d live to see the growing pain from younger
Never thought I’d live to see the day
I recall the last time I saw you
Years ago
You were comfortable in your own skin
Like a snake being shed for the first time
But I never thought I’d live to see the growing pain from younger
Become something to grow and pave the way
Never thought I’d live to see the growing pain from younger
Never thought I’d live to see

It’s never all that bad, it’s never all that bad
It’s never all that bad, it’s never all that bad
I picked my nails again, I picked my nails again
So I paint my nails again, I paint my nails again
I hear, but never “heard”
I hear, but never “heard”
I hear, but never “heard”
I hear, but never “heard”
I read, but can’t recall
I read, but can’t recall
I read, but can’t recall
I read, but can’t recall
I said too much again, I said too much again
I said too much again, I said too much again
I sold my life again, I sold my life again
You bought my life again, it isn’t all that bad
I said too much again
I sold my life again
It’s never all that bad
It’s never all that
Bad
