Song lyrics

• Is there room in the band?
  I don't need to be the frontman
  If not then I'll be the biggest fan.
  • "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore," No Burden (2016) as quoted by Ivy Nelson of Pitchfork [1]

• You used to be so sweet
  Now you’re a firecracker on a crowded street
  • Home Video (album) as quoted by Peyton Thomas of Pitchfork [2]

• A preacher in a t-shirt told me I could be a leader [...]
  You showed me the light
  All it did, in the end, was make the dark feel darker than before
  • "VBS," Home Video as quoted by Peyton Thomas of Pitchfork [3]

• How did they betray me? What did I do?
  I never touched you how I wanted to
  If you get married, I’d object
  Throw my shoe at the altar and lose your respect
  • Home Video as quoted by Peyton Thomas of Pitchfork [4]

• Without you I am surely the last of our kind
  Without you I am surely the last of my kind
  • "Dream State..." and "...Familiar Place," No Burden (2016) as quoted by Ivy Nelson of Pitchfork[5]

• I let my mind get turned inside out
  Just to see what the kids were laughing about
  And it wasn't worth understanding
  Something I could've gone my whole life not knowing.
  • "Direct Address," No Burden (2016) as quoted by Ivy Nelson of Pitchfork [6]

• I thought you'd hit rock bottom, but I'm starting to think that it doesn't exist
  You've been falling for so long and you haven't hit anything solid yet
  • "Strange Torpedo," No Burden (2016) as quoted by Ivy Nelson of Pitchfork [7]

• If you hadn’t come over, I would be so much colder
  I would be much less confused
  • "Dream State...," No Burden (2016) as quoted by Ivy Nelson of Pitchfork [8]

• I want what we have, our beautiful life
  But the stillness, the stillness, might eat me alive
  • "Limerence," Forever Is a Feeling, as quoted by Marcy Donelson of AllMusic [9]
