1.	Thank God I'm Damned 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Thank God I’m damned Thank God for this mystery I thank him for all the mess He’s made From here to eternity Thank God I’m damned And though I do not believe If I had not been bound I would never have been freed One day you were one day old With two eyes and little feet And all the expectations That your parents couldn’t ever meet You will climb the playground slide With two hands along the floor If you don't like it they won’t see you anymore Thank God I’m damned Thank God for this mystery I thank him for all the mess He’s made From here to eternity Thank God I’m damned And though I do not believe If I had not been bound I would never have been freed Cut it up in little pieces Leave it in the grass Lacking explanations For everything that has come to pass It’s a lot to explain But I’ll try to anyway And in the empty space I might get rearranged Thank God I’m trans Thank God I’m gay Thank God for love And thank God for hate Thank God I’m damned And though I do not believe If I had not been bound, I would never have been freed
2.	Jenny Rambling 03:43	lyrics	buy track
I don’t know where I belong And I don’t know where I’m going I can feel it coming on But it comes too fast Yeah it comes too fast And if you kick it down the road It’ll come right back I thought I knew it all But I didn’t know anything I think about it all the time As I watch Jenny rambling Meet me in the parking lot And I’ll meet you in the bathroom I don’t know what’s going on But it must be fun If we drink too much We’ll get a forty at the party And all throw up I thought I knew it all But I didn’t know anything I think about it all the time As I watch Jenny rambling Try as I may try I cannot ramble on Try as I may try I cannot ramble on
3.	The Car That Kills Me 03:40	lyrics	buy track
The car that kills me will have safety features It’ll break for creatures And hit me anyway The car that kills me will get decent mileage And look pretty stylish As I hit the paint In heaven The streets are filled with children There’s cyclists by the billions And miles of lanes In heaven Oh, every lane is full width No plastic bollard bullshit It’s hard to explain The dad who kills me will be extra charming When the traffic cops come calling He’ll only get a fine The car that kills me will have a sleepy driver Who will be the lone survivor He won’t get to work on time In heaven You’ll greet your friends and family Whose lives were cut down early With smiles and tears In heaven The traffic lights don’t go out Your tubes will never blow out I think you’ll like it here The car that kills me will be eco-friendly Will be mostly empty When it pins me to the ground The guy that kills me will be less than perfect He’ll pretend to think I’m worthless But he won’t live it down
4.	Big Backyard 03:24	lyrics	buy track
It was a big backyard With room to play But we’d have to drive so far Oh, what a shame She was a local mom She had a lot to say And that’s where she usually parked So it was D.O.A. They said that if I tried I could stick around But at fifteen bucks an hour it didn’t pencil out It was a fancy home With room to hide But it wasn’t up to code So we slept outside We drove for fifty miles Just to stay awake I think if we really try I know we’ll find a place They said that we could stay here if we want Just another vacant home for us to haunt I’m going to live where my grandma lived if it kills me I’m going to live where my parents lived if it kills me We’ll build on your big backyard Right on your room to play And we’ll build it so damn tall That even you can stay
5.	Thank You, Anni 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Thank you, Anni For all that you will be Oh, I can’t wait to tell you Things you won’t believe All about the past The way it was before When everything was nothing And then you joined the world In all its pain and glory The place that we call home The people and their worries It’s really quite a show We run around in circles Then someday we all die But right now we can sit down here And look up at the sky Tell me, Anni What is it all for? I’ve spent a long time wondering And searching for the door I’m not sure where we’re going Or when this all will end But one thing is for certain I’m glad that we’ll be friends We’ll find the little moments That make it all feel new The bison on the prairie And the wildflowers in bloom Everything around us Is in a state of change It all turns over quickly And yet somehow stays the same Tell me, Anni What it’s like to grow You see things as they are Not knowing where they go I see a subtle flicker Behind your little eyes It’s something I once had Then lost, I don’t know why The cardinal keeps on singing The blue jay finds it tree They spend their lives not knowing All that weighs on you and me But somehow they know more Than we both ever will They know what makes the wind blow And what grows the daffodil Thank you, Anni For all you will achieve I hope that you will tell me Things I won’t believe All about the future The lands on distant shores It might seem kind of scary But all of it is yours
