1.	why won't the rainclouds go away? 02:35	lyrics	buy track
[4/4] all these stupid songs i write for you fall on deaf ears so what's the fucking use the sickness eats at my mind until there's nothing left every day of my life until i'm fucking dead [slow] after everything... i hope you're happy when the words stop moving. oh [breakdown; 4/4+4/4+9/8+4/4] [moment of clarity; 4/4] think happy thoughts think happy thoughts think happy thoughts think happy thoughts [5/4] get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
2.	futile devices (orig. sufjan stevens) 04:38	lyrics	buy track
it's been a long, long time since i've memorized your face it's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place and when I sleep on your couch i feel very safe and when you bring the blankets i cover up my face i do love you i do love you and when you play guitar i listen to the strings buzz the metal vibrates underneath your fingers and when you crochet i feel mesmerized and proud and I would say I love you but saying it out loud is hard so I won't say it at all and I won't stay very long but you are life I needed all along i think of you as my brother although that sounds dumb and words are futile devices
