shake the blood off my fingers
can't be too hard to find me
driving down footville-richmond
ditch the evidence quickly
a subaru full of smoke, a variance of the types
the stale smell lingers through the deep woods at night
behind a rusted out bus
we had a fucked up sacrifice
kicking cans down the country road
with rain shadows in the street light
you did a hit of commercial
i did a hit of something else
drive back down the dirt path
no concern for our mental hell
sam's got a gun
bobby came equipped with a knife
slicing through leaves so quickly
he gets the job done right
gruesome display of how they raised us
the sunset hours ago
and i'm still not sure which way leads home
street lights guide us home
walk in, fall to the floor
growing old is a self imposed war

Soul Searching and Me
02:52
|

it's gravitational
as far as i can tell
the air i breathe is educational
it's not meant for me, surely could be meant for you
you and me, we might believe
in early innocence and self love
but we try to clean it up for early eyes
to my surprise, it's easier than cutting ties
if you can feel awake enough to take the ride
a weird divide between your soul searching and me
I found mine
bottomed out and broken down near the county line
you're motivational
you make me want to lie
would i be tainted, call me out
open up your hands and scream out
but we try to clean it up for early eyes
to my surprise, it's easier than cutting ties
if you can feel awake enough to take the ride
a weird divide between your soul searching and me

ain't no good
you wanted the change
while i've been just seeing you sitting around again
seeing you sitting around again
i fear that my drunk luck will finally change your mind
and seeing me hanging around again
seeing me hanging around again
i know it could have been better
stare so blankly through the crack of the door
while i buzz the sides and trim it up on the top
sloppy in the back
but my body balances the ugliness of the day
i stayed awake and finished off some cheap wine
i always say tomorrow, until today
ain't no good
you wanted the change
while i've been just seeing you sitting around again
seeing you sitting around again
i fear that my drunk luck will finally change your mind
and seeing me hanging around again
seeing me hanging around again
i don't want you to change your mind in vein
body locked in a cage, i broke your brain

how could you talk about
like i never had a word to say
how could you listen to them
when everybody talks so much
when they don't have nothin to chase
how could you laugh about it
with a hand over your mouth
the funniest thing you've ever seen
god left me
as a child with a mouth that moved
so fast that it was quicker than my brain
you left me
not quite understanding
how i dissected your phrase
how could i dream about it
when it's so far out of reach
i stretch my arms so long, they disconnect from me
how could i think about it
when they want you to dream
with no form of compensation
and how will you give me something
useful, yet distasteful
yeah, you could always motivate me
god left me
as a child with a mouth that moved
so fast that it was quicker than my brain
you left me
not quite understanding
how i dissected your phrase

the pressure, it grows
through my body, it knows
that it's time to coordinate with my brain
feel the same
the sequence, it just knows
albuquerque, where you grow
stronger, faster
strength in time
feel divine
i'm still a kid at heart
can't you read the signs
have you read the novels
have you any pride
have you any sanity left
drowning in the desert, where we first met
tumbling hopelessness
absolutely
we can share
this bed of helplessness
don't you dare
take what i have worked for and twist it around
hanging out
the sickness, it grows
through my bloodstream
completion shows
the fading brightness
a mistake, give or take
the pressure, it grows
through my body, it knows
that it's time to coordinate with my brain
feel the same
i'm still a kid at heart
can't you read the signs
have you read the novels
have you any pride
have you any sanity left
drowning in the desert, where we first met
tumbling hopelessness

if only it was worth it
being away, staying awake
makes it harder to stay
maybe i'm not cut out for this
makes it harder to please you all
my eyes are yearning
for a change
my eyes are burning
keep it the same
wither away
until your time is up
the sugar in your blood has been cleaned
you always loved to watch it bleed
and now your dream is seen
by few these days
i'm just up and away
laying my face
all over the place
my eyes are yearning
for a change
my eyes are burning
keep it the same
wither away

Hit the Roof

this morning, open up the blinds
no light today
but that's okay
the rain is comforting
lightning strike smile
they say it's gonna last a while
i've got nowhere, nowhere to go
so i don't mind pictures of you
and what you tried to do for me
can't take my eyes off the jeans with ripped knees
young and hopeful, young and hopeful eyes
gives me a warm feeling
the sweater on your shoulder
took it from my closet yesterday
smells like a memory protruding
smells like a memory suppressed
not as in the style as your sundress
but you don't mind
blind with love, you were hypnotized
blind with rage, i was mesmerized
if karma was man, i'd write his greatest plan
i'm out of pictures of you
and what you tried to do for me

Into the Deep

into the deep
sinking somewhere in between
needing time and i'm feeling lonely
in between the window and the screen
hardwood floors feel differently along my feet
closed eyes, smiling face
more comforting to be asleep than awake
two or three more to tempt my fate
difficult to leave
i've got a lot on my plate
tracing lines along my face
easier said than done
fostered the child, accept it as one
a whole piece that's missing
clearly the perception is tinted
makes it hard to believe
clearly the memory's foggy
clearly you want me to leap
into the deep

i've got a real bad feeling about it
can't seem to shake the phase
permanent shame
secret blame for me to claim
the good days
aren't as common as i'd like them to be
validate my games
bring it back to the center
a little to the right
straightened out and tight
bring me the heads of the mimes
lust is strong, but love is blind
i'm not convinced that's true
i still do it all for you
i do it all for you
sit and smile with the burden of feeling alone
back in style with the burden of being unknown
bring me the heads of the mimes
lust is strong, but love is blind
i'm not convinced that's true
i still do it all for you
i do it all for you

waiting room
stiff chair, open wounds
coughing up a lung
gone too soon
credit card charged and you're still sick
sick of it all
help a kid out
why can't you help me out
dragging my feet
twelve hour day
but hey, at least i'm getting paid
at least i'm getting paid
dragging my head across the floor
excuse me while i stretch out
cracking bones in my back
straighten my spine and my neck
there's not enough water in the world to go around
but you can still drown
all in all it's just a dream
living in a sun machine
all in all it's just a dream
living in a sun machine
sun machine
