never seen the stars shine this bright
and im staying up all night
to sort out the feelings in my skull
ive been scanning our old texts
full of misunderstandings and half-hearted bets
about how much better we feel together
you cut your hair to the scalp
and im still finding out how to live without
destitute and in distress
dying to put meaning to the french on my chest
this novembers sure to chill
a cut right to the bone
through dark haired girls and midwestern hills
will i ever make it home

sorry sit down i think we'll be just fine. celebrate everything which we've come to rely. kisses, calls, a morning free of any surprise. orchestrate a perfect night when friends call. dance hall. hips talk, long walk. borrowed time tomorrow, tonight. earning your heart and sacrificing mine. interesting characters they always survive. never seem to understand just how i should strive getting my heart to slow down. holidays, beach dates, mondays, high stakes. understand i cant care anymore. run in circles and learn to stop the whys. territories really neednt have to apply. nothing that you do can really kill me inside. or at least stop me from my life, insights, my fight, high life. organize and tidy up my time. realizing that im always 50 steps up ahead. edit out the parts where i get stuck in my head. burdened with the weight of everyone that ive met. endless nights of laying up in my bed. now ive got this notion that its all about you. in this dream its only just me and you. call you just to tell you go ahead and do you. anyone you wanna see i will not stop you.

we'll be what we'll be, its destiny. has predetermination made a path for me? is free really free? it's all in your beliefs. so i suppose it's really up to me

I wanna take a walk with you. We'll walk down The Inlet we'll know when we are through. Because when I'm with you I feel love for everything and everyone and anything and anyone. If our love was a song it'd be number one. In dreams I drift to Lafayette Township. A place that seems so close and yet so far away. We can drive old 42 and waste away another day. We'll take a drive down Ballash Road. The road gets curvy we'll have to take it slow. And pass the house with the big old sign....spewing anti-governmental rhetoric. See the lake when we're least expecting it. In dreams I drift to Lafayette Township. A place that seems so close and yet so far away. We can drive old 42 and waste away another day.

Time Stops

time stops whenever you go away
leave me at home it never goes okay
empty headed as im watching all the numbers go
up and up and up and up and up on the clock on the stove
do the dishes, wash my clothes
clean the sink, call your phone
time stops whenever you go away
crossing off the list of the things i need to do today
do the dishes, wash my clothes
clean the sink, call your phone
plus all the stupid things that i like to do when im alone
do the dishes, wash my clothes
clean the sink, call your phone
please come home
i cant live alone

i wonder when ill turn gray
maybe my bones will creak
no doubt it wont be graceful
ill know ive earned my take
if i can make it to one hundred
flying cars through smoggy sunsets
what will be the cause of our fall
whats it worth to live forever
just to watch us fuck it all up
doubt we'll learn to learn from the past
so live fast, but stay young
a silent spring no birds here
and beaches that just radiate
by god my lawn will stay green
from all the chemicals from yesteryear
if i can make it to one hundred
flying cars through smoggy sunsets
what will be the cause of our fall
whats it worth to live forever
just to watch us fuck it all up
doubt we'll learn to learn from the past
so live fast, but stay young

Then just like that, you came in from the rain
You'd changed your hair but your eyes were the same
We exchanged words 'bout our lives and our jobs
You'd bought a house and a tabby named “Hobbes"
We parted ways but I thought of you still
Went home and found our disposable film
One where we're laughing and looking away
Somewhere downtown on a blossoming day in May
Here in my memory, we’re still so young
Last time I saw you, so strung out and white
High off the pills you were taking each night
I didn’t know but could see in your eyes
The hatred and pain you were feeling inside
If memory serves, we were 16 years old
Just as naive as the stories we told
We shared CDs, clothing, and poetry
Now that I’m older, they're special to me and you
Here in this picture, we were so young

no wonder its so dark down here
street lights disappear
its a wonder, the lights so far away
in distant galaxies
biggest mysteries
out there
everything floats
take a second, think about the time
it would take to fly
to the reaches of the light that meets your eyes
immeasurable In size
biggest mysteries
out there
where everything floats

The Blanket Truth
02:14
|
|||
|
everything is the same, even if it's different
exactly
but our everyday mind forgets this
we think everything is separate, limited
i'm over here, you're over there
which is true
but its not the whole truth
we need to learn to see the blanket truth all the time
(I Heart Huckabees)

Regress
01:28
|
|||
|
cold concrete
parking lots
paved over
a priceless spot
what was once something worth something
now lays vacant
clear it all
its just progress
society in regress
why save anything
who really cares about the future
we dont need nothing
not with these huge brains we have
nature is is only there for us to exploit
for our nearsighted goals
fuck it up tear it up someone else clean it up

We Spent It All
01:42
|
|||
|
we spent it all
one million dollars
one millions chances to get out of here
this poverty is killing me
that lucky ticket
it bought us nothing but regret
i wish id never played the lottery
we spent it all on cars and drugs and tits
we spent it all on clothes and jewels and glitz
we spent it all and when it all ran out
we spent it all and were right back in the shit

all that we really need is right in front of us. if only we could go outside. and i know that nothing that youll see is scary. at least not as much as youll see on your screen. whens the last time you stood under a tree? looking up in awe at how long it has stood? and clearly it is something that we usually take for granted but what is new? all that we really need is right in front of us. if only we could go outside. and i know that nothing that youll see is scary. at least not as much as youll see on your screen. take a trip to somewhere that youve never been. look around you and see all the things that we never seem to notice or give a shit about, cause you cant feel a sunrise on tv
