An Example
03:04
|
|||
Making your bed in the dark
All tucked in
You made it hard on yourself
Everything's not working out
Look around for an example
No need to get sentimental
Use the eraser on your pencil
A little help never hurt anyone
How did we get here where are we from
Inside the surf
On top the wave
Under the ground
Into a cave
In solidarity
Is a ladder that leads
Straight up to heaven
Ask around with all your questions
We can take turns being captain
When you get tired I'll stoke the fire
It's getting too hot, time to retire
Carryin blocks, buildin em up
May not be fast, lookin at us
Time's gonna pass just like the last go around

Hung Up
03:08
|
|||
Overwritten, always missin the plot
Vested interest in unpopular thought
Careful sentiments that are fairly bizarre
Even if I think i do, I do not know who you are
Everything we said
Buried here instead
I can't pull myself from the grave
I'll pour myself a cup
I'm still so hung up
This is make-believe
How many times can you sing the same song
Before you get the message and intended slogan
Each other's circles never share the same space
Is that by deign or did you just make a mistake

Belly
03:43
|
|||
It is there
You have one
It hasn't been like this before
Should you worry about that
Can you change
How does it affect
The way that you are seen
But why would you take that for fact
Is it part of you
Or can you not get past
It's vanity to assume I'm not calling the shots
Are you sane
Do you color glass
If these are like the questions you ask
Wonder where your head's at
Feel the weight
And the weariness
If choices are what led you to this
I'm gonna burn up
Is it too late
To take a chance
Believe in evidence because it's right there in your hand

Paranoia Jive
02:22
|
|||
Ebb and flow
Whirlwinds blow
Against old stone
Immovable forces collide
Just like they were supposed to do
And I hope to completely receive brevity
Move toward the momentous memories
Marinate in goodbyes
Temper the twist of the night
Bitter hills
Valleys deep
Weary feet
Treading a familiar street
It's still unfulfilled for ya
And I cry crocodile tears for this paranoia jive
Close, coddled promises and lies
Saccharine lies
Dying from dealing in doubt
Bent elbows
Share the load
Encouraging folks
Gone stepping up to the plate
Dishin up a misty-eyed sight
My pride failed to hold up to time
Where's the insistence to celebrate some
Rather than one
Raising the roof to the sun

Atonin
02:52
|
|||
Getting out before the feeling's gone
Staying too long when you know it's wrong
Trying far too hard to read the whole room
When you dish it, better take your own spoon
If you sniff it I can feel it in the air
Unless you check em they're not going anywhere
Choppin up your rotten stumps to clear em out
You gotta deal with all the lumps you got around
Glaring character flaws
I'm trying to work on them
And I'm pulling out the stops to go ahead
Atonin for the things I've done and said
Pushin others from the cover of your love
Broken out of by degrees you're not above
Carried to and from and back into embarrassment
Need a carriage that'll help along a merriment
Crooked inconsistencies will be the death of ya
Don't address em than you're muffling a clarion
Better stamp em out than interview a ghost
But if it whispers shout it loud and raise a toast

Faucet of Love
03:43
|
|||
Just a bird inside your hand
Who knows If you're missing out
Assimilated to safety
Now danger leaves you in doubt
I'm filled with feelings that are logically flawed and devil-may-care
You're poking holes inside my atmosphere
But we were already there
I never wanted to turn off the faucet of love
When it flows you just let it fill you up
Gotten good at the goose chase
Live and let it be fine
If my memory served me
I wouldn't lose track of time
I'll make it up by maybe filling the pit with apples and oranges
Blowing smoke, an accidental barrage
Until you actually force it
|

Regret
03:57
|
|||
I regret the chances that we never really had
I regret missing out on both the good times and the bad
I regret the memories that have slipped between our toes
I regret the scents that cannot linger in my nose
I regret replacing way back then with here and now
I regret not steppin' up to kill that sacred cow
Now I've got to sit and be content with who I am
A coward and a child, surely I am not a man
I'm an inconsiderate old friend
You can forgive but you cannot forget
I'm an inconsiderate old friend
You can forgive but I cannot forget
I regret mistaking disregard for an intent
I regret breaking off every promise in my debt
I regret opportunities now a waste
I regret not sharing both this time and this place
I regret listening to impatient parts of mine
I regret moving across that bold and final line
Who am I to encroach upon another's mended gate?
Vampiric, black hole scrub and sloth that cannot wait
I'm an inconsiderate old friend
You can forgive but you cannot forget
I'm an inconsiderate old friend
You can forgive but I cannot forget

Low Velocity
03:10
|
|||
I'm slow moving man
But if you take the other hand
And bring it back into it's counterpart
I'll gladly take your applause
Low Velocity
What would it take a cat
To arouse from a nap
Maybe a vertical accelerant
Why wake, enjoying ignorance
Low Velocity
C'mon man, get off my back
Before you give yourself a heart attack
Just leave me alone
Throw this poor dog a bone
Low Velocity

Solace
03:39
|
|||
Solace
I've sought it
Why do I feel so less?
Scolded
So what?
Glances, I stole some
Solemn
Sober
Serenity, you float it
Sewed into my being
Behind everything
Devils
Drownin'
In drought
Let's not draw this out
Dyin'
I doubt it
Why be so dramatic?
Dragger
Drag on
Dancing to slow songs

Fantasy
04:01
|
|||
You don't have to have it
Let it go
Sail free from the masses
On your own
Safe from the heat
Justify the passage
No reward
Talk straight to your ashes
Here we are
Too late
The fantasy has revealed itself
I see
That fortune don't favor me
And if you're expectations are
Just shooting for some stars
I can sympathize with that
And if your aiming for the cosmos
We know that you deserve more than that
Terrified from inaction
Move the goal
Still I must get past it
Carry on
Bare all, completely
Merry go round and catch it
Still believe
Tempo getting faster
We repeat
