He Waits
03:11
|

The burning sun under the sky
Fell asleep beneath the light
Hanging over the tired structure
The rotting leaves gave him comfort
With his fingers he had a brush
He had paint with ash and dust
He traded shelter for a canvas
The moonlight flickers
The cloud passes
He made her in a portrait
Out of caps he left all over the ground
He framed it in a picture
With the bottles he melted down
With the bottles he melted down
With the bottles he melted down
Stuck in clutter from what he said
Start a fire in his head
Light reflected off the can
Light projected from his hand
Deconstructed to a muse
Reducing her to shades of blue
Poison dripping down her face
Coping with him through his pain
He waits for the future
For the life on settled stone
He waits for the meaning
For belonging to someone
He waits for the comfort
For the strength for letting go
He waits for the feeling
It's the longing that he loves

Glue Boy

Gave up my room to a couple of roaches
Living on the street trying to see who approaches
People start to listen when I'm waving my gun
Feeling tough when I get what I want
A bottle of glue and I'm alone in the dark
Breathing in the fumes while I play my guitar
Future TV reality star
I should've known better than to sell my car
Hooked on a feeling
Raising hell around town
Squatting in the old home that I burned down
Cables strung around the back of the door
Locking myself into the basement floor
Saving all my breath for the chemical fire
Burning all the junk mail that I slowly acquired
Flashy colors stealing oxygen
Fell asleep under the smoke again

Don't Want to Bother You
01:12
|

Someday I'll have the time to call you
And you'll answer if you're free
Cause it'd been so long since you had talked to me
Someday I'll ask you out for dinner
When I get the timing right
I'd understand if you're not patient
It just couldn't be tonight
I'd hate to bother you
I'd hate to waste your time
I'm so afraid of saying something
I could never leave behind
I want to dance with you
Under the kitchen lights
We can see in a few months
If you can't that's alright
I'll wait

I Hate My Job
02:25

I thought I figured something out
You wouldn't even hear me out
You always tell me to sit down
Such an idiot sit down
I look forward to my dreams
They're always traumatizing me
With their terrorizing ends
But at least I make them meet
A dollar made a dollar saved
A dollar wasted on your grave
A broken hand on golden land
Drops a nickel in the sand
Another day gone
Another crawl
Another one to forget
Made your money
I made it all
Made a bit less than I spent
I need 12 more reasons to cope
Don't need much excuse to fold
Need the vapor stuck to my coat
Need you out of my head
Cause I'm tired
Of the working
Of the emptiness I take home
Clean the cuts with alcohol
And stitch them up with rope
I don't need a doctor I need hope
I need help but I'm too broke
Clean the cuts with alcohol
And stitch them up with rope
I see my life in a new way
The way you see it everyday
The way you always put me down
Such an idiot sit down
I love coming to at work
Half the shift left in the dirt
Hiding out under the shade
Work as hard as you get paid
I never said I never cared
I never meant to stop and stare
I should've stayed away instead
I'm stuck with you until I'm dead

What am I to you
Am I just a convenience for you
Cause I know what you are to me
A mirage in the sea

BLEED
04:03

Got it figured out
Got a 40 in my hand
Got the feeling down
Gotta take another drag
On a Saturday
Going down a main street
All the chattering
All the bustle and speed
I bleed
It goes it goes it goes
Burn holes in the ground I touch
Miserable voids where the feeling stuck
Clipping through anything I want
Tangible shit never meant too much to me
Slipping in and out of the same room
Going everywhere the light tells me to move
Hit the ground after another shot
And so it goes it goes it goes
Dull rhythm crushing down my spine
Keeping in time just to stay alive
Eyes bulging out like a bottle cork
Until it goes it goes it goes
Got a lot of debt
Gotta catch up on my rent
Gotta quit my job
Gotta make a better bet
On a Saturday
Picking bottles off the ground
For a new parlay
Get myself another round
I bleed
It goes it goes it goes
Woke up on the drive back home
Thought about you before I lost control
Parked up on the side of a pole
Came out with a bottle and a life I stole
I bleed
I bleed I bleed I bleed

Travel Song

If you could travel anywhere
But only for the day
Would you come to see me
Before the daylight fades
Fly out to Seattle
Commute to the Big Apple
Hitchhike to Miami
If it's not too much a hassle
Drive out to the Golden State
if you have anytime
I'll be in Los Angeles
If you want to say hi
Would you backpack Europe
Walk through the middle East
Take a train to Asia
Then sail the Seven Seas
Crash into Antarctica
Then race to the North Pole
Run back down to Africa
And try to fix your boat
Drive out to the Golden State
if you have anytime
I'll be in Los Angeles
If you want to say hi
If I could go anywhere
I'd probably just stay home
But if I really had to
I'd travel the whole world
I'd roll down Mt. Everest
And swim the Panama
I would climb the pyramids
and trek the Amazon
I'd go down to your place
And meet you at your down
I'd tell you about my day
And I'd ask you about yours
There's really only one place
I'd be afraid to go
It's the state you live
That I'd rather leave alone
I've got things that I can do
So you don't feel imposed
I just kinda like you
And that's not something you should know
No I'm not avoiding you
For something else out there
Truth is if you wanted to
I'd take you everywhere

We can move on you don't need introduction
Turn the switch on cause I need it to function
I look at your face
I look at your face
I don't want to leave
This place
I feel ashamed to live with a fortune I broke
Stealing blank stares
Filling them up with my hope
I'm a broken man
You're expired tape
Holding up my hand
Until it escapes
You don't get far
From where you were
You stay in place
I run away
I saw a car crash today
And thought to send you a picture
But it seemed like a rude thing to do
It was two cars
One didn't yield to the other
I walked through the wreck
Past the passengers
Afraid but happy to be alive
And on my way home
I thought about how badly I wanted to share my day with you
But I think I made the right call
Letting the moment pass

Living Memory
03:35

Picking gum off of the table
Sticking my head through a broken window
People asking where the time goes
I play dumb cause I really don't know
Things are easy when they don't make sense
So I close my eyes and avoid them
Poking holes with a mechanical pencil
Sticking my head through a broken window
When we were younger
Underdeveloped
Products of our folks
Breaking from the mold
We died in September
Before the weather
And left behind a husk
We took to our desk
I hold onto the skin I lost
Like a dead hand holding a ring
Immortalize what I take off
My living memory
Growing up is a cycle
You feel a lot better
Then you find some new ways
To get even sadder
There is no wind
Only a great tide
Moving us around
Until we die
Picking gum off of the table
Sticking my head through a broken window
People asking where the time goes
I play dumb cause I really don't know
Things are easy when they don't make sense
So I close my eyes and avoid them
Poking holes with a mechanical pencil
Sticking my head through a broken window
