well i played to it too
in the garden, way, way down
and i played to it too
on the pavement, i was dumb, and it was dumb
but the cars all seem to go
on the weekends, i’ll drop a line, and drive around
and i will see i make my way
all the way across the country
we can go outside
we can never know
but i will get pulled through
humid street nights, the incandecent lights are doing fine
but for now, i’m going too
or i’m staying out of my mind again

At Least Try

i don’t want to go out
so then you say “are you okay?”
i dug myself straight down
to the point which i’ll stay
in this darkened place
it’s not okay
to stay so low
to that i’ll go
they all have bloodshot eyes
as if it has been days
we were walking foreign roads
when you said, “i’m so glad that you came”

we can just blame it on how i get up late
it was just so late
taken then outside
couldn’t find the words that would let me say it
maybe then i’m in need of a walk
to blow the steam right off
but do you feel yourself?
or am i just behind
all those seven dime complexions
and rusty cages
i never liked looking at them
at all, just like empty pipe dreams
residing down the hall
it’s not like i tried to wake up late
theres no single blame
taken then outside to a wonderful day
and what a beautiful morning
maybe then i’m in need of some time
to leave some things behind
but do you feel yourself?

For a While

he said “it’s time that we’ve spent, nearly wasting”
while keeping hands inside of pockets, walking
thru the grass that’s bound to go
and grow again, when looking down
but i’m feeling condemned, you know what i’m saying
was a look that rivaled cavernous explosions, for a while
that twisted face said
“who are you? it’s way too late.”
why did you lie?
why did you lie about it, my dear?
why did you lie?
why did you lie about it, my friend til the end?
they put love in your hands, can’t you see?
it’s so relatable
shes been going to the diner, lately
his bin of winter clothes was growing, slowly, for a while
you got to see
a clear shot, down the corridor

Off Orange

wait a minute
don’t say a thing
i won’t over-say it
or leave notes on the door
this is momentary bliss
it is words on the window
it’s what we have been practicing for
wont you say
what you mean
before we have to say goodbye
on saturday
i’ll just lie
and wait for
that off orange sky
hid in cupboards
we won’t play to win
it’s for consolation
and the scenes shown before
but this is growing far too thin
i believe that you know that
it will be coming around again

Marquee

perpetual motion took some time
away from the marquee shining lights, telling lies
i never once made it out unscathed
i never once made it out okay
oh i could tell good lies
meet me in the middle
“weekdays went slower towards the end,“ said a friend
while we were walking through water waist high
i was reminded of lives past lived
he said “i don’t even think i knew them at all”

No Way

last week, tuesday night
i said “no way i’m going out there”
this feels like one big bad dream
something sets it off
i never knew why we were like that then
feeling a shift in the things we see
i do not know
where we choose to stay
or why it seemed that way
like a looking out for something different
im not standoffish
you should go and stop making it up
feeling like i'm running out of time
last week, wednesday night
you were saying things you don’t believe
feeling a shift in the things we need
i could not say
where we wanna stay
or what made you feel that way
or any other questions you may have

Way Out
03:13

i hold it all
it was my cross to bear
so i bear it a lot
and i took it all
i was on the run
never looked back once
and i held it all
fell right outta my pocket
and went for a walk
so i hold it all
on my shoulders, walking
now your looking
right thru everbody
called it lovely,
a waste of purgatory
he called it off
in the light of the day
in the midst of a lot
i swear i saw
something calling you back
something reached for your arm
feeling real tall
you could walk up above
you could see out that far
do you stand up tall?
on my shoulders, walking

Most the Year
03:34
|

|
in time i’ll know
you got it to, i got it to
stay around, came around
anytime you can see
i will get caught up most of the time
for the night
went over the wall
never made it back
made it most the night
made it most the year
second chance, not again
i’d rather get lost
than have a friend
for the night
coming down, staying down
it took seven years
to know this town
for the night
