I tried to fix everything with Elmer's Glue™ and Vaseline™ but nothing worked, I feel like dirt inside a horserace track
I'm hiding my eyes
I'm hiding my lies that you will never know
If you can't see
You can tell me what to do but I won't if I just don't want to
I tell lies that tell the truth, it took so long to find the proof in my eyes
I'm hiding my lies that you will never know
We tried, our lies have died, we told them to survive, they ate us all alive
if you can't see

Bottle Rockets
03:14
|

Backseat driver with your eyes on fire
Feeling like a teenager, looking like a tax payer
Where did the time go?
You and I both know we’ve got horse pills to swallow
of course we would wallow
Under the bed and inside the closet, in your purse and in your little locket
In baby bottles and bottle rockets, I saw the corkscrew falling out of your pocket
I just can’t lie
I was living like a stone cold, fractured telephone poll, callous to your bad way just so I'd be okay
We caved and we caved
I’ll bet you were a slave to the substance that you use
The more you have the more you lose it when its
Under the bed and inside the closet, in your purse and in your little locket
In baby bottles and bottle rockets, I saw the corkscrew falling out of your pocket
My love is illness and death is stillness
Feeling like two thousand frozen goldfish
When years are no one and shame is shotguns
The shit came down and we got hit by some
It rained all day but the dreams still stay
It goes away
its constant worry feeling so hurried to figure out my life before the fury
I hope you’re better and I forget her but the person who you were really got hurt

You ever feel like everyone's a domino?
One down and the other ones will follow
I know that that's how we are
Sometimes I think it's all a board game
My love, the earth, and your pain
I know that that's who we are
so I take it all
Take it all cause it's all I've got
All I've got even when it's not
When it's not true
Let it go
Let it go cause I'm holding close
Holding close cause I can't refuse
Can't refuse you
Mom and dad were standing there arguing
I was looking out the window not listening
god knows if they'll work it out
I'm looking at the crazy neighbors
Don't do their kids no favors
Left their own baby outside
so he takes it all
Takes it all cause it's all he's got
All he's got even when it's not
When it's not true
Let it go
Let it go cause he's holding close
Holding close cause he can't refuse
Can't refuse you
take it all
Take it all cause it's all I've got
All I've got even when it's not
When it's not true
Let it go
Let it go cause I'm holding close
Holding close cause I can't refuse
Can't refuse you

Maimonides

I wish that an alien would come to take me far
tell me that where I have been was just some joke or farce
I’m alright until the nighttime when I close my eyes
I can’t hide from my own mind
I can’t hide but I can try
I got on all fours and forgot if this had been real
Hospitals smell like the way the lighting makes me feel
Just a seizure, can’t believe her but she says she’s fine
I can’t hide from my own mind
I can’t hide but I can try
Old scenes of my memories come back in dreams
Don’t want to go back to sleep

Late Night Tears
You know how I feel
With the glasses falling off my face
Everything turns to teal In the absent mind, I leave it all behind
I lost something along the way I never knew was mine
Never knew was mine
Whistle tone
You make me want to travel time
And search for things that I can’t find
In search for some peace of mind
In search for some picture books
In search for some things you took
In search for some paid in full
In search for my paper bull
I was kicking on the grass
Laughing fast, I finished last

Yearbook

Flipping through the burnt page of my old grade
Looking at the blank face everyone made me escape the parade
I left after 10th grade to watch my mind decay until I got away
You are, you are
And I am not
You are, You are
It’s funny now to think about all of the kids and everything they never did
Some of ‘em hid from their mom’s to get rid
Of all the alcohol and the pills with the lids that you couldn’t get off
You are you are
And I am not
You are you are
And I am not
But I noticed
You are you are
So beholden
to shame, last names, and wasting your days
Dull fame contained in lanes
Anyways, I can't pretend from now to then
all the days spent away meant nothing
You are you are
And I am not
You are you are
And I am not
You are you are

Out On Me
02:49
|
|||
|
Running and hiding to cover whats inside and another protection
A new born resurrection
You might feel so powerless but you’ve got time to conquer this
Out on me, take out on me
You’re not to blame you just can’t see
Out on me, take out on me
You’re not to blame you just can’t see
the middle of nowhere is somewhere when you’re there
I know that you are scared but no ones ever prepared
Things don’t always stay the same but you’ll feel better if you change
Out on me, take out on me
You’re not to blame you just can’t see
Out on me, take out on me
You’re not to blame you just can’t see

On The Move Shortly
03:16
|
|||
|
Living fast like those tycoons that you invite to your room
Give me something I could use, give me nothing but the truth
Sights all blurred
I Feel so over, you’re so under
Getting older but feeling younger
Looking tired, acting wired
Know we’ll be on the move shortly
Sly destructor of our names
Old conductors of our brains
Changed the tracks like a hijack
interact with no contract
Sights absurd
I Feel so over, you’re so under
Getting older but feeling younger
Looking tired, acting wired
Know we’ll be on the move shortly

Sun was shining on my back, you were laying in the grass
Can’t explain
Thought that this was all a dream
Don’t feel like a human being
Don’t restrain
Never wanted to let go
But I have to and I know
Ocean breeze was in my eyes
Counting grains of sand in fives
Stuttering, tide knocked you down
Mom don’t die
Thought that this was all a dream
Don’t feel like a human being
Where am I?
This is not my life again
Wheres my home and all my friends?
The walls are falling you can feel it calling
The calls are failing going off the railing
The rails are broken you can feel the open
Air is dirty, ownerless and worthy
The worth is toothless, scandalous and ruthless
The bombs are lovers, energy and others
The kiss is colors, all of em smothered
The love is strong but it carries pain along
The need to be right has made it all wrong
Can’t explain
No scripts but you’re acting
No jokes but you’re laughing
No restrain
No clock but times passing
No jokes but you’re laughing
Let her go
Inside I’m still holding on
Didn’t think I was this strong
Let her know
Can she even hear me now
I believe in it somehow

When This Goes Away
04:01
|

This is the place we're put upon, meant to erase what's been redrawn When this goes away
Conveniently, but at a cost, you can't retrace what has been lost
When this goes away
And when it's all said and done, our battle is not lost or won
It just goes away
We love and love and hug and hug, yet bitter cuts expose our blood when we go away
And looking back I'm so confused, was there ever really a truth?
Did it go away?
It's hard to think that what we used to be feels like abuse to me
Now that it's away
But in my soul, I know there's hope. There's many different ways to cope
When you go away
and I have seen the parthenon explode from all the atom bombs that you built today
The walls did fall and now are gone, but the doric columns still stand on the ground where we lay
and Childhood will go per se, but I know that I'll be okay
When this goes away
