Ripples in the Wrot

ripples in the wrot of me
was it worth the fantasy?
are you down?
play a simple tragedy
past pathetic masterpiece
im so down.
i can't make it through
with just making do
so i follow through
cuz i don't ever wanna say i lost you.

Bandaids pt. 1

don't pretend like
it was no big deal
when i broke your heart how did it feel?
when you broke mine
it was muteless
couldn't shake off the chronic looseness
in a small way i was glad to be
no longer the part time pet peeve
in a big way now i miss you
silver lines in the shade in front of me
but it feels so good being mad at me
silver lines in the shade in front of me
but it feels so good being bad at me
try and understand
when i see you driving i feel so bad
down the same old roads with a brand new man

how come i couldn't see
i thought i had more control
it's better with you and me
than spending our time alone

In Moss
02:22
|
|||
|
caught in the drain snake
covered in moss
nobody wants you
nobody needs you now
youre all washed away
covered in morning
chasing afternoons
I'm a beginner 4 life in love in spite
of all the things i put you through
youve been right so long
feels good getting caught in the middle
of what was said and done
feels good getting caught for a little

Glued to the Handles
01:47
|
|||
|
hold on to you
glued to the handles
thinking about
decoding the signals
i don't know what
the deal is without you
thinking alone
im thinking about you
i don't want you to go so im leaving too
walking around on the phone
i just want you to know that im leaving soon
talking about going home
while im walking around on the phone
going dark ill be on my way
i won't think about anything
what do you want me to bring

Still Life
03:06
|
|||
|
do you think that you could be someone
to ride the tilt a whirl and have no fun at all
when everyday you paint a rotten bowl of fruit
it could be rotten now but it's still life
you put the quarter in expect the entire ride
im just wanna know if you're inside at all
there's a few of us
i don't have to be down
that's true enough
do you still believe in rock and roll
the only artifact that you can still control
im just making sure that you're alright
there's a few of us
i don't have to be down
that's true enough

Cannonball
01:36
|
|||
|
we're getting high on an empty promise
there's no telling what we're tired of
we can just pretend im honest
just to see what the damage does
i feel so heavy lately
i feel like a cannonball
the same waves i see you making
i crave like a rabid dog
got me in your aim let me go
if it means the same let me kno
you got me in your aim now let me go

F-150
02:03
|
|||
|
anything must be good even sweating up a hill we understood
cracked in the same 3 seats the treasures of the summer hidden underneath
oh you feel it coming
don't stop now don't stop running
you're tied to the things you wanted
a spade in the dirt outta keep em honest
i wanna be back there
feeling outside in the garden
as the songs of the slackers seem to echo
it's over now
it feels like only yesterday
we couldn't count
the days that we had left to say
goodbye for now
so long to all those easy days
it's over now
it's over now
it seems like only yesterday
goodbye for now

Perfect from the Clutch
01:46
|
|||
|
off the leash trying to make it over
getting closer to the target ahead
and further from the start
reel it in holding some composure
driving with the e brake engaged
but perfect from the clutch
it aint hard to feel enough
drive around the avenue a second time to be with you
all i ever wanna do is drive around the avenue
now im stuck like a splinter
caught in the palm of your hand
if you squint your eyes you'll see that you pulled out a winner
when im with her

Impossible Object
01:03
|
|||
|
found it in my hand
an impossible object
shaped exactly like yours
for 1000 years
now ive seen it all before
seen a cop on a skateboard
after my eyes have adjusted
im still so green
caught in a constant riddle
give my regards to the ghosts
for making me feel so little
for keeping my eyes on the road

Ungloo'd
02:22
|
|||
|
sting me softly little bee
it's where you fly your fortune follows
just as long as your heart belongs to me
i don't mind the little things
it's little league it's not a big deal
to be caught between a rock and a cloud of steam
but i can't even lick my lips undry
it's like im smoking past the line
migraines all the time
shot me softly through my funny bone
it wasn't all just fun and games
nothing's been the same
since the day you came unglued

Be Nice
00:38
|
|||
|
if you wanna be cool you gotta break all the rules
you gotta know what to do
you say you wanna be nice
you always wanna be nice
or that you wanna be nice
but you don't have to play nice

Flowers in the Firepit
01:26
|
|||
|
flowers in the firepit
they're grownin fast but sure to crisp
rooted through these dormant coals
like candlesticks some years ago
as the minute-hand controls the match
i can't burn them
i can't pull them
i can't hurt them
trying to keep the roots attached
as i pull them
i won't hurt them
cuz i love them
