So Vaguely Right Now
04:21
|
|||
|
I feel your heartbeat skitter against me
Why speak so vaguely right now?
I am quickly overcome.
Contact. Verbal cataract.
Meet me with venomous eyes.
Step back. Give me space
To rethink what I wanted to find
And soon the right words come to me
To feel what I've got going on.
And you could've stared right past me for years
without me catching on.
I filled the niche, but I know now that it's time to talk.

Head on Collision
04:59
|

|
Someday friend write me a letter.
Do drop it off in time.
You won't believe it, but I could act just fine.
Oh, I'd head home.
Drive through town.
Become lovers to be a car head on.
Took a lot to tie you down
To prop you up
To sleep a silent night
Took a lot to hire guns
To face each word
To calibrate a chance
Took a shape that turns no side
To show my love
To kill our conscious designs.
It's ticking too fast
It's ticking too slow
The clock on the wall
The older we grow
I left you at last
I phoned you to know
To doctor the cause
To sell your clothes
Everyone else hanging around
Standing too close
Heads hanging towards ground
[Kill you off]
Even if a neon sign appears
It wouldn't call me back to you my dear
Even if I saw your face in the crowds
Wouldn't make a difference now.

Still Lives
04:59
|
|||
|
Take what I need and then run away
Change up pace to race my shadow home
Jaded eyes are not the answer
I need a hand to help myself when I'm alone
Still lives we fought against till we were drunk and tired

Beside the Point
05:11
|
|||
|
I was only half of me
Some common hopes behind stranger eyes
And through the world anonymously
I followed footsteps to the next sunrise
I twist my life into a targeted response.
Check my daydreams outside your house.
Ask my worries if they could kindly stop.
Take a vacation. See the old sights.
Whether or not I loved you is beside the point
I know nobody else.
I was only half asleep
With tired truths refracting active lies
Inside a world receding from me
I saw the sun set on a distant life.

Gist
04:18
|
|||
|
Tonight all the brains are wet
I am my own next best hope to make it home
I can feel through the summer sweat
The chill of a day gone by yet
Still unknown
I'm just drifting away again
Enough, enough I got the gist of every word I'll hear you say
Walk it back to the start
Shaking my hand when you're falling apart
Kicking off boots when you've still got a long way
Waking to laugh and I know you're at fault
Holding that up but I need you now lovely

Foot Race
05:37
|
|||
|
Easier answers
I'll try and field your questions
With the sun in my eyes
Your heart swimming in mine
A signal cautions
A foot race clocked by pauses
All this harm
Why don't you call me?
Why don't you answer?
I've got the sun in my eyes
Talking to the cancer
Your words reaching even farther than some…

No Content Left
04:40
|
|||
|
Jump. Hold. Dive. Analyze.
I can't do anything else.
Just the frame, no content left.
There's nothing here.
Why am I trying? Why am I looking so hard right now?
With nothing found…
Why am I trying? Why am I looking so hard right now?

Adaptive Re-Use
05:56
|
|||
|
I take you dancing
Dumb feet, I'll drive us home again
I take you sailing
Cross lines, I'll motor back to shore
In your eyes I fly—
To be myself is all ok
In my mind I know
I'll be myself when you're away
Oh, why don't you follow?
Oh, why don't you follow me?
We go dancing
We go sailing
You be honest
I'll be fine

Side-Effect
05:10
|
|||
|
Take weekend on the coast
Give a toast
Highways— hanging out the window a side-effect
Shake a fist. Hold it out.
Roundabout dizzy now…
With my head ringing and your past screaming out loud
It don't stand to reason that context won't beat us down
Full steam ahead anyway.
In the mirror, no one I know
Ready the knot
Follow through with the fall
Take a chance on everything else
Fuck it, baby. I got no wherewithal
Everything else is a wasted chance
Vertigo complex and I must unwind
Take a tight turn and I spin off the highway
Oh, I make it easy to act like you know it all
Everything else is a ghost a ghost a ghost—
A side-effect of me.

Dead Weight
04:17
|
|||
|
I tiptoe downstairs just to trip in the dark.
Listen to the fridge buzz, its comforting sounds.
When I fall asleep I'll go back to the start.
A ticking clock is all need
A harried heart at highway speed
Until it drops beneath the sheets
In hospice wing with fucked up dreams
A chance I knew
A smile I grieve
A teenage kiss that plants a seed:
I'm not dead weight
I'm not dead weight
Not dead weight
Not dead weight
