The Friends

The friends are trying to pull me in
will I sink or will I swim?
I'm tired again
again I'm up against the wind
just trying to lean it in
the more you stand you bend
Extend a hand but then pretend,
A moment then regret,
I'm tired again.
Again I'm going with your plan,
just trying to fit in,
I send then I rescind.

Make Believe

Make believe we're in love with a savior
who's messing around with our heart
Let's make believe it's a dress up day
and we all get to slip on a part
Tiny things that break me down slowly
making me distraught
happily with my eternal stranger
this happiness is bought
If you were thinking that I'm ok
I am sorry to bust that apart
Deep in my chest of costumes and playthings
I find what I need to get on
Now let's pretend that you really love me
you threw yourself in at the start
I'll get you off, but you'll never leave me
cause everything else is so grey

Chasing A Song, Carry On

She said you're lucky that you don't want me
you stay where you are, you're just nobody
now don't get me wrong, your look's rather sharp
just wish you would care about me a lot
And I replied, she was not wrong
I retired chasing, I'm chasing a song
no one ever heard, call me crazy
but here in my head I sing every word
Everyone carry on
This is what you get, you get from me
Don’t worry this is fun
I swear this is fun, it’s fun for me
Demons and goblins might take me away
I wake on the shoreline, she'll beg me to stay
but I'll hurry back and search for a rhyme
cause I'm nobody and I left me behind
and I recall sensationally
the touch that I sought always slipped from me
but I never cared cause though it's absurd
that song in my head I sang every word
Everyone carry on
This is what you get, you get from me
Don’t worry this is fun
I swear this is fun, it’s fun for me
Everyone carry on
This is what my mind just likes doing
Don’t worry It’s my song
There’s no way to know where it’s going

I'm walking down the street, I'm walking into you
I got a new fancy beat, in this moment it's the truth
do you see them staring? They wish that they could be
In these boots I'm wearing, yeah they wish that that were me
I'm the man I wished I could be
bottom side up gazing so heavily
so unusual to see me let it fly
eyes follow me everywhere like a child
Take two steps forward, I take three back it's just for fun
they all wish they were knowing, I'm not understood by anyone
do you see them staring? They wish that they could be
In these threads I'm sporting, yeah they wish that that they could be
I'm the man I knew I could be
sunny-side up reverberating naturally
lend me your eyes and watch me let it fly
eyes follow me everywhere like a child
I'm the man I wished I could be
bottom side up gazing so heavily
so unusual to see me let it fly
eyes follow me everywhere like a child

Contemplating You
03:19

No use looking back now
It’s all just playing around town
Went to bed, in the morning light
And I woke up when the sun goes down
Stuffed that life into a box
stashed it up upon the highest shelf
but like a siren it still calls to me
And I'm contemplating you
Tired from sleeping on the floor
I just can’t do that anymore
There’s a time and a place for that
It’s just something that lives in the past
and at night sometimes I wonder
breath so close I can even taste
like a siren I keep calling back to you
And I'm contemplating you

Holiday
02:16
|

|
And in the end we left behind
the light ahead
never was blind but did not see
in front of me
tearing pages and skipping ahead to the part I was sure
was in both of our heads
why does it hurt so much to leave
what I've never seen
And it's a holiday from feeling like I do
Perfect chink on the glass the dew on the grass
lingering so
I fix a frame on the wall before the shot
again and again
I need to slow down the tape and stop splicing away
the moments staring me in the face
drink it in this is where we begin
to leave us behind
And it's a holiday from feeling like I do

Arcade
03:55

Your words keep falling on the ground
I turn away and burrow down
like a mole that's seen the sun
And when you try and reach me
I change my look my leaning
so you can't shine a light
on everything you see
Your parade streams right by my eyes
an arcade so super sized
And when you try and reach me
I change my thoughts my insides
So you can't shine a light
on everything you see
All right, I'm good to go
ready for lights in Tokyo
I'm spinning out and caving in
In the dark the colors bleed
crustaceans soar beneath the sea
but when your floodlight hits me
my glittering fades quickly
so please don't shine a light
on everything you see
All right, I'm good to go
ready for lights in Tokyo
I'm spinning out and caving in
Good night, out ya go
into the light so take it slow
we're cynical and alien
