Sat behind the pitcher's mound//
It was a Saturday//
It rained blood//
afterwards in a friends garage//
we made no sound//
because we weren't invited//
Someone said "Go"//
but I don't want to go now//
Someone called but//
I don't want to go now//
because it's too late to be away from you//
it's too late and I've got too much to lose/

Night has come//
I can see you from afar//
Time is of the essence//
We are going nowhere fast//
I can see you coming//
through those miles of waves//
like a burning building//
I can see you coming//
through the waves//
I love it//
yeah I love it//
It hurts to be//
one of a million wannabe's//
Just one at a time//
Twice in a row//
Two by two//
We all go//
I can see you coming//
through those miles of waves//
like a burning building//
I can see you coming//
through the waves//
I love it//
yeah I love it//
It hurts to be//
one of a million wannabe's//
Just one at a time//
Twice in a row//
Two by two//
We all go//
Down in the manger//
You aren't the God//
You're just a stranger//
I know who you are//
After the wine stunt//
We stand and applaud//
We eat the bread and unhinge our jaws//

Last time I saw you//
you were swimming in a pool of aptitude//
and you had broken glass all in your feet//
A swirling black in front of me//
I dreamt you were tied up//
but I'm not afraid//
You've got that thought stuck in your teeth again//
Coming out so subtly//
Come in and out so suddenly//
But I got the right tie around my neck//
But I got the wrong time wrapped around my wrist//
If I'm being honest I thought I'd be somewhere by now//
But now I look in mirrors feeling lifeless and betrayed somehow//
Last time I saw you//
you were swimming in a pool of aptitude//
and you had broken glass all in your feet//
A swirling black in front of me//
I dreamt you were tied//

John Wayne

I'm too stressed out to leave this bar//
and the feeling is mutual//
The silence that we make//
is strange and unusual//
I'm too drunk now to leave my car//
and the feeling is miserable//
The decisions that we make//
are dangerous/inexcusable//
But I would like a break from this house//
You could be the last Greek Goddess I know//
I'm alone in this//
but God all hope is spent//
Cause money is in the way of everything//
I'm too John Wayne to carry scars//
and my ego is measurable//
The side-eyes that I gaze//
could be weaponizable//
But you were in the kitchen with knives//
and I was waiting in line to see//
if the disease had spread//
But I was in constantly//
I was in love with the//
idea that the money could save our dreams//
Pushing the lies to make levy's to stop the lake//
from making a mess of me//
Tell me what time to leave//
But I would like a break from this house//
You could be the last Greek Goddess I know//
I'm alone in this//
but God all hope is spent//
Cause money is in the way of everything//

Idiot

I took the road less traveled//
and I ended up alone//
a thousand miles from home//
Thinking about you baby//
You know//
we don't really have to be//
so damn perfectly impressed//
by our roots of evil//
And they're//
lying on the couch//
and wiping off those flowers from your lips//
Watching TV//
picking out your Sunday Dresses//
trying not to look at your phone//
I need everyone to tell me I'm their best friend//
I will never leave them alone//
I need everyone to tell me I'm their best friend//
Stick around until the very end//

It's so easy being lonely//
with the lovers on the tele//
with the evil in my brain//
that is driving me insane//
with the blood on my talons//
Is it easy being lovely//
with those flowers in your hair//
When my sermon is dull and boring//
I can't keep you from exploring//
the ways of love and living life//
And it's not quite the loneliest feeling//
that I've felt//
No, it's not quite the loneliest feeling//
Yeah I'm staying home//
after work I'm not leaving home//
can't talk, won't leave my room//
when I die, they'll say, "Oh man, yeah, he was doomed from the start"//
It's so easy being ugly//
when there's nothing left to stop me//
when their sermon's dull and boring//
they can't keep me from exploring//
the ways of love and living life//

They wrote your name on the subway walls//
Kids would call it shock and awe//
In the ruins it felt like home//
let's get stoned in the catacombs//
But even if I was on the pills//
naked thrills wouldn't nick the pain//
I just want you to notice//
every moment is all we've got//
Even when in the summertime//
the sun would tie my hands so tight//
Everyone would call us cool//
we'd spite the rules//
even in dull weather//
I just want you to notice//
I thought it was a great idea but I got myself in a hole//
I thought it was a great idea but I got myself in a hole//
Just like I always do on the weekend//
Just like I always do on the weekend//
Someday the light goes out, yeah I know it//
Someday the light goes out, my God I'm scared of it//
Even when your sister called//
the lights went dull, and I went bald//
In the bedroom the songs were cold//
I felt old and less enthralled//
Even when I was on the pills//
the naked thrills didn't feel the same//
I just want you to notice//
every moment is almost gone//
I thought I'd be good but I wasn't, makes myself feel sick//
I thought I'd be good but I wasn't, can't make sense of it//
Just like I always do over again//
Someday the light goes out, yeah I know it//
Someday the light goes out, my God I'm scared of it//

Way Out Of Everything
04:13
|

Started asking around town about you//
I asked the cute girl who works down at whole foods//
she said you moved to Vegas//
or at least was vacationing there//
She saw my limp and thought I was a war vet//
Vietnam but I am a little too young for that//
maybe desert storm//
or one of those Middle Eastern wars//
But I wouldn't go there for no reason//
It's not the hard rock, but I got the 4 seasons//
Lost twenty at blackjack//
I'm not getting that money back//
Sat by dollar slots but never did feed it//
I bought a girl a drink but she didn't need it//
then I looked at her tip jar//
I never do carry any cash//
I need a way out of everything//
Cause I'm guilty of everything//
Lord, what did you do to me?//
Cause I need a reason for everything//
Cause I'm unsure of everything//
Lord, what did you do to me?//
But I was only in town for one season//
I'd be lucky if I slept for more than a wink then//
I bought a flat and a black cat//
I'm not getting that money back//
Sat by dollar slots but never did feed it//
I bought a girl a drink but she didn't need it//
then I looked at her tip jar//
I never do carry any cash//
I need a way out of everything//
Cause I'm guilty of everything//
Lord, what did you do to me?//
Cause I need a reason for everything//
Cause I'm unsure of everything//
Lord, what did you do to me?//
I need forethought//
lost in mall rot//
My therapist says I'm good, but who really knows//
I'm working hard but no one is there for me//

You walk the tight rope//
I'm just a clown//
I know where you work//
I've seen you around//
I asked you out//
the time will go//
Then we'll see where we are at and where we'll go//
Cause only fools like me could go acting so happy forever//
Only fools like me could go acting so happy forever//
I work the night shift//
You sleep in the car//
I like you close//
I like to know where you are//
You broke my nose//
It left a scar//
But I'll bleed in the rain//
in the rain//
Cause only fools like me could go acting so happy forever//
Only fools like me could go acting so happy forever//

Lure in the $ewer
03:08

I caught a rat by its tail//
A phantom pain//
Do you see it's better when I close its eyes//
Floor mat, bottom stair//
I count the rails//
to climb up to you but you see it otherwise//
I can feel Heaven//
Do you think it's better when you close your eyes//
But I hear a voice in the wall now//
Will the dark tempt the light//
like a lure in the sewer?//
I caught a cat by its nail//
A familiar pain//
Do you think it's mercy if it's euthanized
because I do//
and I'm choosing blindness to twist my mind to compromise//
But I hear a voice in the wall now//
Will the dark tempt the light//
like a lure in the sewer?//

I've got a lot of things to think about before you go and read these cards to me//
It's a lover's letter//
I can't forget her//
I've got a lot of places I'd like to go before I go back to the place I live//
It's a constant dreading//
of paranoia//
I've got a lot of poems I'd like to write, a lot of life I'd love to give to you//
It's an easy decade//
if you want it//
But I will save//
what I've been holding tight//
What has gone and passed over//
I've got a lot of changes in my life I'd like to make before its gone from me//
It'll be a while to get it right//
so I hope you keep me company//
She counts the lines on my hands//
I know its bullshit but at least I don't feel lonely//
I've got a lot of time I'd like to spend before they go and take it all from me//
A life with my son//
but I'm only human//
But I will save//
what I've been holding tight//
What has gone and passed over//
And all my words, won't live up to the bitter nothing//
I can taste it//
I've got a lot of changes in my life I'd like to make before its gone from me//
It'll take a while to get it right//
so I hope you keep me company//
She blows the candles out and I get up//
Reach in my wallet just to pay the lady//
She never does quite get it right//
But it's not the destination, it's the journey, or something dumb like that//
