1.
A Rough wake up on my back Bones bristling Cool runnings on my deck Broken fingers on display All in my head An elegant ballet See a distraction On the sidewalk Delayed reaction Some pavement sweet talk See a distraction High times on my ride On the sidewalk Delayed reaction High times on my ride Some pavement sweet talk
2.
Sleeping on the floor Another night of folklore A scribbled out face lies next to the space i think i am These golden walls aren't welcoming, where do they lead? Lurking hallway Stain remaining Two weeks from now These golden walls aren't welcoming, repeating Corporate! Party! Nauseous! Parley! Sleeping on the floor Another night of folklore A scribbled out face lies next to the space i think i am
3.
You let it all out Then the overcast swallowed the earth You said “it’s gone now” Far down the winding road Fell back in that hole Patience sways Inspiration just degrades Hallowed place framed inside an aging mind You let it all out Then the overcast swallowed the earth You said “it’s gone now” Far down the winding road Fell back in that hole Someday, somewhere Contentment will return You will be whole then The ocean and the hillside Forever rolling on Even when we’re gone
4.
Afternoon A dim lit airport hotel bar rendezvous An exchange Some debt paid for some truth Microfilm and documents too In the lobby Make believe for the camera Dawn I wake to find you and my briefcase long gone (Wait…) On the lamb For a moment you’re here Then into thin air again Here I am Our moment was brief But one I’ll never forget They’ll never find you now
5.
Two lives cut ties; a franchise a train wreck Substances waste my time the cure breaks my mind but in time, with luck ill learn to rewind and find that kid lets find that kid Derailed beyond recall hoping that the process will prove more than a false sense of progress he's scattered wreckage beyond the void Sometimes I still feel him there buried under fear and cheap beer silenced by ego and depravity, dependance I let him go now I depend on the afterglow; the free throw the after-show
6.
Focus and stay awake now, branch out and discover baseline Be present and stoic to cross threshold the truest belief finds place through fabrication I came to say I meant to be there A coffee stain and melted lampshade make it so unclear its in my blood to bend and break A choice to make conflicting thoughts collide they fuck with my mind shattered self-esteem I reach for the wool I reach for the lie Impasses mark our timeline but in my bones I know its borrowed light crowded, I can’t escape now blackout, I couldn’t make it home
7.
Discouraged to see you uplifted Perfect your crying on cue Gifted some words to your mistress She took it as something to prove Second in a silver scene Linings painted just for us to see I can hear you describe the dependence Even gave it an exotic name Summed it all up in a sentence Then awaited ovations in waves Another time around I guess I wish it helped to know what’s coming next Did that old phantom stir up a past of parallels? Talk of who you were like you’re somebody else I’m so eager to talk to you So eager to talk of how you were So eager to talk to you So eager for you to get better
8.
A Cold War was stirring in the corner Long before my first carnal display Quiet and crazed faith guiding how I explore Followed too closely Now nothing gets me off Like given in slowly To thinking I know is flawed An encore rehearsed before the curtain A dull sword drawn toward the balcony Recitative strained to reach its highest form Demon or Angel Now Nothing gets me off Like being ungrateful For internal dialogue I just need place my brain can anchor An answer that can’t change I could write it down Recite it til it helps Ya know the most important things your told are what you tell yourself I could make a plan That’ll make it stop And be free of premeditated afterthought I love that idea Wish that ideas helped Ya know the most important things your told are what you tell yourself
