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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
