Ten Dollar Bills

I've seen such dark devotion that I can't seem to drink the potion in this known never ending bottle of christ
Tic toc run for the covers it's a last call, a warning, brother. Grab all the useless objects you want
I cannot pray right, and I'm not a playwright
Ten dollar bills hang in front of your eyes, no deception just flat out lies
Take some time to familiarize, because everything I thought I knew was not right
Wake up it's your alarm clock telling you that it's morning somewhere
Not sure where you last set it, next time you can't forget it
You could have been somebody by now but did you save enough for your house?
Just borrow all the money you need until your death you'll never be freed

Buzz

You've got a joint in hand, you've got your cigarette
you've got this thought in your head that you don't know where you are
and it don't matter because you don't know where you are
You see a police vest, you start to break a sweat
little voice in your head says you don't know where you are
it don't matter because you know just where you are
it don't matter because you've got a buzz
So sick of moving in, my mind fragments again
it's just a pattern of my life, and what it's become

Like Spinning Tops

All these people don't know me, their just sewing up my seems
every morning wake to see, another day I must complete
Little tears cover my jeans and all the rips that no one sees
thread by thread follows my feet until I'm naked in the street
I'm dizzy, I'm threading
de-threading, like I'm a spinning top
I'm a book I cannot read, I'm a bird that binds it's beak
I'm not a man, I'm just me and I'm not quite sure what that means
shoe untied, you're pointing at my lace
socks not matched, you tell me I'm a basket case
I don't mind because you're not looking at my face
and you can't tell how high I am at the break of day

Somersault
04:41

Try a somersault, like we did when we were young
you should know I will break your fall trying to forget you all
Sentiment and curtain call, show me who you really are
you're not the child that I once knew, stop pretending it's 2002
Who am I?
Friends in my mind
Fireworks, they will burn out
skinned your knee now filled with doubt
"Tattle tale" I scream and shout
I can't keep my mouth shut
And now here we are, ignoring texts and dodging calls
you're just not doing much at all, and I can't have that anymore

Wanderlust
04:18
|
|||
|
Years will pass and some will last but I'll keep looking through the past
I learn nothing from myself, mom and dad I need some help
Let's not slow down let's not stop
let's take some time to skip some rocks from shore to shore
they've sunk I'm sure
I have nowhere else to be, seven years in front of me
Screeching tires come to a halt
Find a way for people to exalt me in my life again
They don't know the joy I find walking off the dotted line
Here we are, we've found someone, but I am moving to another country for a younger girl
I'm sorry you trusted me, wanderlust is not pretty

Pull the car inside
don't trust this neighborhood at night
this is the second time
paranoid insomnia
and though we touched our lips
I wanted a few more sips
You didn't get what you needed
and I didn't get what I want, for the first time
I wonder if I am the kind of guy
to give a feeling rise
and then just let it die

Rose Pedalling
06:14

|
Alone I sit in my sheets, wallowing in my dreams
but where did you go? For I cannot cope without you
Soft lips they linger
Five inches beneath, her
oh my I cried waving goodbye to the time
The love that you gave me I bought
rose pedaling in my thoughts
Tell me you want me and my infatuatory feelings
you're so caught up in the ideal image of me
I will tell you everything
my hands clasped, I'm kneeling
world's await me, I wish you could see it with me
