Born

new born
nothing wears you out
true form
funnier or loud
think that I've known that doubt
new one
never talk about
get dumb
say it less aloud
I'll take the other route
why trouble why spin out
don't think I’ll be there too
long to really wonder
I’m not gonna ponder
it because its easy,
not because i have to
air is getting breezy
any way to get thru
new born
nothing wears you out
true to form
never talked about
i’ll take the wrong road out

Loaner
02:19
|
|||
A listener, not a talker
Away but not a goner
Floaing in the water, treading away
A thinker not a knower
A keeper for a loaner
A place without a holder,
Somewhere to stay
Putting out the fire
Sleep when I get tired
A storm upon the rider
let it soak thru
now’s no time to be petrified
there’s no time to be petrified
what it isn’t won’t arrive
so catch you on the other side

Faster
02:02
|
|||
an honest effort to convince
a simple getup, a hinted question, a planted lesson, a wakeup
all nondescript and effortless
where does it come from?
feeling unwelcome
seemingly something not to untuck
what’s one good thing about following the answer?
when it’s a runaround, I couldn’t know you faster.
I’m breaking for new ground,
it cuts in the cold
to swallow it whole
accept what i’m told
carry the load
down the old road

Better Past
02:45
|
|||
hoping for a better past is wasted effort when only the future knows
jumping in the water, yeah, I’d learn a lesson. breathe deep even just to hold
feeling kinda nervous, like I’m in the cooker, but don’t know why it’s for
yeah, I guess what happenes happens give me understanding just a little more
happy now,
it’s hard to describe?
it’s a waste of time
staying with the moment
suck it up
can do it somehow
walk the runaround
staying in cause I can
pulling for another chance to do it better
or to leave it undisturbed?
meeting with a meaner habit
you can’t take it back, but you can say it first
i found comfort in consequence
found peace in the ignorance
far out on a shallow ledge
been passed off a heavy stone
can only carry alone
inside of me all along

Let It Go
02:12
|
|||
I know you don’t
Tried so hard, let it go
I know I won’t for long
The freeze, the flow
Now’s a good time to fold
Thought it was gold, it’s gone
Agreement broke
Tend only to my own
Felt like the joke was on
Can see the trees,
Theyre not registering
The feeling’s fleet, for naught
|

Glow
03:08
|
|||
set it outside the glow
if at all, cost unknown
looking in, sift thru awe,
spin into a busy fall
sitting it out at all
even when i’m down, i’m watching it all from a mile away
even though I’m down I’m watching it
even though i’m out, i’m washing that stich without inching away
even when I’m down, I’m watching it
never leave my light on if I am frightened
all inside my mind, I think I found a way in
can’t be satisfied strolling toward the peak, and
settled on the side - found myself a good friend

Blue
02:27
|
|||
I’d do whatever I have to
Get through another morning
Unknown whatever was told, and now’s soon
Rains when it’s pouring
Come back,
I didn’t mean it like that
Routine
Saying anything I believe
I’m closer to the core
When nothings perfect
If ever worth it
Not bad. Give up whatever I could have
To find composure
Timed wrong, don’t notice until it’s a close call
Flippin it over
It’s not even like that
And not like I could disagree
I’m not gonna go there
As long as it’s unhealthy

Learning
01:34
|
|||
Not going back
Like in the summer
Half-hearted nihlist
Markin my tracks
Threw out the scorecard
Been better stayin in
Crossed the threshold,
Said I’d never
Let it get that far again
Know what I don’t,
The party’s over.
Lights on, I’m back in bed
Learning to accept it
See if it reveals any holes
Looking for perspective
Working out the knots in the hold
Wanting now to feel it
But it couldn’t stay what I’d known
Tryna not to destroy it
Time to put it down, let it soak

In the Car
02:36
|
|||
in the dark, in the car
pass it over
took too long, see it off
days are somber
half a smile, half as much
holding over
play the song, play along
pay it forward
skip the scenes, crunch the leaves
dozing often
something new, something’s loose
in the forest
sad at then, mad at now
always on it
never peace, give to me
i’m begging for
it once
i’ll have it twice
a funny means, a better time
bending it back, keep it in place
humming along. making a face
in the car
might be far, pace it hard
ended up
getting what?
in the dark

Back Again
02:21
|
|||
There and back again
Wondered what it’s like
Seeing comfort there, everybody sighs
Let go, no control, can if I’m alive
down and up the coast, seeking where I’ll hide
Getting older got scared I'd lose the drive
all’s for nothing, and years wasted inside
I’ll stumble in the dark, grasping for a line
empty handed and begging for time
Drone on
Racing toward the dawn
I can’t decide
Sleep in, besting all the bets again
An inch behind
Believe my eyes
Will do it right,
Right?
|

Don't Mind
02:34
|
|||
seek it
you know you find it only when you’re freakin
depend
rely upon yourself when you are deep in
don’t mind
the time that’s slipped away while you looked inside
peeking
through fingers opened up enough to see light
think to raise the blinds by the time that it is dark
go sit on the porch, take a walk around the park
wish I could get lost, but I know it in my heart
fishin for some matches but they’re troubled for a spark
and now i’m walking down the block with a jangle in my step
pockets feeling bare, but that’s not what i take with
and the only thing I know is I gotta do my best

Hook
02:23
|
|||
what does this one look like?
what’ve I resigned
what’ll this one look like
little later down the line
but the meaning’s lost now
and i’m doing just fine
sinker’s lost the hook now
but i’m treading alright
wish i knew, wish there was a way to know
everything I’ve felt under the setting sun
wishing that i didn’t feel so fuckin dumb
tending to my garden,
tryna let guard down
ok to be tender,
whether or not you’re around
matter’s not the weather
caring less for time
but a sequence ordered,
thinkin that’s my kind
try to get something right
heading out towards the light
knowing that I don’t, and that’s fine
couldn’t have asked for more -
just enough to ignore.
hello laying low, keep it high
