Story
02:01

i wanna tell a story that you've known your whole life - it's embedded in your soul.
there's something wordless in me - i'm afraid i won't say it right.
but i have to try.
i have to try.
but i can't see the sunlight on the brightest of days
there's bitter, cold resentment in every second i waste
but somewhere there's a light on at the end of all days
i hope that you will meet me
and we'll change our ways.

Streetlight
01:29
|
|||
|
woke up crying for the third time in a week
i can't believe i'm wasting my time on all this stupid shit i hate!
this job will either kill me or i'll compromise my morals
and i don't know which is worse, i don't know!
and at midnight, underneath the streetlight
"I'm not alone in the world, I know."
but the systems at play, and my DNA, make this feel like a death cyclone
praying for some kind of resolution
to all of this toxic pollution
beaming right out of my phone
i am sick of staring at the ceiling
"I wish that everything was different."
i say aloud and go to sleep.

Skateboard Amp

wasted 90 days
on feeling like a dick
i don't think i can get anything right
stuck in salad days
the leaves still fall the same
but it never hits quite the same way
i'm running out of time.
skateboard amp to play
was always on the outside
scared that it's too late
nervous - what a waste
i'm always making nothing
i'm a joke these days.
i'm running out of time.

Way Out
02:39
|

i gotta find a way out
i don't know what it is that i need now
when you look at me with those sad, dark eyes
i gotta find my way out
i gotta believe in something
i cant see through the fog of the mess we're in
these days, there's no beacon shining bright within
i gotta believe in something
everyone i know is falling into place while i'm alone
i'll find a better way
i gotta find a way out
i don't know what it is that i need now
when you look at me with those sad, dark eyes
i gotta find my way out.

Sex Thoughts
02:09
|
|||
|
every sex dream is about tenderness now
folding laundry, watching tv, making breakfast
they're not even sexy
it's just where my mind goes
sad thoughts of simpler times
were they really that simple?
maybe i just knew less
am i yearning for ignorance?
...or some vision of how the world should be?
one where we aren't burdened by war crimes and forest fires?
feeling lonely for the millionth time this week
nostalgia's useless - it's a skin for you to shed
someone somewhere out there is waiting for me
sleepy skillet brings the pancakes back to bed

If We Talked
02:39
|
|||
|
"hey, i know it's been a minute, but i hope you had a good day.
i guess i found myself thinking about you for no reason at all."
that's what i'd say if we talked these days.
i'll get it right next time.

Rescue From Without
06:01
|
|||
|
every time i wake
every time i see you in my brain
i don't know what to say
i've been at it for a while
and i don't know what progress i've made
these days it feels impossible to ever change
think you know yourself
little power, and you're someone else
it isn't going well
guess i need a rescue from without
i've been at it for a while
and i don't know what progress i've made
these days it feels impossible to ever change
can't stay this way
tried my best, not good enough
i fucked it up.
i've been at it for a while
and i don't know what progress i've made
these days it feels impossible to ever change
fragments of a better life, arranged

Ride
01:58
|
|||
|
everything is different, now
i don't owe them any emails
i don't owe them anything
everything just glistens now
like a lake or morning dew
or the way i talk to you
feels like i finally opened my eyes
so i bought a bike, and if it takes all night,
i'm gonna ride.

Morning
02:33
|
|||
|
morning after
i don't know what i want
i don't feel any better
i feel like nothing's changed
you will move on
and you will fall in love
and i will still be waiting
for my life to start up
the tide is rolling in
will i sit here every day until i am nothing?
what now?

path of least resistance modus operandi
a self righteous streak, informed by a weakness of character
i'm getting better
but it's not like everything's easy
and god knows days drag on
but my spirit came back to me
and i dont dread the morning sun
think of every moment lost in a hurricane of second thoughts
while numbered days dwindle
i guess what im trying to say is the rain'll come, either way
i don't waste any time, now - experience the moment
for now ill try to build toward a life i'm proud of
feels better, kind of
but it's not like everything's easy
and god knows days drag on
but my spirit came back to me
and i don't dread the morning sun
think of every moment lost in a hurricane of second thoughts
while numbered days dwindle
i guess what im trying to say is the rain'll come, even if you stay
bike down to the river
in the early morning
sit for hours, and try to imagine a future
it's not like everythings easy
but i've had worse mornings than this
and the days go by lightly
for the first time since i was a kid
and now i see the sunlight on the darkest of days
and bitter cold resentment hardly shows its face
and we will be the light on at the end of all days
it's still a work in progress, but i changed my ways.
