it was warm enough
we sat there gazing
talking about our loves
without knowing what to say
and it was weird enough
two people, new friends
juxtaposed on two fronts
of our romances
last night you were dancin' round the living room
making everyone your friend
i was thinking off to myself,
“how does this guy have the energy to begin?”
you called me the next morning to ask “are you still in?”
and then i remembered our drunken plans
disinclined to move at all
my head still hurt
i felt the throb deep within my skull
but we keep our promises, ow
and you opened up
your struggling soul
whether to let them go or keep it on
but i’d like to know
do you regret farewell
or has the distance been good?
only time can really tell
the worst of it’s gone
to see how much you've grown
after taking the plunge
you find yourself alone
(if it's sinful to seek only pleasure)
what’s the number of
(is it wrong to avoid pain?)
your own growth quorum?
(could there be somewhere in between?)
i suppose i’ll never know

Terpsichore
06:59
|
|||
|
gonna watch your eyes
crawl over in boredom
i steal your line
it feels like the
stiff hunched spines
dionysus release us
sweat and wine
dance like you mean it
i’m just sittin there
thinkin chess
it feels like the perfect time
but it’s hard to be myself
it feels like the perfect time
but everything in the world
don’t watch your feet, yeah
turn it in
you try and shuffle still
but the blood rushes to your head
take it all in stride
you don’t realize
you aren’t the topic
of the night
i find
in these trying times
it’s hard to feel so loved and not a fool
speaking truth
so let’s say, you draw a line and a circle
what happens when you turn it on its head?
what do i do with my hands?
it’s alarming to understand
that there are rules to this whole thing
not known by you
so you stick with the same old moves
terpsichore, be my muse
oh, you bide the ebb and flow
and anguish in your repose
like a pariah
there’s only one way to finally face yourself
so we try it against the rhythm

Middle
04:12
|
|||
|
every once in a while
you try to work it out
you take some time to meet in the middle
feeling like it’s gone down the shitter
oh what? what is it this time?
you say you just don’t deal
with absolutes, you try to make it work
but you feel that all your feelings have gone away
but you’re not sure when
i am not the same
something’s changed
feeling stuck in the shitter all day
what’s worse is the weather’s the same damn thing
seems like, oh, you just had it but you lost it
then a certain loneliness sets in
and it can feel good to scratch that itch
but then you find the time to realign
i feel the turnin’ of the wheel
the time it takes for it to really heal
something’s spoken - daze is broken
you ask, “what’s up?”
and i say, “nothing much”
how do you expend
life in a sentence?

Soft Light
04:10
|
|||
|
you watch the sun go down, the light
is it feeling soft tonight?
a green flash and it’s out of sight
the time is now, the night is right
kaleidoscope eyes, whiskey sprite
glitter, feather scarves, and some disco lights
take your shoes off, the grass is fine
rolling rocks and good times
all i want’s that feeling
a summery dance in the evening
outside, at night
til the sun comes up
and you don't stop moving til the morning
when you're all worn out
pack it up, head on home
euneirophrenia, the perfect word
dance out in the shining light
coked out dj’s spinning chic and nile
the whole world hangs on your smile
as you pirouette through the night
did you really think this wouldn’t end?
that if you stayed out long enough the day’d begin again?
well let me hip you to something you might not understand
that tonight’s the night for desire or regret
so hold me closer
i'm entranced
repeat after me
only now matters
all i want’s that feeling
a summery dance in the evening
outside, at night
til the sun comes up
and you don't stop moving til the morning
when you're all worn out
pack it up, head on home
euneirophrenia, the perfect word

Let You Know
03:23
|
|||
|
i walked out on my own
deep down we’re all afraid we’ll die alone
so i thought i’d let you know
that instead of getting angry
i should have sat and listened
you tried to give a warning
but it seems i couldn’t handle it
my thoughts were racing fast
and i made a snap decision
“oh god, i gotta get outta here
this heaven just isn’t real”
some part of me’s thinkin i might’ve fucked up
but pride is a sickness if you have too much
but now time has passed
the pang of regret, it keeps on stinging
what if i hadn’t insisted on having the last word?
supposedly it heals all wounds
but i know that’s not entirely true
it only seems to continue
this hell that i’ve constructed about you
but in the back of my mind
i wanted to shut up
but once i get going
i can't really stop
oh, i didn't mean to put on airs
oh, i know i don't know everything
you later expressed your hesitations
and i thought that that made sense
but the thoughts that you were harboring
had you questioning my defense
i think about it often
stuck in my own head
layin up at night in bed
wondering if i could've said
something different to you
to mend the disconnect
but therein lies the problem
silence: the best recompense

Restraint
03:38
|
|||
|
i can’t see without everything
lining up in front of me
idle dreams don’t pave the way
to self-discovery
who’s to say what will give
when it’s all been done?
you’re bored with life but afraid of change
is this what i’ve become?
making me feel a bit of restraint
how am i to know,
in my youth, what makes a man
all that he is meant to be?
who’s that staring at me?
i’m not gonna mess around with you anymore
maybe that’s all that i need:
to take some time to figure my life out
i know it’s all some slippery gift that keeps on giving
so i think that i'll try it out
a different outlook on what life could be
it can’t be doing and doing until you reach
the moment when you notice that it’s slipping away
‘cause it doesn’t make sense (ahhh)
a heading with no clear destination
what if you found you were already there?
you’d be free to live in the present
and not focus on the day
at the end of your life
when you feel yourself fading away
who’s that staring at me?
i’m not gonna mess around with you anymore
maybe that’s all that i need:
to take some time to figure my life out
i know it’s all some slippery gift that keeps on giving

Better Than This
03:41
|
|||
|
i don’t think it gets better than this
i don’t think it gets better than this
looking at your fate
you feel like you are lost
trying to communicate
but you just can’t get your point across
so you turn within
to reach the edges of a thought
all that there has ever been
everything that you are not
thought i’d never forget it
i can’t believe it
what was i lookin’ for
that feeling
(won’t you)
feeling so alone
(tell me)
called you on the phone
(something)
that’s gonna change my mind
then i started to feel it
that perfect feeling
that’s gonna change my mind
and if it starts to fade
i think i know the way
that’s gonna change my mind

Come On Brother
04:27
|
|||
|
i wish you hadn't called it, god
i'm so sick of all that shit
forget the fire, reverse its flame
it all was born from a spark
you wrote a little poem that might suffice
you die trying to come up with the word that you're blanking on
arriving at the end
looking down upon the page
is this all good enough
or is something out of place?
but sometimes you have to dust your hands
of the work that you complete
and say that what i have is good
or as good as it'll be, uh huh
I wish you’d never called it art
Or claim to know what it is
Like a dream it came to me
A missing piece to the part
but sometimes the sea
it doesn't break on me
but you hear the call
to keep pushin on
til the day it works out

I'll Wait
03:38
|
|||
|
i'll wait
long enough to take it back
can't be scared rushing in
all of a sudden it depends on my time
there can't be something growing here
'cause one day it could fall
if i go down that road
i might stay down there
see you up above
help me see more clear
i'll wait
so i don't have to feel regret
it's easy hiding from yourself
it's easy hiding what you felt the whole time
there can't be something growing here
'cause one day it could fall
i'll wait
long enough to take it back
can't be scared rushing in
all of a sudden it depends on my time
there can't be something growing here
'cause one day it could fall
is it just that same old fear
the wait before the call?

it’s not like you’ve ever been lonely
it’s not like you’ve ever believed
what am i to do with this feeling?
help is not an arm’s reach away
so i ask you
throw me a bone
(but you’d rather be alone
i’m sorry, but i’m not that kind of guy)
wait, i think i’ll always be sorry
it’s not something i’d ever do
so maybe i should hold you so closely
and promise that i’ll always be true
it's not like you've ever been worried
it's not like you’d admit you're wrong
what if you didn't know the answer?
help is just an arm’s length away
so i ask you
pick up the phone
it started with a misunderstanding
and turned into a full blown feud
now i’m stuck here left wondering
how i failed to see the truth

De-sync
06:14
|

|
are we having the same thoughts?
are we syncing in real time?
are we having the same thoughts?
are we of the same mind?
are we having the same thoughts?
are we syncing in real time?
are we having the same thoughts?
are we of the same mind?
are we having the same thoughts?
are we syncing in real time?
are we having the same thoughts?
are we of the same mind?
i can feel it comin’
i can feel it comin’
i can feel it comin’
it’s always happening
i can feel it comin’
i can feel it comin’
i can feel it comin’
it’s always there
are we having the same thoughts?
are we syncing in real time?
are we having the same thoughts?
are we of the same mind?
are we having sane thoughts?
are we having sane thoughts?
are we having sane thoughts?
are we of sound mind?
well i think that my head’s gone a bit out of place
i can’t tell if i’m logical or if my delusions are blown out into space
well how do you handle
not knowing the perceptions of your best friends
and enemies
and acquaintances
the pretense that we’re all supposed to ground ourselves
and no one will tell you until you’ve gone off the rails
i could be a narcissist or a lunatic or somewhere inbetween
it’s in my genes; something i’m destined to repeat
oh, to reach back into time and shake my younger self
stop fucking around just listen up and listen well
i'm hexed
this feeling like i'm out of my head
unfurling on
it's hard to keep the love when it's gone
so don't stress
it's something i've decided
i won't mess
it's already in the lines of the press
you're designed to feel alone
so keep checking your phone
until you seal the hole
i confess
there are those in my life
who won’t let
me descend into madness
but i wonder,
if we all had this net,
would there be a net effect
stopping pain and neglect?
mmm
