Hopes High
01:34
|
|||
Days are drifting sun to moon
Everything new is going to be old soon
Maybe we could see this through
Maybe it’ll be dead before noon
Walking with their hopes so high
Their world is about to get wide
For now it’s just alright
Every morning in a row
Wake up in a bed just to carry a load
Never know how you have been
Maybe you take it all for granted
Walking with their hopes so high
Their world is about to get wide
The shit’s been kicked outright
Walking with their hopes so high
Their world is about to get wide
For now it’s just alright

Me and My Friends
03:37
|
|||
Sometimes is all we do
Ever pushing forward
To meet our que
Everybody bends
Except for me and my friends
Take it on
Kick it with them
Sometimes, somehow, and somewhere
To survive is to dare
Not to prove that you care
Everybody bends
Except for me and my friends
Take it on
Kick it with them
Hold until our number’s looking up at the marquee
Fall into formation with a wolf-like loyalty
Defenders of our street
Determined as athletes
I’m not in search of meaning
All the ancient readings
Can be misleading
Everybody bends
Except for me and my friends
Take it on
Kick it with them
Hold until our number’s looking up at the marquee
Fall into formation with a wolf-like loyalty
Defenders of our street
Determined as athletes

Don't B Schooled
03:23
|
|||
So you thought by now you’d be more prolific
But you have only seen the Pacific
Someone turns to you and says “Hey, get with it”
But what does anybody know, the heuristic?
They’re making plans
Give commands
You say you will
That’s what they like to hear
But it’s not what you love to do
Don’t be fooled by age old rules
Schooled, so play it cool
Don’t, don’t worry about the time that you’ve wasted
Stop and think of all the life that you’ve tasted
They’re making plans
Give commands
You say you will
That’s what they like to hear
But it’s not what you love to do
Don’t be fooled by age old rules
Schooled, so play it cool
They say life’s short
Feeling bored
They say life’s short
Be a good sport
Get a clue
Maybe they turn the screws
Baby, it just won’t do
Don’t be fooled by age old rules
Schooled, so play it cool

Glance
03:12
|
|||
Maybe we’ll exchange a glance
Meet upon a happenstance
Used to hang around here too
If I notice you
Maybe we’ll exchange some words
But I don’t think I’d find the nerve
How it burst to steam
Where lava meets the sea
I know
We fell through
Leave it there and un-repaired
And if the blood runs cold
I’ll pretend I’m feeling bold
Maybe we might even touch
Either way I’d be awestruck
Just to see your aging face
In a common place
It’s changed
We fell through
Leave it there and un-repaired
And when you’re finally found
I think you’ll come around

Snooze
04:07
|
|||
All the things that I know
Don’t mean much on my pillow
We’ve all got so much inside
I just can’t face it so I run and hide
When the evening comes, let’s snooze
In the midday sun, let’s snooze
What about the things left unsaid
Think I’ll sleep upon it instead
Out with the lights and into your bed
Time to get you out of your head
We’re all just drops in the stream
Jump in for yourself and see what I mean
Maybe I’ll rest when I’m dead
Leave you to judge the life I’ve led
Try and take it slow
Close your eyes with the lights down low
Things ain't what they seem, let’s snooze
Hung up on a dream, let’s snooze
You could wake yourself from sleeping
But you can’t take a break from breathing
Counting the decisions you dread
Time to get you out of your head
Just another drop in the stream
Just in for yourself and see what I mean
Stuck inside a theme, let’s snooze
Before I make a scene, let’s snooze

Catch 22
02:46
|
|||
Fiction will fade in
I read an inch between lines
Deep in the spine
Is a truth I can’t define
Mystery solves it
That’s just how it goes
Nobody really knows
Catch 22
I’d be damned if I knew
Check your convictions
Philosophers and critics
The saints and the cynics
All bracing for the big finish
Think you’re in control now
That’s just how it goes
Everyone thinks they know
Answer 42
I can’t explain it to you
That’s just how it goes
Nobody really knows
Catch 22
I’d be damned if I knew
I can’t explain it to you
No, I can’t explain it to you

I was alone with my thoughts
And was up too late
Couldn’t change the truth
Tried to change the shape
You know it’s easiest to judge
Hard to run the race
I was aching for home
But I was stuck at third base
At third base
When I’m done
I’ll be calm
Not doing this for fashion
I’m not dying just to find the answers
All the time
There was a trailhead
And I climbed a way
To watch the sunset on
On the interstate
You know I would be home by now
But the trains are running late
I made a promise then
But I gave it away
Gave away
Adventure
At leisure
I do it for the pleasure
I’m not trying to justify the answers
All the time

Shallow
03:23
|
|||
When the sky falls you’ll be telling me it’s all the same
Your pride on display and it’s thicker than a lion’s mane
I like to live in the flicker of a candle’s flame
But you’re too good for that, too busy trying to win the game
Cuz you’re shallow
Bottom of the pool with you
Shallow
Everyone’s a fool for you
Tell me
Everything is easy when you’re shallow
I like the breeze but you think you’re high above the earth
You must be blind not to see it all for what it’s worth
Cuz you’re shallow
Bottom of the pool with you
Shallow
Everyone’s a fool for you
Tell me
Everything is easy when you’re shallow
You make believe you have the upper hand
I do my best to be the bigger man
But you will try to take credit for that
Applaud yourself as the diplomat
Cuz you’re shallow
Bottom of the pool with you
Shallow
Everyone’s a fool for you
Tell me
Everything is easy when you’re shallow

What a Thing
03:03
|

Lines of love never do run smooth or so I’ve been told
He makes my blood run hot, but the words all come out cold
You know I’m a sullen angel, Baby, but I know romance
Got ourselves locked in a tangle twisted up in this dance
I’m reminded how I love you
Oh, what a thing for me to do
Kiss me in the dark at night where no one else can see
We’ll tell tales of our past and whisper secret dreams
Rolling mountain, rippling stream, my excitement’s to the brim
About to burst at the seems but I’m too stubborn to let you win
I’m reminded how I love you
Oh, what a thing for me to do
Every time you come around
My web spins until it’s spiral bound
Every time you come around
My head spins until I hit the ground
I’m reminded how I love you
Oh, what a thing for me to do

Burst and Bloom
02:26
|
|||
Has time begun
Or just moved on
Simple as a beat
The tide swiftly retreats
I tread the water there a thousand frames
A second I don’t have
Held behind the lense cap
Timeless hands
I’ll never, never, never be through with you
Hold me then
Pause this moment
Waiting there
Saying that you’ll never be through with me
Tell me then
How time goes on
At six o’clock
We’re lost in talk
Clueless as a deer
The sun clipse on a blue sphere
Timeless hands
I’ll never, never, never be through with you
Hold me then
Pause this moment
Waiting there
Saying that you’ll never be through with me
Tell me how
All things come to burst and bloom
Only to perish as soon
Fixed limitless bounds
Believe me now

Ever Matters Change
04:59
|
|||
I set a fiery truth with flint and spark
Conveyed the fiercest truth to make cagey lips fall apart
Lay it on your heart
Ever matters change
Why do you inspire such a thought within me
Such debilitating fever that I would consider
To cross the black cat's path, take it further than that
I'll absorb the pressure because I'm just that certain
I'd hike the ridges of your shoulder blades
Shoot through the pine, sip on steam, just to prove that I'm brave
Ever matters change
Bracing at the start
Why do you inspire such a thought within me
Such debilitating fever that I would consider
To cross the black cat's path, take it further than that
I'll absorb the pressure because I'm just that certain
