We could go out, or maybe we could stay in
Jesus Christ on the electric pole, transformer blown again
When you finally wake up from your disco nap
Maybe you’ll explain nothing in the cenotaph
Oh, did I rouse you with my whisper shouts?
Credit cards for spiders, Didi’s elbow got gout
I do look around and wonder if that’s good for you
We’re the only band in poor town, now let’s kick out the jams
Every time I come around, I found you’re already gone
Wasting time on needless things, and we wake up on your lawn
Every time I come around, I found you’re already gone
Wasting time on needless things, and we wake up on your lawn
Every time I come around, I found you’re already gone (When you find me)
Wasting time on needless things, and we wake up on your lawn (Please remind me)
Every time I come around, I found you’re already gone (When you find me)
Wasting time on needless things, and we wake up on your lawn (Please remind me)
Every time I come around, I found you’re already gone (When you find me)
Wasting time on needless things, and we wake up on your lawn (Please remind me)

A Fossil In Her Shadow
03:04

When it came to pass and she was floating
She let go of you, she let go of you
She promised no one that she would make it right
She chose joy instead, she chose joy instead
She’s leaving all this bullshit
Behind her
You’re a fossil in her shadow
And you don’t mean, shit to this queen, just a fossil
She let go
That don’t serve her
You’re a fossil in her shadow
You’re a fossil in her shadow, just a fossil in her shadow
She checked down with no one, only she knew
Only she knew, only she knew
She don’t need a talk, and she don’t need your good advice
She chose love instead, she chose love instead
She’s leaving all this bullshit
Behind her
You’re a fossil in her shadow
And you don’t mean, shit to this queen, just a fossil
She let go
That don’t serve her
You’re a fossil in her shadow
You’re a fossil in her shadow, just a fossil in her shadow
As she found her sunshine, she was 50 feet tall
Find what’s hurting you, find what’s hurting you
Wasn’t good, wasn’t bad, it was only what it was
Like a leaf falling, just a leaf falling
She’s leaving all this bullshit
Behind her
You’re a fossil in her shadow
And you don’t mean, shit to this queen, just a fossil
She let go
That don’t serve her
You’re a fossil in her shadow
You’re a fossil in her shadow, just a fossil in her shadow

Escape Hatch

Another wasted moment
You had your chance
Blew it again
It was right there
Maybe one day
You’ll figure it out
This is why you never fall in love
This nasty correspondence
Was sadly within myself
Didn’t want to talk
To myself like that
I needed to escape
With no way out
I had no one to turn to alone
This is how I figured to fall in love
And this is how I figured to fall
And I am holding hands for the first time
With a friend I’ve been missing for far too long
I don’t like the way you talk to me
And I, I am not all alone
And I, I just can’t to meet this
Absent kindness, and find my way home
This is how I figured to fall in love
And this is how I figured to fall
Had to break up with my own cruelty
I was ready to find you, and you to find me

I Let You Find Me

Locked up my car keys
In your car
No one is listening
Turn on your mic
I can’t see the movie
Sir this is Wendy’s
I always get so turned around when the world is constantly putting me down
I need to lay down
And self soothe myself
Then I’ll roll over
Soothe my bottomself
The gossip hits so nice
Coming straight from the grape vine
Gonna interrupt your expertise with my confidence
Let’s not be too hasty
How Houdini died
Punch in the gut
Or a boot in the eye
Sunshower on Tuesday
And a scotch on the rocks
What the world needs right now is just one villain to blame
Mounted above his mantle sat a moonbat
I asked what that was, said a bat from the moon
That’ll do fine, he smiled, and fed me more gin
I let you find me
If we weren’t all crazy, then we’d all be in love
A double crossed messenger with a heart from above
In love with a writer, who has nothing to say
I let you find me
We haven’t seen this spirit since nineteen fifteen
World wasn’t on fire and the air felt safe
The time we had coming was gonna be a ride
I let you find me
Happiness is a unmovable feast
Now get your ass up the fuck right out of my seat
Sorry for the language, ma - I’m usually demure
I let you find me
If we weren’t all crazy, then we’d all be in love
A double crossed messenger with a heart from above
In love with a writer, who has nothing to say
I let you find me
I haven’t seen this spirit since twenty fifteen
World wasn’t on fire and the air felt safe
The time we had coming was gonna be a ride
I let you find me
If we weren’t all crazy, then we’d all be in love
A double crossed messenger with a heart from above
In love with a writer, who has nothing to say
I let you find me

Alucinação

A billion brilliant Brazilian chameleons
I heard bullets whistle by, there was something charming in the sound
Let me tell you what Carl Jung said, try to get it into your head
Until the unconscious is conscious, it will direct your life, you will call it fate
Approach an acceptable level of your best competence
This out of work jester is nobody’s fool

I don’t want to hear
What you want
If I ever heard
Words from your mouth
No one dared to speak
Sad complicit mutes
Watch us slowly choke
On blackest tongues
Everybody, everybody talks so much but nobody, nobody listens that much
You realized, all these signs
I can’t stand to hear I’m wrong, Could you whisper the news to me
Ain’t that much to change in myself
Cuz there ain’t too much to ask of myself
And I don’t ever want to think about you
Cuz you don’t ever think the way that I do
I have the sweet salvation I need
Directly from my news channel feed
And we all want to fear the same damn things
With our reason hanging on by a string
Do we even need
That flagpole top
Civility in the weeds
Will this stop
Ain’t that much to change in myself
Cuz there ain’t too much to ask of myself
And I don’t ever want to think about you
Cuz you don’t ever think the way that I do
Ain’t that much to change in myself
Cuz there ain’t too much to ask of myself
And I don’t ever want to think about you
Cuz you don’t ever think the way that I do
Ain’t that much to change in myself
Cuz there ain’t too much to ask of myself
And I don’t ever want to think about you
Cuz you don’t ever think the way that I do
Everybody, everybody talks so much but nobody, nobody listens that much
You realized, all these signs
I can’t stand to hear I’m wrong, Could you whisper the news to me
Everybody, everybody talks so much but nobody, nobody listens that much
You realized, all these signs
I can’t stand to hear I’m wrong, Could you whisper the news to me

Jeremy is going through his revolution right now
Jessica just wanted to make sure that he made it to the couch
Last night didn’t seem all that bad
But the up-ended ashtray next to the end table tells a much different tale
Jeremy had lost his job the week prior
And this was the third one in as many weeks
The pattern for them is too familiar and way too familial
Jeremy Senior left a wake of black eyes, DUIs, and an empty bottle of whatever he had in his hand a few minutes before.
It has been way too many times that Jeremy promised change
Only to flail away at the abyss of his own emptiness
And then turn around, face Jessica
Blame Jessica for every bit of it
And tell her that she just doesn’t understand what he’s going through
And tell her that she just doesn’t understand what it’s like to provide nothing to no one
She’s the only spectator and participant that gets to clean it all up at the end of the every night
At the end of every night
Jessica graduated first in their class and had a full ride to Princeton
Jeremy was the proverbial high school football team captain that you’d expect in this type of story
The knee was blownout during the homecoming game, and their prom pictures featured
An obviously intoxicated Jeremy on crutches
Jessica already feeling the weight of this adult-sized child and the anchor around her future that he would come to represent
This was such a sad Checkov’s gun to fail to recognize
It has been way too many times that Jeremy promised change
Only to flail away at the abyss of his own emptiness
And then turn around, face Jessica
Blame Jessica for every bit of it
And tell her that she just doesn’t understand what he’s going through
And tell her that she just doesn’t understand what it’s like to provide nothing to no one
She’s the only spectator and participant that gets to clean it all up at the end of the every night
At the end of every night
Jeremy accused Jessica of gaslighting him when she pried about him getting any sort of help
She wondered which one of his alcoholic friends had taught him what the word gaslighting meant
But doubted any of them really understood the word or what was actually happening
In their home
When she confronted his family about the issues, they all stood their slack-jawed and couldn’t believe that their little Jeremy could ever do anything like this
She told them all, Just because I carry it so well, doesn’t mean it ain’t heavy
It has been way too many times that Jeremy promised change
Only to flail away at the abyss of his own emptiness
And then turn around, face Jessica
Blame Jessica for every bit of it
And tell her that she just doesn’t understand what he’s going through
And tell her that she just doesn’t understand what it’s like to provide nothing to no one
She’s the only spectator and participant that gets to clean it all up at the end of the every night
At the end of every night
Jessica was now past a mystery that she absolutely refused to discuss
And they were officially traveling to completely different places both literally and figuratively
Jeremy screamed at her you’re the problem and you’re not the universe
All I want to do is be a good person. I don’t understand why you won’t tell me how to be a good person
I just want to know how to be a good person
And that’s when Jessica completely emptied the gun into his chest
She is the prettiest girl
In this ugly town
It’s good being no good
You came home bearing fruits of your own confusion
And you don’t know how she coped with all the contusions
Life keeps running you over now
Life keeps happening to you somehow
His eulogy was whispered as she pushed him into the quarry
She is the prettiest girl
In this ugly town
It’s good being no good
Everyone knows the unfortunate rake’s conclusion
Her whole world blown open with her solution
Jeremy sinking to the bottom now
Jessica leaving this town somehow
Fell asleep on grandma’s couch watching Endless Story
She is the prettiest girl
In this ugly town
It’s good being no good

I moved west to get away
She stayed east for the same
She might be moving out this way
I am unsure what to say
All alone
There’s just too many stars for me to count
Starlight
I think she would love this moon
Cold night
Could she come back to me?
Being alone was enough to say
I didn’t want to be this way
Do not let the hard days win
Cold nights alone do me in
All alone
Dissolved all the ego left in me
Starlight
I think she would love this moon
Cold night
Could she come back to me?
She might be moving out this way
I am unsure what to say
She might be moving out this way
I am unsure what to say
Starlight
I think she would love this moon
Cold night
Could she come back to me?
