Keep It Safe 02:52
Far away bodies I was watching them collide Standing with my brother, staring at the sky And his eyes are so telling I know it’s such an empty space So much love in your belly that it aches So many seconds and minutes Nobody wants them to subside And the hands wave in circles But it’s really just a line Your eyes are so telling So point them all around this place So much love your belly Try to keep it safe

Say hello Then you’ll know Some people will never hear you Others will always fear you Either way kid it’s just a game The camera stopped The crowd didn’t know what they should watch The actors slumped like sleeping robots They pulled the plug ‘cause we know not how to love with one muscle pumping blood Oh they don’t know what becomes of this experimental drug No they don’t know what to do with us It’s a trap you’d set in anybody’s path Until you find some smoke and mirror To set the mood, make things clearer All laid out on a table in the dark The camera stopped The crowd didn’t know what they should watch The actors slumped like sleeping robots They pulled the plug ‘cause we know not how to love with one muscle pumping blood Oh they don’t know what becomes of this experimental drug No they don’t know what to do with us

I imagine it was like a goodbye. Well if you need a backdoor I could show you, The rain only comes true, When it’s the worst thing you could do Don’t hide your eyes, It’s only exploding skies. Just watch it all go by. And it kept me occupied for some time. My head was full of weather charts and false starts and heavy clouds. Don’t hide your eyes, It’s only exploding skies. Just watch it all go by.

No two things are the same I was born with different instructions in my brain I can’t keep up with this parade Night has fallen, the spectators have gone away I wanna be a spaceman Floating free Cause every time she sits here Gravity pulls out the worst in me So just go home Just go home Back to some apartment Try to level out How are you so certain? I know you must have doubt I just hope it’s not me you’re thinking bout Maybe when you find your head You can ask yourself about the things you said to me Oh, these twists and turns Oh, this bridge I’m gonna burn it down I’m homeward bound Back to some apartment Try to level out How are you so certain? I know you must have doubt I just hope it’s not me you’re thinking bout

She Knows 05:15
Last bridge we crossed was burning in the moonlight The first time you spoke to me I was on fire But somehow you missed that Never did have your head right I took in every word like it was a trial I think she knows I think she knows better than me how to judge the surface I think she feels the same but Lacks a purpose Somewhere lights are blinking Somewhere a wire gets crossed Sometimes I do too much thinking Somehow I get lost I think she knows

Tired Shoes 03:14
Where are all the funny girls, with their dreams and their tired shoes? Diving for touchdowns and validation on the nightly news So pardon the excuse, “These things they come out when I open my mouth” That’s the line I always use Is it good enough for you? Come so far, still feel heavy Is this how it’s supposed to be? Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen Tongue escaped the cat The spider stayed up the spout And we remained in the living room While fire swallowed the house The future’s always in doubt Why would we put this fire out? Come so far, still feel heavy Is this how it’s supposed to be? Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen Where are all the funny girls, with their dreams and their tired shoes? Diving for touchdowns and validation on the nightly news So pardon the excuse Come so far, still feel heavy Is this how it’s supposed to be? Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen

Queensland 02:56
She’s gone down under And she ain’t ever coming back Both in her heart and her mind I can’t seem to find my way around without her My world came crashing down without her I need to let it go
8.
Nancy 06:27
Love is the currency we’re swept underneath The swirling sea of green shows its teeth After the storm, you will take flight Without a lullaby or a goodnight The wind has blown you clear out of this town The ringing in your ear is keeping you up now What do you think we will do When this all turns to dust? Ashes and rust No why just goodbye. Love is the currency; we’re all in debt Watching the world through a camera lens So analyze this life, but don’t look too close Those words are sung but never spoke What do you think we will do When this all turns to dust? Ashes and rust No why just goodbye.

Boy you got some nerve Boy you got some nervous way about you When the synapses fire in your brain You should hear the things you say They sound insane Things you can’t explain to anyone else Things you can’t explain to yourself I’m sick of war Tired of how people treat people I’m sick of this chapter Tired of living for the sequel No I don’t wanna die But this ain’t how I plan to stay alive Off living some other life As a bad actor playing a better guy Things you can’t explain to anyone else Things you can’t explain to yourself He forgets his lines And stares and stutters and tries so hard to be witty As he drills and hammers his brain And spills the remains on the streets of New York City So push my head into your hands Apply pressure where you need to Oh I do anything for you if you promise to be see-through Things you can’t explain to anyone else Things you can’t explain to yourself
