There’s a lot I can take
Donate myself to a few
Sometimes reciprocating
There’s a lot I can fake
Spectate this life with a view
And I know it’s slowly fading
You don’t even know why your doing this to yourself
There’s some friends I could make
Swear that my lonering is done
But something keeps it from changing
There’s a lot I can take
I like the hand that I got
But I can’t stop from playing
You don’t even know why you’re doing this to yourself
Make myself a target to shoot
Bury me deep under the grass and the roots
There is someone that im trying to be
Always someone that im trying to please
Not me

cheap thin walls

I hear
it through the cheap thin walls
it’s peeling
apart, the cheap thin walls
A bargain on the price of life
The minimum “good” for life
Spend nothing if the price is right
Give nothing and sleep so tight
Approval of the Mediocre
Someones
Yelling, the cheap thin walls
It lets
The cold in, the cheap thin walls
A bargain on the price of life
The minimum “good” for life
Spend nothing if the price is right
Give nothing and sleep so tight
Understanding there is nothing better

Build a trailer maybe some kind of a home
And You are my bestist friend
We could run away to California
Feels restless here
I wanna do what I wanna
Just another grey day
takes you away from time
Well only if ya say so
But I don’t think it really matters
If you go
Away from where you started
You’re always gonna come back around
It’ll leave you up then it’ll push you back you down
Another cold grey day

I awake in air
Confusingly spinning around
Out of orbit, out of touch with it all
I don’t know if I am falling or not
It smelt like dog and musk
And it’s dark
Fly over the winter storm
Nothing really real anymore
And in my life
I like attaching myself to anything I could feel
That’s just how it used to be
I’m not sure that I am really me
right now
We used to jump in to the snow
If this is how it’s gonna be
I’d like to go to heaven but I don’t think I’m ready
It’s Cold cold cold
I wanna see my family
I’m scared
And it hurts

one last sweep

One last sweep before
We’re closing
Clean the steel
Mop the floors
Sweep the people from where they lay
Break a back or two
I don’t have all damn day
Besides
Let’s have a drink
To hell with what the others think
Besides
Let’s have a drink
Besides
One last sweep before
Its closing
Don’t forget
to kill the lights
Or any last
semblance of life
It’s good to work with you
But no one wants to stay
Besides
Let’s have a drink
To hell with what the others think
Besides
Let’s have a drink
Besides

I’ll hand you the wrench
Ill play second best
Ive been so depressed

You wanna see me
Crawl across the floor
Be such a bore

Suddenly ive gone cold
It’s true
Tho you
Said you couldn’t take the cold
So you headed north
You, fresh from divorce
Can you take me on your horse
Can you drag me there by force
Please help me to find my way
Please don't go back to LA
Please don't go I need you to stay
