Interrupted again
I guess I've got a lot to learn about stability and entropy
And the burdens on my shoulders
Like denizens of every dream and every nightmare
Star-crossed forever in a book I've never even read.
The cracks in the pavement feel like a lifetime ago
I always knew through every fight, bloody lip and blackened eye
I would still find somewhere that feels like home
I'm not as homesick anymore.
Only forty-seven miles till I reach the county line
And maybe find myself a fresh start
The radio dial is sticking on a station out of Dayton
And like my patience the signal is fading fast
My last stop reassuring that the promise of my wording
And over-working of this record is reaching you well enough
At the risk of sounding dated singing songs about the things I've hated and have grated me at this specific point in time
I guess I'm still just twenty-five.
I guess I still have time.

I Never Got to Say

Interrupted again,
I need you to know I've done the best I can
To find a means to an end,
And I just haven't found it yet.
(I just haven’t found a means to an end)
And it’s starting to wear my patience thin
It's like you can’t hear a single word I say.
Not that matters, it won’t make this go away
I just can’t get all my god damn thoughts straight
I'm trying, I'm trying,
(Just give me some space to think)
I would never say that
And you should know...that.

Thanks for That

You might be sitting all alone
Wondering where you could find me after bar close,
(Walking home...)
With nothing but the streetlights and the cold.
You can keep on wondering,
You can keep on asking,
But you only want to pick at my weathered bones
While I’ve been
Stuck, constantly in dire search for solid ground
A certain feeling never leaving when you’re not around
I've hit the bottom of the well and can't get on my feet.
I'll never see what's in front of me.
You’re being unreasonable,
You're asking for too much
I know it's not out of the blue,
But these accusations feel unjustified
You're speaking as a victim,
But you're the judge, the jury and my executioner.
I'm backed into a corner,
With you, there's no way out for me.
And I’ll never see what’s in front of me.
I can’t deny,
(I can’t deny, you only speak the truth)
You only ever speak the truth,
(In my defense we have two different points of view)
In my defense we have two different points of view
(If we can reach a compromise it’ll be a miracle)
It might just be impossible,
I can’t see your side of this
(NO!)
Not until you see mine
‘Cause it's been hit or miss
Lately your aim has been off
(Lately my aim has been off)
It's never been the distance in the way
It's the lengths I go to that you'll never appreciate
An inch is all I need, and you can take a mile,
But is the effort even worthwhile?
With every step I take, a sickened heart trapped in a stalemate.
You’ve got a lot of verve,
Dragging me through dirt
But I’m the one left here with a sickened heart!
You’re being unreasonable,
You're asking for too much
I know it's not out of the blue,
But these accusations feel unjustified
You're speaking as a victim,
But you're the judge, the jury and my executioner.
I'm backed into a corner,
With you, there's no way out for me.
And I’ll never see what’s in front of me.
There's no way out for me!
And I’ll never see what’s in front of me.

Lovely Sentiment
03:42

You always say you know what’s best
But you know I don’t want to hear it.
Let’s take the night to sleep this off,
And talk about it in the morning.
Such a lovely sentiment to
Start my day remembering
All the supid things that you put me through
But I’ll watch you wash this all away!
(Like the writing on the walls)
Don’t you start me on the subtleties,
That lately I’ve been noticing.
(The contradicting attitudes,)
(The smile of a cheat!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away again,
A small reminder of the way it’s been.
You’ve been throwing bricks,
While I’ve been busy saving them.
I took all of your hits,
(And rebuilt my defenses.)
I need to learn how to look after myself.
(Before I take another risk on you!)
What did you expect from me,
I won’t come crawling back anymore.
This pleading has hurt my knees.
You’re tearing out my seams again,
Faster than I can restitch myself.
Slowly unravelling,
No more threading the needle
With a through-line of self doubt.
Do I have a say in this?
Do I have the strength to say this to your face?
That lovely sentiment is getting in the way.
(The illusion that it’s all okay,)
(The illusion that it’s all okay,)
Call it omnidirectional,
Call it something to go viral.
It won’t matter to me,
‘Cause everyone’s already laughing.
Like being in a maze of mirrors,
Trying to make things clearer,
But at every turn,
Being forced to watch yourself fail.
You’re tearing out my seams again
You’re tearing out my seams again,
Faster than I can restitch myself.
Slowly unravelling,
No more threading the needle
These last second sutures don’t work anymore,
These last second sutures don’t work anymore.
I’ll stitch myself up one more time,
I’ll stitch myself up one more time!
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)

I've been working myself to the bone,
But I don’t feel like I am moving forward,
And I always feel like I need to be doing more.
I feel like things are on hold
While I keep getting older, I'm young
But it feels like time is slipping from my grasp.
(Time is slipping from my grasp)
Hold me like a photograph in your hand.
(Time is slipping from my grasp)
My colors melt away,
(Time is slipping from my grasp)
Before you know I’m gone.
(Time is slipping from my grasp)
Leaving your framed fingers are numb and frozen.
My focus has been off,
Like the cloudy lens on an old film camera.
My focus has been off,
It's been blurring out what really matters.
My focus has been off,
Like the cloudy lens on an old film camera.
My focus has been off,
It's been blurring out what really matters.
I just want to see
The best version of me
I just want to see
The best version of me clearly!
Am I making the right choices?
I feel like I'm surrounded by voices.
And they're all leading me away,
In opposite directions,
And they're all leading me away,
LEADING ME AWAY!
Pull another petal off the flower,
To help make up my mind,
I’ll need at least a hundred more.
My focus has been off
Like the cloudy lens on an old film camera
My focus has been off
It's been blurring out what really matters
My focus has been off
Like the cloudy lens on an old film camera
My focus has been off
It's been blurring out what really matters
I just want to see
The best version of me
I just want to see
The best version of me clearly!
Pull another petal off the flower
To help make up my mind
I’ll need at least a hundred more
So I can finally decide
Pull another petal off the flower
To help make up my mind
I’ll need at least a thousand more
To decide what to leave behind.
Today I ran out of flowers.

Lose Track of Everything
03:28

My radio’s been static for the last twelve miles
But the hum just brings me clarity
My life’s been in a free fall for quite some time,
But now I feel the gravity
And I don’t need a resignation,
Nothing permanent for now
I just wish I had the strength
To lift the corners of my mouth,
But I feel numb
A feeling I’ve felt for so long
To the point where I can’t
Think back to where all of this went wrong
I’ve been going to sleep
With a lighter in my hand, like a relic of religion.
And I refuse to believe that I’m turning into you,
But I’ve been showing symptoms.
Tracing back to the roots,
Of all the shit that I do.
It’s all thanks to you.
The cracks that run along the side of your house
In the pavement strike me strangely with disarray.
A weary memory of a time and place,
Incomplete without my bloodstains.
Take back the fragments
Of the wishing bones we broke as kids.
Tear out the pages in your journal
Where my name’s inked in.
Lose track of every memory
You think you had with me.
‘Cause chances are,
They’re not the same as what they used to be.
(Lose track of everything)
Or what they used to be
(Lose track of everything)
(Lose track of everything)
Or what they used to be
(Lose track of everything)
(Lose track of everything)
Or what they used to be
(Lose track of everything)
Lose track of everything
(Lose track of everything)
Just lose track of everything!
(Just lose track of everything!)
Take back the fragments
Of the wishing bones we broke as kids.
Tear out the pages in your journal
Where my name’s inked in.
Lose track of every memory
You think you had with me.
‘Cause chances are,
We’re not the same as what we...

I spend my nights
Flipping through rum and coke in circles
And pounding through infomercials
Finding the things that keep me safe and on my feet
But I've been standing
In the wake of something greater than myself
If I'm washed into the current
You'd just move on to someone else
And it's a pill to swallow
An unforgiving game
A tough act to follow
I should have followed anyway
I don't want to feel this way
Like the things that I can't say
Are leaving me more anxious and afraid
You are never on your own
These are the things you'll never know
And they're the things
That make me feel like I'm a little less alone.
I don't know how I keep getting stuck on this sinking ship,
A captain of progress through loneliness.
My library card
Is the only thing on my person
From before I wrote in cursive
And before I started cursing
Your name to the breeze
For everything that you saw inside me!
I don't want to feel this way
These are the things that I can't say
These are the things that make me...
You are never on your own
These are the things you'll never know
And they're the things
That make me feel like I'm a little less alone.

I've been checking in on myself while
Still keeping my distance
Progress shouldn't feel like this
But I've never known the difference.
I called your phone,
It's not your number anymore
Just a ghost of your reflection
In the arch of every door
That I walk through.
I can find myself among the pines
Sometimes I run in place, and that's just fine
You're better off sleeping on your own,
I can see it in your sunken eyes.
I packed all my boxes
Filled out every line
The world is what you make of it
When you're running out of time.
I've been taking precautions,
Spread myself out further this time around
I'll take those words you wrote me
And set myself free
From feeling like I have been a letdown.
I called your phone,
It's not your number anymore
Just a ghost of your reflection
In the arch of every door
That I walk through.
I can find myself among the pines
Sometimes I run in place, and that's just fine
You're better off sleeping on your own,
I can see it in your sunken eyes.
This isn't really working anymore,
(Trust me, I know you're not the only one that)
I'm sore from sleeping on the floor.
(Hates me, but no one cut as deep as you)
And I just need to find my way home
To a welcome mat so faded
I don't feel welcome anymore.
I don't think I need this!
And I don't think I need you!
I don't think I need this!
And I don't think I need you!
I don't think I need this!
And I don't think I need you!
I can find myself among the pines
Sometimes I run in place, and that's just fine.
