Always Around

dreams fail to ring true
I’m lit up to prove that I’m still trying
friends know where I am but
don’t wanna go leave their girlfriends
you were always around
friends used to be weirdos
now they’re just weird
I’m still here
strange, nobody gets it
nobody cares
I’m still here
you were always around
my time was coming now it’s running out
wasn’t I suppose to be
soon we’ll frame pictures of us at our best
phosphorescent by now
I guess this is it, this is it

Under The Gun
03:13
|

seemingly under the weather
eyes all red, spaghetti legs
from living the dream, right?
eight alarm clocks by the bed but no one in it
I stay up all night
round here I let it slide
dig our brains out and tunnel back in time
nowhere to run
I grapple with it in my sleep
when the sun comes up I know I’ll be
under the gun
I forgot what I was doing
could it be I wasn’t thinking?
sounds about right, right?
the great unknown is so romantic
until you’re old enough to die
round here I let it slide
dig our brains out and tunnel back in time
nowhere to run
I grapple with it in my sleep
when the sun comes up I know I’ll be
under the gun
dream it up and sleep it off again
no wonder why
it takes a lot to throw away the key
to your old life
leave or leave it alone?

Ask Again
02:58
|
|||
sometimes I wonder if that was the night when it started
she passed me her number and asked me to call but I never did
and to this day I can’t swim
in a pool of light
without wanting to hide
I’m in limbo ever since
change my mind and then
change my mind again
but now it’s a retreat
a first defense: wishing she’d waltz right back in and ask again

Pearl Diver
02:28
|

six letters spelled out on his business card:
l a w y e r
and that’s just what he says when people ask
but I know him better than that
I know he’s a pearl diver at heart
barefoot in the grocery store
get-out-of-jail-free-cards can’t compete
with the sunny Philippines
looming dark suits and black leather shoes what will I say?
that’s what I think about as the candles burn out on my birthday cake

Ok
03:09
|
|||
pull the rug out from right under me
tie my shoes together in my sleep
where’s the waiver and where do I sign?
how can I completely fool myself that I’m still alive?
a right hook to the jaw reads like poetry now
good to go, I’m volunteering
alibi’s gone with the wind
can’t wait to see if they’ll pass the test
watch me trust fall from Mount Everest
they don’t try as hard anymore
I don’t try at all anymore
can you scare the living shit out of me
one more time
I want to be weightless
one more time
I want to feel alive
I’m ok

Air Lasso
01:54
|
|||
vegan taxidermy crowds every wall
trophies of the life you lead
or pioneer plaques orbiting your tv-set?
is there someone out there for you as well?
half the time you’re all out dancing
a real cowboy with a cause
half the time you’re far away
it’s starting to show between the laughs
you’re holding your heart in your hands
an air lasso won’t catch no one until you find
an idiosyncratic mind among the bourgeoisie I want to believe
