Surfing on Halloween
02:23
|

|
I'm gonna walk out
I'll settle the score before I'm back in bed again
I'll take a photo
Oh, wouldn't you know?
I'll surf the whole wide world of web
Well, did you notice I'll flip the script?
So don't forget, be kind and rewind.
I'll deserve to come down while I'm floating around.
I'm gonna follow
I'll knock on the door and beg forgiveness humbly
But never forward
I'm wearing a mask like trick-or-treat on Halloween
And all the goblins, zombies, and freaks
Don't pay any mind to how they bleed.
I'll deserve to come down while I'm floating around.

Darling Apathy

Oh, darling apathy
I only hoped I could be awakened from a dream,
But no, I wasn't asleep.
I learn so many things when I am unprepared.
I guess it's meant to be, so tell me why I'm so scared.
I don't want to get excited.
Don't even want to be here.
I'm afraid of awkward silence.
Can I just go home?
Oh, darling apathy
How difficult could it be?
Why must you disagree with everything I believe?
I'm in a passive phase which I am bound to regret.
I wallow through my days until I get to the end.
I don't want to get excited.
Don't even want to be here.
I'm afraid of awkward silence.
Can I just go home?

Madison Avenue
02:04
|

|
Chug a bottle, hope to clear your mind
Take a walk down Madison tonight
Somewhere I won't be noticed
I guess it's hard to be a friend
Speed dial a text, "How have you been?"
I know enough to know the way
Muffled voices, television screens
Tired faces watch a hockey game
Last call, it's time to go now
I guess it's hard to be a friend
Speed dial a text, "How have you been?"
I know enough to know the way

Bell Jar
02:54
|
|||
|
You were there in the corner with the lights off
I was waiting in the kitchen by the sink
With a breeze from the summer through a window
I could hear people talking aimlessly
Nobody had noticed the energy sucked from the room
That's what anxiety will do
You were there on the sofa with your head down
I was thinking quietly to myself
To belong in a bell jar in a museum
Observations, dissertations, et cetera
Nobody had noticed the energy sucked from the room
That's what anxiety will do

Stay Golden
02:25
|
|||
|
Never catch a glimpse of the aftermath, stay golden
If you let them get to your head it's good as stolen
Oh, I'll drift through the fog and they'll be happy when I'm gone
I was running free when you caught my eye supposing
Arrow through my heart like an ancient mystic omen
Oh, I'll dream through the night to keep that memory alive
You were falling in love
I was falling asleep at the wheel
We were never enough

Vesuvio
02:56
|
|||
|
Straight to the back of a yellow taxi cab
We drove through the town in the rain
A man with a beard was less aware than he appeared
I asked how he got through his day
Vesuvio! Vesuvio! I walked into the cafe from the weary road.
Postcards and rhymes from an era stuck in time
Hung from the walls in their frames
Where do you go when not a soul is there you know
And no one remembers your name?
Vesuvio! Vesuvio! I walked into the cafe from the weary road.
One more to go before I hit the open road
And I'm left with only my thoughts
Jack Kerouac left a note upon a plaque
That said, "It all ends in tears anyway."
Vesuvio! Vesuvio! Vesuvio! Vesuvio!

Old Haunts
02:58
|
|||
|
I watch the clock upon the wall
It takes away my inner thought
Like a photograph of lovers in the nude
Vulnerability and truth
Odd sounds and shadows in the hall
I'm not so certain after all
Like a bug attracted to a glowing light
Corrupts your body then your mind
Wade in the flood of endless doubt

Metaphysical Brain
02:48
|
|||
|
I felt the whole world gone askew with the slight of a hand
I fumbled through my hapless view for words that I couldn't land
Is it a mountain?
Is it a desert plain?
Something to be sustained
To make sense of what seems senselessly gained, I don't have an answer.
I take your picture
I hold it up to the light
Only to find it faded
Our memory can't preserve a life
I left it up to chance at times when I did not have a plan
I guess I never made up my mind nor did I understand
Am I emotion?
Am I a thoughtless wave?
Metaphysical brain
To belong in what seems long overplayed, I don't have an answer
I take your picture
I hold it up to the light
Only to find it faded
Our memory can't preserve a life
Our memory can't
