cute asians in the street who I'll never see again
a passing fleeting glimpse of where my journey will never end
in university city i roam
where thousands of others call their home
by the writers house
fair floral and concrete on the sidewalks at my base
hundreds of students making waves but i only see the face
maybe someday ill settle down
in a nowhere mining town
but since im here ill leave my heart
in philadelphia
ill never sleep again

I’m kinda used to the loneliness
more often than not these days I’m just disappointed
to no fault of theirs, to no fault of mine
just so happens we ran out of overlapping time
the sun rising over the snow
faces in the gym, none of which I know
all I want is to not be alone, tonight
first night out in a new age, lighting fire to the new stage
glancing around for a sense of comfort i know I’ll never find
to no fault of theirs, to no fault of mine
I brought it upon myself to draw the jagged line
the halls so high

Lovesick Cure
02:23
|

i think youd mind if i stared
but i may be the only one who really cares
theres no game but head in shame
how i want to know your name
but i cant force you to share
force you to care
i think im sure but i dont know why
standing on the floor of a dark red sky
pods on the lawn from the laundry high
a lovesick cure for the days i almost cried
a wish from above to tell me what i really need
a raining champion to plant another worried seed
gods they admire looking down in nothing and obscured desire
a soaking rag to throw the point into the fire

Hermit Song
01:52
|
|
||
|
am i doomed to play the hermit forever
i see no further path where they wont take me
in groups they fly across my door and never asking to join
very slowly i blink
the situation hits
very quickly i break
the fan they wave to shit
it's the echo fringe that shocks the crowd
catapulting loud
cups line the doorways flooding with blood
how can we be so proud
very slowly i think
the situation hits
very quickly i break
the road they paved to bits

Eagle Hook
01:59
|
|

|
starry eyes sing starry nights
overlooking riots, fights
holding on for the victory they claim
arm in arm, cry in cry
fighting for their noble eye
standing screaming shouting for his name
we’re on a roll
we’re on a stride
millions of people laughing, crying
on a high
not jumping down
to see the sky
ringing out in every city
making the violence out pretty
questionable timing but they had the right frame of mind
throwing punches but not of mad
truthfully they seemed awful glad
to leave an empty case behind
we’re all we’ve got
we’re all we need
to overcome the breaking eye
where were you
when you saw
the Eagles fly?

Silver Minded Soul
02:40
|
|
||
|
silver minded soul
catching the rays in a metal bowl
reflecting towards the right
spooning out the gold
new frontiers spinning in oil
that breaks the mold
into little blue specks of light
they tricked you to shame
another pawn in a useless game
they think they'll win
silver minded something
in arcs we descend
honored fires, end to end
the means of which foretold
an endless night
silver minded solar flares ascend

Romantic Distance
03:08
|
|
||
|
scored a victory today for my past self
it means nothing now
it would have meant a lot long ago
but currently i dont think how
no use trying now
i dont think i want it
and i dont want to hurt her
forcing my early goodbye
forcing love for it to die
i can watch her walk away and be okay
it doesn't burn my world
it's easier to live without romance
just trying to befriend all the cute girls

Black Lights
03:29
|
|
||
|
i dont know where they got the branch they dropped her from
rolled into my wall from nowhere
i dont know why she thought id be worth something
i dont know a lot about her
minds lay waking
chances taking on her
sirens of atlantic capes, atlantic gowns
drifting over burlington, atlantic towns
red hands talking over the stars
is it worth wondering where you are
black lights shaking
black lights breaking on her
theres so much i dont know
what is left to show
black lights breaking on her

She's At The Parade
02:42
|
|
||
|
ive seen her around but id never seen her eyes
out the left field, redder than the lovesick skies
wandered off to someplace far away
up above, she’s at the parade
ride the wait, the kinesthetic eye
brought up from ample poor design
touched me, up from schools and lies
held down by the wandering eyes
lives in the clouds, follower her all day
white smoke with little puffs of gray
eye turns but never tries to stay
never tries to make its way
never tries to make its way

Seedstepping
03:18
|
|
||
|
sense of height looking down
floating above every move I made
at which point did I cement the current
standing longing by the shade
what she doesn't know can't hurt her
as if she'll ever know
where every step is taken
another seed will grow
and entrap the foot
shots I knew better than to take
catching up and thanking me
here's to the world I sure avoided
by knowing that wouldn't make me happy

Fog
03:12
|
|
||
|
the fog settles in
where are we
designed by sadists to block the view of a better world
of a better earth
for profit we don't seek
the skies, gray, looking bleak
at night we flee towards newer grass
patches of hope we stitched onto our heads
they'll find us dead if we have to
shake the notion we won't be okay
you just need to bite down and wait a day
the revolution calls and it needs volunteers
if we're going to last another twenty years
this dry spell has an ending
the happiest we've ever been
take my hand and we'll ride into the sunset
