Beast

I've told you every single time that I'm nearly running out of time when will my ship come in
I've been grinding out these years and I've been haunted by the fear has my whole life been phoned in
I met a man from Delaware he lived his life without a care said "son what's ailing you?"
I lost my mind today it's always work and never play and never what I want to do
what's a beast to do
when the feast falls through
pick up all the scraps
make it back
to where he belongs
carried all along
are the thoughts inside
"I'm alive"

A Question

I'm gonna ask a question
you don't have to answer
if I could be a better person
would you still walk out the door
I'm working on a different plane than
you might expect for me to be
I don't need you to understand I
only need some sympathy
I don't know how to carry this load
I don't care why the chicken crosses the road
I'm gonna make a statement
you can take what you want from this
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know how I'm going to fix
all the years of degradation
my soul reeks of dehydration
I'm just kidding I'll call you tomorrow with the plan of plans
I don't know how to carry this load
I don't care why the devil crosses the road
if you have all the answers yourself
I could use about 10 or 12

lock in zone out pull your hair out
eat sleep breathe die return to the sky
your heart can blast lasers if you want it will
we'll never stop pushing that boulder up the fucking hill

Great To Be Alive

he's your best friend in the whole world
he's got all the Rolling Stones records
and there's somehow always pizza in the breakroom
well you know that sometimes things just don't jive
when the world flings the shit into your eyes
you can count on all the small things that mark our time
it's Friday morning, great to be alive
he's your best friend in the whole world
got your back but you're a Sox fan
so here's 2 tickets to Wrigley in the fall
close your eyes
question your life
call your old man tell him it's alright
another morning, great to be alive

What's Best
02:08
|
|||
|
I hate every single person that I run into
I hate everything about my life except for you
if a man is smart
if a man knows what's best
then a man might find
it's best to keep to himself

If You Agree
03:23

I know what you want it's not something you can get your hands on now
tell me if you agree
and if you agree
we could take the world at half price
and if you agree
I'll tell you all I know
I've gotten way too old now
let me rest my head where my heart is at
sold now are the dreams on which I've hung my hat
I'm not enamored with the thought of losing the whole shooting match now
tell me if you agree
and if you agree
we could freak out in the summer rain
and if you agree
I'll tell you what you need
old love and a new brain now
this one full of holes and bubble gum
explain how all the strings we pull seem to come undone
and I disagree it's still us against them that's the way it's always been
and I'm going insane through all the sticks and stones can't see how we've grown

Glass

why do all of the lives we hold close fantasize between schemes quite deranged moving patterns in the rain finding meaning in the fog memories dissolve chasing the ghost of what tears us all apart
we deserve what we get it's so hard to forget spending half of my time stuck inside the money mine how can this all be true glass can't cut like you pulling the strings and the questions left to burn
