Truly Good
03:23

this feeling’s older and bigger than me
yet feels distinctly mine
your childhood piano whispering
melodies intertwine
those who feel the goodness
and those who never will
hold us to their trueness
hold the never-willers still
feel the good, truly good
all hearts and roses
stumbling
as if forgetting our lines
melodies intertwine
yet feel distinctly mine
as if forgetting our lines

Wind

was lying when I saw you
asked how I was doing I said fine
thought I could ignore you
you had to be the bigger man
but I saw right through you when you went
and held out your hand
the wind comes barreling down the street
like clockwork every night
and pours in through my window
through my window
like an empty bottle whistling in the wind
still makes music when i’m done drinking
don’t think i’m ready to sing all those old songs again

Free
03:39
|
|
||
floating weightless on the air
see the wind blow through your hair
nowhere else I’d rather be
snap a highway window pic
download albums for the trip
open road ahead of me
from city blocks to mountain tops
we’re completely free
hand in glove, we’re so much in love
no one else but you and me
good a place as any to stop
turn down the radio and start to talk
this is so easy

What Do I Do Now?
02:38
|
|
||
you’re smoking again
but you’re pulling the drag so hard
it’s plain to see
that your mind has been badly scarred
and i’ve got to come clean
your mom’s been harassing me
what do I do now?
now that you’ve gone away
there was so much left to say
you’re yelling again
about the demons inside your head
last time it was
the monsters under your bed
but what I didn’t see
is how much you were scaring me
sometimes
I listen to your old voicemails
on my phone
they make me feel right at home
like i’m not all alone

Paradise
03:46
|
|
||
teach children that they must submit
how long will we continue to crush their spirit?
just walking home but paid the price
with our lives we roll a pair a’dice
when a knee is on your neck
against the wall you must fight back
inequity was built on lies
this world it could be paradise

Last Place
03:12
|
|
||
it’s the human race
and it’s coming in last place
what’s done is done is done
but now a year has gone
upending our routines
suspending all our dreams
despair, and yet, reflection drives progress
it’s the human race
and it’s coming in last place
a sticky mess drips down its face
what a waste of space

Fireworks
02:46
|
|
||
the wind behind you melts
you tell a story I can’t understand
until we start to laugh
and I bury my face beneath both hands
you don’t know how loved you are
fireworks like a shooting star
can’t stop laughing bolt of lightning
brightens up your smile
can’t tell how long that we’ve been kissing
but it’s been a while

Here
03:03
|
|
||
everyone is listening
but no one is transmitting
they are here undetected
they are here unacknowledged
nature of intelligent
life is to destroy itself

Something New
02:33
|
|
||
seems all we do
is struggle to
get through this hellscape
make something new
tired and bored drinking wine
hating ourselves all the time
then we apologize
for showing up decidedly late
then leaving early and taking long breaks
left following our only dream
on nights and weekends
and in between
trip for two endless blue
we’re through what we used to do
hard to choose what’s new but we’ll make do
wishing that we could depend
on life staying here instead
just keep hoping in our head
