Enough

Expect different results
and i'll come back for more
Enough is all you ever wanted
You say you're a nihilist
but expect all of life's confections
Enough is all you ever get

Between
the painted over brick
and my destroyed fingertips
i let my eyes loose focus
i start to see the ugly symmetry
that happens when the world shares
such similarities
is there air stuck in my bones?
or is my brain just loosing shape
it's all the same
when the gears they start to slow
well then you know
to wind them back to yesterday
simple stupid wasted yesterday
Watch the dog
drag a log
will they ever get it home?
well i don't know and they don't care
it's much bigger than the log
it's not a dream
it's not a goal
it's just an act
it's a tick
it's a purpose
just something to pass the time

watched you
for a lifetime
or a timelapse of one unfolding
oh how i wish i could keep it all
wrapped up into a moment
but the gears keep moving
and turning
how life can be so unkind
and like life i too can be so unkind
how lucky it is to decide!
so i go fishing
for something
an identity to suss out
the things that feel bigger than me
till i decided
to be the biggest thing
that's not a big deal
to anybody else but me

Soft Brain
02:21
|
|||
|
the question pervasively
got into my head
with our claws, our skeletons
soft bodies over dressed
too stoned to make a move
to move too quickly to understand
my soft brain all those chemicals
how could any one body contend
when i was in my reverie
spoke with brevity
i said "I got too caught up in something"

Pin the Tail on Me
01:20
|
|||
|
I'm in in need of assistance
in the self help section
of a barnes & noble
looking for that new book
everyone keeps talking about
and of course everyone like to get things done
but you wont finish anything
dodging all those tricky conversations
do you ever picture Mr.Rogers having a bad day?
I can't think about it without wanting to cry
and crying is okay
it took me a long time to figure that one out
Pin the tail on me
this morning i woke up from a horrible dream
where i was that box in a Uhaul
that follows you from house to house
ratty and worn out
filled with nick nacks
and your high school yearbooks
oh here's that weird project you
were so worked up about six years ago
could you ever bring yourself to toss me out?
would abandoning all those little pieces
make way for different little pieces all the same?
does it make you any less you?
i sure hope not
but how could i possibly begin to understand
|

i have to be
completely
separate from everything
my body
has its own autonomy
seperate from my thinking
I don't have to be anything
my body
has its own autonomy
separate from my thinking
ain't that something
I don't have to be anything
this is not a love song
for anyone except for myself
I want to be my own friend!

an explanation
01:47
|
|||
|
i want to talk to you
i can talk to you
but i won't talk to you
how can i explain?
does that make sense?

Rosebud Forever
01:14

common baby
you made me ugly
let's go to the pool
don't need a ladder
or refrigerator
we've got rosebud
we've got rosebud forever

I.G.Y.B.D.Y.H.M.B?
01:54

it's hard enough to recover
or rediscover what it is
or what it was
that turned lovers on their heads
but then again
it's all about
how you talk it out
that or if you scream and shout
but that's no way to live
can we offer that simple comfort?
to have eachothers back it's so important
but don't lose track of the top and sides
or any other places in danger to the evil
just outside
and at night we'll wave our fingers at the dark and frightful sky
with them all the thoughts that evil likes
to the places they escape inside our minds
that's alright
cause thoughts aren't real
even if they're breathing, seething
at the core of who we are
no they aren't real!
it's up to us to make them real
take a look again
at both your hands
see how they're so capable and magnificent!
take a look at what you have
you're so capable and magnificent!

Enough is Enough

Enough is enough
you let him in
he's counting all of those places and people
you've been ignoring
kept tabs on all those stupid fights you had in your head
as if it was some game to loose or win
you're at home
you picked up the phone
to a voice
it's one that's from a different time
saying things they sound so nice
no prying no tortured advice
it was just fine
the statues that you built
look like shit
and you know it
it all happened so quick
it came down
now what could you build
to replace them?
