My Fingers Speak...
03:00
|
|||
|
Not physical, emotional
A stopping point of all personal goals
Unable to think and to do
One day at a time pick it up, hour by hour
Sometimes minute by minute
The engine is running but there is no gas
Burning sensation, standing water

Dust

I went outside to taste the sky
It was falling down like my mood in disguise
you're a mess
Walking in to take the test
Is it worth it in the end
To feel like this was all pretend
Dirt
I am dirt
Smush me underneath your foot
With a big fat grin
Tell me all about your hurt
And when it rains it pours
Pick the scabs off of your sores
I turn into mud
Then you turn to dust
I'm sorry
Sometimes i am stupid
Tell me something once
My realities not lucid
Dirt
I am dirt
Smush me underneath your foot
With a big fat grin
Tell me all about your hurt
And when it rains it pours
Pick the scabs off of your sores
I turn into mud
Then you turn to dust

Mad River
03:09
|

|
I am walking to the train tracks the train tracks
when i get there I'll throw some big rock some big rock
it won't splash in to some water it'll hit the metal
then my ears will ring and I'll say I'm not sure why I'm here today
I won't get a gold medal
When this life is over
Breaking glass under my feet
Always felt like home to me
I wont splash in to some water it'll hit the metal
then my ears will ring and I'll say I'm not sure why I'm here today
Took four footsteps your direction
I wasn't really moving

Make Yourself Tall
04:51
|
|||
|
I just wanna make you proud
I just wanna see you around
And around and around
And around and around
Don't you make me feel small again
Don't you come around again
Don't you make yourself tall again
I see what you're doing
I see what you're doing

Bruised Eye
01:46

parker went for a walk again this time for real
And when he started jogging it didn’t feel real
What has he done for himself with the bruised eye with the running legs
And hes thinking that its bout time that he steps up to the plate and takes a swing at the curveball its like
Its like banging a drum and dont feel the same tomorrow
Its what you wanted all along its what you wanted all along
Isnt it isnt it

Free Dog
02:04
|
|||
|
i dont wanna be the one to tell you that we're never free
but if we try sometime you'll know we're wrong
sit down in the pew look up at everything you wanted to be
but youll never get there, youll never know what it means to be
needed like a dog in the summertime

Sick
01:57
|

|
Do you feel sick when you walk by the house that you grew up in I can see your head spin I can see your head spin
Swing your arms a little harder you can taste it on your skin I can see your heart win I can see your heart win
Again I said I'm sorry that this happens to all our friends but I just don't know what to do about it I just don't know where to begin
I'm in stuck in muck youre in your head feel the leaves they crumple under every breath
Do you not know what happened to them why aren't they laughing what happened in passing

Put Down the Object...
02:35
|
|||
|
want what you cant have
a simple understanding
eyes dont look okay
they look as if theyre dancing
Putty on a face imprint turns to failure
Come in warm embrace collapse under the pressure
Hover past the fenceline
The wood is stacking up just fine
Burn it for the heat and then
You throw it out like me again
Play that game again where we run round in circles
walk away from everything you thought was normal
The moon wont reflect on the water tonight
When you go fishin for some empty goodbyes
Hover past the fenceline
The wood is stacking up just fine
Burn it for the heat and then
You throw it out like me again

Capo 3
02:44
|
|||
|
Fear that now im going to say something you didnt like today
Well i guess its just bad luck filling up my cup
And when i talk about nothing youre still listening to me
Dont talk to me when im feeling low
Ill just freeze up real bad and start to move super slow
I guess i wasnt made to live the life that shouldve been
Easy enough to start without hesitation

Thank God

The day goes on and i just wanna be home
Writing songs on the couch with my guitar
My momma doesnt love me playing in the garage every weekend
Well it’s the weekends that make you feel like a hypocrite
When will you quit
Being anxious and shaky at any point of contention
Oh did i say that out loud wish you woulndnt have mentioned
Momma oh momma didnt want you to listen
I've been away and sadly been sinning
Told my momma what ive been doing
Spending my days lost away in a van
Driving highways back to the place where i knew my friends
its funny how you never feel like your home
No sense of belonging maybe better off alone
Listen to me when i tell you i love you i mean it i mean it i mean it yes i do
