Best Available Friend

Get me lost in the woods
I’ve been hanging around the neighborhood
I thought that it was fine, never put much value to my time
Get me back ‘fore you fall
Never been the one you could call on
I thought that it was normal
But now you’re looking at me
You kept asking what was wrong
I had a dream, or maybe I just saw it out the window
I am trying to outrun
Beat me up, until then I’ll go
Are you waiting?
I don’t think so
Are you waiting for me?

Hot Pink Cast
01:55
|

|
I broke my arm in kindergarten and then the same one again in 3rd grade
Both times I asked for a hot pink cast and everyone signed it and it was great
I made my teacher yell at me in the hallway
My recklessness had ruined the 4th grade play
I had broken my hand on a trampoline
They gave me a thumbs-up cast it was bright green
I played a Native American chief, she thought my cast was the only inaccuracy
I’m not trying to say she didn’t have her priorities straight
I just think that it’s lame that she really felt that way
So, break my bones if you want to, but I am way ahead of you
I am doing what I have to, to put me back together again
Then in my second week of high school I broke two bones in my foot.
I was running from a ghost in the living room
it was cold and dark on a night with a full moon
I never saw it again. I told people I broke it saving my best friend
Overall I think it was worth it, I got out of the entire football unit
Break my bones if you want to, but I am way ahead of you
I am doing what I have to, to put me back together again

Stop Sign

Walking faster just to spite yourself
All we know is it’s not in the interest of our health
And we tried to say hello we tried to find some other way out
I can’t see it anymore, what I saw before
Walking on a line, we are running out of time
I can see the distance now
I’m impossible on Wednesday nights and Friday mornings
and I like going to bed when it’s still light out
And I hear a voice in my head, It talks to me; it says, “I can’t tell you how to feel”.
It’s impossible to know
but it’s still possible to grow
I can say anything that I want – I just keep my mouth shut
Walking faster for no particular reason
I see systems, I see cantilevers and caryatids
and I want to make them all mine for life
I want to stop at stop signs and green lights
and I’ll walk home again and think about all of your friends
and what I would do if I were taller
and if I cannot find where I’m gonna stay tonight
I’ll stay with you again if that’s alright

All I Wanna Do
01:17
|

When I’m with you all I wanna do is chase my tail
Soon you’ll see the dog in me burn in hell
I hear voices through the walls
Leading me to you
Hideaway, a secret place, the fountainhead
Honey dripping from the fence
I hear voices through the walls
Leading me to you
When I’m with you all I wanna do is lug around
eventually you ask me “what’s that sound?”
hear your voice reach out to mine
It’s all I wanna do!

Wax Boy

In a dream I am staring at a wax boy’s eyes and he looks just like me
He blinks when he hears his name
He can feel that something’s changed
But he sits there silently
On the day when I finally feel my age, will I still feel like me?
Will this watered-down world hold
my frail body when I grow old
Or ship me off to sea?
Or will I take a stand and show you?
Mom, I don’t know what I should do
Now I'm staring at myself in a wax boy’s eyes

Art School Shuffle

Good morning it’s been a while since I have seen your face
it’s not really bad, it wasn’t a complaint
It’s not a competition and we’re not keeping score
But if it was I would have been winning until this morning.
Normative, formative, say you love me more than this
Shave your head above your ears and tattoo femurs on your shins
Guess it’s fine, work ‘til 9 leave at 7:55
call your boss and tell him that you need some rest to stay alive
Biotin, Coq10, take a multivitamin
I’m so high I don’t know where my favorite water bottle is!
I’ll just be around here, also I just saw you sneer
So glad that it took you so long to reappear
I sit in a room watching TV
I’m not in the mood to be angry
and I don’t want to see you
I don’t want to see you
sit in a room like you belong here
It’s my fault too
I should have been clear
harborage from your shit, thought you loved more than this
I just want to stay alive and stay out of the garbage.

No Idea
01:54

Another day, another morning, another hour in my bed curled up in a ball.
Take a shower, take a moment, take forever to decide if there’s really enough time.
I want to know what it is I’m waiting for.
I wonder what it’s like to be so sure of yourself.
And I know I have no idea – and I cannot find the time to try
I’ll just write a song and pretend there’s nothing wrong with me
What do you know; it’s time to go to sleep!
Self-destructive, unproductive – stay away from me
Motivation, less frustration is where I’d like to be
One of these days, one of these mornings, one of these moments
I’ll move past
the giant pebble in my path.
And I know I have no idea – and I know that I have so much fear
And I know that I am running around in circles with myself

I’m starting to think that it’s only me
who needs to be reassured constantly
You’re always here in my personal space
and where I want you is a hard thing to place
and I’m not going anywhere
always taking great care to stay up,
from under the earth, surrounded by worms
thinking about how it never made sense
And running around, hiding from sounds,
Never leaving the shell I made
I’m gone.I’m gone.
Just how I wanted it all along.
The water in your lungs drains out
through your palms and cheeks and mouth.
Onto lines and dots in red,
Take back everything I said!
I’m going home through the water alone
and you are beginning to see things clearly.
Gone
