Well, alright
I guess I'll see you on the other side
of this bridge above the waters of
a river that divides
distant souls that once were close
are no longer intertwined
they unwind
And I can barely see
your face as it fades into my memory
Still, I swore I saw you sleeping
with your love beneath a tree
In a forest unfamiliar
filled with faces young and free
When I got up close
a thought arose
It became so clear to me
This was not reality
as you faded to
the obscurity
of a dream
When I awoke
you were nowhere to be seen
And round, and round, and round
we tumble down
with the sound
of something lost that can't be found
Was it ever there?
So give me evidence you still exist
as I sift
through this mess up in my head
Can't find nothing here
Suddenly, I remember
that morning in September
the morning that we met
And we sung our song so softly
as people drank their coffee
and smoked their cigarettes
And when we reach the end of the path ahead
which we tread
Well, I know you'll be my friend
and we'll meet again
And if Chicago winters grow to cold
I'll hit the road
You'll be the first to know
when I'm on my way back home
And I'll see you then
Yeah, I'll see you then

Lost without a plan
Off in Nowhere Land
Dreaming only for today
To tell you the truth
I don't know why I choose
To pass the time away
Off in Nowhere Land
Away we run to play pretend
Every adventure we soon forget
Is it a nightmare, is it a dream?
We're tangled in this twisted fantasy
Why would we leave?
We were made to believe that the fun would never end
Lost in nowhere land
Indulging past our hearts content
Never thinking of the day
We'll wonder where this went
Lost in nowhere land
We're lost in nowhere land

I've been waiting all my life
to break it down to you
I've been wasting all my time
just to find something to do
I've been hoping holding you
would bring some kind of peace
I've been hoping holding you would
bring something close to me
But if the waters too deep
and if the wall is too high,
well babe I'm still learning
I spend days just thinking bout
the way I'm going down
If you wanna come babe
it'd be nice to have you around
If the walls could some how move,
maybe you'd run and I'd run too
But if the waters too low
and if the bridge is falling
well I would wait a million years,
to listen to your happy tears

A wifi router,
a sharks head,
a skull,
and a photo
of carrie
fisher
on the
mantle
Bare walls!
Smiling faces!
These kids
feel so much
I don't know
how they handle it

I'd rather be in love,
but this is something different
and I do everything I can
to be good enough
I see the way you look
at her
your eyes are shining
a circle on the way
I fight an uphill battle
one in a million lonely people
wake up pieces of unknown feelings
I'd rather be in love,
but this is something different
and so i call you up
I'm standing in the kitchen
you say you want me there
i lie and say I'm busy
making hot sauce and ramen
one in a million lonely people
wake up pieces of unknown feelings

Brendan - Friend

I'm meeting you
Again
Seeing myself
Through a friend
When I feel low
You told me,
"Just take it slow and
Move on"
There wasn't space
Where you grew up
But you listened
Since I could talk
When I feel low
You told me,
"Just take it slow and
Move on"
I called you miles from home
You told me it's not about
Being strong, just
Move on

You sing a song for the people now
I wonder how
You forgot about
All of the time
That I had changed
But somehow now you're still the same
I thought you'd care more
I thought you'd try
I got excited
For the first time
Seasons change and I think of you
I wonder how you are
After all you put me through
Still in love with you
Funny voice and pretty mouth
Everything I'm not
What's the point of being all I want
When I thought you'd care more
I thought you'd try
I got excited
For the first time

Ima - Common Cold
03:25
|

A warm feeling
Behind my eyes
Like an embrace
On the inside
And such a sad thing it is
What makes me feel alive
Is truly not mine
And when we speak
I can't look you in the eye
Somehow I'm afraid
You might read my mind
And god, help me, if you did
There's a reason I try to keep it all hid
You could say love is a serious illness
And I am very sick
But you got what you want
And sorry's all I get
From your lips
I can't talk to my friends about
I know they feel the same about it

Why are you so sad,
fireman?
You did everything you could
to save my cat
It's her time at last
I know that every second matters
you still stick around
Down below
her ashes scatter
and mix with the ground
Face it, no one knows it's their time
Taste the golden rays of sunshine
I know better now

Venus Milo - Antecedent
03:51

Being stuck between here and there
Being stuck between here and anywhere else
Standing open I think I might have some potential
Closed shut I don't take myself seriously enough
In this day and age
apathy is overplayed
I have a duty as an artist
To avoid being clichéd
On what better conditions
could care lay antecedent
than for the purpose of injecting
the world with
meaning?
Who am I to think myself equipped
to light a fire i know can not be lit
Gotta get my head out of the clouds
and come back down
to earth
where I've got a life to live

Sitting down to enjoy my drink,
While sipping it I do not think,
I drop it on the floor Rest in Peace
Getting on my hands & knees
The spill it turns into the sea,
Perspective is a marvelous thing
The pull rug turns into a forest,
The ceiling fan it hums a chorus
so consistently the wind can't keep up
Furniture becoming plateaus
the US southwest couldn't rival,
it's all laid out right here in my head
And when life gets so bad you
cannot cope with it
just find
something that's been ignored by it
and hone in,
think about world within the
stories you told as a kid
the wonders in your soul
no wonder it won't go
Think of this house as a fortress,
set into it's locked coordinates,
Its all laid out right here in my head
counter-tops becoming battlements
imaginary men
they fight atop it
they're dying for what they believe
When life gets so bad you
cannot cope with it
just find
something that's been ignored by it
and hone in,
think about world within the
stories you told as a kid
the wonders in your soul
no wonder it won't
go ahead not another bi-ped
I feel real alive kid i feel real alive

Lobby Boy - Cafe (IA)
03:32

Curry stained tablecloth
Stitches coming undone
Blown out boombox
Snuck around my loved one
All the time I had
Ticks away in this fad
Under dim light
I examine glazed eyes
No I can't go unfilled sounds stay
I fall apart in this cafe
How could color feel oh so grey
I fall apart
Long strained roiboos
My pulse elevates
White dust placebo
Both your hands they shake
Smoke falls down your nose
What happened to your prose
Three weeks time I'm gone
Laid awake every dawn

Side by side out on the porch steps
Just come inside and we'll work it out
We should have left it all in Philly
Instead of dragging it out for so long
Blue eyes, did we even try?
Blue eyes, looking back in time

Go back home
The last place left to run to
When you're cold
And the world's been all too unkind
Home
Then you're old
Youth is a shadow stretching out behind you
No alone
You're mother used to hold you when you'd cry
Alone
Lost
Forgotten
Your place
In this world
Mon ami
C'est la vie
How lucky are you of all things
It's so strange
You've gone there and back again
Still the same
There's the tree I used to climb
Strange
Can't stay long
Running late to where I should've been
Brought my song
It's about all the things I've left behind
It's been a long
Time
Coming
You know
What I mean
When I sing
Mon ami
You're loved there above all other things
