Twilight Zone

just another mistake for me to never let myself forget
throw myself on the sword and take the blame
i can't forgive myself
somehow I deserve to atone for things I've never done
you've never seen it before
reach out your hand but it's far away
the line between us is angry and uncrossable
i'll never do it again
once was enough to reveal that I'm not suited for this kind of love
once was enough to explain how I could never be secure enough
how can I go back
when there's still so much I haven't done
you've never seen it before
reach out your hand but it's far away
the line between us is angry and uncrossable
i'll never do it again
but how can I be sure
it's so confusing to separate
from beliefs I used to celebrate
we've taken control
you've never seen it before
reach out your hand but it's far away
the line between us is angry and uncrossable
i'll never do it again no no
i'll never do it again no no
i'll never do it again

WINTER IN LIMBO
the winter was an exercise in trying to stay calm
and I learned so much I would have rather not
in this one-sided conversation
my past goes at self-preservation
never seemed to want it bad enough
and the new year always sucked
but this was still the worst one yet
and I still don’t know what any of it meant
there’s lots of ways to kill my time and I’m mastering them all
yeah time is just a gift I never asked for
it’s something that I gave away while
flattened underneath the weight of
losing some imaginary score
while I pull out every grey hair
from my sad old stoner’s head
i still won’t know what any of it meant
and I could dissect every choice I made in the garden of my past
wince at every blunder on my lonely winding path
i could strangle every victory
with the vice of old regret
and I still won’t know what any of it meant

Pretty Scary
02:59
|

secret sounds inside the house
you don’t know the half of it
why should I be singled out
you don’t know the half of it now
pry the boards up from the floor
you don’t know the half of it
ghosts that weren’t there before
you don’t know the half of it
i thought it would help to isolate myself
but you know how that shit’ll go south so fast
tiny spaces in between
from the corner of my eye
just before I fell asleep
from the corner of my eye
i thought it would help to isolate myself
but shadows are sneaking around
and if I made a sound would you answer me
i thought it would help to isolate myself
but you know how that shit’ll go south so fast
the palm of my hand
as quiet as mice with a blanket around my head
you don't know the half of it
you don't know the half of it
would you answer me

loretta you’re just like a sparrow to me
how you hide all your secrets down under your wings
and when you find yourself flying away
it’s so hard to stay aloft while you carry their weight
loretta you see how it comes back on you
all the shadows that you gather up to cover the truth
but now it seems that your cover’s been blown
will you fly off again and abandon your home
loretta you’re just like a sparrow to me
how you puff out your feathers for lying
it seems that you’d just as soon give up your wings
you’re a sparrow that’s tired of flying

Bane vs. Batman

did I really make it out of the woods for this
would it have been better never to try to come back at all
now rub the mud from out of your eyes
wander through the dirt that you thought you left behind
while the path was winding
how did we let it get this far
now that we’ve looked through the curtain
to see where we can never go
did i really make it out of the woods for this

Sleep Standing Up
03:27
|
|||
you like to think that you’re slick
floating around in secret over the street
i can make out your silhouette
casting shadow puppets through the screen
stay out of sight
blending into the background when it gets dark
i can only see you if I squint my eyes really hard
you pick a safe place to hide
but I keep track of the shadows on the walls
dancing over the flames
give your hiding spots away
if I could sleep standing up
if I could slip out of consciousness for a while
eyes forgot how to shut
if I could remember a dream after it was done
little moth’s wings
little moth’s wings
little moth’s wings

Marcie Make It Better
04:02
|
|||
the snowstorm hit our town not long before nightfall
the roads are closing down again
the shops are turning off the little lights in their windows
to say tonight just stay in your bed
but marcie knows how to make things better
she's got both her hands in my hair
i close my eyes in the darkness now
i could be anywhere
cuz i'm so preoccupies when emotions get stressful
living in these uncertain times
disappears for a second
when marcie knows I don't need anything on my mind
and marcie knows how to make things better
she's got both her hands in my hair
i close my eyes in the darkness now
i could be anywhere

Buzz Lightyear
03:45
|

i'm feeling not so great
but I know I'll navigate myself away
it was a dangerous mistake
but I know I'll navigate myself away
and I don't understand
i got the markings on my hand
i need a friend just to remind me how to deal
with this half lucid dreamer state
but I know I'll navigate myself away
and I was brought up not to hate
yeah I just learned to navigate myself away
and it pins me to the floor
can't see the demon at my door
made of smoke and breathing fire over me
he's got me paralyzed in fright
he flickers just beyond my sight
how can I navigate to someplace I can't see
i'm feeling not so great
feeling not so great
but i know

The Flu
02:34
|
|||
kiss under the golden dome
the night I knew I would catch your cold
earmuffs and a runny nose
kick through the snow when the pipes froze
and it’s dark out on my way to work
and it’s dark when I make it home
and my mail’s still getting sent to my old zip code
the winter that you dyed your hair
knit me a scarf that I’ll never wear
not even five when the sun goes down
we'll watch the snowdrifts take over the the town
and my mom’s coming down with a scratchy throat
and my baby cousin’s got the flu
and it’s only a matter of time ’til it gets me too
snuck in a space heater, well we tried
oh but my landlord wouldn’t let it slide
so we put all the blankets in a pile
and tangled up where it was warm inside
and you buried your freezing fingers
under my arms for the entire storm
and like them this moment is tiny and perfect and warm

First Responder
02:49
|
|||
i've always been running from you
but now is not the time
to relapse back to this paralyzing victimhood
i've always distracted myself
but these thoughts are so intrusive
i can't relax long enough to do any good
and you don't have to try to convince me life's worth living
cuz i've heard it before
i don't wanna die
i'm just confused and desperate
a victim of these troubling thoughts
a victim of these troubling thoughts
a victim of these troubling thoughts
i've always been running from you
but this darkness licks my vision
i peer into its depths til i'm completely blind
i've always distracted myself
but i'm running out of excuses
entangled in its tendrils til i'm trapped inside
and you don't have to try to convince me life's worth living
cuz i've heard it before
i don't wanna die
i'm just confused and desperate
a victim of these troubling thoughts
and it might be easy for you
to just be strong
but i never quite got my mind figured out
now it's all wrong
and you don't have to lie to convince me life's worth living
cuz i've heard it before
i'm not gonna die
i'm just trapped in a cycle
recycling all these troubling thoughts
recycling all these troubling thoughts
recycling all these troubling thoughts

Foolish to Assume
03:20
|
|||
thought i knew the answer when i was just a boy
i had that dumb resolve that nothing could destroy no
but i've grown flimsy now as many years have passed
learned the hard way yeah that nothing really lasts
perfect like it was in the past
and oh the injustice of it all
it's been tearing at my soul for way too long
wondering where the hell i went wrong
see what i've become and move on
she used to come around maybe once or twice a year
plans to the wayside playing everything by ear yeah
late night rendezvous in the backseat of my car
feelings left unsaid just in case we missed the bar
but you know i never could see that far
and oh the injustice of it all
it's been tearing at my soul for way too long
wondering where the hell i went wrong
see what i've become and move on
things i deprive myself of
for reasons vague to me now
how do you like me now
thought i knew it all when i was just a kid
i never put much thought into the selfish things i did
but all that stupid shit has caught up to me now
made me wanna kick and scream and cuss out loud
when i learned what all the fuss was about
and oh the injustice of it all
it's been tearing at my soul for way too long
nights i'm still baying at the moon
it can get like this when i'm lonely in my room
it was foolish to assume anything
just where i belong
wondering where the hell i went wrong
see what i've become and move on
