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

WINTER IN LIMBO
This 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
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
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
Thought it would help to isolate myself
But you know how that shit’ll go south so fast
Little spaces in between
From the corner of my eye
Just before I fell asleep
From the corner of my eye
Thought it would help to isolate myself
But shadows are sneaking around
If I made a sound would you answer me
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’RE JUST LIKE A SPARROW
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 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

SLEEP STANDING UP
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

MARCIE MAKE IT BETTER
The snowstorm hit our town not long after 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
Protesters on the corner are telling the people
We're living in uncertain times
But I'm staying in the dark
Because 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
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

The Flu

THE FLU
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
