For people of modern spaces They want you on all your bases, yeah Within two shakes of a lamb's tail Within two shakes of a lamb's tail My world's been cruising, it's a massive distraction And it pushes the perspective that I'm never enough And I'm just trying to push myself at a productive pace But it feels like I'm falling on my face all day I'm saying some things are stressing me out these days Some things are stressing me out these days I know I know I know but I can't keep calm Some things are stressing me out these days Some things are stressing me out these days I know I know I know know know, I know! They send you an SMS and If it shakes to your core, you'll answer Within two shakes of a lamb's tail Within two shakes of a lamb's tail Your problem's my problem cause you've demanded my conscience And I can't solve a problem cause I'm working or grinding And I ended up crying in my bed last night Cause I've failed as a bad lover, son, and friend all day I'm saying I just can't keep up And after all, it's my fault But I'm okay Well I guess that I'm okay It's just that some things are stressing me out these days Some things are stressing me out these days I know I know I know, I know, I know Some things are stressing me out these days Some things are stressing me out these days I know I know I know, I know, I know Some things are stressing me out these days It feels like everything is stressing me out these days I know I know I know, I know, I know Some things are stressing me out these days It feels like everything is stressing me out these days I know I know I know

It's not like I don't want to hurry But the stress might shut me down It's like I'm working 11-7 Making time, and then counting it down Obligations I never wanted But I need them here right now It's kind of sick that when I'm away I move my whole week around All day Just to get paid But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets Running out of time just to fill my pockets With you, I might be fine, I can say I chose it Working all the time, I can say it's worth it But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets Running out of time just to get it over with You and I are fine, I can say I chose this Working all the time, I can say I chose this I guess Wish it were hard to say why I do this But the reason's so painfully clear I can't help an empty stomach Like I can't help seeing you It's not like it's that unpleasant But if I didn't need this I'd have no worries I just want to stay home I want to stay home I want to stay and find my friends And we will all stay up late And sleep through the day But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets Running out of time just to fill my pockets With you, I might be fine, I can say I chose it Working all the time, I can say it's worth it But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets Running out of time just to get it over with You and I are fine, I can say I chose this Working all the time, I can say I chose this I guess

Going Round 03:34
Stay up Let go I'll let you know If I ever come down I'm glad that you could be around And I'm on repeat After six rounds of Genny Cream But let's go dancing 'Cause right now, well, I don't know what's going 'round I don't know what is going 'round I don't know what is going 'round Tomorrow's on its own Alone But somehow I'll be awake And it's fine Y'know? I got enough on my plate today But when we go down to the Highest point in the neighborhood If they ever ask for me Tell them hey and I don't know what is going 'round I don't know what is going 'round I don't know what is going 'round Say it to me

Can't she tell I'm not, I'm not, I'm not the one? Expectation hits I got, I gotta run So back out to the world I go Same time as last week Can't she tell I'm Being honest when I say I couldn't know Surely next year is the year that I will grow Making time is everything I want to do Timing up the nights I have Hey, how are you? And I don't know what to do You don't know 'till you catch me Can't she tell I'm home? You know that I'm on my own When you call my name The same, I'm having a breakdown Keep me up, I love, I love not dreaming of Passing time hoping, hoping that it's enough Things are going better than they ever have Putting off, putting off the matter at hand So back out to the world I go Save my breath for occasion Can't she tell I'm home? You know that I'm on my own When you call my name The same, I'm having a breakdown Can't she tell I'm not, I'm not, I'm not the one?

In a glow of words, I saw it A million different ways How could she, not even I, know What it is that I was saying I should have had that glass of water But it'd only slow me down Cause in the moment, I'll say nothing But something must come out And it's easy to explain yourself When there's nothing to say And she'll read it in the morning And I'll read it just the same And it's easier to laugh it off Than never laugh again And she'll read it in the morning And never read it again

Much More 04:50
Nothing's where it used to be Back there when I stood so inspired And now she looks at him He looks like me I look for solace in the open And I feel that it's too late I say that will find a way, but I don't even know the name I gave you Do you know it? Was it my own? Was it someone that I thought you'd know? I'm not myself today But oh I'm much more If you see me some other time Baby, I'm yours And oh I'm much more I can show you a better time Show me the door I know it's hard to stay alone and stay amused I get bewildered as to which may be the true But it's me and you and my only line You can laugh but just this time I break a sweat when I am doing fine But now Getting lost in the charade I find myself and find my face And I use my best evade We should try another day I've nothing to say But oh I'm much more If you see me some other time Baby, I'm yours And oh I'm much more I can show you a better time Show me the door

The fork in the road What a truly compelling concept "The power of a choice" The power of a choice is so immense That when describing the fork in the road Each person can independently relate Whether it be a small choice or a big one The concept remains the same One road to rule them all And only sparsely given the option to redact Of course, there is no true redaction One may achieve the result of a prior road with a new road Much like a connecting side street However, much like the road before it The concept remains the same The power of a choice stands between it The road before the fork is paved in solid stone The immediate road, and the road we no longer see Though the road before the fork is entirely unchanged in its appearance It often differs with the wind The earth The wind The tides The moon The sun The orbit The stars The fork The road Sometimes we beg of the road to stay straight Like loyal followers on hands and knees, "I beg of thee" As loyal followers, we see signs telling of the road ahead But unlike the followers, the road has no power The road, despite being praised as the creator Is but the product of the follower The follower unknowingly built the road before it All roads before the current road are built by the follower The followers cannot conceive of it The followers of the road only understand one thing about the road The fork The power that stands between them and the road in front of them The followers look at the fork Stunned by it's presence Surprised of it's position Yet all too well knowing of its existence As the followers take their duty Deciding to step one way or the other They take two more steps Look behind them And see that the road is suddenly straight Which begs the question Was the fork even there to begin with?

No one seems to look at me Like you do on the silver screen I fall in love and fall into my seat And nonquixoticly we Oh We know We don't need a conversation Have you Run your fingers down my eyes Undressed the lines I memorized A life I've lived a million times In independent film Oh We know We don't need the complications Don't you know that You got me going the same It's a shame that I don't know who you are I could live forever Call your name Credits rolling and I want to be a star Not much that we can do except Please be kind, rewind And I could live forever Call your name Credits rolling and I want to be a star It's everything new Getting lost in a view No, no, no, no I can't keep my eyes away from your emotion Peeling fabric off the seats And peeling back my heart again But oh We know We don't need a conversation Don't you know that You got me going the same It's a shame that I don't know who you are I could live forever Call your name Credits rolling and I want to be a star Not much that we can do except Please be kind, rewind And I could live forever Call your name Credits rolling and I want to be a star

Carousel 07:23
It's an odd sort of way When there's nothing to say But you know her Not quite awake But not starting your day 'till it's over Keeping a well-oiled heart And coming too close to the start There's a long line of cars That have gone way too far to start over It was meant to be as it always has before, forever There's some nice words left to stay But the slides are still in place Wherever they may be But I'm keeping a well-oiled heart And coming too close to the start And there's a long line of cars That have gone way too far to start over All right now Oh my love Did it have to be so different? It goes against reason To make promises in method acting Oh my love Can you hear the silence coming? It's never that easy To hear the turning around Of the love, the laughs The hot in the head It's bright, it's red What was that you said? And your face, your eyes And everything fine Night after night It's proximity wine It's alive and I'm dead What was that you said? I was watching the traffic lights go green to red As you keep growing colder And I'm losing interest I'll do it again But with new goddamn pictures
10.
I've been driving for so long alive And I'm here and you are there And I've heard, and I've seen Something real enough to be a dream But it's only me Cause when the lights fade in And the sounds fade out There is not that much That I could be without when it's Home where I can sleep without my bones Can't stop from looking back Can't stop from watching the tapes I say that time in motion feels like something to save But my eyes are fixed on what's after the view But sometimes when i get away When I'm staying out And I stay awake And I learn from you That there is not a thing I could be without I know that I would miss everything about this With someone new And so I look into a sunset, and I feel real old And it is looking back at me like it is calling me home And some part of what I see breaks down on short stretches of I-90 That's all I am and where I'll be The traffic, fabric from the seats I'm missing something I can't see That's all I am, that's all I'll be That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all That's all I am, that's all I am That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all That's all, that's all, that's all I am That's all, that's all, that's all I am That's all I am, that's all I am That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all That's all I am, that's all, that's all That's all I am, that's all, that's all That's all, that's all, that's all I am That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all
