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

Fill My Pockets
04:04
|
|||
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?
02:21
|
|||
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

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?

I Want To Be A Star
05:45
|
|||
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

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

After The View
07:00
|
|||
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
