Hangover
04:01
|
|||
Roll over, out of bed.
What the fuck is that, splitting my head
Log in and, carry on
Keep pace with my, day job and
Day to day, week to week
No track to keep of, so to speak
Another fifth to, pass the time
Makes two months since we've, been inside
Stay safe and
stay sane
this hangover is
breaking my brain and
Pandemic
state of mind
seems I've lost track of time
five o'clock, log off
back to the store, to restock and
how these trips, entertain
and music's still my, Aeroplane and
get back, shack up
read a book with, rum in the cup and
how quick that, this has struck
oh how the situations gotten, so fucked
Stay safe and
stay sane
this hangover is
breaking my brain and
Pandemic
state of mind
seems I've lost track of time
rewind, press play
go through the motions, the same way
living days, on repeat
week after week you're, feeling beat
stay safe and
stay sane
this hangover is breaking my brain and
get robbed
walk back
seems these days are off track

Depth of Substance
03:44
|

Burnout for sure, can't seem to get a grip on
this ledge I hold, with the abyss below
This mental state, she'd say I drank too much to
Satiate, the equilibrium I know
If I should fall, can I count on you
To pick me up, when I'm down
And if I stumble will you see me through
And pick me up when I'm down
Consume my soul, I feel completely numb to
the outer world, but I'm right at home
Tea time again, please fix me up I need it
for the feeling, of another win
If I should fall, could I count on you
to pick me up, when I'm down
and if I stumble, please see me through
and pick me up when I'm down
And he, has no shame
getting loaded in the walk-in
Oh so much toil
for a crown of foil
If I should fall, can I count on you
to pick me up, when I'm down
and if I stumble, please see me through
And pick me up when I'm down

Sunup/Sunown
06:25
|
|||
Say won't you come around
Don't you know I'm done feeling unwound
Sunup and, sundown
I can tell you I'm doing better now
One year lost and down the hatch
completely lost, and completely unattached
Just want to, go back
Suspended plummet, no longer trying
trying to crash
I know you want me here
but I just can't stay
Feels like I'm dying when you
ask me, once again, don't you know it's not for me
Kick it back, why don't you coast
an escape is all I need the most
not feeling myself, I find
I'm mercurial, but I'll be alright
Left back, again
not given time of day, place, where or when
still left, behind
halfway from here and I'd feel fine
Dead end, I choose
an occupation I know I'm bound to lose
Drunk at home, to cope
with this shit-show, situation, but I'll hold onto hope
I know you want me here
but I just can't stay
feels like I'm dying when you
ask me, once again, don't you know it's not for me
And when I say I'm sorry
you know I just can't follow on
And you know I just don't dwell on those times
that you know I wish were gone
oh...
Say haven't you come around
Don't you know I'm no longer unwound
Sunup and, sundown
I know that I'm doing better now
No longer crashing and no longer falling
is that my future I hear calling
Happiness is in my grasp
Keep going forward, no need to turn, and look on back
I know you want me here
but I just can't stay
Feels like I'm dying when you
ask me, once again, don't you know it's when you
Ask me, once again, don't you know it's not for me.

Na, na, na, na-na-na, na, na
na, na, na, na-na-na, na, na
What I do, what I say
makes no difference anyways
Ask for this, try to do right
Better just get out of sight
Fuuuuuuck
This Shiiiit
Fuuuuuuuck
This Shiiiit
Must pay this, gotta submit
I just don't get this shit
Income tax, deduction
What a hell, of a function
Better that, than surrender
oh don't change your gender
some days are better than
this world can understand
na na na na-na-na
Good thing I'm not
taking demands from plutocrats
Fuuuuuuck
This Shiiiit
Fuuuuuuuck
This Shiiiit
Find normalcy in absurdity
don't be silly you know, you are free
insatiable engine of, authority
another institution, bled by entropy
pay for this, get that
more demands, more demands
pay for this, get that
fuck this, fuck that
Fuuuuuck
Fuuuuuck
Fuuuuuuuuck
This Shiiiit

Quarantine
01:36
|
|||
Stuck in quarantine, self-isolation seems
to be getting the best of me, stuck for awhile
Stuck in this place, with no meaning of space
or time, which passes us by
March never ends, but when April begins
I'll still have the same job I intended to leave
And winter to spring has me going insane
cabin fever sets in as the trees get their leaves
And up on the roof where the people all gather
it's all one can do in such odd times like these
when I hear a tune from a decade ago
with no self-isolation, or quarantine

Bluebird
06:12
|
|||
I watch my friends, fly away
But this little bluebird, has to stay
I've clipped my wings, and now
all I can do is sing
From this perch, all alone in the
light of day
The ground looks to be
a thousand feet below me
And the people, they walk free
and don't bother to see me
Maybe it's for the best
These feelings are always blue in my chest
And I know, I wouldn't be
Very good company
My nest grows dark as the, sun goes down
And the perch has grown quiet
with no one, around
There's a coming storm, and I've got
no place, to stay warm
If this nest, fills with water I'll
surely drown
I can feel the patter, of the rain
It's dark and cool, but it numbs
my pain
Lightning breaks the sky, and if I could
Away I would fly
But the storm grows, and my hope can
only weigh
Crack of thunder, splits the night
This little bluebird, can take off and fly
So lay me down to rest
Maybe it's for the best
Though I pray, I'll see that morning light
Bluebird, fly away
Bluebird, fly away
Bluebird, fly away
Bluebird, fly away

Teenage Doldrums
04:13
|
|||
Coasting through life
on the day to day
Daydreams and memories
another time and place
I don't have any worries
an early slice of life
I wish I had that vigor
every once and a while
Drifting through
another place I knew
under crystalline skies
in a heat wave in June
Feels like a never-ending
cycle though
when you replay the tune
playing on your phone
All these teenage doldrums
seem so far away
No responsibilities
and everything's okay
They said adulthood was hard
but I don't pay them no mind
And get drunk in my teen years
and sober up in five
Drifting to
another place I knew
under crystalline skies
in a heat wave in June
Feels like a never-ending
cycle though
when you replay the tune
playing on your phone
Flow, the tide, pulls you in
Beginning, to end
How, bright, your smile
When I come to
Awakened from a trance
and lost inside my head
Juggling eight priorities
but I'm not finished yet
Drifting to
another place I knew
under crystalline skies
in a heatwave in June
Feels like a never-ending
cycle though
when you replay the tune
playing on your phone
Drifting to
another place I'll know
perhaps a decade forward
in two years or so
Until then
guess I'll linger on these hopes
that life had in store
oh so long ago...

Why can't you, just be good to me
Why can't you, just be
good to me
you're empty
Why can't you, just be
who I need
I'm dizzy
Why can't you, just be
here with me
I'm lonely
Why can't you, just be
good to me, you're empty
and why can't you, just be
who I need, I'm dizzy
and why can't you, just be
here with me, I'm lonely
and why can't you, just be
good to me.
You're a ghost
you hid, with a hollow gaze
I see right through your ways
Why can't you, just be
good to me
You're empty
Why can't you, just be
who I need
I'm dizzy
Why can't you, just be
good to me, you're empty
and why can't you, just be
who I need, I'm dizzy
and why can't you, just be
good to me, I'm lonely
and why can't you, just be
good to me
And why can't you...

Say Something
03:16
|
|||
I'll always find a way, there's always something to say when I'm drinking,
I'm just a piece of clay, waiting on the day to shape me how,
Do you put up with me? Time sure as fuck ain't free and it's shrinking,
I just don't want to be, another guy that you're wasting your time on.
Say something.
Don't want to make you wait, I got a lot on my plate, work and all that.
I know it's getting late, just ignore my bait need you here tonight.
Maybe it's my fate, with all this shit on my plate, feel a bit trapped.
It's a feeling I hate, just want to tell you straight I'll be alright.
Say something,
Do you think that we can find a way?
I know you have to leave someday.
I guess I don't know what to say,
Say something for me.
Say something for me,
Say something for me,
Say something for me,
Could you say something.
Do you think that we can find a way?
I know you have to leave someday.
I guess I don't know what to say,
Say something.

Oh the bluest skies, and those verdant hills
Drunk on High Street and I'm, chasing thrills
Oh all the places, I've left behind
'Cause I've got Columbus, on my mind
Those bricks of scarlet, and those concrete grays
Cut through almost any, cloudy day
but it's 2 A.M., on Park and Vine
and I got the Short North, on my mind
Oh all the people I, left behind
'Cause I've got Columbus, on my mind
Been in D.C. six years and, so I find
I've got Columbus, on, my, mind
Well I'm roaming the Short North, I'm feeling good
A retreat to nature, in Blendon Woods
'Cause when I'm home I, need to just unwind
And I got German Village, on my mind
You're moving slow there's, no worries here
So far away but, oh so near
Into my heart it's, so deep entwined
'Cause I've got U.A., on my mind
Scioto banks and, fireworks ablaze
Fourth of July and, up for the chase you see
and from suburb to city, in minutes time
'Cause I've got Hilliard, on my mind
Oh all the people I, left behind
'Cause I've got Columbus, on my mind
Been in D.C. six years and, so I find
I've got Columbus, on, my, mind
Well it's been a while, since I've been gone
But it's homeward bound, that I'm drawn
Oh those views from Juniper, and that skyline
'Cause I've got Columbus, on my mind
Oh all the people I, left behind
'Cause I've got Columbus, on my mind
Been in D.C. six years and, so I find
I've got Columbus, on, my, mind

Spring/Summer
04:10
|
|||
2020 was
the sum of all fears
Protests and shelter in place
Oh we missed a year
Missed out on parties
Family and friends
Missed opportunities at love
and all of these plans
But forward we tread, I just
Want to look ahead
Oh your Spring's arrived
Resurrecting you
Oh your Summer's back
It can't be true
Can't wait, to progress
Out of, this entire mess
Oh how strange
These past months have been
Broken down twice before
and once within
One shot to ease the stress
Two to cover the rest
Return to public space
It's so good to see your face
Oh, all we lost
The massive human cost
Back on the floors again
It sure doesn't feel like zen
But forward we tread, I just
Want to look ahead
Oh your Spring's arrived
Resurrecting you
Oh your Summer's back
It can't be true
Can't wait, to progress
Out of, this entire mess
Renew, renew...
Resume, oh resume...
Oh your Spring's arrived
Resurrecting you
Oh your Summer's back
It can't be true
Can't wait, to progress
Out of, this entire mess
Can't wait, to resume all the
Shit we used to do
