Pathos

Days, I know that they seem, like never-ending dreams except we don't sleep at all
Time, seldom do we see who we've come to be, we stay hidden from the world
I'll drown out the light, but I still won't sleep tonight,
No I still won't sleep at all, inside my mind
Fate, I know you don't exist, you'll be forever missed, I felt freedom from the fall
Life, another jaded game, we all end up the same, as we stay hidden from the world

and you get so sad over trivial little things
keep that smile upon your face
like you smile every time she sings, smile every time she sings
waste no time today, you gotta make someone of yourself
waste no time today, or you'll be nothing like everyone else,
nothing like everyone else
make a moment for the movies, like the movies on the silver screen
make a moment for the movies, one that everyone's to see
if you love it, it's important to me
a feature film life of me

Brittle Faith
03:47
|
|||
|
This brittle faith, helps me breathe again
smears a smile upon my face, the drugs start to sink in
don't hold me back, I'll see right through
what's a hopeless fucked up youth like me to do
I've got no one to go to, ambition is bent,
I guess that's all my fault to an extent
one moment please, apologies
I'm a liar and a stealer,
a lazy bum drug dealer
I never had the chance to be much more
A trouble-minded cheater, a bastard bottom-feeder
a parasite, that just can't win the war against my thoughts
two years later, home again
mom and dad won't let me in
stared at me; a bitter glance, they said son you had your chance

Another One
02:46
|
|||
|
I went overboard
for another one
Power lines, running from
Green roots of evidence
Blossom young
and reveal themselves to me
I feel tangled in my face
My eyes run the course of space
Smooth as an arrow flies

Fishing
03:46
|
|||
|
Patient and still in boats above the water
still nothing caught with all that I taught her
Circles in circles with line that ends
Lessons and love, good weather and friends
Still nothing, but that's okay
Still nothing, but I'll remember today
Fishing
Flannel shirts and dirt on our elbows and knees
Still go again tomorrow when the leaves fall off the trees
Four hours pass by, but we don't seem to notice
And now we head home, yeah these are times that I'll miss

Well I thought twice about what you said
in fact, I thought once and it was outta my head
I kinda just wish you'd leave me the hell alone
and you came and went like the devil sent
your firey red hair, and your morals bent
your evil side is the only one that's shown
and I fell for you, and I hate you now
well you linger on, and I push away,
and you kiss my cheek, and I claim I'm gay
but your drunkenness is about as ugly as it gets
and your ass looks flat, with that muffin top
quit drinking babe, it's best to stop
at 3 or so, you're quite a bitch so far

With My Best Friend
02:26

On the road again, with my best friend (with my best friend)
secret history, trailing miseries again (once again)
at the gas-n-go, 2 packs of red and gold powdered donuts, grandma's home (grandma's home)
with my best friend (my best friend)
Dick jokes and hairy faces, getting high in fucked up places,
coffee black and flavorless is good (well it tastes so fucking good)
breakfast is never needed, fall down you know I bleeded
call me a loser and laugh it off (we'll just laugh it off)
with my best friend (where's the pizza?)
and when we fuck, you know it feels good (louder)
and when we fuck, you know it feels so good (especially when our friends join in)
with my best friend!

April 5th 1995, mom and dad never felt so alive

September 31st, its 2-0-1-3, 2 weeks in still staring at my laundry
don't look now, I'm wasted can't you see, But I still passed my test with a 93
I'll be home in 6 weeks, 6 weeks from today, I promise I'm okay
March 9th, 1995, remember mom you were only 25
not long I was learning how to drive, thanks to dad now I'm happily alive
October 1st, 2000 and 13, I'm showering every day, yeah trust me mom I'm clean

Discover Life
03:43
|

|
It's all a hoax, another scam,
I've been thinking long and hard about who I am
I'll turn around, fulfill my strife
Run so far away discover life
And harsh mistakes, that you can't undo
let me tell you all how I've made a few
Well but that's alright, I've learned not to care
If I know one thing, It's that this life isn't fair
I don't need your sympathy, I just need a better view
A brand new plan, A different plot, A blueprint that is bulletproof
Trust in me, believe that I won't lie, We'll pack our shit and leave,
We'll forget to say goodbye.
Let's start again, All over new,
those fallacies you preached were never true.
You promised me, I'd do great things
But here I am again staring at ceilings
Of this empty room, full of wasted space,
no this isn't home, it's a washed up place
That I've come to know, I've come to need
if it weren't for here, tell me where the hell I'd bleed

Scarlet Rose Petals
04:18

Scarlet rose petals, falling from the sky,
landing in my hand
This is how I see the world, this is how I feel normal
This is how I understand
I once wrote you, a letter to a friend,
you forgot to write me back though
The voice inside my mind, tries to tell me, I'm alive
But I'm not, this I know
Coldest winter breeze, these thoughts are my disease
and I wanted you to know
that I am still depressed, I hope you're not like me
Actually, never mind.
Dried up rose petals, raining from the clouds,
covering the ground
This is how it really is, This is how I really live
This is how I see myself

Roots

Locked up inside of herself
paper cuts and pen marks are hell
wheels click long after now, I'm a real fucking help
I think I've had enough
All out of smokes what the hell
eight in the morning the church bell
trash trucks here every day, Jesus I already fell
I think I've had enough
I think I've had enough to drink

Why can't you see my heart, through my eyes
Uncertainty bleeds through the cracks, to strip the fragments from our lives
and I will find the answers, buried in the clouds, right beneath a dim sky
and I can see you falling, as these fists of mine remain clenched the whole time
I can see right through your paper mind
It crumbles like these calloused hands, you held then left behind
How don't you see the drugs in my eyes
It occurred to me, I'm dependent on your lies,
ask yourself the question, is anger the intention alone in disguise
Furthermore, beyond this, who's to blame, The honest, it's on you , I rely
out in the cold, it's getting old, say your goodbyes.

Motion Sickness
02:52

Well we used to gaze at the yarn in the sky
softly suspended against our eyes
along the ripples of trees
it's okay, it's only raining in my blue heart
you know I always set you apart
so stick around if you please
and every summer breeze says it's okay to forget
I keep your smile in my pocket, still I never regret
and there's a lyric I was saving
it was waiting for you
it said I love you, but you never came
you were sitting lonely across the hall
I wanted to shout and confess it all
but I was scared
another day, and still I try to get over it
I lay around and I feel like shit,
but there's a moment worth shared

Lost All My Pennies
02:46
|

Invite me over, we'll stare at pretty walls,
and smiling, we'll send our
heartfelt silence, eye to eye,
hand in hand
your rainbow palette, disguised in the black seams,
I've seen in my dreams, all of the trails left behind
the moments of every fiber,
sinking their letters in between the lines,
of a song about being lonely
defiled my pen with a drop of liquid desire
spring water breathing, I'll drink for a day, then fight off the thirst
for fear of overfill
and I lost all my pennies, throwing them in wells,
in hopes that my dreams of kissing your hand
would follow through

Button up your shirt and walk with me
talk like me, you'll get the job
Look into the back of the car trunk
shitty golf clubs, I got the job
Here's your key, the carts are here
Don't waste time, you'll be just fine
Johnny D is driving by me
Big red steering, I like you son
Laying down last day of high school
yellow ball sinks once again
driving home last night a cartboy
my old friend
Takes two boys to take out the trash
Maybe not, it's just more fun
in the barn the beer will stash
I promise you, it wasn't us
Half smoke here and a half smoke there
feel the sun, slowly burn your nose
In this line of dirty carts
I'm trying Mike, It's this goddamn hose.
Driving down, the 15th hole,
almost got hit by some asshole
spinning carts, it's closing time
Call him in, to pull out carts
I need a drink, Walsh is on the chart
Betty's here, go pick her up.
Wash the deck, and steal a Twix
The guys on the wheel are a bunch of dicks,
never mind they just paid me.
Park the cart, that barn is big.
I think I'll smoke another cig,
Put it out right in the grass.
(Goodbye Twin Shields, Goodbye Old friend, Goodbye Karen)

Been running away from life, keeps on putting me down
been waiting for the time, but it never comes around
days keep on riding, I just keep trying, I'll just wait for you here
Lonely beaches of shallow lives, not a footprint in the sand
Stuck in glasses of red wine, never leaves my hand
nights keep on riding, I just keep sighing, I'll just wait for you here
Once again I tried to say, wouldn't wish it on you any day
didn't mean to make you run away, didn't mean to make you go
And the words I meant to say, although they sound a bit cliché,
you can't forgive me yesterday, but we still have tomorrow, tomorrow

I Drone Alone
01:57
|
|||
|
Sifting through the earthed
alluring and mild pain
wishing there was something there
have we lesser days
of living in lesser ways
are we prone to live alone at last?
the warming yellow hue
moments long overdue
glimmers only those I know
a scratchy voiceless cue
tired like your whimpering
I killed myself the other day
There's still the sound of teardrops
running down my hands
a loud and endless cutting tone
I drone alone, I drone alone

We Went Out for Coffee
04:05
|

|
Stuck in trees inside her mind, along she came and left me blind
it's Autumn now the leaves come down, and watch me gaze at looks profound
Now I'm wishing I was here with you
inside of me there's nothing left to lose
only if there was a way to say
How I'm feeling about this every day, hey hey
Warm dry air and cigarettes, books on the shelf the red sun sets
winding roads and finding notes, in the cracks of all that floats
I went out once again
To have coffee with my friend
