i needed to rest i felt like i’d fallen
i needed a wish i needed to stall
i needed to try something at all
then she came to me
she wanted the best she wanted it all
she wanted to sell everything off
and i’d take the rest she wanted to get
me off and running
i like being around her i’m seeing the counselor
i’m seeing the counselor
now every night when i’m in her arms
i feel like peter stealing from paul
but i can’t resist i’m thinking of this
and she’s there sleeping
she talks a lot about the future
and i’m on the edge and i’ll jump off
with her on the ledge and everything stops
feeling real sad
i like being around her
i’m seeing the counselor
i’m seeing the counselor

running in place
everything i’ve known
losing face losing faith
dropping keys and quarters
i’ve been praying i'd do it on my own
i don’t know the answers anymore
you said i’ll be around if you need some helping out
i’ll be around if you need some helping out
you'd get me home
inner state going crazy every things in storms
i don’t know why you'd even try to buy a home
everything’s crazy everything’s making me want to throw
out the things that i used to adore

to everyone's surprise i'd been there all the time
it felt so right shedding off the lie
figure me out figure me out figure me out
you'd save me the time
i don't like the sight of me in your eyes
i'm naked all the time do you know what it's like?
figure me out figure me out figure me out
you'd save me the time

like for a lucky clover i search over and over
i just see three leaves but i know i'm getting closer
whoah, hey it's alright i'll get it on the next try
i push over a boulder i swim through a dark river
i'm always battling through some storm
lightning/thunder
whoah, hey
it's alright
i'll get it on the next try
i got a little folder where i put my thoughts in order
i get inspired then the flame begins to smolder
whoah, hey it's alright we'll get it on the next try
just need space time & space

let's get away
too many yesterdays playing out the same
we're hitting walls, backing up, and then going down a wrong way
im feeling you up we're feeling down
fuck it we're fuckin around
wear a tiara, we're like royals now
we're the last two people in town
gone astray: two ghost ships tossed by a rogue wave
end up on shore
just castaways looking for a plane
im feeling you up we're feeling down
fuck it we're fuckin around
wear a tiara, we're like royals now
we're the last two people in town

i want my soul, my head, my heart, and hands in harmony
i think i'm getting there but bebe please be patient with me
so i'm walking it off right through the thick fog
i'm praying to god and i'm sailing on
i must apologize for causing all these problems lately
not sure what's going on i think the world's accelerating

true to form my hobo dreams
came to life in slo mo scenes
biking round down unpaved streets
curse it all lose my leashes
from the bowels of the east coast
and the wilds of the left mind
im the key to the keystone in your life
i wanna treat you
i’ll let you talk then run out quick
crash through walls then feel sick
be real bold like a promo deal
see the sheep there dozing peacefully
from the bowels of the east coast
and the wilds of the left mind
im the key to the keystone in your life
i wanna treat you
im the piece of the puzzle you couldnt find
i wanna treat you

feeding all the poor
01:54
|
|||
|
i don't need a reason
it's a brand new season
i'm revving up my moped to ride
everything i ever meant
i'm saying on a pulpit
in the midst of post-apocalyptic night
i've been hard at work
feeding all the poor
they said fill my little cup
help me to get whole again
escaping from a snake pit
breaking down the markets
even with the dissension, i try
i've been hard at work
feeding all the poor
they said fill my little cup
help me to get whole again

downtown
then over west
and things were at the time kinda feeling tense
the music loud
we’re eating bread
knowing all the while you were over dressed
i didn’t know
what you said to me
was from a comedy
i didn’t know what you said that time was a comedy line yeah
i was breaking out
of feeling stressed
the plans were at the time kinda under-prepped
but over rounds
of getting red
i had to feel it out like it was a test drive
i didn’t know
what you said to me
was from a comedy
i didn’t know what you said that time was a comedy line yeah
i’m thinking how
i’m doing yet
and looking at the lines in your face i guess
i’m freaking out
and feeling glad
everything’s wild in a friday night spiral
i didn’t know
what you said to me
was from a comedy
i didn’t know what you said that time was a comedy line

11. |
why don't you and me
02:02
|
|||
|
for today i’m reminded
my thoughts aren’t always real life
i’m negative a pessimist
don’t know why i gotta be like this
why don't you and me forget about these complicated questions?
every time i look around i see the same things
hear the same sounds and everyday is like the last
just waiting for a comet to go past
why don't you and me forget about these complicated questions?
that we will find a way around

june get out the road
no dont go
we slow down at the sight of the wreckage
each one needs some no one couldnt guess that
and the brightest stars are just on fire
june get out of the road
no dont go
lights flipped on no signs pointed
everything i worked on well its my best guess
each eye turned around to my brains reply
