Kids' Table

I’m on the sofa answering questions
I wish I never asked myself
And I can’t answer yours for you right now
‘Cause I think you’re not quite old enough
To think for yourself
And ‘cause I don’t want
Dirty looks from the dinner table
You’re in the backseat asking them questions
They wish you never asked yourself
Like “How do you tell a boy dog from a girl dog”
‘Cause your Catholic school science class
Hasn’t gotten there yet
And why does no-one answer?
Now you’re a grown up on the back foot
And maybe you’re fine or maybe I’m naive
For thinking that you’ll be able to navigate
In a world you’ve been taught
Is full of sin and dark
And this little light of mine
Doesn’t shine
As bright as it used to

Forward Thinking

With an eye ahead
There’s so much I could do
To make the world a little better
Little brighter for you
Always keeping up but never done
Always another race to run
Been having nightmares
What else is new
Gotta pull myself together
Gotta muscle through
It’s more than an inkling
It’s more than a wisp
It’s a dark premonition
Of a future without you
Of a future without you
Of a future without you
Of a future without you
Forward thinking
Forward thinking
Forward thinking
Forward thinking
Take the things you want
And the things you’ve got
Separate them, find the difference
Do you like it or not?
Always keeping up but never feeling done
Always another race to run
Gotta set my posture
For the times ahead
Hell and high water
Are at my door again
It’s more than I can bear
It’s more than I can take
It’d be a mistake
To face the future without you
To face the future without you
Face the future without you
Face the future without you
Forward thinking
Forward thinking
(Forward thinking)
Forward thinking
(I’ve never ever been accused of forward thinking)

Harden Your Heart
03:40
|
|||
|
You stand in the doorway
I smear on the highway
In your head
And when I come around again
You feign surprise
Oh my
As if I should be crushed by a sine wave
But I won’t pretend
That I’m coming home again
That’s not what you need
So please
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart
Your faith in the feeling
My love interceded
In your life
Fails to live up to the sad
Reality
That I
By and by
Will one day slip back
Into the night
But I won’t pretend
That I’m coming home again
That’s not what you need
So please
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart
I can deal with an itchy ear
If that means that I don’t have to hear
I can deal with an itchy ear
If that means that I don’t have to hear from you no more
Another try sent in the trash
Didn’t think I’d get away with that
Least I could do is to walk you back
From the Battery to the Galleries
But I hope that if you find him
He’ll hold you in his arms
And I hope that if you can’t forgive
At least you can move on from me
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart to me
Harden your heart to me

Am I supposed to pretend
That I haven’t seen your stories
Showcasing your new direction
In snippets of five seconds
But you haven’t told me anything
You never tell me anything anymore
But isn’t that what I asked for
And just for the record
I’m doing just fine
Yeah I’m doing alright
But it doesn’t seem like you are
So I won’t take yes for an answer
I guess that’s always been my problem
Why do I have to hold onto
Everyone who I ever took a shine to
Why do I have to hold onto
People like you
Hey, it’s been a few months
I’m back on my stuff
I’m back on my shit again
More gas at the pump than room in the tank
I don’t need love I need a friend
So much criticism of others comes from criticism of the self
You’d think that emo lyricists would find more rhymes for mental health
They’re all dropouts
From the American School for the Football anyway

Hey There Sports Fans
03:55

Hey there, sports fans
I’ve got a message from the top man
He said we’d get ‘em next time
If there were a next time to get
But instead
We got bought
We’ve been had
It’s roots up
A new town
New mascot
Don’t feel bad
‘Cause money talks
Louder than a million fans
Can scream
Don’t put on your sunglasses
It’s a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
And everything’s going my way
Your mom can’t make Sunday sauce
The way her grandma did
And even if she could
She never taught you how to make
Even her pale imitation of it
So you stare at a plate in the microwave
Fully aware you’re cut off from the old ways
If you want a taste
I can sell it back to you
If you want me to
Don’t put on your sunglasses
It’s a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
And everything’s going my
(What about us?)
What about you? You were doing just fine without, you know..
(What about the storyline?)
(What about love?)
A profitable chemical reaction, reaction.
(What about us?)
(Where do we go from here?)
I’ll split the state in two
You’ll pretend that you got to choose
What side of the divide you’re on
The length of your commute
Hey there sports fans I’ve got something to tell you
We found a new way to extract your value
By this time next quarter
All our dreams will have come true
Don’t put on your sunglasses
It’s a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
And everything’s going my way

Do What You Like

There’s no
Throne lotus
There’s no
Master plan
There’s no
Do-overs
So do
What you can
You let yourself wait far too long
Five years gone by they ate you up
You look back on all of those days
You wish you did things for yourself
You followed the rules way too long
Just to find nothing in return
You got to take control of things
Do what do what you like to do
Can you feel it yet?
It’ll take time to grow
So give yourself a fighting chance
Do what you can
Before you go
You let yourself wait far too long
Five years gone by they ate you up
You look back on all of those days
You wish you did things for yourself
You followed the rules way too long
Just to find nothing in return
You got to take control of things
Do what do what you like to do
So don’t fear the night
The needle or the knife
When the time is right for you
I did what I could
And what I could was good
And what I wanted, too
Yeah

Reap
02:45

Don’t wanna reap what I sow
Don’t wanna see what I do not know
I don’t believe in letting go
Just wanna feast with the sullen crows
Oh
Don’t wanna reap what I sow
Just want the things I’ve done to let me go
I fall asleep all alone
My karma’s got me in a chokehold
Oh
I am the best but
I am a mess and a half
Broken bottles
Got the goggles
And I’m out of cash
Painted red
This tangled thread
It’s time to get uncivilized
I roll the stone
But I haven’t grown
Pins in my fingers and
Ice in my bones
Needles that linger
Owe their provenance to
That which won’t take me alive

I can close the book
But I can’t turn the page
The fire beckons
I am tempted
I can’t lie to you
I see it all around me
Cut my hand on a sticker
Concealed a razor blade
I’d have to cross the highway
Just to buy a bandage
So I just walk away
I see the writing on the wall in my bedroom
I’m a quitter baby, so are you
I’ve gotta get out of here before the cracking
Before the asphalt blooms
See the writing on the wall in my bedroom
I’m a sinner baby, so are you
I’ve been trying so hard not to write those three words
I don’t want to look
But I can’t turn away
So I let
The officers handle it
I watch the suburbs burn
I see it all around me
I put my hand in my pocket
I find a little change
Not enough to pay for
Anything
I need gas to go to work
To pay for gas to get to
Everything
Ooh
Ooh
Aah
Aah
I see the writing on the wall in my bedroom
I’m a sinner baby, so are you
I’ve gotta get out of here before the cracking
Before the asphalt blooms
I see the writing on the wall in my bedroom
I’m a quitter baby, so are you
I’ve been trying so hard not to write those three words

Whirlpool

You wake yourself up from a bad dream
In a pit of sweat and a dirty heat
Your mind is racing faster than you can even think
You waste yourself in feeling obsolete
And your brain is running out of gasoline
You can’t quite stay afloat but you can’t even sink
I don’t know
Go with the flow
Round and round
I am caught in a whirlpool
Wake yourself up from a bad dream
In a pit of sweat and a dirty heat
Your mind is racing faster than you can even think
I don’t know
Go with the flow
Round and round
I am caught in a whirlpool
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Won’t you tell me that it's alright
Yeah yeah yeah
No no no

Played a decent show
At the Roboto
Shook hands with a gentleman and packed up to go
I’m crushing Livingston
Between my finger and thumb
When the seatbelt lights come on and my hands go numb
There’s a wind blows out from Bushwick and it’s blowing me around
Whispering to me that I ain’t one of the kids no more
I could choose to chase it but I’ll never pin it down
So I’ll just withstand it ‘til I can’t no more
I tried to sit up straight
Not hyperventilate
Put my tray table up as we accelerate
The pressure started to fall
I blamed myself for it all
Didn’t listen to that Postal Service song as we took off
There’s a wind blows out from Bushwick and it’s blowing me around
Whispering to me that I ain’t one of the kids no more
I could choose to chase it but I’ll never pin it down
So I’ll just withstand it ‘til I can’t no more
‘Til I can’t no more
There’s a wind blows out from Bushwick and it’s blowing me around
Whispering to me that I ain’t one of the kids no more
I could choose to chase it but I’ll never pin it down
So I’ll just withstand it ‘til I can’t no more
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
God damn, I am not equipped for this shit today
