/// RUNNING
some days i feel like i'm not gonna make it
can't shake anything off
i keep on moving but it wears me out
sharpens the edges and nothing feels soft
but rolling around in this hotel room
makes me feel it's not all doomed
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
i'm on a bad streak i can't break it
things disappearing in front of my eyes
i'm sitting here but i'm far away
these days, it's no surprise
but rolling around in this hotel room
makes me feel it's not all doomed
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
didn't get the notice now i'm moving out
don't have much except a big couch
i can't remember how it fit through the door
another puzzle i can't figure out
but rolling around in this hotel room
makes me feel it's not all doomed
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i can't catch up
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i wanna catch up
my heart is running and i can't catch up
some days i feel like i'm not gonna make it
can't shake anything off

Outlaw

/// OUTLAW
you leave me in the cold
make me run away
yelling stop thief
he stole and he can't pay
run me outta town
put a bounty on my head
but that's you running beside me
laughing at what you said
everyday you call
and you tell me i'm good
said honey come back now
you misunderstood
but every attempt
is arrested by something new
i kinda suspect
that the problem is you
i feel like an outlaw
waiting for a friendly sign
to come on back into town
and leave the out behind
but you gotta be sure now
that you're ready for me
cuz if i come in an outlaw
i'll die in those streets
i'm never sure
when the hammer is gonna drop
could be a year from now
or on the next block
listen for a familiar scream
hey get outta the way
i turn around too slow
but that's my mistake
i feel like an outlaw
waiting for a friendly sign
to come on back into town
and leave the out behind
but you gotta be sure now
that you're ready for me
cuz if i come in an outlaw
i'll die in those streets
yea if i come
in an outlaw
i'll die in those streets

Little Words

/// LITTLE WORDS
when things get longer
my vision decreases
it becomes harder and harder
to connect all the pieces
with each successive word i write
it makes less and less sense
cause it all has to come on home
to the beginning or some concept
so in that sense
brevity is laziness
and coherent wordiness
might be impossible i guess
or at least require
some level of foresight
that the quick and easy all avoid
like werewolves and moonlight
cause little words
sound bigger than what you heard
filling in between the gaps
why you making me do that
it's harder to say
what you really wanna say
simple as you think it is
oh there's something that you miss
yea those little words omit
so take that trophy down
get your feet off the couch
head to work and find out
if you know how
see if you got it in you
over and over again
plying at the same idea
just trying to make it bend
hope the next line is better
ties it all together
easy to say but tough to remember
when the moment comes
cause little words
sound bigger than what you heard
filling in between the gaps
why you making me do that
it's harder to say
what you really wanna say
simple as you think it is
oh there's something that you miss
yea those little words omit

Switzerland

/// SWITZERLAND
why don't we move overseas
take a couple of things you need
you got four passports and five reasons to try
keep saying you'll get outta here
don't know when but it will be real clear
cause everything will line up when it's time
but it's a long way to switzerland babe
and it's not moving towards us i'm afraid
don't make it a dream, you'll only dream it away
start living it now and lets go to switzerland
well that sure sounds pretty clean
picking up and leavings always been where i've seen
myself in the fondest impossible dream
don't have a lease, won't have a job
won't pay any more of these bills i got
trust me i'll know when it's time to leave
but it's a long way to switzerland babe
and it's not moving towards us i'm afraid
don't make it a dream, you'll only dream it away
start living it now and lets go to switzerland
but it's a long way to anywhere babe
and nothings gonna move towards us i'm afraid
don't make it a dream, you'll only dream it away
start living it now, you don't have to be anywhere
start living it now, you don't have to be anywhere
start living it now and lets go to switzerland

Even If

/// EVEN IF
said you only got 30 years left
countdowns getting closer and harder to forget
saw the end of the world when you were 19
asked me how i see the state of everything
your dad was worried what you would grow into
i'm sure he sleeps easy these days
you live a little lighter that was just a phase but
doesn't mean it's not still looking grim
but yea what's your take on the world and everything
even if you're good at
every little thing you do
even if you're speeding up
it's gonna catch you
pretty soon we'll realize there's no fixing what we destroyed
yea we're all headed to the ground
but you and i got the fall to enjoy
catch another drink across the street
could talk for hours, you're someone i'd never otherwise meet
roll into laughter when you tell me it's all about you
but we're going the same way so why not make room for two
even if you're good at
every little thing you do
even if you're speeding up
it's gonna catch you
pretty soon we'll realize there's no fixing what we destroyed
yea we're all headed to the ground
but you and i got the fall to enjoy

Up at Night
04:06
|
|||
i can describe the textures of every ceiling i've slept under
spackled constellations never quite the same
my thoughts leave my body
leaving my eyes vacant to study the contours
and the shapes
like a drifting palm reader
these ceilings i trace
it's what keeps me up at night
yea it keeps me up at night
it's what keeps me up at night
replaying every moment that i ever fucked up
sprinkle in armageddon and all the hopeless feelings
the faded swirl of paint quite pleasantly speaks
of a lover i once knew
but will never know again
so i'll spin around in that
till the fade blends back in
it's what keeps me up at night
yea it keeps me up at night
it's what keeps me up at night
thoughts keep rolling like a runaway train
but trying to count each car always hurts my brain
if i let my visions slip to the light between the frames
i can look right through it
only the ceiling remains
it's what keeps me up at night
yea it keeps me up at night
it's what keeps me up at night
yea it keeps me up at night
it's what keeps me up at night
yea it keeps me up at night
it's what keeps me up at night
i can describe the texture of every ceiling i've slept under

Fragments
03:32
|

/// FRAGMENTS
i lost my shadow
coveting the shade
from the hardest light
i stayed away
away from
the greatest
lights that i knew
the eternal question
what can i do
to recover the fragments of myself that i lose
i can live behind a statue
of similar shape
but i wouldn't be convincing
cause i'd stay in one place
apoplectic
is an aesthetic
that just won't do
i must
keep moving through the light
to recover the fragments of myself that i lose
all the little pieces
that identify me
are uniquely invisible
only my eyes can see
cause i know where i've been
and you're just seeing me now
in an instant i'll be in a new orbit
fragmented off
another piece
without

Already There
07:49
|
|||
/// ALREADY THERE
air clear as kerosene
matchstick yellow as a sunbeam
and i can't stop blurring
always stirring with you
rosehip red as advertised
a slice of earth the size of the sky
and i can't stop seeing
all the ways you're burning in me
cause i'm already there
no need to meet me down the road
and i found my way out
through the heavy fog hugging the coast
there's no way to prepare
just float and stay composed
in the sweet retreat of the moment
in the ashes and the smoke
the ashes and the smoke
flames bite the waterside
chew the ankles of the night
and i can't stop
watching the orange flicker to blue
view smells like gasoline
maybe i'm tripping in this big machine
through all these feelings
nothing feels like you
cause i'm already there
no need to meet me down the road
and i found my way out
through the heavy fog hugging the coast
there's no way to prepare
just float and stay composed
in the sweet retreat of the moment
the ashes and the smoke
the ashes and the smoke

The Longing

/// THE LONGING
i'm looking for that feeling again
i can't describe it
don't know if it's good or bad
just know i need to find it
don't know where it starts
joy or uncut sadness
could be madness
with the fervor i chase it down
so i'm knocking on your window
ask for a cigarette
leaning halfway out the windowsill
we inhale the night alright
and i can tell you're looking too
for something that you thought you knew
but that's the beauty of the thing
it cannot be confused
no matter what i tell myself
it's always different
it's the longing that i can't break
cause in the longing i'm not mine
even though nothing will last
i still picture it
some days i feel too old for that
but i can't
forget
no i can't
forget
no i can't
forget
can't forget how to forget you
got a reminder to forget
can't forget how all the moments pass
even the ones i most miss
still don't know where it starts
strange that i thought i knew
but that's the beauty of the thing
it cannot be confused
no matter what i tell myself
it's always different
it's the longing that i can't break
cause in the longing i'm not mine
even though nothing will last
i still picture it
some days i feel too old for that
but i can't
forget
no i can't
forget
no i can't
forget

Matador
04:48
|

/// MATADOR
it's been a little break
a little bit longer than i usually take
finally broken down
been fighting myself round after round
can't get ahead when i ain't behind nothing
hard to leave when i don't know what i'm stuck in
i'm stepping out of the house
blinding daylight put my sunglasses on
i'm searching for shade
trying to make my skin feel as cool as my gaze
can't get ahead when i ain't behind nothing
hard to leave when i don't know what i'm stuck in
making these decisions don't know what they're really for
life's a bull fight and i ain't the matador
la is too damn hot
my shoes are gonna melt if i stand in one spot
i'm glued to the pavement
the high water mark of a civilization
can't get ahead when i ain't behind nothing
hard to leave when i don't know what i'm stuck in
running around
i never thought it would catch me
but i slowed down
everything else kept the pace
it's hard to watch
when you know just how it ends
so i'm finding my own grace
can't get ahead when i ain't behind nothing
hard to leave when i don't know what i'm stuck in
making these decisions don't know what they're really for
life's a bull fight
making these decisions don't know what they're really for
life's a bull fight
making these decisions don't know what they're really for
life's a bull fight
can't get ahead when i ain't behind nothing
hard to leave when i don't know what i'm stuck in
making these decisions don't know what they're really for
life's a bull fight and i ain't the matador
