Purpose
02:48

Call it what you want
You're either running from your demons
or you've already been caught
Anywhere you go you have to
listen to your thoughts
Medicate or meditate
it will not be enough
You'll only realize
you're in love when it's tough
Happy to be sick
so I can just stay in my room
and act like nothing else exists
Reach the equilibrium where
ignorance is bliss
I'm trying to remember when
it wasn't like this
Now and then I forget
I have a purpose here
I put a person on a pedestal
who never should've been there
So settle down and look around
cause I need your presence here
Call it what you want
There's probably a hundred different names
for the condition that you've got
and there's a thousand different
cures that can be bought
that claim to have the answers
but I promise they do not
-Chorus-

It's Whatever
02:30
|

It's whatever you wanna do
It's whatever feels right to you
Girl, whatever you've been going through
I'll go there with you if you want me to
Day or night I'll travel anywhere
but don't invite me just to leave me there
standing, anxious, with a static stare
I'll walk away, I'll tell you I don't care
It's whatever, it's whatever
I can wait but not forever
Now I've got a way to get away
If I don't use it, soon I'll lose it
There's a music to the give and take
There's a rhythm to the rumble of the earthquake
I only hear it when I'm half awake
going the wrong way in the wrong place on the wrong day
It's whatever, It's whatever
I just wanna get together
cause there's multitudes upon multitudes
of people who don't intrigue me like you do
It's whatever, It's whatever
Text me when you're feeling better
when you want a friend we'll begin again

Say it to Me
03:06
|

After all this time
I have to admit that I'm surprised
You couldn't move on with your lives
Well I've moved on with mine
and I can only assume that I'm
one of many backs you talk behind
But if you wanted me gone
then why are you following me
If you've got shit to say
Why don't you say it to me
Why don't you say it to me
come on
I remember when
we were all still such good friends
I was desperate then
but now I'm on my feet again
so you can say what you want to them
It's your time wasted in the end
-chorus-
I know I'm no model of stability
but at least I don't go running my mouth
about people I don't know
If you can't even find the nerve to speak to me
then why don't you go hide in your glass house
with all those stones you throw
So when you interfere
and try to make my friends steer clear
you might want to think about
how that's making you appear
-chorus-

Unfamiliar Street
03:36

On the platform
he is standing looking down at his watch
In the crowd underground under flickering lights
all the stores are closing up for the night
The train arrives
full of people on the go
All aboard
In his dreams neon gleams from the bars he walks by
There are voices calling out from inside
A siren wails
as he turns on Fourth and Main
Almost home
Climb the stairs up to where lonely ghosts float around
in the pipes making rattling sounds
I couldn't have it how you had it
I kicked myself and I kicked the habits
I picked up from you
A couple years have come and gone
while I've been looking at my shoes
watching gravel turn to pavement turn to crumbling concrete
underneath my feet, underneath my feet
Looking down
from his window on the outskirts of town
He thinks about going out, out to wander in the snow
in the streetlight's golden glow
I couldn't have it how you had it
I kicked myself and I kicked the habits
but I still hold a place for you
A couple friends have come and gone
cause I did what I had to do
Now I'm off to new horizons with an unfamiliar street
underneath my feet, underneath my feet, underneath my feet

LeBaron
01:05
|
|||
Spare a moment of your time
Everybody's trying to trade a nickel for a dime
and it makes us blind, it makes us blind
Yeah, every single one of us got poison in our minds
and it keeps us blind, it keeps us blind
I was cruising down Route Nine
Taking my LeBaron out across the county line
I guess it turned out fine
You can meet me at the ball field by the no loitering sign
and we can take our time
I assume you've found
a new obsession now
a new way to check out, check out
I wish you all the best
I know you'll rise above the rest
and I'll be so impressed, impressed

Substances
02:27
|

How can I communicate to you the truth
now that it's al that I can do
just to move
I found a reason to persist
to live the years we missed
and I know we can't pick up from where we were then
cause now we're distant friends
but I think things don't really end they just evolve
There are places I can't go sober
Depths too deep to dredge up without substances
and there's a border I can't cross over
something's in the way I don't know what it is
How can I reconnect with you
in a way that seems natural and aloof
what's the use
without a reason to exist
I'll drift in endless bliss
-chorus-

Kicking Stones
03:04
|
|||
Work all day because we all slave away
but in the night settle down
turn the open sign around
lock your eyes on the screen
while your excersize machine
keeps you fit and defined
read a book to feed your mind
Get to bed before the clock strikes ten
Take a pill to pass out
before you start to think about
all the things you've been told
about the hurt that you hold
how it all contradicts and there's no simple fix
anyway, anyway
Walking around the town kicking stones
Don't mind walking around alone
cause I've got characters inside
that I'm creating all the time
Make your way to a nondescript cafe
where in silence you await
the arrival of your date
though you already know
how it's destined to go
and you can't recreate that emotional state
Time goes by maybe hours maybe weeks
and you stay locked away while your body walks and speaks
cause you've memorized the route and you know the words by heart
You fit right in the role
You were born to play the part
anyway, anyway
-chorus-

Get Well
02:11
|
|||
You didn't want it but you took it with you anyways
and these should be my glory days
and this should be a golden age but oh well
We'd go out stumbling through the starlit suburbs after dark
The world was our amusement park
and I will always bare that mark but aw hell
I can make my heart stop if I hold my breath
I'm gonna get well soon but I'm not there yet
I'm not there yet
When I go out driving I imagine myself breaking free
going where I want to be
and that would be enough for me but oh well
I won't let my heart become as empty as their promises
with their titles and their offices
and their endless war of opposites but oh well
-chorus-
