Just Because

you oughta try it, getting a little older
when mistakes become one with livin
yelling ceasefire at decisions
seeing how this fight could end up less favorably
and you see how saviors might find a need for saving
just because i get scared enough to run
don’t mean it wasn’t right to run away
just because there’s the planets and a sun
don’t mean they’ve got much to do with me
seasons have changed for forever
and even they just recently got messed up
too many warm days in late december
when the trees have already packed up
like for florida but it feels like freezing would get me more straight
just because i could leave this place tomorrow
don’t mean that i don’t wanna stay
just because there’s wheels on a bus
don’t mean they have to carry my weight
self-inflicting wounds is just part of the process
though nobody trusts the process
until the process is done
just because i’m prone to freezing up
don’t mean i don’t have stuff i wanna say
just because there’s a handle on a gun
don’t mean you have to point it any way

Nodody Knows

everybody knows what a rockstar is
but nobody knows how to be one
well who could? it's practically unfathomable
yeah you can only trace the path from recluse to stardom
everybody understands what excitement is
but not many can transmit it
well, a song can and im just another sucker trying to bottle it up
bridge the gap from heart to heart
don’t try to change my ways maggie
i’m just a loser lost in a maze of wants
i’m already tired of chasing wages
don’t know why it’s gotta be this way
everybody knows what a lover is
but nobody can show me how to keep one
and i can't either
and im saying that just to set things straight
yeah i don’t know much about keeping water in vases
don’t try to change my ways maggie
i’m just a loser lost in a maze of wants
i’m already tired of chasing wages
don’t know why it’s gotta be this way
everybodys heard about the american dream
but nobody i’ve met yet has ever lived one
well i still wanna and i’m looking for it like a lost art
yeah i can still dream about it if i want to

Untitled #2
01:48

if i hold you throughout most of the night i guess i’ll feel okay
and in the off chance that i dont i guess i’ll finally go to sleep
i ran into love like running a race
just jumping in and see where i end up
you could slow me down when you pull my hair back
and time hasn’t stopped since you went away last
if i ever tell you that i love you i hope it wouldn’t sting
and even if it does i guess i just wanted to see what you’d think
we ran out of room to solve a crowded equation
i ran outta luck like god pulled out a drain
and all the blood’s flowing straight to my face
i don’t wanna rush but i don’t wanna wait here
like a toy oven where nothing bakes
i’ve been getting good at not doing anything
will things look different after we wake up
when everything’s quiet in the street finally

Way Out
03:20
|

i found a way out
i found a way out of that tough spot for a minute there
yes i found a way, found a way out of my troubles and i wish i could show you how
though i have been saved
i haven’t been saved succesfully
no i haven’t been saved
gosh i’ve been through all these trials i’ve been up and down looking for the way out
you found a way out
you found a way out of your mind, didn't ya
you found a way out
you found a way out of your mind and i wish i could figure out how
though i had to run
i’ll circle back eventually
yes i gotta run, gosh there’s the setting sun the day’s over now looking for the way out
though love is rough
love hasn’t failed me yet completely
yes love is rough, but it’s hard enough won and i’m not now looking for the way out

Never Wanted This
02:37

i never wanted this but i wanna see how it turns out
i never wanted this but i guess i could like it
and i might be late or i might early
im just so mixed up that im sure im in the wrong place
wearing the wrong attire meanwhile every other artist is inspired
i never wanted this but i guess i’m stuck with it
i never wanted this but it just how my life’s work has been submitted
it might be anger projected inwards
its doesn’t really matter when its stuck in ya
so i hide beneath my sheets for months with idle eyes just saving up to smile
some paths you can take just go forward
and some paths you can take just loop around
and some paths you can take don’t exist yet
or never were crossable
you might have stayed or you might have gone
you might have been right or you might have been wrong
im off to sleep today for the second time and i’ll see if i can wake up in an hour

The Cyclist

earthquakes dont happen much in p.a.
but when they come you feel the softest shake
like a phone call set to vibrate
you just keep on as if nothing changed
given the choice, i’d write everything in lowercase
and decorate my space in blues and yellows
on a bright morning with no recall
of tougher days in life’s seesaw
i been around enough and i’ve seen what i can do
been around enough and i’ve seen what voids i’ll fill
change can't wait gimme everything a season can spray
i like it that way, rotating order
im the cyclist, ill leapfrog
from whim to whim, escape to escape
