Running Around

as you’re running around the track
I wonder why I’m doing
math behind my back
all the other people
wish I’d held it all like you
wish I could do the things you do
I lived in the evil
sun sets into blue
makes way for the moon
days change and I do too
I do
as you’re running around the track
I’m out here in the middle
lying on my back
and I really love you
something strange came over me
when I realized you could see
that I felt like crying
days ebb and flow
we come and we go
like Sarah said
like Sarah said
like Sarah

Glue
04:32

Buddy likes to draw
all by himself in his room
Buddy likes to sing
he writes his own little tunes
Buddy wants to be
a comic book artist someday
they said he could be
anything he wants
to be
but he can’t move
stuck in bed
it feels just like glue
Buddy takes a pill
to send all the bad thoughts away
his mother says it will
bring back the boy that
she raised
but he can’t move
stuck in bed
it feels just like glue
in his head
it feels just like glue

Tired
03:51
|

so who to call
when finally your heart just stops
you always leave the door
a little open
your will is strong
it's fraying but it's still not gone
please let me help you make it better
I know you're tired
you've got oceans underneath your eyes
fill them up with oil so you
can turn the lights out
and you're not the same
you think you are but you have changed
a year ago you felt a little closer
the weight you lost
proud to see yourself so small
the mirror tugs at you
a little harder
and I know she lied
and it took away your will to try
I promise you will find love with many others

Anyway
05:20
|
|||
|
anyway
I will always
be your friend
I know that
anyway
for in a way
really nothing
ever ends
but you know that
anyway
I heard you say
that you circled
round the bend
alone
in a day
but anyway
I will always
be your friend
now I know

Broken Record
03:49
|

|
a dog is barking in the alley
as a siren passes by
I think it’s nice that you still love me
but I start to wonder why
it seems like every time we have a conversation
I just talk about myself
so I’m trying really hard to keep my mouth shut
‘cause you only want to help
you said you got a funny feeling
how I sounded on the phone
I was really hoping that you wouldn’t notice
I’m just better off alone
and now I really want to tell you how I’m doing
but I think I’ll be too much
and I know that I won’t stay this way forever
it’s just hard without the drugs
but I think I’m getting better
yeah I think I’m getting better
sounding like a broken record
you tell me you don’t like the tone of voice I’m using
when I’m talking to myself
that you’d never catch me saying awful shit like that
to anybody else
and now you’re saying there’s no reason to be sorry
it’s okay to need a friend
and now I’m feeling mighty selfish
that we’re doing this again
but I think I’m getting better
yeah I think I’m getting better
sounding like a broken record

Sept. 1

it’s the first of September
but I remember you as a boy
all style and swagger
your smile brought nothing but joy
pull up to my place in
your cigarette freedom mobile
tell me to hop in
drive through America’s fields
do you even remember
do you even remember now
oh it feels like forever
yeah it feels like forever now
well time’s done its work friend
your face looks as old as mine
your voice hasn’t changed but
something is gone from your eyes
do you even enjoy this
do you even enjoy this now
when the truck hit your body
did you wish you were bending down
do you know that I love you
do you know that I love you still
do you know that you’re worth it
do you know who it is you kill
it’s the first of September
but I remember you as a boy

Last Year
06:35

regretting
the present
away
away
I’m stuck here
in last year
today

flat circle
is coming
around

Creature
07:13
|

|
beneath the dying palms
he’s lying down upon the hot concrete
he thinks he’ll end it all
the pavement’s melting underneath his feet
and all alone the creature stands
all alone although with friends
the seething writhing kind
he never wanted it to be this way
you won’t believe his mind
his hair is falling out and turning grey
so old the creature stands
so old his back it bends
his hands are getting cold
he finds it funny hiding from the sun
he’s got a heart of gold
but he’s a devil with that silver tongue
so small the creature stands
so small and yet a man
can’t feel his mother’s eyes
they’ve nearly sunken into deep despair
her garden grew so high
she had no choice but to just stay right there
so cracked the creature’s hands
so cracked they never mend
he starts to fade away
he’s talking quickly to get to the end
the band begins to play
but all he hears is how it could have been
I’m lost the creature cries
so lost though hard I try
I’m lost the creature cries
so lost
