Front Line

I never notice
All the dullness
In the normalcy of life
I tend to focus
On what's mine
But nothing's perfect all the time
You need to read between the lines
I'm moving forward
In a war that I'm quite sure is over
And it's likely
In a short time
I'll be falling asleep on the front line
And they never tell you
What they're trying to sell you
Till you reach the of it
When the walls are closing in
I button up stop saying much
Start shoving hands inside of pockets
Trying to stop it
But it's all right
I get better all the time
At taking inconsistency in stride
I'm moving forward
In a war that I'm quite sure is over
And it's likely
In a short time
I'll be falling asleep on the front line
Which point in time
Did I read wrong
You're on my mind
Is that your fault or mine?
I'm moving forward
In a war that I'm quite sure is over
And it's likely
In a short time
I'll be falling asleep on the front line
I'm moving forward
In a war that I'm quite sure is over
And it's likely
In a short time
I'll be falling asleep on the front line
I'll be falling asleep
I'll be falling asleep

Penny

She had a man we called the penny
Always trying to cop her shine
She indulged him for the longest time
Which is really no business of mine
But I try to make the pieces fit on everyone I meet
So I ask her
Fueled by drunkenness and curiosity
Who were you
Before you
You had that broken heart
You must have been so different
Cause now I truly find it
Hard to believe
Now I truly find it
Hard to believe
Someone would even think to leave you
To leave you
We all lose sometimes
He lost his mind you lost your time
Now she's smiling at the ground
As if there's no one in her presence
It's returning to her now
Scrolling back through painful memories
She could blame my stupid mouth
Instead she thanks my good intentions
Despite the clumsy words she heard
She knows just when I meant when
I said
Who were you
Before you
You had that broken heart
You must have been so different
Cause now I truly find it
Hard to believe
Now I truly find it
Hard to believe
Someone would even think to leave you
To leave you
We all lose sometimes
He lost his mind you lost your time
She smiles wide eyed
I take my time
She smiles wide eyed
I take my time to say
To say
To say
To say
Nothing

Serenity

I wanna live
In the comfort of my friends
Finally give an inch
Finally reel it in
I will melt into distraction
And stop pushing for perfection
I will be, I will be
Complete
I will spend each passing day
With a girl who feels the same
Fall asleep at night
With each other on our minds
Until we die
All right All right relax
I know that's not the way you like me best
You want me shutting myself in
With coffee pages and a pen
Articulating the miseries you only have to feel ocassionally
Truthfully if I confess
I must agree I'm at my best
When I am bitterly declined
When I have no one here at night
To make me feel like maybe I
Have better ways to spend my time
I am hungry
I am free
I have found the things you tried to hide away from me
Serenity
You weren't for me
I am hungry
I am free
I have found the things you tried to hide away from me
Serenity
You weren't for me

Where's Your Head
04:23
|

|
Loose lips sinks ships
Or so they say
Is that why this
Feels far away from conversation
Sailing off
On one more tangent
Planned with careful intent
Meant to prevent
My honest but failed attempts to talk
I know that you've got walls up
I never thought that was your fault
You stay so strong
And you try so hard
You try so hard
Where's your head been going?
Where's your head?
You haven't let me in
For so long
For so long
You know I worry
You tend to hurry these things along
Forget where I belong
Among your throngs of goings on
In your life
You can't find time to define
My space inside your mind
Do you want me by your side
All right
I guess you can't decide
I know that you've got walls up
I never thought that was your fault
You stay so strong
And you try so hard
You try so hard
Where's your head been going?
Where's your head?
You haven't let me in
For so long
For so long
Where's your head?

Brunches
05:47
|

|
I won't forget
Tall cans of cheap beer
And cigarettes
Shooting the breeze here
Before a set
Passing out flyers
Did you get one yet
Will I see you there
I guess I like
To think we are the same
You and I
That we don't get the rest of life
That's why we're here so many nights
And that's all right
That's all right
Leave the bullshit and the brunches
For the boring and well-adjusted
We don't ever have to try to be like them
You don't have to hide away
Your compulsion to create
Look around
Look around
Where could you rather be right now
I get that no one stays here forever
By now I know better
You never know when
Someone
Could get washed out, strung out, priced out
Pregnant, sunk in depression
It's not something I like to think about
So for right now
For right now
Leave the bullshit and the brunches
For the boring and well-adjusted
We don't ever have to try to be like them
You don't have to hide away
Your compulsion to create
Look around
Look around
Where could you rather be right now
Leave the bullshit and the brunches
For the boring and well-adjusted
We don't ever have to try to be like them
You don't have to hide away
Your compulsion to create
Look around
Look around
Where could you rather be right now
