Empy Lots
02:08

i got caught feelin' down
between the tiny pauses in conversation
i was lost lookin' around
between the giant weeds and bees
they knocked another building down
do you remember what it was
i was lost lookin' around
i can't find my way in these empty lots
posters for what's to come
security lights flash off and on
and my friends are movin' away again
i get it 'cause i tried the same
but how can you really escape when
everything feels like
an empty lot

Rocky

at what point is my dream made acceptable by me?
i wanna sip on coffee for hours
i cut the collar off my shirt
i wanted it to hang low
i want to appear less than who i am
i don't want to exhibit my strengths as strength
but what will change at 30?
"physically, you could change the world around you"
"but what would change deep down inside you?"
well 30 i'm really gonna try for my dream
if rocky did it so can you

A Man (You Can't Stand)
01:57
|
|||
|
i don't want to be the man
who can't find his way out of bed
yet here i lay feelin' desperate and worried
i'm becoming a man you can't stand
and there is a ghost in my room
who is smiling and sayin' to me
"you've been cursed my friend
i will drag your feet when you walk
i will pull you close to the earth below
until you become a man you can't stand"

Shield Your Eyes
02:53
|
|||
|
i've become a ghost i've made up
like a thin sheet draped over the old chair
dusted and forgotten
did i put myself back here?
a drape for forgetting
how did i end up in the back of the room
a drape for forgetting
a story i've always feared but always told
the truth settles in my stomach
while i'm watching the band on the stage
she shields her eyes from the crowd
as mine franticly look around for affirmation
that i'm whole

Feel The Same
01:36
|
|||
|
i don't feel things the same
i don't see the small things right now
i'm consumed with the overwhelming worries of the future
and i'm already across the street before i even start walking
i'm already home before i've even got in the truck
and i've already failed
before i've even started thinkin'
i don't know how to feel
i don't know how to deal

You'd Think I'd Forget
02:07

"hey did you think about it or did you forget?"
should i reset, back up, and put the bed back on the truck
did the house heat change you?
make you forget?
another day at home i think i broke my foot
i got mad and stomped the ground
cursed the earth and fell down
i got linda lookin' me i the eyes
thinkin' i'd forget
someone lift me by my arms and pull me from it
soar me across the city so i can look right at it
don't show me things that drag me down
like all the new apartments
just remind me of all the love
remind me of all the things
that you'd think i'd forget
