Born on the same fateful day in June
I was an hour ahead of you
Watching your eyes examining mine
I couldn’t wait to get old with you
Our friendship so came easily
We were so stupid at seventeen
Jump out the window, Mom never said so
You saved my ass reluctantly
We shared the same dead punk rock dreams
You played guitar, we tore up the scene
like Jeff and Cyrus, nothing went by us
Destined for infinity
Now you’re home about once a year
You wave to me from the tour bus mirror
Watching your life like a strange passerby
As I wait for you to disappear
Wait for you to disappear
Wait for you to disappear

Come quick, this time it’s dire
A childhood home set on fire
I’m digging a ditch in the yard
Not more than 13 years old
Can’t I blame you for everything
Market crashes, mood swings
Busted my lip for nothing
Personal hell, Wyoming
Cake at the municipal pool
My therapist and my high school
Yeah pour one out for all your friends
I’ll die with this coke in hand
Can’t I blame you for everything
Market crashes, mood swings
Busted my lip for nothing
Personal hell, Wyoming
And why’d you take her literally
Turn my favorites against me
I’m an island in this family
Waive my rights for visiting

Stone cold
Looks in the rear view
I won’t shut up again
Holding your tongue
Your white knuckles say it all
And the secrets
The side view mirrors keep
Glances that are ten years old
No one can see me
feeling small once more
We coast
Through these flat plains
Feeling bad but what for?
A pity case who plays pretty well
Riding this one uphill

Bloodline II
03:08

The months came back to haunt me
Ever since we fought at the store
When you said I’m not the one dying
I played along until you got bored
I can’t explain how I’m acting
Hidden in a cover song
A victim or just pretending
To be empty between two lungs
Been tired your whole life
It’s what drove you out west
Ready to throw in the towel
Give the old pain a rest
It always seems to be small things
You choose to see in yourself
Used to stick glue in my teeth
Til it turns into something else
So I’ll take off for the whole year
Take on this bloodline, too
When I’m stuck in my own shit
I still couldn’t turn into you
I still couldn’t turn into you
I still couldn’t turn into you
I gave it a good try
To be the very best
Ready to throw in the towel
Give the whole thing a rest

Wait
I’m going for that walk I meant to take
Three months ago
This place
Didn’t leave this rancid a taste
In my mouth before
What am I good for?
Was it wrong for you to know?
Why am I here for
Friends who will finally shut their front doors?
And I need to take a bath
But you’ll soon be right back
I take the money and I run
Like the bad kid I never was
Only fail upwards on the backs of the good ones
I can reluctantly
Refract all this blame
But take it from the pill in me
There’s nothing deep to say
What am I good for?
Was it wrong for you to know?
Why am I here for

Out
06:03

Taking my time
Circle the room
A part of me
I seek in you
I take a knife
To a single hair
Eventually
There’s nothing there
I wanted out
I wanted out
This fucking house
I wanted out
The deed undone
Seconds to live
Mythologize
Myself in it
I see a crow
Fall to the ground
Squandered its life
Wait to be found
I wanted out
I wanted out
This fucking house
I wanted out
I wanted out
I wanted out
This fucking house
I wanted out
I wanted

Demarest

Pack the van
Forget the rest
I retire
We’re moving west
My lungs fill with suburban air
I swear by bits that fade and disappear
Rescind my friends, they aren’t there
It’s not that I’m into punishment
I’m scared of change and I’m cognizant
There’s more to be than in Demarest
More to live for than I know yet
Running through
This cyclic war
See it ending
Unlike before
But I take time to hesitate
Cave to losing, wash broken plates
An ugly image I consecrate
It’s not that I’m into punishment
I’m scared of change and I’m cognizant
There’s more to you than the parts I dread
More to live for than I know yet
The master plan
So clamoring
What’s definite
Now exploding
What if action amounts to sin?
In orange plastic, so paper thin
Cradle my neck, still swallowing
It’s not that I’m into punishment
I’m scared of change and I’m cognizant
There’s more to hurt than what’s in my head
More to live for than i know yet

Friend Song

Missed the connection to the 1 train
How much of me is still the same
From when I met you
Down and over the Brooklyn Bridge
Back into the city you live
With a “Hey, stranger”
Do you still leave when it’s getting late?
And feign your love for the ones you hate?
Ever see my face in pearly rain?
This city won’t ever be the same
The mystery stars will spell your name
Wherever you are
