Long in the Tooth
02:40
|

Time takes forever, the impossible truth, getting long in the tooth
As I’m driving myself home on a saturday night, to soak in the screen’s shining light
I hear my neighbors are laughing, they’re talking movies and rain, I think they’re high on cocaine
I’m wondering where my friends are, hope they’re happy and fine, drinking their $12 wine
I roll towards forever, yield for the oncoming flow, wait for a sign that says go
And there’s a time to remember and a time to forget, but learning when is the trick
And I can count on my fingers, all my flickering thoughts, spaced out and walking my dog
Remember being a child, running wild and free, but is it me who’s still me
I shake hands with forever, I’m feeling salty and sweet, they say you are what you eat
And I speak soft when I’m tired, but still the world’s spinning slow, I hope it’s right when I go

Wrong Crowd
02:28
|

Life hangs around, it’s a sweet sober smile, it’s a trip out of town
Time, may be now, to stop running away, to start settling down
And I feel, you close to me, is this where, I was meant to be
I’ve been hanging around with the wrong crowd, yours is the only love I’ve got
Life feels the same, it’s hot tea in the morning, it’s how you call out my name
When we talk, when we play, walk the dog down the block at the same time each day
And I stop, to explain, that I’d like, to remain
I’ve been hanging around with the wrong crowd, yours is the only love I’ve got

Running Circles
04:03
|

Is this the end, Is this the end I had in mind
I try to pretend, there’s still room to bend
I try not to fight, with all of my might, to carry on
Towards the impossible light, I’m almost there but not quite
Know I’m running circles, trying not to disappear
Figure out what’s missing, missing out’s my biggest fear
Everybody’s filing out as soon as I appear
I dance around my silent sorrow, guess I’ll try again tomorrow
Is something not right, is something not right
I watch the light move continuously
Until I can’t see
Running circles feel like I’m just running out of time
Try to stop myself from buying everything I see online
Goddammit I’m so stuck, I feel like I’ve been left behind
I’m dizzy now try to recover, another foot follows the other

Wandering Dogs
02:52
|
|||
I fell back in the same routine, I guess you don’t what I mean
I mean I thought I had been obsolete, there’s nothing left but to clear and clean
This muddy mess I made today, I tried to think the bad thoughts away
I’m holding hardly on to it, the grip is there but it’s starting to slip
All of our friends are gone, walking their wandering dogs
Fucking off, in the fog, feeling so lost
Felt fatigued from a common cold, I tried to be brave, I tried to be bold
I made amends just to break the mold, but I lost my step and away I rolled
All of our friends are gone, walking their wandering dogs
Fucking off, in the fog, feeling so lost

Maniacs
02:58
|

I drive past the maniacs, they try not to giggle
Sharing their cigarettes, sending smoke signals
I walk through the door, how could I want anybody more
I welcome the change, I want it to be my pain
I stand in the crowded room, I’m spinning and spilling
Laughing at everything, turning red as a villain
What amazing insight, do people really do this every night
Just doesn’t feel right
This can’t just be it, a cycle of slips
Collecting the dust on the floor
Falling asleep next to the bathroom door
Wasting your time til there is no more
I run from the maniacs, they follow behind me
The parties still going on, they try to remind me
I don’t stop til it’s safe, can’t stand another moment in that place
It’s always the same, I want it to be my pain

I Don't Want To Talk
03:36
|
|||
I think I’ll be fine, standing in the grocery line
Thought I heard a tune, sounds just like it used to
Now I’m crying in my car, just trying to find a place to park
Can’t stop playing air guitar
I don’t wanna talk
I go through my old song list, All the Wine and Is This It
Dancing around the room, try to find some hidden truth
I’m brought back to younger days, when I was dead set in my ways
Traded fire for some change
I don’t wanna talk
|

I wanna wake up and feel embarrassed, I wish going out wasn’t such a chore
I wanna start living a little more careless, I oughta listen to Yo La Tengo more
I wanna drive down the highway for hours, that’s when I cry to my favorite songs
I need to remember to water my flowers, tonight I’ll sleep with the television on

Box Office Reports
03:59
|
|||
I grow another year older, feel a little bit colder
It gets harder to remember the past
Cause my clocks they are always alarming, my good friend joined the army
At least he has a career that can last
As they’re selling lives to keep up a quota, I might start doing yoga
Maybe jog around the park a couple laps
Or go see a film on the big screen, my friend lets out a big scream
At the quiet part and everyone laughs
Cause in the darkness of the room we don’t exist
As the rich or poor
We’re just another number for the box office reports
As I send a check to stay in my apartment, can’t help but feeling disheartened
All this money could have bought me a house
Or at least a nicer kitchen appliance, maybe a bachelors of science
You know they say that knowledge is wealth
But not when you’re in debt til you’re dying, suddenly the loudest went silent
Burnt out like a star at the end of their career
They had one last chance to land the lead this time, the table read was a blindside
They lost the role despite how hard they tried
Cause in the artificial light they don’t exist anymore
There’s just a longer list of potential candidates for them to pay for
Cause if the marquee’s lit then we’ll show up anyways cause we’re so bored
Eager to escape the lives we live everyday, don’t wanna live them no more

Moving Man
01:57
|

Watched the moving man move away, he packed up his things began to somberly say
“Lifes not what it seems to be, I’m always in between a past and a future place”
The moving man soon moved me to tears, “everyday I wake up, I help someone disappear, so I decided today to move myself away, no I just couldn’t stay, between a past and a future place”
Between a past and a future place

Invisible Death
02:23
|
|||
Invisible death, call me when you think you can forget
There’s only one way out, driving back home again
Incase you don’t know, I think it’s something I could never show
Remember the time when I spent that whole night saying that I should go
