Cold and clear, the mountain air is blowing down my memory.
The scenery's dissolving into sound, that's all.
Let go, and all alone I fold.
So close a call; To follow and to fall.
Wouldn't we all?
Waiting in the dust, rusted up hoping to interupt.
It's a set-up trying to live a life that murders us.
I'm out of luck. The last word is enough as I crack up and
down I deconstruct.
Well I have come undone.
Fly through the gates of time, memories unwind a
lullaby of life.
Hear it flash before my eyes.
See the sound advice disappear and die.
Feel my shadow and my soul
Sinking down below where the
Living never go.
All those bones that I follow
Become all I know,
It's the skeleton I hold.
He says "You just missed your mark.
You couldn't follow through.
Well I'm the doorway in the dark.
So tell me,
Who's following who?"
I speak when I'm spoken to,
Only when I'm spoken to.
I'll do what I'm told to do.
Just tell me what I gotta do.
He said "Look me in the eyes and
Know that I will follow you."
Then I crossed over the line
"Is it so you owe someone your time?"
I'll never know.
I'm lying though
I just wish I didn't know.

Kid

Freedom caught my eye
While driving by.
She asked if I would
Like a ride
As it turns out we got nothing to talk about
Sweet Independence kissed my hand
Then tied it to a younger man
Wide eyed and filled up with doubt.
Now, when I go out, I gotta
Drag that kid around.
Kicking and Screaming.
He's not the kind of man
To hold your heart in his hands
I dedicated all my younger days
Getting the wrong turns out of the way.
It only left me right here turning gray
Falling in and falling out.
What's the use in standing out?
I've found it all works out the same
No matter how you play the game.
However you play it.
We always had a plan.
You made me feel like a man
Who never learned and
Turned into a kid again.
I feel like a kid

Guilt

Monday.
Sleep Late.
2 PM.
Lied through that
Dream of you
Once again.
Zero degrees.
One final freeze.
Tomorrow I'll
Countdown the Days.
I'm not afraid I'm just
Tired of being brave
and I'm half erased.
Gray skies.
Close my eyes
But then a
Vision of
You and I
Opens them.
While I'm on my knees
Everyone agrees
I seem as happy as a clown.
Don't try and tell me
"Theres lots of fish in the sea"
I don't care
"Anyone you please"
That ain't fair
Stop telling me to
Sleep around.
Now that I got
My head high above
That sound,
Don't know when
I'll come
Down.
Cause I heard that
Time
Might
Help
Subside the hurt.
So tell me why
The guilt gets worse.
It just gets worse.
It's true.
Cause I said it first.
Now I breath out
Smoke clouds
As I wait.
But some smoke
Just don't
Blow away.

Australopithecus

Two lovers smoking up a small room and running outta air soon,
Waiting for the end of love. With one heart beating like a stopwatch.
Watching as the sky drops pointing out the stars above.
Makes me think about Australopithecus
Anytime I feel like this
Drinking in my emptiness
Under the same sky as his.
Four million years ago,
So many more to go you're
Just another player in the pen
Someone to fill the show.
Like a soldier in a row or a drunk dancing on the banks of Chicago
We all make sure to fold our Sunday clothes. Because we're children of
Time and we're walking aimless down the line. Passing by just
Like the falling snow. Makes me think about
Australopithecus
Anytime I feel like this
Drinking in my emptiness
Under the same sky as his.
Four million years ago,
So many more to go you're
Just another player in the pen
Someone to fill the-
Show me a love I won't forget
Wife or weekend I'll take what I get. Cause
Life by Life and name by name
We'll fade out, like
Australopithecus
And all of his relatives
Once upon a time they were here
And that was it.
Four million years from now
Will they figure out
We're all reverberations in the same sound.
Today you cannot know
The sorrow that tomorrow holds.
Wait up to hear the Midnight bells.
If tomorrow will not tell you
How much water's in the well,
Roll on and see for yourself.

Well I'm in trouble if ambition pays off,
I'd rather drift on without the engine.
I got big dreams, it's why I sleep in.
I'd rather keep dreaming shut the lights off.
When did we agree to start deceiving ourselves?
I know some people living on adrenaline,
Trying to pretend they're not noticing
The rhythm of their heart rate rising.
So I open the shutter, let in the light as I
Crawl out of the gutter. Tell me whats
Another motherfucker like me matter.
Frightened of the others and as
Mad as a hatter; Laughing up the ladder.
It's just a piece of advice I'll give
In light of not thinking twice
When I sold my share.
At the peek of my vices
Had a quarter-life crisis
That told me I might just
Be half way there.
Life is just a series of
Breathing in and breathing out
The seconds in between our
Breaths get to quick to count
You're hyperventilating now
Won't you tell me how
you convince yourselves you
Ain't gotta slow down?
Slow Down
Breath in
And out
Now.
If you cant understand why
You're not getting well,
Before you get hung up
On someone else,
Take a good look
In the Mirror when you
Pray for help.
If you wanna meet your
Maker you only gotta
Get to know
Yourself.
