couldnt tell if it was blue
something wrong with my eyes
I'll never see the way you do
with my sight telling lies
you're nearsighted
and I'm colorblind
but between us we
can see just fine
what's it matter if I match?
will i look put together if I do?
ah but there's always a catch
I put on purple with the blue
you're nearsighted
and I'm colorblind
but between us we
can see just fine
I'm seeing things that aren't there
blue in a sky full of gray
content to be so unaware
lies coloring my day
you're nearsighted
and I'm colorblind
but between us we
can see just fine

don't say it
is what it
is that just
gives you an excuse to continue
don't say i
am what i
am sometimes
everybody needs to change
i know you
i know you
will not take
anything i'm saying to heart
it's ego
just kill your
ego and
we can work on trying to start
gloss over
make it all seem
better
gloss over
make it seamless
make you blameless
this blowhard
blown out of
proportion
nothing but hot air
we're crisscrossing
in conversation and
never getting anywhere
gloss over
make it all seem
better
gloss over
make it seamless
make you blameless

How Could You See It
02:31
|
|||
|
it's so shitty out
the sky is all clouds
you didn't get what you wanted
can't always be a beautiful sunset
how could you see it from there?
yo're just sitting in a chair
everybody is somewhere else
everything is all far away
what they don't know
is it's all gold
you just can't see it
it's so far up

Five Leaf Clover
01:57
|

|
these stupid little sprouts
poking from the ground
they don't know a thing
think that it is spring
but it's gonna get cold out
and the plants are gonna find out
that it was just a fake-out
passing shower in a deep drought
it causes me concern
that nothing waits its turn
and no one ever learns
this isn't what we've earned
we have screwed ourselves over
your mutant five-leaf clover
doesn't really mean good luck
only means that we are all fucked
why should we deserve the sunlight
we're packing pistols for a play fight
do you really think it's ordinary
to wear a pair of shorts in february

Paradise
03:00

you’ve told that joke
10 times before
and it wasn’t funny
the first time
but it’s the way
you operate
and everyone finds you
so charming
and it’s another day
can’t even look away
it’s just another day
in paradise
the break room coffee
burns my mouth
and it’s so bland
and quickly over
just like the way
a day drags on
but a weekend
is always over
and it is safe to say
a recurring case
of the mondays
and it is always monday
in paradise
and yr half hearted sarcasm makes
me sick to my stomach
i know im coming back tomorrow
i really wish i wasn't
and you know all of the lines
you've played this role a thousand times
til yr body is resigned,
and you don’t even mind
no matter what you say
you know yr home to stay
no there is no escape
from paradise

Reps
02:32
|

|
a writer who ain't writing shit
just never in the mood for it
if you force it will it fit?
if it doesn't will you quit?
there's no more rider now for you
there's nothing in the backstage room
i think that it's safe to assume
you can't push a plant to bloom
don't ask me if i've been writing
bad conversation to begin
that's just between me and my pen
water that i will not dive in
i'm not that into doing reps
or running out the simple steps
or treading water, swimming laps
doing homework only preps
you to do better on the test
and even if you do your best
you're left to deal with all the rest
and figure out what happens next
don't ask me if i've been writing
bad conversation to begin
that's just between me and my pen
water that i will not dive in
and practice makes perfect
and practice makes perfect
and practice makes perfect
but nothing is perfect

Bag
02:07

i feel like an empty bag
so full of potential
but for now i’m drifting
nothing consequentia
l
i feel like a piece of trash
one person’s treasure
possible future is
too hard to measure
how do i tell myself
that this is normal?
how do i even know
that this is normal?
how do i spin the lie
that this is normal
how do i look inside
and call this normal
theres a desert in my head
theres a hole in my hand
try to fill the sieve and
lose all the sand
i'm just an empty bag
on the side of the highway
hoping the wind will
start blowing my way
how do i tell myself
that this is normal?
how do i even know
that this is normal?
how do i draw the line
that this is normal
how do i look inside
and call this normal

Heavy Coats
03:13

when you start to hide
stay inside
here comes the feeling once again
your old friend
our plan to make it out in time
is on the line
you're digging through the heavy coats
so it goes
this autumn's warmer than it ought to be
but everything is still too cold for me
can't be surprised by nothing anymore
got trump supporters living right next door
can barely fit it in a rhyme
sounds like i'm lying
their hate is barely still a crime
there's just a fine
the forecast says a record high
but don't ask why
and yet i shiver just to think
we're on the brink
this autumn's warmer than it ought to be
but everyone is still too cold for me
can't be surprised by no one anymore
got trump supporters living right next door

What Happens
03:13
|
|||
|
theres no news
like bad news
these low clouds
leave no blues
in my hand
i hold everything
but it's all out of reach
out of touch on a touchscreen
what happens when the mirror
doesn't help you see clearer
what happens when the mirror
doesn't help you see yourself at all
i'm not here
i'm outside somewhere
water flows downhill
nature doesn't care
it's in my hands
it's our burden
take a step backwards
throw a rock in the water
what happens when the mirror
doesn't help you see clearer
what happens when the mirror
doesn't help you see anything
