End of Days
04:10

There’s a deep uneasy feeling
Thinking maybe things aren’t right
You’re locked inside your bedroom
There’s a specter right outside
You ran out from this place
And they came chasing
Your back against the wall
Searching for exits
I know that things look bad now
I know that they’ll get worse
But I also know you’re strong
Come what may
End of days
Pale white horse or
Waves of plague
We’ll rise up
Be the change
Knock it down
And start back stronger now
You’ve been staring at the ceiling
Thinking maybe Dad’s alt-right
You can hear him in the next room
Blasting Alex Jones on high
This world is laid to waste
Just like we made it
We’ve locked all of the gates
And dropped the matches
I know that things look bad now
I know that they’ll get worse
But I also know you’re strong
Come what may
End of days
Pale white horse or
Waves of plague
We’ll rise up
Be the change
Knock it down
And start back stronger now
If I could take it all back
If I could reset the clock
Don’t think I have what it takes
To change the outcome at all
My feet are frozen and I’m waiting
Someone please set it off
If we could take it all back
If we could reset the clock
I know we have what it takes
To change this once and for all
Our feet are flying, can you feel it
Come on let’s set it off
Come what may
End of days
Pale white horse or
Waves of plague
We’ll rise up
Be the change
Knock it down
And start back stronger now

Awake Alive Alone
04:12
|

In the olden days
We’d stay up late
And talk in whispered tones
You would crack a joke
And I’d roll my eyes
But you’d still laugh on your own
Your own
In more recent nights
The knock-down drag-out fights
Where we’re shouting through our phones
But with all we’ve had
Good outshines the bad
So awake alive alone
That’s just the way that it goes
You hold it in ’til you blow
You make me feel so
Awake alive alone
You push and pull
Some days we’re cool
Some days we’re hot or we’re ice cold
I’d spring for climate control
But open windows are free
And they are freeing
If you or I need out
It’s nice to know we have the option
Having the option and choosing to stay
Says so much more about what we have
Anyway
That’s just the way that it goes
You hold it in ’til you blow
You make me feel so
Awake alive alone
That’s just the way that it goes
You hold it in ’til you blow
You make me feel so
Awake alive alone
That’s just the way that it goes
You hold it in ’til you blow
You make me feel so
Awake alive alone
That was pretty good

Cardboard Jesus

Cardboard Jesus looks on proud
At everything I’ve done today
Wrapped in cellophane and smiling
In the corner of my space
Rain down wash over me
Clean me of this everything
It’s just easier to believe
That we have never been more free
This is the greatest country I’ve seen
Believe me
But I’ve seen folks on the tv
Who don’t have luck like me
Well change the channel change the subject
Things are just fine believe me
Rain down wash over me
Clean me of this everything
I’m a mess a wreck
I’ve got to just reset my head
Rain down wash over me
I put my cardboard cutout Jesus on the lawn
He thinks and talks and looks like me
And I’ll act surprised when told I’ve bastardized and
Weaponized the name
Of the one who never stood for what I claim
I can see it now
Never been more down
We sail around the sun
Not the other way around
Rain down wash over me
Clean me of this everything
I’m a mess a wreck
I’ve got to just reset my head
So rain down wash over me

Where You Been

He never got it right no
He never had a chance when he
Fell into this cycle
Said he’d go to meetings
Really tried but every time
Days lost to the bottle
He moved away
Changed his name
It all worked out
Exactly the same
Hey there tell me where you been
And how’d you end up just like them
If you could be anything
How far away from here would you be right now
Pack the car give away your things
There’s nothing here worth saving
She’s jonesing for the next one
Paralyzed and out of mind
Uncomfortable in her own skin
Mother Father help her
Lonely lifeless down and out
Shame is piling on again
She moved away
Changed her name
Still she’s stuck
In that tired game
Hey there tell me where you been
And how’d you end up just like them
If you could be anything
How far away from here would you be right now
Pack the car give away your things
There’s nothing here worth saving
Close your eyes
See yourself in that space you want to be
Realize
Wake up now go out and chase it quickly
We’ll move away
Change our names
Don’t delay
Act now or you never will
Hey there tell me where you been
How’d you end up just like them
If you could be anything
How far away from here would you be right now
Pack the car give away your things
There’s nothing here worth saving

The Five

I sail away on stormy Saturdays
In my bedroom asleep I lay
In the wake of my mistakes
Then seemingly seemingly still
And with our doubt in medication
So harsh and loud this operation
Lean away lean away my dear
Lean away lean away
And we drive away on sunny Saturdays
Wish for ourselves a soul with which to stay
Lowering our windows so the smoke can now escape
Then seemingly seemingly true
And with our doubt in medication
So harsh and loud this operation
Lean away lean away my dear
Lean away lean away
I still notice when you are away
I still notice when you are away

Shifting Through Seasons
03:51

Ground grows hard
Hurts to breathe
Running through graveyards of skeleton trees
Real friends and I
Smashing pumpkins in the street again
Soak up the sunlight as it slips away
The sky is hung so low these days
So layer up and settle in it’s cold again
Where’s that sweater I forgot to mend
Shifting through seasons
Clenching my teeth and
Marching through headwinds
I’ll get where I’m going
Ahead of the snow
Party in an empty room
Warm drinks and fake friends
By December I’ll be done with them
They’re already sick of me
So I go outside
Feel the night on my skin
The numbness is settling in
Shifting through seasons
Clenching my teeth and
Marching through headwinds
I’ll get where I’m going
Ahead of the snow
Let’s go
The worst of it is over now
The ice retreats until next year
And I’m not feeling quite myself again
But I’ll get there
