Our blood is the same colour
It’s just not the same solution
Mine is thin and briny
And it’s stuck by noise pollution
Let’s move to the country
We’ll pretend we don’t have problems
We’ll have dinner parties
Make our friends think we…

I’ll hit the road
Tonight I suppose
My eyes do a roll
When you make your joke
(why are you gonna hit the road? Are you mad at it?)
I wanted to
Be of some use
Words in my mouth
Cut my tongue out
It’s not so bad
This foreign land…

I am fed my daily bread
and I get you
my daily two
it’s been said you have to lose
So I put my foot in the other shoe
It’s harder than it looks to be prolific
It takes about half a book
of songs I’ve written
To make my brain split…

This past week
My life has been a complimentary airline seat
On the wing
Fighting air resistance and feeling thin
Took donations
And took compliments as best as I could manage
I’ll just sing
I’ll just try and sit for a moment…

I don’t have the fortitude to type out lyrics right now my bad

Im phoning this one in
Ive flown in tougher winds
But im tired and I have to flip
Over my whole house to be sit
Upon by a gracious friend
Who will stay here to sit my pet
Who, when house and pet have been sat
Will collect a tidy sum at…

I am a butterfly but not a monarch
I’m meat sliced thin and looking stark
On the granite, part of a meal unfinished
Swept off the counter and Into the garbage
I’m sorry, that was dark
I’m just a victim of pathetic fallacy
I’m partial…

I talked to big game
when I said I’d go to the show
now I’m me on the day
forgot how it feels to be alone
I’m not moving on my own
I’m no man I’m a millstone
at the bottom of the river i’d flow with upriver of all the live I could…

Mahogany dust, and grass in my lungs
I pull myself to a higher run
I’m chock full of maple
I bring to the table
A penchant to be so high strung
What a friend for to have
I’m not dead. I’m just sad.
If you’re talking to me
And you see…

I don’t feel great
I left my take
at the front desk
I did not intend
For the evening to turn out like it did
For me to feel like a new type of idiot
I can’t go back cause I’m already on a plane
Even if I did, what could I say?
I…

I came alone
No weapons drawn
In my hands
Or on the page
I’m unarmed and blank
I saved a song
To dance along
The room is burning down
Holy shit get out
I’ll stand on my head
To remember what you said
I’m a little scrambled…

One day I will be of sharper wit
I’ll know the words and what to say and shit
One day I will be a better man
I’ll make good plans and then ill stick to them
Some day time will be not so harsh
I’ll schedule yoga meetings in the park…

I’m a leaking pitcher
I’m half full
Full of dripping water
Coming from the roof
Pour me out in the garden
When the ground dries up
Set me up when the rain comes
Hear me fill with love
You’re alright
I’m a crooked picture
Hanging…

Rain for now
Sunshine catches in the clouds
Stay for now
Good things catching in my mind
Cast like a thread
Snagged on the end
Pulling me out of this shit
Like a thread that snags and intertwines
Pulling me out
Pulling me down…

I’m not as good as I thought I’d be
I was young and led to believe
To take the writings at their word
Now I’m grown more lines are blurred
What was right is heinous now
It’s up to me to work it out
Want to keep and what to toss
If it…

Im so sick of being tired
Im so tired of being tricked
Into giving up my time
To get a chance to live
A sliver at a time
And all the time im sapped
Like sugar in a tree
I freeze and thaw again
Until I’m flowing free
And I take…
