The Scraps of You

so here’s where the fun begins
and where the falling comes in
here’s where the tally marks end
but i cant tell you where to start
but dontcha wanna hear about my day
but dontcha wanna know which of my visions are my way
but dontcha wanna know a couple things
that i probably shouldnt say
i find that sometimes im a funny guy
tell a quip and then work the crowd
its all a bit on the fly
then its finally on
then its finally finally on
then its finally finally on
till words fly that are just a little
hold on wait just a fucking second
was it just something i invented, had you really meant it
but dontcha wanna know a couple things
i find that sometimes i just cant sleep right
a bitch needs to get some rest on this long flight
its been a week since
its been a week since
its been a week since
its been
a tough time
to head to the beach
to leave no trace
thank god that theres still
some life in your face
i worry sometimes
where have you gone
i’m not myself
but you’re still displaced
a glass of water
to cool my nerves
oh i got her
you think you’re clever
i figured you out
but i got nothin to do with it
but thats all a long long time ago
at least by my schedule
gone till the dawn
the song for the yawn if i heard correctly
but dontcha wanna hear about my day
but dontcha wanna know which of my visions are my way
but dontcha wanna know a couple things
that i probably shouldnt say
but dontcha wanna hear about my friends
but dontcha wanna know which of my long lost fears remained
but dontcha wanna know a couple things
that im not gonna say

fading colors catch your eyes
no use crying over them tonight
find your place to run and hide
fall asleep wake up dirty inside
the sunset glows in a natural light
all of us laying on the grass tonight
find your place to run and hide
youll never get the nerve to go outside
and what about those things you do
and what about that pile in the corner
and what of it
i have no idea what im doing
a funny little whisper
a funny little friend
a funny little event you cant see again
its all down in the hollow
its so far far far away
now youve lost your color
its all in the sand
all innocent
and bright
but this isn’t a caution
this isn’t a warning sign
you still got a smile on your face
and thats just fine
fading colors catch your eyes
no use crying over them tonight
find your place to run and hide
fall asleep wake up dirty inside
the sunset glows in a natural light
all of us laying on the grass tonight
find your place to run and hide
youll never get the nerve to go outside
i’ve got an idea, that’ll make your eyes pop out
fading colors catch your eyes
no use crying over them tonight
find your place to run and hide
fall asleep wake up dirty inside
the sunset glows in a natural light
all of us laying on the grass tonight
i’ve got the nerve to go outside

tv makes its own melodies for me
twenty makes for a feeling on my knee
nothing in the center its just a cutout
youre kicked out
back of the room panoramic scene
i thought i was cold
i forgot what was cold
the water drippin down
on the inside of my soul
please i got a feeling
please please i need meaning
two more steps to too late
but at least im breathing
tick tock i keep feeling how the clock stops
make a log of how the monster in the pot flops
feeling short winded in a big world
but my vision stays tinted with a swirl
its a great new expedition
where the least is my ambition
at least thats my mission
at least im not bitching
truth is
its just too heavy
the skin feels like sparkles
im not very fleshy
please dont get startled
big day
you may see prey
look in the mirror and see
its face, not safe
with a little of your least favorite things
mixed in just to make your mind say
make your mind say
make your mind up i dont need a lecture from you
i dont need your mixture of an unsafe worldview
i dont need you to poke through my brain
to look through my things
but maybe, you’re not doing anything
surrounded on all sides by an idle force
im outnumbered by the soldiers of the white horse
nobody here’s looking though
they cant see my skin singing in the night
i thought i was cold
i forgot what was cold
the water drippin down
on the inside of my soul
please i got a feeling
please please i need meaning
two more steps to too late
but at least im breathing
i thought i was cold i felt a new feeling that wasn’t the cold
a chilly night makes the drops feel like they’re falling
but none on my face when i think that im bawling
i wipe them off but theres no more
i ran out a long time ago
theres not a key to this door
im putting this bowl on the floor
cause im just a little messed up
girl ive gotta fess up
this is a test but
i follow you i follow you
im scared of you im scared of you
but only because of the view
im perfectly wrong looking through
my only q is i dont know how you knew
but you really didnt know anything did you?
i melt into the couch and all i find is mildew
finally off the shits but im just back into my queue
face is freezing solid i get icy looks
a blankets not enough i look like meat up on a hook
documentarian crack open a book
the fountain still drips drip drip drip drip
i thought i was cold
i forgot what was cold
the water drippin down
on the inside of my soul
please i got a feeling
please please i need meaning
two more steps to too late
but at least im breathing
would you still love me if i felt a lot
would you still love me if i was snowed and taut
would you still love me if my limbs fell off
would you still love to hold my hand and rot
wouldnt you just love to see my crying win
im telling you see my frostbite made me thin
is this just a chill or did my body shake
is this just my head or did you give me sake
wouldnt you just want a little bad taste
wouldnt you get mad to see a figure pass your face
would you still love me if the truth stings
would you still love me if i see things

woken by a light
but its forever night
a new world has come
but you won’t see the sun
there was a moment i had felt
just like the world was on a shelf
swish swish swish i got liquid in my
head
who knows if we’re all dead
but i gotta feeling im still in bed
but its been centuries
so many memories
floating above all the ruins with chimneys
smoke pours out of the old places i went
carries the dirt as i breathe in its in me
everything i recognize is all already spent
seeing the ground below covered in flowers
while people are trapped up top in their towers
the ground turns alive at the start of the showers
for oh so many hours
you travelled opposite of me
we tried to speak but couldn’t see
what are we trying to say
why do we try anyway
i was a heart i couldn’t help
you had a frown that wouldn’t melt
there’s no forgetting
that we’re never ending
until we
break down
the whole town
until we find out what’s going on in our world now
for now just feel fine
in the moonlight
ill come out tonight when the clock
strikes five million am
woken by a light
but its forever night
a new world has come
but you won’t see the sun
there was a moment i had felt
like there was a hand i had been dealt
the gears started turning
my mind was returning
with all my friends we hit the road
there were just things we had to know
past all the markets
off into the darkness
driving around the old patches of concrete
forgot our old names so we use old legends now
connections we made guide the visions we complete
a mark on the map where the info is found
but when we arrive theres no secret that’s hidden
just a dusty old frame with a picture of me
but who else is here that my mind finds forbidden
and why has my face contorted many degrees
so please lets
break down
the whole town
until we find out what’s going on in our world now
for now just feel fine
in the moonlight
ill come out tonight when the clock
strikes five million am
i said lets
break down
the whole town
until we find out what’s going on in our world now
for now just feel fine
in the moonlight
ill come out tonight when the clock
strikes five million am

that might be of interest to you
i gotta thank ya bud
im off to head for the moon

im stepping out of the car
this aint a healthy route
ive gotta spring in my step and thats all i gotta say
ive gotta go to rest and thats all i did today
no denial

no denial

dont be mild
dont be the end of the sidewalk tonight
and set it down lightly now
shes falling down slightly now

Room Switching Song

start from the beginning
start over from square one
find your place that you need
look me in the eye, if you’re able to
rest easy my baby its a new day
found something good in a new way
where you got the life happy
where maybe the ground gives way

i thought so many things
i sought so many things
i heard something
that i cant let out
i had a heart to sing
i had a heart to sing
there is something
in the air
that you never wanna see
trust me
trust me
trust me
this is dangerous
it could be too much
please lets not find out

A Fake Rainbow
03:26

i’ve not talked in a long time
i wanted to let you know
ive written a story that takes a lot from my life
the words flow
theres always a name where you’re from
and always others that’ll fill in
made a wish
wont be long
when are you gonna hear my song
its still spring
this is a poem of unforgettable
tellings of every story known
i dont know if you can hear me
sob in quiet silence
i figured everything out but i saw too much
the meadow the rain
the heat
where where on earth
between heaven and earth
there were you there
and the deed of them
had a dream of words in print
take me on a day trip you my friend
in the heat
indeed again
when would you go back to the world
holding onto the wing my friend

Sun for Daylight
04:19
|
|||
ive been gone
where’d you go
its for the best that it didnt carry on
ghosts came home
but you didnt know
just a couple haunted by the lights before dawn
my soul soars
flying in the sky
i’ve got a little info that’ll let you go
i finally realized
the fault aint mine
im just a little too nice
and i walked tonight
under the cover of sight
and i cursed the night
then i asked the sun for daylight
and i walked tonight
covering the canvas with a splash of white
and i saw the knife
but the chances were only might
close
close that door
its time i get it and make that chapter done
you ghosts aint welcome
get out from under the floor
it took a long time but i think that i’ve won
i feel a lot better
its hard to be a friend
at least when the things that you hate are still fun
a stroke of the paint brush
but still i’m untouched
i forgot all the things that happened except one
so i walked tonight
under the cover of sight
and i cursed the night
then i asked the sun for daylight
and i walked tonight
covering the canvas with a splash of white
and i saw the knife
but the chances were only might

won’t you call me by our favorite names
there’s several i know good
but i’ve settled down
on whatever you like
running at the void
with love and love and love and love and love
what am i here for
when i dont want more
i just wanna take a minute
to say
i get it
i just found a sacred analogue
and now i what to do
i want to
fall through you
and so far down
down around
and never ever be found
im not off the deep end
but the water’s gettin choppy
i just don’t know what the future holds
but i hope
what if we panned out forever
of course that’s just a little hard with
love and love and love
all that i wanna do
is learn how to know you
and all you love
falling down an endless flight of stairs
i want to
be confused
and spiral on
won’t you call me by our favorite names
which one you ask
whichever one i am
don’t you let me cry and stagger on home
i just know that i dont want anything but you

Puppet Parade
02:12
|

box of stuff that you never use
time spent that you meant to lose
its all a piece of who you are
and no one
can say that you’re not no one
its telling you dont know em
long time passes in a jiffy
its easy when you’re not so
busy in the center of the world
tell me if you’re gonna go with
me and the friends i got around
we’re smiling the whole way
down the spirits they come out to play
when puppets go on parade
the memories show their face
when the puppets find their place
a ruckus on main street
slam in the face of
10 feats of strength to win
some fun is sure to do you
some good
watch the puppets dancing on parade

Nothing I Can't Do
07:31
|

hold me closer
theres nothing i cant do
lonely explosions
theres nothing i cant do
only a portion
theres nothing i cant do
open exposure
theres nothing i cant do
all of the day time
is where you lie down
wake up girl
its time to see your gown
theres a lot you miss out on
when you go to move on
and the law moves right on
and you’re sitting on a blue a new lawn
why dont you
tell me the
falling youre
feeling is
all of the
time you dont
know
where to go
and all of the
sudden i
feel you
and all of the
things that we
knew are just
something to
leave
all of my
vitals are
placed in
a will
and all of my
wills are just
haggard but ready
to go to the moon

I'm Nobody
02:39
|
|||
you can see right through me
i’m nobody
there is nothing to me
i’m nobody
i’m just an expression
i’m never aware
a visual question mark in the air
pass right by or through me
i’m nobody
i used to worry about it
one time i went to see a psychiatrist
i said there must be a way out!
he said you are a way out
he said if you were any further out you wouldn’t be here at all
what’s my trouble doc, i said
well, he said
i think your trouble is
my initial diagnosis
without resorting to hypnosis
finds your letting a psychosis dominate
for your trouble is osmosis, even osmosis neurosis
i said stop the hocus pocus tell me straight
well your osmosis has discreetly quite absorbed yourself completely
there is almost nothing left of you, he said
your complex isn’t varied but it is complexionary
in psychiatry we say holes in the head
you can’t analyze me
i’m nobody
life won’t recognize me
i’m nobody
whatever i think
goes forever unsaid
the thoughts dribble out through the holes in my head
life won’t recognize me
i’m nobody

to the chair
whose wheels on its legs
are staring me down
while a nightmares hangin on
to the plastic bag
whose monstrous head
that i have to turn around
to keep from knowing what i know
to the skeleton on the wall
to the light blinking along
to the face in my mirror
i smile in the dark
and what a sight
theres just some things ive gotta fight
laying on the bed in the eye of the storm
all my fears are still warm
i see you lookin at me
i feel your eyes in my mind
so i’ll laugh it off this time
and look back with a smile
to the faces
to the endless crowds of faces
that melt into my world
like clues in a game
to all the rabbit holes
that ive fallen along
bumping my head
every step of the way
to the shadows on the ceiling
to the cracks in my wall
to the darkness around me
i smile
and what a sight
theres just some things ive gotta fight
laying on the bed in the eye of the storm
all my fears are still warm
i see you lookin at me
i feel your eyes in my mind
so i’ll laugh it off this time
and look back and
smile away
the dark today
the sun came out and shes just
shining to stay
but ill still have my little world
even if only to play
me and my friends
we just laughed
we just laughed
we just laughed
we just laughed
