Simple Thing

I'm letting go of measurements now
There's nothing here that reassures my senses at all
I haven't got a clue what could be you what could be what I should do
It's just a simple thing
There's no believing but I can see
I found myself in chocolate ice cream after the scene
It doesn't matter how I should be now and anyhow it's done now
It's just a simple thing
It sounds like something I'd say
and then I'd throw it away
you'd say hey man it's ok
I haven't got to be clear
I only have to stay near
There's something I can say about light
there's nothing there to shine in hindsight
It's only right
I haven't seen the way the world collides the way it goes right inside
It's just a simple thing
I've got a million things
and someday I'll have a ring
but i don't want it to sting
she'd say hey man you're alright
and then I'd turn on the light

When the time arrives
02:15
|

|
It's starting up this thing on the sidelines
I'm starting to see how it's right
I'm getting back to where I had started
It's starting to become my life
It seems that it's nothing when the time arrives
It seems that I'm something when the time arrives
I'm getting lost in these things under my life
I'm getting back to what they are
It's having time to see what is inside
It's having time to be alive
It seems that it's nothing when the time arrives
It seems that I'm something when the time arrives

Fainting
03:34
|
|||
|
It seems ok to fool myself sometimes
like when I take a ride away from me and slowly make myself asleep
but I care about it
and I want to see the world the way it sees me
I won't stare at the sun
but I will believe that if I did that I'd be fine and more alive
I'm not gonna stray
but I will believe that if I stray I will stay
It seems naive to make myself alright
using nothing but convention and the things to make a life
but I care about it
and I want to see the world the way it sees me
I won't stare at the sun
but I will believe that if I did that I'd be fine and more alive
I'm not gonna stray
but I will believe that if I stray I will stay
Waiting patiently and awkwardly for me
holding all the breath I have waiting for me
I can do it, I can fake it
guess we'll see why won't we
why won't we
I won't stare at the sun
but I will believe that if I did that I'd be fine and more alive
I'm not gonna stray
but I will believe that if I stray I will stay

I'm searching for ways to stay inside leaving all the work for me
I'm staying afloat minus insides just leaving them all to see
and faces everywhere
left hands and right hands shake
and last songs keeping things
how they're supposed to feel by the last take
and I'm not sure how much I'll give up right here
and I'm not sure how much I'll turn off this year
If all of my life I've been this one I'm sure that the past hates me
If all of this time I've been ok then what could I hardly see
and bad things making sense
good things just keeping me here
and laughter, full of me
sooner or later I'll see
and I'm not sure how much I'll give up right here
and I'm not sure how much I'll turn off this year
We're never something
we're always seeing
but we maybe have our eyes closed sometimes
We're keeping something
we're busy writing
it's sort of living when there's something else
and I'm not sure how much I'll give up right here
and I'm not sure how much I'll turn off this year

I'll Get Up
01:57
|
|||
|
I'm leaving myself out back and I'm taking things to say
I'm dragging light around and nothing will make me stay
don't think that I'm unprepared it's just that I choose the wrong things
don't say my name out loud without finding something obscene
get up and see the light around
get up and see the light downtown
Unfortunate it is that nothing can matter like this
how very weird it is that I'm still a frame of myself
don't wonder why it is that there hasn't been an echo
don't get all sick right now just thinking what do I know
get up and see the light around
get up and see the light downtown

I'm doing fine but that's not what I've been finding out
right here in the back of my life
It's making sense but that's not what matters to the world
when it's just yourself and the night
It's just a circle where's the marble
I'll drop it right
I'm not a first class rider I'm a person at night
Getting better's not an insult, not a compliment
It's just some time
We'll be alright
There's doing time and there's saying where the hell am I
and I think there's both in tonight
There's waking up and there's five o clock I'm making sure
that there is someone in the right
It's just a circle where's the marble
I'll drop it right
I'm not a first class rider I'm a person at night
Getting better's not an insult, not a compliment
It's just some time
We'll be alright

I don't want to care
03:13
|

I'm setting myself up for this a life of purpose
A factory made life presence a person in gear
I don't think that I have much left
I don't think that there is much left
I'm getting much more relentless by thinking I'm not
I'm starting to see the difference in making it stop
I don't think there is a time span
I don't think there has to be one
A joke is a thing I care for, a way to exist
A time before all the purpose the stuff of sadness
I'm wishing that I was something
I'm wishing that there was something
And I don't want to care

The Last Dance
02:44
|

My last words are not alive I don't have them planned and in my opinion that's fine
The last dance is a thing online there is nothing more than taking things as signs
A first glimpse at an additude
It's not first or last
It's not second class
It's not anything we don't know
There is nothing I can say
It's not yes or no
It's not here we go
It's not anything at all
A good time is somewhere else I don't have the time and in my opinion that's fine
A first kiss hasn't happened yet there's something wrong with me but I'm not sure that it exists
A first glimpse at an additude
It's not first or last
It's not second class
It's not anything we don't know
There is nothing I can say
It's not yes or no
It's not here we go
It's not anything at all

There's getting lost and then there's losing
There's getting up and then the fall
I'm having lunch late in the evening
I'm not the person from before
It's seeing life that makes me hopeful
It's seeing who can make a life
It's finding out what to consider
It's finding out what can collide
I don't know what to know
I don't see anything beyond these years
It's all gone but I'm not
and I'm here for something
I'm staking out all for my own sake
I'm looking out for my interests
I'm getting out more often these days
I'm starting to see what to see
I don't know what to know
I don't see anything beyond these years
It's all gone but I'm not
and I'm here for something

The Mirror
04:46
|
|||
|
Don't think that I have to sit down
to sing to myself
Don't wonder where I must kid myself
when I turn right around
Everything is what I can see in the mirror
that's just how I turned out
Everything is where I last saw the mirror
it's just something I've found
Sending lots of love to this life
I don't want to stay strong
Sending me to high school back there
wouldn't be all that wrong
Everything is what I can see in the mirror
that's just how I turned out
Everything is where I last saw the mirror
it's just something I've found
