He Looked Upon the World

there once was a time
there was a little kid
he looked upon the world
and knew that it was his
there once was this girl
she had gone and seen the world
it was different from his
she had some big ideas
"get out of here,
find some better place to live"
can you believe it?
that's what she said
went on a quest to find her own head
won't she be pissed
when she finds out she never left
so go and run
find some better place to live
we'll both be fine
we've had some time to figure out
we'll never grow old
we never had this
finally, we'll find
we always thought that
this time we'd be kind

you just up and left
i didn't even get your name
let's face it though, forget it
i'd have gotten up and left
we're all the same
i said i'd take a break
slept'til one then hit the bank
no wonder i can never save
i'd have gotten up and left
after the way that i behaved
they say once in a lifetime
a kid like him will come by
everyone who knows him will like
the way that kid lived his life
cup of coffee before i bake
start another week off safe
chart another star, i'm a dreamer
or insane
i rest my case
if i'm still around
i hope that we can get along
when you're close
everyone else feels so far away

Brave Face

let's talk about the life i haven't lived yet
when i'm old and i'm gray, and i'm bound to regret
i was bitter too soon, and i squandered my youth
i'll look back and i'll wish i went out on weekends
but it's way past mending
or making amends
it's better this way
the green grass on that side of the fence
dad always told me "son, careful about wishing,
because before you know it you'll be ending transmission"
time shows no mercy, nostalgia's a curse
pull the brake with urgency, brace yourself for the worst
i'm facing mistakes, such as self-made tough breaks
quit while you're ahead, say i made it this way
i done made my bed, in the gray clouds i'll lay
i'll put on this face now like i'm tough and i'm brave
cause it's way past mending
or making amends
it's better this way
the green grass on that side of the fence
i'll lay

life came up and talked to me
"i might be short i might be sweet,
but sad isn't something i'd ever wanted to be"
i said "won't you grow old with me,
i talk tall tales you won't believe"
but old isn't something i ever wanted to be
i dreamed along the sea last night
i've not the stones to dip skinny, though
especially not in full-on January
instead i stared, a sleepless sky
until i'm dead, a sleepless guy
i'll be the one who dreams awake all night

everything has changed
nothing is the same
everything's the same
nothing here has changed
nothing here has changed
everything's the same
everything's the same
nothing here has changed
everything has changed
nothing is the same
everything has changed
nothing is the same
you do what you can
with the words that are
already there
that's no reason
be unprepared
i stand before you
arms open, ribs spread
this heart is bare
the one you called come over
singing don't be scared

Heavy

hang low, hello how goes it?
i'm ok though,
hello
hang low hello yellow, how goes it fellow?
who knows? i'm ok though
final fine while the winos dine,
they think they'll find where the thick vines grow
diamond dyno, dial drone halo hello,
oh hell no
hang low hello yellow, white glows bright
'til it burns out my eyeballs
sirens, silos, synths and my scythe
can't quite see, but that's all right
voices from inside screaming
fill up the void
might riot, but let's not fight until we're sure
hang low hello yellow, how goes it fellow?
who knows? i'm ok though

Picture Frame
02:11
|

got a girl, she keeps me up all night
i know something deep inside's not right
because you're out of the picture
and you're keeping out of sight
and i'm left with a neat frame,
hanging heavy
on my mind, a silver line with
something so plain
an empty square, showcased somewhere
no one else can see my gallery,
all of my rogues look shockingly like me
i won't say i'm my worst enemy,
i just hate my fucking face
blue fades to gray, gray fades to black
don't recognize those eyes
that are staring back
an empty shell, where used to be a man
but what good's a future when you have no future plans
and i'm left with a weird chain,
hanging from my heart
and a mix tape called pain never leaves my car
sing you're right, i'm wrong
this really ain't that bad
you're right, i'm wrong
and we can still be friends
let's stop and take a minute.
and we can take a breath
and i can put on a face, and be happy
despite of what's inside of me
wouldn't trade these dreams we've made for happy memories
wouldn't have it any other way

Happy Memory

emergency alert!
distress call to all people
will someone reassure me
that this isn't real?
the president on the other line
an expert person in his field says
"go ahead, squeeze the trigger, kill me dead,
go on, seal the deal"
bloodshot eyes only see in red
blood runs through us all
until we meet the end
what bull we run through
until we shit the bed
where exactly are we running?
why would we both hide from truth?
why would, how could, we should,
we shouldn't do this
i won't do this to you
if i don't write these words out now
then they might never come out
if i don't write these words down now
then there will be shouting
like i can't look in a mirror
without punching the wall
i can't go to that place and work it all out
on my mind, there's always a cluttered room
i've used up all my thoughts just thinking of you

life goes fast
some months have gone by
a lot's gone on
i've not seen you for a while
i'd ask how it's been
but i know you're ok
a lot's gone on, but
we're still the same
we're in our own place
a "doing me" state
with fun on the side
it's weekends all day
the colors never
looked quite so bright
this happens to be
a magical time
right now i'm winning
winning the fight
that i'll be fighting the rest of my life
now it's 4am in Montreal
i bet you never planned to get no sleep at all
when there's cigarettes and alcohol
and eight different types of flavored water
maybe someone will let us on their roof
if we can sing them Fly Me to the Moon
they'll let us in if we talk smooth
and show them not all Americans are rude
hangman, hangman
we waited 'til light
we found you cold and airborne
you wasted your life

Hey, Hang On, Wait!
01:55

it starts like this
i'm still a mess
not the type of guy who likes
to stand in the way of progress
i'll take a pass
good for a laugh
never any good at math
but i enjoy the process
i can't wait today
i'll follow through
though wait, hang on
have i thought this through
enough? hang on, i'm attempting to
temptation, i'll follow you right through
i'll swallow my fright, holy christ
we bought the zoo, so let's live life
sing it's not too late for you
sing it's not too late for you
