I watch
The way you never look before you cross
I see
The way you’re never working to be seen
I swim
To make myself sometimes feel that way
I drown
Temporary fixes don’t stay…
I watch
The way you never look before you're lost
I see
Things you never wanted to be seen..
I swim
Cause I can't stand to never feel that way..
Still I drown
Temporary fixes don’t stay…
There’s no place in America where you can’t feel alright
I wonder what it’s like to be that sure of the night
There’s no place in America where the light don’t touch your face
Wonder what you’ll say when that’s no more the case..
There’s no place in America where you can’t feel alright
I wonder what it’s like to be that sure of the night
There’s no place in America where the light don’t touch your face
Wonder what you’ll say when that’s no more the case

Not My Fault

I used to trick myself
Into saying i was leaving
Used to trick myself
Into looking up to ghosts
I used to tell myself
That it wasn’t even living
If i was more than a memory
To the people back home..
I had myself convinced
I was a shark in the deep
Had myself believing
I would die if I sleep..
Told my friends that I
I could never be a tree
Putting roots in the ground
Was allergic to me
Maybe I could have touched the sky
With a different group on a different night
I could’ve been lost at sea
If I’d never been told ‘kid you need a plan B’
Maybe i would’ve jumped that train
On a different hill on a different day
Maybe these are just lies that I
I tell my heart
So i can sleep at night
Believing it’s not my fault
I used to sink myself
Into Kerouac schemes…
Put a mountain in my back
Like a rearview dream
I used to tell myself
That it wasn’t even living
If i was more than a memory
To the people I need.
Maybe I could have touched the sky
With a different group on a different night
I could’ve been lost at sea
If I’d never been told ‘kid you need a plan B’
Maybe i would’ve jumped that train
On a different hill on a different day
Maybe these are just lies that I
I tell my heart
So i can sleep at night
Believing it’s not my fault.

Plumb Lucky

Everybody’s heroes are dying
Cause they can’t afford to stick around
Everybody who jumps a little higher
Lands deeper in the ground..
Every box is empty
Are we finally moved in
Or are we at the beginning
Of the part where we leave again
I bought six lottery tickets
from the dollar store
Cause i been plumb lucky
Since the day i was born
This world was made to drive you mad;
Every night you make it there’s a whispering tree singing..
Every bar is empty
Cause the drunks are staying in
Every superhero is sleeping
Cause the problems got too big..
One of these days I’m gonna learn
A lesson or three
One of these days I’m gonna learn
How a person should be..
I bought six lottery tickets
from the dollar store
Cause i been dumb lucky
Since the day i was born
This world was made to drive you mad;
Every night you make it there’s a whispering tree singing,
“I can’t stand being here alone, but it’s
All I can do to pass the wind along and back to you”
There’s something in your rose tight hands
And if you let it bloom there’s a bird on the moon singing
“I can’t stand seeing you alone, but it’s
All i can do to pass the wind along and back to you again.”

Am i bored
Am i hungry
Am i tired of feeling guilty..
Was I made
In the shade
Do I break apart too easy…
I’m apologizing all of the time
I’m apologizing all of the time
If we stay
Out too late
I might be to blame
Am i broke
Am i lazy
Am i tired of feeling ugly..
I’m apologizing all of the time
I’m apologizing all of the time
I read the future in your palm it said “the end.”
Load up on promises, they will be worth something
I read the future in your palm it said “the end.”
Load up on promises, they will be worth something
I’m apologizing all of the time
I’m apologizing all of the time
I’m apologizing all of the time
I’m apologizing all of the time
