The Prior

I recognize whatever happens
It's not my fault but I'm to blame
I'm doing my best to be a good father
But not everything will turn out great
The world is hard the world is cruel
My muscles ache I need some sleep
I can't help feeling like a failure
In twenty years what will I think
Now I'm thinking of the prior
Every moment a flowing river
The blinds I keep to myself I have control
Here's my last thought of the week
You're only as beautiful as you believe
At my best I'm still just a burden
At your worst you're worth my weekend
I'm only as worthless as I realize

Dogwoods

We had a stroll in the gardens
Studied the native flora
Kissing under the dogwoods
Babe, you know I adore ya
But some things just fade
Out in the grayness of winter
I see your face like a mirror
But you voice I am losing
I wish I'd held it tighter
Cause some things just fade

A Vague List of Demands
01:51
|
|||
|
I just don't know what to do
I'm sitting in bed pulling my hair out
I can't stop thinking of you
But who can't I stop thinking about
I'm so predictable in my actions
I can classify myself as parody
If I can't change or calm down
I'll just accept the catchy melody
I just want to stay home
I just want to go out
I just want to be skipped
I just want to be missed
I just want to be alone
I just want to be loved

You called cause you'd lost a number
But you were too busy to chat
You said I can call whenever
But I know I shouldn't expect that
I'm worried I'm wasting my focus
And that I'm assigning significance
To things that don't really matter
Minor moments don't manifest dreams
It's always something new when I'm sleeping
And mostly I don't remember a thing
When I wake
You called and gifted a rebirth
You don't know it but that's what it was
I'm waking up early in the morning
Without purpose but I don't feel lost
I was worried I was wasting my focus
But only I can assign significance

Excuses
02:13
|
|||
|
I've said some things I didn't mean
And those things I tend to repeat
I grow older and wiser everyday
But clearly my habits are here to stay
I can't figure out what to pin on me
And what to pin on you like you're listening
I'd slit my wrists just to not let you down
Everywhere I've lived has turned into a shithole town
I've got a headache all the time even when I'm calm
I wish the storm tearing through would just drag me along
I shake when I'm sober I shake when I'm drunk
I'd just give up if I hadn't already given up

Driving through Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Rain so thick It feels like it'll never stop
No one is preparing for the great flood
Just another day for the local residents
I never realize anything in the moment
Mundane of profound it goes over me
Looks like I'm staying here for the night
The Days Inn has a special this weekend
Maybe I'll check out their indoor pool
Look up the liquor laws for the state
I never realize anything in the moment
Mundane or profound it goes over me
I try to call to call you when the rain breaks
The stars emerging and you don't answer
I turn my phone off and turn on the tv
There's nothing on but what does it matter

Investments

Always planning ahead
But never how I should
Looks like I'll be late on rent
But I'm good for this hypothetical
I've gone out of my way
To drive all the way to Chicago
Which will never happen
I won't make my rent by Chicago I could

Napping
01:29
|
|||
|
I didn't stay up all that late
But it doesn't matter when I'm always tired
Trying to look at the positives
But I can't keep my eyes open
It's too hot my cheeks are red
The fog outside mimics the fog in my head
It's nice to have a day off from work
Except the realization that I have no plans

New Fall
01:36
|
|||
|
You apologized for caressing my thigh
You said you didn't mean it but we both know you did
I'm taking it as a compliment even if
I know I can't let it get to my head
I'm blaming the changes
I'm blaming the seasons
I'm not letting it leave my mind
I'm diving straight into the deep end
You keep your eyes glued to the floor
You keep a hand on your front door

Go to Sleep
01:25
|
|||
|
Sometimes there is no answer
Sometimes there is no solution
Sometimes I feel like I'm both Delilah and Samson
I'm cutting my own hair
I'm watching time go by on my cell phone
I'm watching time go by all alone
There's just silence and eye damaging glow
Sometimes all you can do is go to sleep
