I'm Dispensable

I'm dispensable, I'm like cigarette ash I know. Out the car window and in the cold air I go. And I splash on the concrete trampled by the steel stampede. I'm never needed I just like to feel that way. Blinking is simple when you're not trying hard to sleep. But tear out my TV and you tear out my soul this week. So I fill up with nothing. I get more and more surrounded, more and more surrounded by this love.

I suppose this is how it feels when people make New Year's resolutions. I suppose this how it feels when everything is great, but I never saw it coming. It break me like a wave. I'm so sick of all this selling, this standard name of mine. And I'd kneel right down in front of God if he'd just give me the time, but he never really bothered. "You'll make it on your own" So I never got along, never got along, never got along. What it is...throw the rabbit in the snow. If I had half the time I used to, I'd lock you up in these arms and I'd whisper something stupid about the bad day I've been on, but it just keeps getting better. It only makes me smile. And I never understand, never understand, never understand. What it is I just can't explain...

Mood Swingin'
02:40

It's over me. I don't get it. I think I disagree. Happiness just flew right out, the cold it covered me. The mood swingin', twisting, simply existing, crying and twitching. Stitching the system once again. I stood I clapped, I stared harder, I bit my tongue and laughed. I'm upset: I had love but the sun won't give it back. I think I'm just tired, it's love I'd require, but don't dance on the new choir. They're all dreaming the winds won't carry them back.

No Wait, I'm Better Now

There left focus don't mess around. Don't confess, don't you frown. Just write down what you know: happy when we're alone. Oh my half time! But damn that sunrise, it's something more simple: falling out the window and out the door. MONDAY! Freak out! No wait, I'm better now. Twist, scream and shout! But no wait, I'm better now. What it's gonna take? My bones feel hot. How's it gonna stop? It's cold but not. Just write down what you know, happy when we're alone.Just write down what you know, just write down what you know. Something more simple, happy when we're alone. I just write down what I know, I'm falling out the window. Just write down what you know, happy when we're alone.

Snappy

I saw the shadow of an airplane trying to follow a cloud that looked like a brain and I ain't never felt like this before. You're getting tired, I'm getting more worked up. But he's just a liar. This place we found isn't such a bad place though it's smaller than I recall. "So whats the matter?" The captain says to his kid. Tips his hat and sets him off with the wish that he's lost his ability to sleep and dream. So take a tree branch and light it up with a match. Says to stomp it out, I kindly say that I'll pass because it's kind of reminding me that you're here. So I'll take the suitcase, I'll lock it up in a trunk, forget it today. For about six months or such man it's a drag how we all make this so tough.

Medicine
02:32

Soft tooth, the truth starts making patterns on a nap-time afternoon where we're sleepy and the rain clouds open up to reveal the moon. But I found something simple like a song will give me medicine now. Give me medi-, give me medicine now! I keep the creep, shallow shadow that safely kept my feet in dreams so my mind won't wander and my heart won't overheat. But it did. And now I'm not so sleepy freeze. Bring me water, give me taste of the bees and give me medicine now! Hard drink? You think, "my tongue don't wanna but my brain needs some relief. 'Cause it's sleeting and the roads are icy as I slide back into sleep.

Get Righteous
02:40
|
|||
|
Nights that I bite my tongue I get so aligned. I get so outright, I get righteous and you get righteous with me. And it's so simple like "peace on earth" or "time". We all get righteous. Yeah we all get righteous alright?
nobody knows.......I got time to pick you up, I got time to...I got time to waste my time, I got time to wear it out. I got time! I got time! I got all the time in the world.

What's Wrong?
02:12
|

|
So it's spirit into soil, another blood hound for the king of making himself worried! One more smoking up the scene with two nice cups of caffeine, like a tree knows how to breathe, I keep moving myself forward though on my thoughts you'll always be. I mean to sound more simple, but it's hard learning how to talk in some predestined language unlike a dog knows how to bark. So what's wrong if I feel like crying every time you're not around? I try making myself better, always wounds perfectly around.

omg Arlo Guthrie
02:34
|
|||
|
My shaking legs won't stop their shaking. All run down again, restless mistakin' in shock of all their senselessly falling out of time. But oh my God it's Arlo Guthrie singing "Anytime, won't you love me?" I'm never sure, so try to remind me sometimes. And I like every bit more to lift my neck that hurts I never heard the worst of cursing out and acting loud, never did. Let's quiet down the neighbors are dreaming of downsizing, universe squeezing. I'd cut the power if only I had a saw! Got my nails, sinking feeling of the floor as more of my eye's place for leaking. I feel so helpless sometimes I ain't got a paw to stand on anymore: a minor war that grows indoors and out the shore and bores the feeling of "what for?" I can't find one thing that I love more than you, too indifferent to ignore. Expend a mess that I'll explore too closely, I'm struggling to keep score. I fell a long way like a trap door. 'Cause I fell a long way like a trap door. I fell a long way like a trap door. I fell a long way like a trap door. I fell a long way like a trap door. I fell a long way like a trap door! I fell a long way like a trap door! I fell a long way like a trap door!

Look like a whiter light, I've been so pale these days, but I don't worry 'bout that. Surprise! I'm wasting time. I'm weighing down all the lined highways (I'm) so scared of the night. So, I'm worried 'bout that. Sorry when I start to stare, I feel silly every time you're there and I'm in love with that fact. I'm too tired to keep track of how many times I never know how to react. So I just keep my hands in my lap, oooooooo.
