YIKES ALMIGHTY!!!!

One day you wake up and your friends are gone Your lover's checked out, your country's wrong And what was once our common bond is now the backing track to a car commercial

And I don't know why the paranoia never fades Even if I was armed with all the answers I couldn’t stop the dents from sinking in I guess I'm wearing this

I guess this is me all grown up Proof that miracles can happen A stubborn Taurus with some dumb luck Still smoking from an apple Educated rich girls roll their eyes at my mention of a higher purpose And it hurts way less than years ago Cause their husbands all turned out boring And who takes advice from lives they don’t envy?

I can't lose another friend another way Yearly routine, skip the angry phase His body washed up on the beach Really freaked me out Same place I tried to do the same

Don't ask how I'm doing You know what I’ll say Save your sympathy for someone willing to elaborate The closer to sea level the further god's away Jumping rainbows over my scratched cd of a brain

I'm always secretly white knuckling Wait til I can get alone Won’t check myself into an institution, just into a cheap motel To decompress and pop the wheels of my spinning life Call everyone I've ever known, tell them I love them twice

New album.. Well Soon

I’m not always tired, but I’m usually peopled-out. It won’t be long til I move on from this and gracefully bow out. It don’t take much to get along, I don’t need much to keep me strong, I don’t talk much, I’m better off hiding where you can find me, At my window, every morning. Driving for days, still exploring. The remnants of my five year plan are shorter than my attention span. I’m most always bluffing still my conscience weighs nothing more than a ghost. My love for adventure makes me a flaky friend at best. Profoundly sad to admit, I’ll never get better than this. Cause in the funny way I see, it’s better if I leave before I hit my peak or my good luck dies. Won’t go to bed until I relearn to sleep on my side. And that’s the point of driving for days, never knowing. Still stuck in a full body yawn, a moment of calm, I’m standing face to face with a parody of myself hoping he don’t mind me asking, "Why do you hate so much? How did you chip your tooth? How are you so sure of your purpose and when did you know what’s best for you? And why do you care so much? What are you trying to prove? Won’t you wake me from my daydream when you leave for something new. I wanna come too."

I rake in every moment, drain the passion, drip a tear. Figure we’re declining like Romans, bet your ass I’m shifting gears and taking… all my pillow, my thoughts, my failures, the four letter word she awoke just to tell me, and my mug, my lighter, my books on a flight to a clean and well lighted place to settle down.
