Bored

Lately I’ve been feeling bored
Like every word I hear I’ve heard before
Like I’m predicting every chord
Yeah lately I’ve been feeling bored
And lately I’ve been feeling fear
That it’s not them but I who fails to hear
What should be obviously clear
Why don’t you put me to the sword
Why don’t you feed me to the horde
Lately I’ve been feeling bored

Concerted Effort
02:30
|
|
||
|
Now here’s my concerted effort
to keep a thing that I love forever
Wrong or right, the truth is unlikely
to be confirmed as fair or unsightly
So say you’re ugly and you very well might be
In brighter lights I start to see it slightly
It doesn’t bother me anymore
I saw James on Grand St this morning
Waved weak and watched as he smiled back coyly
Give pause / change pace
They neither took place
We kept ambitiously feeding to where our bread crumbs were leading

I used to go above and beyond
But beyond is above my pay
You work so hard for a thing
And the job ain’t worth the raise
Have I given up enough of myself to stop?
Probably not, probably not.
I tried to reign it all in
But now I’m too pissed off to stop
You made me feel like the pop song
Yr parents spelled yr name wrong
And yr freaking me out don’t stop
I felt like the pop song told me to
Projected the image I sold to you
And even if none of it’s true
Yr freaking me out don’t stop
Why aren’t you wearing yr party dress?
Why are you eating cheese on bread without me?
Why are you bringing that cop around me?
Why don’t you eat dessert early?
It so important to you
Why don’t you eat dessert first?
Is that a cop or an ambulance?
You dying or you trying to dance?
Yr freaking me out don’t stop
I saw you breaking bread with that cop

I know you’ve been watching
And you’re not one for talking
You don’t gotta take me back
Just tell me why
I heard you’ve been hurting
It’s a bit concerning
You don’t gotta take me back
Just let me know you’re alright
Maybe it’s not obvious
what I’m going through
But if I’m being honest here with you
we were both more cool
Before
I know you like hiding
Maybe I’ll try writing
You don’t gotta take me back
Just tell me why
I’ve heard I’m exhausting
Not sure what that’s costing
But I promise that I’ll pay you back
Every dime
I may not be worthy of
everything you’ve done
But I’m not deserving of
what you’re doing now
Like bro, wow
You don’t gotta take me back
Just tell me why

Finish Her Drink
01:49
|
|

I really wanna be on to something
I really wanna know your favorite words,
to gather in herds and graze in your brain
all hazy and quaint
Getting off on being somewhere that I shouldn’t be,
she asks me to finish her drink.
I swear to god that my heart’s not in this,
but then I start to think
I really wanna be on to something
I really wanna know your favorite words,
to gather in herds and greys in your brain
all hazy and quaint
Boldly bright and right into
the old familiar flight of youth,
‘Cause when we kissed
I felt her switch
Into an exhibitionist
Well, shoot
I don’t know if I can
I don’t know if I’m capable
Prolly had too much already
I really want a Beyoncé Summer
I really want to nose a floral wine
I really want to explore and discover
I really want to combine

Stillborn Brainchild

Another stillborn brainchild
What a perfect angel
Joining the choir
We never got his name out
Wonder how he came out
So long my friend
See you again
Another thousand days
come and gone
Beautiful refrain
But i hope
It’s not too late
‘Cause every second I get older and the more I hate
The little bastards and am tempted to explore the ways
I could destroy this place and erase my save file

Souvlaki

I’ve never heard Souvlaki all the way through,
But I will someday.
It’s true he works for the bank,
Although it’s not what you’d think,
But yeah, he works for the bank
He tells them what to believe /
What to take or to leave,
And then they’re telling him thanks
What can be said about him for certain?
I’d prefer not to define a person, but…
Track 1 - Alison:
I held the longing without hearing the words.
Track 2 - Machine Gun:
Before I knew it 40 Days was done
Oh, if it isn’t an exquisite frame
I lean in to the modular guidance,
appropriately conveying the power of intention,
And showing off my small collection of collections
I’ll let you know if i want to be somewhere so divine
Here I am, I’m talking to myself again (it’s no matter)
Wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’
Take me out tonight
I want to see lights
I want to see lights
It ain’t nothin’ that a little Lilith Fair playlist cannot fix
(For when you’re running low on mommy)
