it's getting real fucking fast you can make a block work in your favor, but its tough fuck that, i'll bring it back i'll start working with what i've got whole new possibilities wow that was one of the best comeback i've seen
4.
(you know what happened? the tide came in it's too late now it's too late now i told you) i awoke to the thunder and thought it a bombing my friend woke up early went south to start working we all labor in work and if life, it ain't easy if we're happiest working and it pays off the lease i should get a new job for the first time in weeks its been steadily raining on the porch reading On the Road my patience is lazy and i'm being washed away i awoke to the thunder and thought it a bombing rolled over for someone everyone wants a lover in autumn ill press all the leaves that can be held in a folder i've got no new tricks even now that i'm older it's a worn song for the first time it feels like the summer is waning i knew the road north when the leaves were changing it was a short drive but it's been a long time (you know what happened? the tide came in)
5.
a road chosen for an afternoon drive it's rising and it winds the dirty glass reflects the light in my eyes it's burning and it blinds theres a childs eyes that cry because of lost control an ocean chosen for a morning swim there's swelling and there's tides no cessation for a thirst but to drown on in theres no one for miles theres a laden soul thats lost because its all alone a deck of cards to represent the stars she says i keep mine too close to my chest and that these days of chronic malaise and self-effacing claims they shadow what you love best theres a heavy heart that melts from her light and airy tone

except when a nightmare woke you suddenly - and i would scream as you placed your lips upon my cheek - now i'm older and i've got an education i've seen and read and done some terrible things - do you ever dream of me and wake up suddenly? do you ever dream of me?
8.
the views experessed in this song do not necessarily represent the views of the Hoborchestra of the B3nson Recording Company these guys were trying to kill me i didn't hate them i respected them the guy next to me got his leg shot off (I hear thats not a comfortable thing to have happen) no, you're dead i believe in America if you're going to do it do it right take the planes and bomb the towel heads out of existence thank you we dropped two atomic bombs Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war, didn't it? if i'm not pushing up daisies if you're not talking to people you're not living

would you maybe like to come visit? i know you might be sick but its monday night and there's good public television i even bought a book to learn a lesson on how to be pleasant but as hard as i try a lot of times this just happens (as hard as i try a lot of times this just happens maybe it's from falling asleep to war movies)
11.
you're the one that i'll haunt
12.
i've been going crazy in my dreams its never happened before and i have just been lazy now it seems to be ingrained in me there's no time like before if i had to answer when you asked me how and when it got bad it was when i started seeing all these people and not thinking me their equal but as just another tally to add
13.
Pt. I i didn't have to be there i go, plain clothed im glad that i went oh i dont think so maybe though i spend some time learning of the glorification i dont remember it all i read it one hundred times i think its a sign youre welcome to give that a try ill look into sleep and see what it says maybe ill go home, i dont know now they get to go truly fools gold i didn't have to be there tonight, jesus christ he's a published author a little more golden a great man Pt. II there would have been trumpets in every song you have too much and now he has the perfect amount he's not a full person or something and i'm not the same man he's certainly in her world its higher gravity sucked him right out of our world or out of the air as it were i just got quiet, disoriented, confused he's found that all of mars is sterile given that i haven't seen him on top of this mountain without sending smoke to the oceans i never have words to say the waves not reaching your ears i'm trying hard not to laugh at my choice of consonants that i put together i feel like i'm a little closer something with dead i can't remember
14.
that's my beer man poor guy
15.
Darkness 01:28
16.
i am the past no i don't make the future for that is your task to make it how you choose it and i believe in you yes i believe in you
17.
if you want to go you'll go and if you want to stay you'll stay and if you want me to say i'll say "i think its best for today" but if you want me to jump i won't i can get there on my own but if you say "baby, wait" i could do it some other day if you want to dive you can but i'm just fine in the shallow end when i was young i would swim but lately i just dream of the ocean so if you want to stay, then stay and if you want to leave, i see but every place is what you make of it so baby its the same either way
