Neon Lights

After our show, my soul left my body
It came out my mouth hunching over an ashtray
And wiping my lips and my eyes I saw everything
Back to when I bought my first guitar, before
Neon lights pulse through my body at night
Neon lights pulse through my body at night
I’m in the back seat between amps and i’m mumbling
“I know that I’m going nowhere, nowhere”
But nobody hears me, not even myself
“I know that I’m going nowhere, nowhere”
Neon lights, pulse through my body at night
Neon lights, pulse through my body at night

Good Terms

It’s all over, it’s all done, although it used to be fun
We’re alright, alright? It just wasn't meant to be the one
For sure, it’s sad, at first I thought we weren’t that bad
But you know, and I know, we weren’t going anywhere like that
It feels so good to say “I give up”
It feels so good to show your palms
And even though I may regret it
It’s feels so good to move on
Everybody wants to start a band
Until it’s time to pick up the music
Rehearsals fall apart in your hand
You make a schedule but never use it
Oh, it falls apart so smoothly
We’re on good terms, I hope, eventually we will learn to cope
And hey, maybe, one day we can reunite again
I think it’s time, that I should go on my way
So yeah, goodbye, I won't get nowhere if I stay

No Connection

He feels the weight of his arms on his shoulders
The air conditioner plays with his hair
And he feels the air in the house getting colder
But there's no one there to care
And time passes in five minute increments
In sleep or on a screen, you can dream, you can dream
But time to glow has come around, with your feet left on the ground
Moth and fire, friendly heat, on the side of the street
But with no resounding sound, no connection to be found
He never go downtown anymore
Sometimes he feel nauseous just looking out his own front door
There’s a 20 minute walk to the store and back
And it’s a 5 minute ride if I ever get a heart attack
And time passes in five second increments

Hear You Breathe

My tongue has frozen solid, though I know every word of this song
That we used to sing along
And the chill spreads deeper every mile, and I want to put a coat on
Every time you say “when I’m gone”
And I know it hurts to speak of something so frightening as leaving
So don’t spend your energy trying to bleed poetry
Swan songs are always the hardest to sing
I don’t want to bring the future into a spot that I can see
I just want some time to sleep with everything hidden from me
I don’t want to feel like like every second now is worth more than what it used to be
You don’t need to talk, I only want to hear you breathe
there are some words that I would say, if I was a little stronger
Though I don’t have much time to ponder
if somehow I could, Id make this road, a couple hundred miles longer,
But I know we both have to be somewhere

'Til the Fuel Runs Out

I can’t just leave it behind
I will never leave it behind
And though it melts away, I will hold it tight
I can’t just leave it behind
I will huddle with the fire 'til the fuel runs out

Eventually

I hope the universe is as messed up as we thought it was
A hundred years ago
But how can you dream of meeting aliens
When there’s people in your class you still don’t know
You can’t just wait for an eventually
