BFDNE

I should have learned to assimilate
Lower my voice and change my gait
I’ve been led the wrong way
I don’t know how to pay attention
I levelled up the wrong stats from the start
It seems everyone around has got an extra heart
And my futile pursuit feels like showing up in fursuit
To the Republican National Convention
And still I stay, I can’t change my own way
I need someone to fill the BFDNE
But still I pray it’ll happen someday
It all depends on what I’m willing to believe
And I know we all need to start sometime
But I still can’t stand the taste of wine
Everybody’s growing up
But nothing’s showing up around me
Maybe I’m too frightened to make a mistake
Or maybe I think it’s a little too late
I guess I’ll wait until self-hate
Outweighs my inactivity
And still I stay, I can’t change my own way
I need someone to fill the BFDNE
But still I pray it’ll happen someday
It all depends on what I’m willing to believe
It’s nobody’s fault but me

Dreamless

It’s been a long few months or so, as you and I both know
And I hope this letter and this money will find you well
Believe me when I say that we’ve tried everything
But the situation isn’t changing as far as I can tell
I used to dream of owning a grocery store
Picture our daughter in the glass display
The only wish I have now is you being here with me
Barely enough to get me through the day
But even sleep is dreamless without you
A river was diverted through our house
Violent rapids between me and you
And if you're worried about me, well
I’m worried about you too
I used to dream of owning a grocery store
Now I’m just lucky that I still have a job that pays
The only wish I have now is you being here with me
Barely enough to get me through the day
But even sleep is dreamless without you

The Duel

She smiled at me and I caught my breath
It would not be long until we would fight
Her warmth ate at my confidence
Until I no longer was so sure I would win
But still I knew that the universe would aid me
Keep me alive to raise my grandchildren
I had a painting that needed to be finished
I had a dinner that I needed to get to
So I charged at her
My howl dispersing into the air
Her fluorescent shine blinded my eyes
Her chemical smell sickened me to nausea
Her terrible song destroyed my eardrums
Her billowing breath ripped out my greying hair
I jumped at death shoulder first
She was a brick wall

Do You Think
01:30

Do you think it’s kinda sad?
That you’re the only person that I’ve ever had
Do you think that it’s that bad?
At what point can you confirm I’m going mad
So won’t you hold me until the sunset
We’ll watch it fall, we’ll watch it fall
And I will promise to be your headrest
Through it all, we’ll watch it fall
You and I

It's Absurd!

When Camus said all our thoughts were anthropomorphic, I felt that
But he probably wasn’t thinking about Night in the Woods
I could live to the point of tears, but still I would have my fears
And living while crying and frightened isn’t living very good
I wonder if I’ll get anything done before tomorrow
I wonder if I’ll get anything done before I hit 21
I wonder if what I do will be remembered in time
How will I keep my footprints in the sun?
Triassic cuddles fossilized in stone
Will you make my den a home?
Shrimp o vision with an extra cone
The boys on the subway when I’m walking home alone
Centurion helmets in half time
Roman vessels and old wine
When there’s nothing left
When there’s nothing left
I wonder if I’m going to sleep before tomorrow
I wonder if I’m going to live past 21
I wonder if what I do will be remembered in time
How will I keep my footprints in the sun?

The Scene
04:24

Am I worrying too much or do I worry enough?
I really just hope that I’m not coming off too rough, or out of touch, to you guys
Cause I really dig the things that you do
And you know sometimes I like to do those sorts of things too so maybe
I’ve been on the sidelines for so much time
Everybody knows each others names, maybe soon they’ll know mine
Before that happens, I can only dream
But it might be time for me to join the scene
I am pleased to announce that I am not so comfortable, but what can i do
I found your band it was written on a bathroom stall at the DIY venue
I don’t know what to say over all this noise, no, I don’t know what to say at at all
So maybe It’s better if I don’t say anything or, i don’t know
