White socks
Dirty checkered Vans
The whole future’s
In my hands
I’m lookin’ out
Over city lands
Lookin’ for somethin’
I can stand
I can’t stand
Another thought of you
It’s been a year
Or maybe two
But who’s countin’?
I’m certainly not
Trying to
Gotta focus on
What I gotta do
Cracks in the sidewalk
Piss on the pavement
I skate in the bike lane
That’s free transportation
Crying cat sirens
Are wailing all night
But that’s alright
It’s just the city life
Broken bottle
Shattered glass
Creature yells
From the overpass
Some gibberish
I can’t understand
Warranting a passin’ glance
I wonder if
They had a chance
I hear
Loud, loud, loud, loud, loud
From the
Crowd, crowd, crowd, crowd, crowd
Takin’ the Blue Line
Halsted to Jackson
7 Eleven midnight snackin’
See somethin’ shitty
Delay the reaction
There’s no question
I’m not asking

Slither
04:17
|

|
Took it with her
But i’m not bitter
Somethin’ hit her
Pull the trigger
And the rug out
Nothin’ was now
Don’t complain out loud
Shut my own mouth
Slither
And wither away
Was there nothing he could
Do to make her stay?
Disconnected
Unaffected
Misdirected
Second guessin’
Ya peel back the paper
Layer by layer
The truth comes out later
Though I’m a good faker
Slither
And wither away
Was there nothing he could
Do to make her stay?
And the feeling
The feeling’s slippin’ away

Rat Race
03:30
|
|||
|
Walk across this world I’ve found
Myself in and I don’t know how
Worry worry is all I do
If it’s not that
I’m thinkin’ bout you
Oh what a waste of
Precious time and space
I quit the race
Can’t keep with these rats’ pace
Rather write a simple song
Pluck some chords and sing along
Walk a trail I never walked
Speak some words that I
Never talked
And hope and pray
Someday I’ll shift my gaze
From other’s thoughts
Away from the rat race
Rat race
Racing for what
A trophy to smudge?
Something that just
Doesn’t cut it
For me anymore
Walk across this world I’ve found
Myself in and I don’t know how
Worry worry is all I do
If it’s not that
I’m thinking bout you
Oh what a waste of
Precious time and space
I quit the race
Can’t keep with these rats’ pace
Rat race
Racing for death
Wasting your breath
Casting your bets
Don’t forget that
There’s no keeping score

Zoo
03:59
|

|
Thought it through
Many times before
Why need two
If one is more
Somethin’ lewd?
Am I just bored?
Life’s a zoo
Life’s a zoo
Done the math
Equation mind
Nothin’ adds
Up to why
I am here
Why I die
Pseudo-wise
Personified
I’m waitin’ on a
New pursuit
Quick walkin’
Rocks in my shoes
Stagnatin’ in the
“What if” blues
Tap the glass
Life’s a zoo
I’ve been swirlin’ around
Can’t tell left from right
All the things
I bought into
Sold last night

Quench

Stress all day
Losin’ life
Quench my thirst
For an open mind
No I won’t
Grow tired
Sippin’ electrolytes

Taxidermy
04:36
|
|||
|
I’m a pair of
Alligator skin boots
A rabbit’s foot
Dangling from your belt loop
Tinted shades
Staring at the moon
What’s the use
Of being transparent
When all I’ve really learned
Is no one’s transparent
Dusk ‘till dawn
Hiding from the truth
Taxidermy
Say it for me
Cause i’m too busy
To say it for myself
Actions echo loud
Words cut deep
But with good luck in pocket
I turn my cheek
I’d much rather
Ignore the bleak
The superficial
Is starting to suit me
Taxidermy
Say it for me
Cause i’m too busy
To say it for myself

Anyways
03:05

Look at the lights
How they're blinkin'
Dropped your shoes
In the lake
Now they're sinkin'
But you let 'em drown
Lost in wave sounds
There's nothin' quite like
The feel of the water
I'm gettin' older
Continuin' to falter
Endless learnin'
Constantly churnin'
Lookin' all around
I can see the connection
And I think I've finally found
Some sort of direction
So I'll make a mental note
Not to overthink
My days
But it happens
Anyways
It's times like these where
I just have to close my
Eyes and breathe in
Oxygen to survive
Skip the analysis
Cause I
Really don't know shit
And
If that's the case
Then why do
I still worry
I'm doing nothin' yet
Always in a hurry
On the couch
At your house
I'll take a step back
Try to live in the present
And hopefully by then
I'll have learned my lesson
That there's no decisions
I can ever make for you
And that's okay
But I try to anyways

Mt Fuji
03:08

Riddle me this
Why am I so pissed
I moved to the city
Looking for nitty gritty
And I certainly found it
Found some friends as well
If they hate me
Well I can’t tell
Things are looking swell
Still I’m craving
Some different smells
Than Chi
Think I’ll go to
Mt Fuji
Or some place like that
Prove to me
I’d wanna come back
Big city
Tends to distract my mind
From nature my own kind
Grass patch at the park
Moonlight after dark
Spider on the train
Thunder when it rains
Mother’s growin’ vines
Through the same cracks
That break her spine
Everyday on the way
Laced feet down the street
People walk to their trees
Made of bricks and concrete
Wonder what it’s like
To live in the breeze
Mt Fuji
Or some place like that
Prove to me
I’d wanna come back
Big city
Tends to distract my mind
From nature my own kind

White Noise
02:17
|
|||
|
The wind is blowin’
The once still grass
Despite that
I’m rowin’
Through time
Wonder why
Hope I find
Peace of mind
So stop
My thoughts
Seems to be
No matter what I do
Nothin’ works
It’s no use
So which shoulder
Do I choose?
Lucifer or
The white-winged prude?
White noise
I need some white noise
To distract
From the fact
You’re never comin’ back
White noise
I need some white noise
Gettin’ stoned
All alone
By the phone
