Sleep It Off

sleeping in
i have work
but i won't buy it
until i know what it's worth
sleep all day
sunlight hangs
by my window
and it melts the snow away
it couldn't make it stay
sleep it off
with riot
don't remind me
it's either way, it's over, fry it

i put the candle out between my fingertips
did you see it? did you see it through
my bedroom window, flashing lights on both ends
yeah i saw it, did you see it too?
i wander now in parking lots
king soopers ain’t got what i want,
do you?
i pull the covers closer up to my chin
and i try my best to sleep again
but sleep will never come till i get over it
so i guess i'm staying up again
cause i’m just a slug when you get down to it
looking up downtown’s starless glow
bottom of a leaf, i’m gonna stick to it
until the city’s gutters overflow
if i don’t care about anything
who’s to care about what i think?
the radio’s gone off the air
when i sleep, why do i care
for you?

sailing hardships through broken harbors
out on the waves in the night
still the searcher must ride the dark horse
racing alone in his fright
tell me why
is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
when you're old enough to repay
but young enough to sell?
tell me lies later, come and see me
i'll be around for a while
i am lonely but you can free me
all in the way that you smile
tell me why
is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
when you're old enough to repay
but young enough to sell?

i don't tell you what to do with your life
and you don't tell me what to do with mine
the longer i waited for you
prolonging a lie
but i'm not waiting anymore
i know what i know
i don't know
now it's looking pretty grim from here
look at me and tell me with a straight face that you're sorry
and i don't wanna hear another excuse
so you can ditch your friends and leave me too
i know what i know
i don't know
i think i'm getting better, for what it's worth
and you don't get to decide how it works
based on how you feel
it's not your deal to make
and you don't hold the stakes
and yeah, you got what you want
but are you happy now?

Summer Comes Too Slowly
01:45
|
|||

i'm off again
another walk around the park
watered grass and dogs
that lead their owners back to where they are
i am still
in the same spot where i have been
it's been a year or two, i'm frozen
tell me how to live again
i'm running out
of roads and paths to make it through
without a doubt
and i am lost within you
summer comes too slowly
it's easy to get lonely
it's no one's fault but mine my life is all fucked up
summer comes too slowly
a life without a course
i guess it's better that way
i sit at the terrace
the fishermen are fishing fish
from the city pond
where you can't see the bottom of it
but there's no bites
and there's no movement in the park
it's just me and my dog
waiting for the city to get dark
but i'm not here
i sit and stare at the ipod glint
play "i swear to good you're god at this" (by reubens accomplice)
summer comes too slowly
to teach me how to know me
it's harder to sit still when you're all shook up
summer comes too slowly
when winter gets too cold
it's no one's fault but mine that it's all fucked up
it's open and shut

out of the clay
is the one you meant to hide
you stay the same
when you’re trying not to die
stay out of sight
i’ll tell you why i’m going down
and staying down
your sole reprieve is failing now
and fading out
ahhhh
the effort to make, i wish you had
it’s safe to say i know this well
what i can’t tell

got a lotta ways to make it better but
you'll end up waiting way too long
had a lotta ways to make it better but
you wound up waiting way too long
you wound up waiting way too long
i don't wanna hear it
i already know too much
it's too late to notice
when we've already turned to mush
in the water
when it's getting low
when the water glows
takes a lot of push to make you see
through the guilt, another sunless day
there's no way to right your wrongs
so i guess we'll have to find another way

what is it that makes you think
you'll get to do everything that you want to?
i'm scared to leave the house
because of all the things that i know i can't undo
it's in my head, but i won't get over it
until i sort it out
i guess i could start
with the stuff around the house
and i know it isn't
and i know it isn't worth it
what is it that makes me shake
like a cold wet dog in the arctic?
i want a relief team,
i wanna take a break
say i don't care, i think i'd still find a way
to go and freak myself out
it's starting to be something
i like to do
but i knew it wasn't
but i knew it wasn't worth it
oh
what i wanted wasn't
what i wanted wasn't worth it
write yourself new problems
tell yourself it isn't worth it

i'm running my mouth
but i don't wanna talk about it
seems to me these days
everybody’s talking way too loud
everything is quiet where i am
everything is quiet but i don't understand
lay down in the park
and we will sink into the grass
soak in all the chemicals
and pesticides and shards of glass
everything is quiet where we are
and this is the greatest peak so far
but if it's too late, well that's just my luck
and each repetition leaves marks from above

Isn’t Now

i got the call asking me if i had anything to say
you’d forgotten all the words again
what once was isn’t now
and in the concrete where i lie, i find the places i’ve been
and i know they’ll all change again
what once was isn’t now
like stepping off a bus
yr making constant noise and then stop
cause i’m the one
taking the brunt of it
whether or not you get better
so please, god, get better

voice memo with overdubs
not part of the album but it's real funky
---
i’m bored out of my mind
so i tell myself
“if it’s not worth writing about then it’s not
something to keep spinning up in your head”
move back and forth together again
at the top of the stairs
sits my best friend
he meows and he stares
but he can’t understand
the weight of this statement
(i’m about to make):
i’ve been watching top gear
i don’t even like cars!
is it too late to do
what people do in the day?
if i met with a friend,
i don’t know what i would say
“hey man, sorry i’m late
i stayed in bed until three
i was a little afraid
that you’d forget about me”
i’ve been thinking about you
but i’m feeling worse now
