Roll Over

If I think enough I bet I could judge everyone in the room that I touch just with these eyes all the while not looking all that surprised.
Don't spend much time wondering why we have nothing to say to each other just the way that we do just keep writing on the walls.
Until it's been too long and we're all sore from lying on our backs on the paler side of the grass yelling at the world "Roll over!"
So we filled a box up with complaints now that the world isn't our to tame or to take and now playing god is getting hard.
Well now, heaven's getting harder to maintain
Paired beside the layers of hell we've made
And all the intricate devils we create
Heaven's getting harder to maintain
So, let's just get out.

White cupboards with coffee stains
I like things that change while they stay the same.
The books start falling from their shelves
Onto the papers that cover the table
All lined with words that mean nothing
I see what you've read what have you written?
Mostly memoirs
And notes to self.

Metropolis

I went to the plant I got to drunk to dance so I just held my chin.
I just couldn't wait to go.
I walked outside into the night
Wondering if you were home
I called for you from across the room
But you chose to ignore
I'm awake in my dreams or so it seems
Because they're all so cold
The metropolis dies in the city lights and I take the drive home.
I tried painting the truth but the canvass was stained
Maybe if I knew I could explain
The way the sky is blue but it's always that way
Still it feels like there is more to say
There's something in the way.
So you like to run and dance, tell me all about
Those other plans, I like the way you move
Where are you coming from?
I just want to drink drink you up
I've gotten so tired of the same taste in my mouth
Every morning I wake up feeding somebody else
But tell me who are you?
And what's it like to be so beside yourself even with company
Do you whisper through the doors the secrets that you keep
Written on the walls where your memories creep?
So you like to run and dance, tell me all about
Those other plans, I like the way you move
What are you running from?
I just want to drink.

Now you've got the plan
It's all in your hands
What are you waiting for?
Love, money, luck,
Someone to show you the way?
After your time is up will waiting for these have been enough?
When you no longer feel love,
After your money's all gone,
Just when you've fallen out of luck
Will waiting for these have been enough?
Tell me once again,
Tell me please my friend,
What are you waiting for?

Other Half

What if we are our other halves?
We've all got one leg longer than the other,
Can only grow hair on that mole on one side.
Could it really mean that we're complete?
When we've all been feeling so lonely
Being this full of ourselves
If you see a piece you'd like to take from me
I could shed, I could use your help.
I feel the way I am because I've been living the way that I do
In this constant state of flux where i am only certain of the change
So change me...
When it's time for you to just get out
Will you get out of here and go somewhere else
Tell me where
Because it's time for you to figure it out
Are you going to be yourself? Or somebody else?
Don't tell me who.
We're all just looking to leave our marks
But no, not me I've been searching to return with one
If there's nothing to say I can sure talk a lot
I know you'd like to hear it from me
Because I've got it all figured out,
Now watch me do.
When it's time for you to just get out
Will you get out of here and go somewhere else
Tell me where
Because it's time for you to figure it out
Are you going to be yourself? Or somebody else?
Don't tell me who

All Along
02:36

Laughter quarrels with the conscience of a stranger walking home, Preparing for domestic downs, or glories
The excitement of others tends to bore me.
So, I stare at the wall until I feel something else creeping on,
Until, I see something for the very first time
Until, I see something that has been there all along.
All along and along.
How long's it been?
