Everywhere

I felt my friend’s look upon my face
I was standing there, had his look there
My brother who I’ve known since I was five
Kinda sweet we’re both alive
I felt him there, I feel him everywhere
She looked better as a woman than she did as a kid
Her arms were brown and giving and now we both forgive
The lies that led us here to stand up on this bridge
She held me there, she holds me everywhere
Some of you I’ll see again, some of you I’ll not
But as long as you remember nothing is forgot
We carry pain religiously — we tarry at the edge
But plunging in is what we do when we say we've got a friend
I saw my friend’s face in the morning light
We both agreed we were doing alright
Wild dogs and kids running in the grass,
Kinda sad to know this all will pass
I felt him there, I feel him everywhere
She knew it before me, as she often did
Like water through my fingers the feeling slid
Down to open rivers flowing out to sea
She left me there, she leaves me everywhere
Some of you I’ll see again, some of you I’ll not
But as long as you remember nothing is forgot
We struggle for an epiphany with each and every breath
But what’s it for when we feel no more and we tremble before death?
I felt it there, I feel it everywhere

Girls Annoy Me
03:30
|

Girls annoy me, they destroy me
When they don’t get back in touch
Follow my schedule, do it on my time
Act with reason act with rhyme
I’m happy to have these things I have
Books and CDs, movies and LPs
Girls annoy me
Joy eludes me, what’s the reason
Could it be about my cock?
And like a monk I say prayer,
I just want to slay and dip
Will I need that money another day?
Is every buck I spend money thrown away?
Joy annoys me
So what is left? tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
So what is left? tick tock tick tock tick tock tick —
I can’t deny my unhappy feeling
Like an onion cutting up I’m crying while my skin is ever-peeling
Life annoys me, drop the big one
Like a fart from Uncle Sam
And in the wasteland, zero people
And I can catch my breath cuz I’m good and dead
And in the ether nothing annoys me
Cuz all of that I’ve hated is good and gone
And with these last words: girls annoy me
But it’s nothing too specific, I’m just incel

My Little Secret
02:49
|
|||
She's my little secret
Won't tell about her yet
I'll tell the world in time
But for now she's just mine
My little secret, the things she does...
But I've been burned before
— Don't wanna get hurt
My secret could implode
and everyone would know
So everybody
Cool your jets
I'm still discovering
My little secret
She don't got nowhere to go when she's with me
She helps to find my glasses when I can't see
But can she detect, when she's far away
That I so dread her leaving, which she just may
My little secret
I’ll keep her yet

Four 40s and the Truth
04:34

Four 40s and the truth
A piece of ass in cowboy boots
A studded belt through her loops
The feral call of hungry youth
I tip to her my cowboy hat
She said to me, I like 'em fat
We went to dance and that was that
We drank 'em 40s and had a chat
Well, lace your honey, tip ‘em back
Sit your butt up in my lap
Send her roses and all of that crap
And if there's sweat in it, let it sweat
But if regret's in it, don’t say a word to me about that
Curlicue, she spun her yarn
She lived on edge in a run-down barn
Her life a sock she always had to darn
But baby, no, life ain’t no riddle
Just put your arm around my middle
And kiss my neck to that wild, screeching fiddle
Well, lace your honey, sip the sap
Put your paw in that there trap
Sing me fancies and all of that crap
And if there's sweat in it, let it sweat
But if regret's in it, don’t say a word to me about that
Yes’m, I drive cars so fast
Cuz nothing good is built to last
We felt the town in darkness careening past
"Why's it that we're leaving town?
Don't you like my friends around?"
I told her no, t'was time to go
Last song’s The Beach Boy’s “Kokomo”
Well, life is just a state of mind
Hope you like it like I like mine
Four 40s and the truth —
Slip on out of your cowboy boots!

Steps
04:32
|

When I’m happy, things are at their worst
I know that I’m in trouble when I feel like I might burst
When in the moment time is time gone past
So heavy is the notion that this happiness won't last
And yes indeed, I leave your arms
With such despair it does me harm
At night, I curse the devil moon
That rock up in the heavens who has rocked me to my doom
I am so eager, that I must confess
That if the moon is full of blood it pulls me to duress
Seems to me, I’ve run afoul
Of wicked tides that make me howl
And I can’t rely on my feet
So I always blame ‘em, so I always blame ‘em
And they never do leave
So I always take ‘em, I have to take ‘em with me
Here and there and I take myself everywhere
Making each step this year lead me here
Cuts and scrapes, there’s nothing known as “fair”
I take my licks as if they’ve been delivered from the air
We don’t deserve it, the harm that’s done to man
Well, if we don’t deserve it god is lacking any plan
So yes it’s true: pain is a map
Step by step it leads me back
And I can’t rely on my feet
So I always blame ‘em, so I always blame ‘em
And they never do leave
So I always take ‘em, I have to take ‘em with me
Here and there and I take myself everywhere
Making each step this year lead me here

Hopeful, TX
02:43
|

Hopeful, Texas — the town of my dreams
Is so much further than it seems
The play of light on a long dead screen
Just winks at nothing, however it gleams
And ever since her eyes done glinted
My mind has had my ticket printed
As what's in store had been more than hinted
A world of pleasure to do my stint in
How much longer must I wait?
And the date on my ticket is set in the future
Where deep down in Texas I touch down as suitor
But she left me after all — she left in good humor
When I bought my ticket I thought that I knew her
Yes, in Hopeful, the joke's on me
But maybe I'll get there eventually
Or Potential, Montana or Grateful, Vermont
Destination: I'm happy — for more than a jaunt

What If I'm Wrong?
03:45
|
|||
What if I'm wrong?
Been solid for so long
But now I got this question
And all at once I’m questing
To connect with something real
And trust I'm not alone
Can I do better?
For so long I've felt so strong
But it’s been the empty gesture
Of an overactive mind
That left my soul bombarded
And a quiet mind behind
Can I go beyond?
To trust to silence as to song?
For faith I lack — I see too much
I long for blindness, and for touch
Would I wrestle with the devil
To believe to see the light?
Go past my past perceptions
On fire in the night
To question old beliefs
And do what now feels right?
Will I go beyond?
To trust to silence as to song?
For faith I lack — I see too much
I long for blindness, and for touch
To make me meek as snowy mountains
Rooted deep, not to be moved
I am free from hate cuz I know
God is only love
What if I'm wrong?
What if I'm wrong?

Lovesick
02:32
|
|||
Sitting outside with her on my mind
I'm always sick
But I'm not sick of love
Love is sick of me
Hey old tree, are you just like me?
How many of us have you seen?
Too many to count, oh, that I bet
Far too many lovesick
I go through heartbreak before my heart breaks
My heart breaks before my heart breaks
Too many to count, oh, that I bet
Far too many lovesick
What’re all these people laughing at?
I know that they must be blue
But why the hell do I question that
When I've been laughing, too?
If my heart breaks before my heart breaks
How will it feel when she tells me that we're through?
Well, it's hard rent for me
But she lives here rent free
Toss a coin into the stream
And I'm wishing always that she was here always
I'm a wishing machine
I go through heartbreak before my heart breaks
I go through heartbreak before my heart breaks
Too many to count, oh, that I bet
Far too many lovesick
Far too many lovesick...
