Books End 04:35
God he must be feeling pretty strange Five hundred miles in the rain He got on a Honda and rode across three states To Allegheny - Verona, PA He smoked as he stood out front And he waited for her to come The unreachable delusions of romantic memory Had embodied itself in his company And he knew that this ride would be his last It was the final solution anyhow He wants to tell you that he's only made of kindling Once he catches he burns up quickly

It's hell but I need it bad I gotta turn back to the nine to five I'm too old to be running scared I'm gonna work until my sweat runs dry Cause I'm gone, long gone - never gonna hit it again I'm gone, long gone - taken by the wolves on the mend I still got it on my mind these days find me on Atlantic and I'll be in a haze I'll pop em quick and pass out for a bit, get to work feelin like just enough shit Cause I'm faded and that's jaded but I've done it and I'll do it again Aw man, the movies are more fun to watch than to be something that you're living in I hate to say that I'm only one I hate to say that I'm the one

I came across in chaos time With mindless heart in stunted mind Inside your bed with grips on heat Under this black dawn canopy And what I thought was just a scheme Adjusting every true belief Til I get gone These see through nights have lost their charm Transparent highs now just do harm I lay in the valleys of your chest The safest place I've ever slept My pretty smile hangs on the ground Confusing all your precious sounds Till I get gone I think I'll fade out for a while Yeah I think I'll fade out for a while I'll try my best to wear a smile I'll try my best to wear a smile I'm going down way outta town I'm going down way outta town Til I get gone

Colombia 06:27
I'm coming back to you no matter the weather No matter the chatter or what's been tethered Cause it's time that you grow younger Find a different scene, different country, different world When I get it straight you'll be at my every word Yeah you'll trail behind me like the highest of lords Cause it's time that you grow out your hair And let it learn to hang where it wants to where it should All these blacked out highways All this bullshit talkin All this endless barkin in my head When I get my money I'm gonna figure it out Gonna buy me a car I'm gonna drive it around Cause it's time that we go down To South America, Colombia, Peru All these blacked out highways All this bullshit talkin All this endless barkin in my head

Who'd have guessed your son? Does he think he's the only lonely? Drawing designs with the gun And follow suit with the sleeping allies Well can you get that stoned? Can you run it through the wires refracted? Keep the silence in the moan And Listen with the Antenna retracted They'd never guessed your name It always ends just the same way In the fuzz plush white Yeah in the the circuits hums drone exactly Like the wind on the sea Like the wind on the sea Now yr dancing with the dust As you skate upon the rust so lightly Wondering who could you trust Wondering who could you trust When they cross out your name They cross em all out just the same way Yeah you wanna be a searcher God's only sigh You cross the desert with a whisper A navigator in the night sky You keep a gun on the saddle With one eye on the sky You cross the desert with a whisper A navigator in the night sky You'll never get that stoned

EM 06:38
I gotta leave that dull caspule that blurs this calendar view Cause there's no night and no day - a blank wave and it won't stop rolling through And those tides won't quit, you better learn that quick and b-line out Yeah she's gonna love you down, she's gonna love you right into the ground And so you'll leave forever Forever, forever, forever til it's gone And now alone at sea you see that big black truth all around And there's an eye in the sky, it won't blink and it won't stop staring you down Now you better think fast kid, it's too late to turn that ship around And that voice in your head, you should know it's all that you've got left. And so you'll leave forever Forever, forever, forever til it's gone

Left this town like I'm the only one Gonna make some quick money, gonna get things done I can cut any line i'm on I can stay on point with this dream I'm on I can't fade, it's too late Lots of things I loved I went and burned off the page It's shitty, yr so pretty On a death-trip crusin to Nightmare City I'm night-walkin, got neon thoughts Tokyo dreams on a psychic course Just one road left to take It's the BQE to the end of the page I don't know where I'll go Gotta find some place where I can keep up the glow It's such a pitty, I'm so pretty On a death-trip cruisin to Nightmare City

Rain Delay 05:45
Rain falls down on my front porch I count the minutes 'til my feet hit the floor The mailman drops me a note in the door That I don't want to read As days go by in this frozen embrace Our foolish hearts slowly turn into clay To be adjoined because they can't walk away From their new blood Maybe time spent under the stars Is just as bad as these blurs that I paint in the bars Cause even my memory as the kind of ideals That will get me trashed It's all my time and even still I wouldn't walk out even if I had the will I'd rather ride a train straight into Hell Than be alone to dwell You know I give my time so my mind ain't strange And I give my tongue so you can speak what it say And I want you to know where I'm coming from And I want you to know where I am Cause if you don't know where I'm coming from Then where i is? Every night and every day Is just the same as yesterday The sun comes up then it goes away It's all the same
