Language Is A Bore

Same old goddamn thing every time I come home
Gotta say the right words just to get yrself a bone
Language is a bore
Now you got no money and gotta ride on the Septa
You ask the driver "Please!" but he just won't let ya
Language is a bore
He puts on a show when there's nowhere else to go
He puts on a show when there's nowhere else to go
Now yr saving the environment to make a dollar
But nobody cares because you don't know to holler
Language is a whore
Now yr talking with a chick and yr getting a sip
She says "i'll take you home if you don't open those lips"
Language is a sore

Growing Split

In the distance
I see the dawn of new repentance
When the children come alive
It is a sequence
Character recognized allegiance
That keeps me intertwined
Wahoo Wahoo Wah
How can I focus
On my job I know it's bogus
But the moneys always there
Cause it's a new day
You gotta work to play this new way
You gotta sneak in with a grin
But I don't want to do this
Don't want to go through this
Makes me feel neglected
Like I'm trying to get noticed
Wahoo Wahoo Wah
So tomorrow
I'll save the change I always borrow
Vanish without a trace
I swear I'll separate
And without living off the welfare state
I'll build a castle in my hand
Cause I don't want to do this
Don't want to go through this
Makes me feel neglected
Like I'm trying to get noticed
Wahoo Wahoo Wah

The Natural Sounds
05:49

There's this place that I should not go
And there's this drawing on my fridge that I should not show
I know
And there's this person that I want to be
And then there's this other person that you don't want to see
I know
And these arrangements that I used to make
I used take em and then shake em til they were not afraid
I know
And it all scares the shit out of me
When there's this phony in the mirror and he's fucking with me
I know
Don't do it, don't let me in
He's not me and I'm not your friend
You shouldn't lie if it makes you strange
You shouldn't talk if you don't mean what you say
The way it is today
Is just the same, but not the same as yesterday
And I'll stick around
And I won't hate all the natural sounds
I should have dropped out in 2002
I should have wandered the country and just saw it all through
I know
I should have left it all behind
I should have buried the past until my thoughts went blind
I know
But there's this path that I'm stuck on right now
If I don't follow it through I'll work it nohow
I know
And it all scares the shit out of me
When there's this phony in the mirror and he's fucking with me
I know
Don't do it, don't let me in
He's not me and I'm not your friend
You shouldn't lie if it makes you strange
You shouldn't talk if you don't mean what you say
The way it is today
Is just the same, but not the same as yesterday
And I'll stick around
And I won't hate all the natural sounds
The natural sounds

Too Far Gone
05:19

Don’t know what's gonna happen to me
Time went so fast that I could barely see
All the trials and troubles that you saw me through
I can’t believe I’d find anyone new
Cause my ship don’t sail when you’re not around
And the music i play it just drowns me out
And I imagine a time before I knew your face
And then I freeze in the fold and then I hide my face
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I imagine us in a little beach shack
The Atlantic in front and Puerto Rico in back
You and me and some nowhere jobs
A little food and some booze, and then avoiding the cops
And every year we’d go somewhere else
Til we found a country where we’d build a house
And we’d be 21 til our teeth fell out
And find some IV pharmies no one's heard about
Cause I’m too far gone to lose you
And I hope that don’t bring you down, baby
Or I’ll jump up and down and spin all around
Til the cops come arrest me and put me in the ground
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
(repeat)

The Coming
03:37
|

|
When I come up it takes some will
To keep the dust off of the sill
To fall asleep and to let go
It’s like a ghost inside my head
Gotta keep it locked under a lid
I let it out to lead me home
The deep black of a northern lake
Brings me more than I can shake
To keep this puzzle from falling apart
It’s all too soon to make sense
These northern woods are just too dense
Can’t see the stars to lead me home
The coming, becoming
The coming, becoming
I need to be where I can't breathe
I gotta hear what I’m supposed to see
In that attic of my past
Bite my lip and blink my eyes
The saddest songs are lullabies
Drift my mind out to the sea
The Coming, becoming
The Coming, becoming

Don't Need No Day
04:01

Tonight its just all talk
Of what you know and what you got
With the crooked jaw
The grinding teeth and desperate thoughts
Now I'm getting up quick and never falling asleep
Gonna ride right down the mountain with the lightning heat
Gonna rip up the moon with the snow in my teeth
Gonna rip up the moon with the snow in my teeth
And then we'll talk, talk, talk
To the nervous bond thats burning up in our hearts
Spent all the money, but its ok
Staring at the sun through the window shades
Still feels like night and I'm insane
Still feels like night and I'm insane
We don't need no, need no, need no day!

Either Way

I wish the breeze
Could wander through me
And make my bones believe
In what they want to be
If you don't run away from today
You won't want to stray anyway
If you don't run away from today
You won't fall back into your old ways
Hey, don't let it ruin your day
Cause hey, its a waste of time either way
I found out
When I was 16
You don't know what you mean
You don't know what you mean
If you don't run away from today
You won't want to stray anyway
If you don't run away from today
You won't fall back into your old ways
Don't let it ruin your day
Don't let it ruin your day
Hey, don't let it ruin your day
Cause hey, it's a waste of time either way

Big Boy Dreams
05:13

We were just kids then
Being new and trying things
And the parents, they would hold our knees
As we tried to see above the trees
And I worried about such little things
That would hang over me until Christmas Eve
Man, no one wants to be a dead 10 year old
I just wanna be on MTV
Now i've shattered all my big boy dreams
Now I've shattered all my big boy dreams
My dreams
