Scene's set And the writings on the wall Who's left When the final curtain falls Dissent is in the tone Your friends are on the phone Leave me alone (hangs in the air like cheap cologne) Didn't do this Didn't do that No I can't even keep track Out of gas No, no Just can't relax Oh, so eratic And i just can't stand it Malaprops and forget me nots But it always ends the same It doesn't matter You already forgot Give it time Tell me the context I've got the rest I'll go blind before I forget this concept

Tell me one more time, was it your reason not the rhyme You're the one peekin' through my cheap Venetian blinds I don't wanna stay Label up on the wall, too small to read Something disingenuous for all to see I don't wanna stay Forget your feelings Forgo your dealings Preaching and preaching and turning back around I know, too slow I've forgotten more things than you'll ever know And although not that long ago I was having trouble with tomorrow I don't wanna stay Forget your feelings Forgo your dealings Preaching and preaching and turning back around I know, too slow (Tell me one more time, was it your reason not the rhyme) Tell me one more time, was it your reason not the rhyme You're the one peekin' through my cheap Venetian blinds credits

Mark it up All exaltation Waking up Still stuck in crowded isolation I'll be down For whatever when you're ready Turn around All these people cause a headache But you're still down I'd rather not see the sun Matter of fact Not anyone Brain on empty Simply put i work best this way Hard to replay memories when they're not there in the first place Keep your voice down They can't find us here We can hide out Until the coast is clear We can disappear Mark it down All indignation What do you expect from me with this reputation Mark it up All exaltation Waking up Still stuck in crowded isolation

Oh what a time to be alive All it cost me was a buck, a nickel, and a dime Cherry Dynamite I Just had to try Left me pie-eyed on a work night Cherry dyna my-oh-my Paranoid in the car on the drive home Two blunts to the face made my mind soar I've been thinking lately That this shit will drive me crazy But c'mon man can you blame me When I see a name like Cherry Dynamite I Just had to try Left me pie-eyed on a work night Cherry dyna my-oh-my Ease back and just let go We've had enough serotonin when we say so Cherry Dynamite I Just had to try Left me pie-eyed on a work night Cherry dyna my-oh-my

What a life to live What a life to lead This is a casting call for those who (want to be someone) Take your ticket get in line Waiting for them to call out for me (they won't be sorry) Two seats down says he's guaranteed The hatchback castaway at the corner of 28th and main Rejection is to blame for why you'll never know his name Waiting tables will never be his claim to fame What a life to live What a life to lead She was a beauty queen and she (was only 19) Tryin hard to get by Maybe this life she'd give it a try (time passing by) No disappointment would be a surprise Cold feet and Sore knees and Feeding off of dreams in movies We're just try'n to fit the motif She made her way down to the corner of 28th and Main She knows things will never be the same Workin' awful hard for the fame What a life to live What a life to lead Carving out a living running Try'n to make the borderline Something better must be coming They can't let it be a waste of time I've got your back if you've got mine We can make it out sometime

Shake it and just beat the devil out of it Let's have them run the colors across the screen Think about shape and form and how you want this to be It doesn't scream at you it just sits there yawning Don't over do it Keep it non-descript Forcing rhetoric Just enough to stain the canvas Just blend it all together Play these back and forth whenever

Lay Awake 03:18
Let me be the one What is yet to come When it's only the worst of your fears Leaving you no more than just enough to hear We're gonna get through this We're gonna get through this I'll try not to lose it But i'm only human Lay awake Lay awake for days Lingering on past mistakes It means nothing now Cause I'm always late
9.
Fears 03:47
I feel like a dog-eared dollar bill I know I don't look the part, but my value is real So come on now Did you really think that could take me down? My brain is aching So painstakingly mistaking The night before keeps knocking And my head weeps from the constant stalking I fear that by the time I figure all of this shit out I'll be too old to do anything about it It's just another one of those nights I don't know who's house I'm in, but it's nice All my friends live out of their cars Gutter chic stars in their own right But, finding it rather hard to sleep at night Let me know, let me know If you've got any answers Cause the night before keeps knocking But, I'm more afraid of the talk, not the "talking"
10.
It's always gotta be something Waste away the days with nothing Tell me twice I'll be fine Don't waste my time I don't wanna be the the one to tell you I won't ever be living any way but askew Save it for the smoke you blew She leaves the way she came Still wanting me to change I don't think things will ever be a different way Oh I gotta be honest It's just never the way we wanted Too few glasses of wine Or maybe you got shorted a line I don't wanna tell you Let alone with the way you fall on queue Get out your perfume for the smoke you blew She leaves the way she came Still wanting me to change I don't think things will ever be a different way She's got some time, maybe But I'll never make that climb, ladies Save it save it save me
