Poison Never Goes Away
03:30

There, I feel it coming
Boredom and despair
The kind oblivious to how
much I've had or how much
more I can expect
the pleasure must be written now
So I've been here all this time
Nothing changed and nothing done
But purpose never calls again
All these bottles tell me why
I've been feeling weak and dry
and poison never goes away
Sore
But need some more
But need some more
Escape

Here's What I Know Now
03:24

Here's what I knew then
what I know now
what I never noticed before
How did it get late
when I woke up
And the day was over and scored?
Hold on
Why can't I know it when I need to know?
Why can't I know it so I know that I know what I know when I need to know now.
I'm gonna wait till everything's done
Till everyone's gone
Till everywhere is dark
Violently, the lessons I learn
Impress upon me
That I am late for dawn

What if I Listen Now
02:53

What If I listen now
What if I stop the plow
What if I set it down
What if I understand
This is what I can stand
This is where I should land
Do anything but don’t expect results
If I live to be strong
If I live to be longer
Do anything but don’t expect their love
If I live as I want
If I wait then it’s gone
Somebody told me not to stop I saw the pain of lies in their face
And they remembered when they’d lost they didn’t want me blaming their say
I found the answer there’d been signs along the way I’ve chosen
To die of chores and
To lie to loved ones
Present myself as a rock.

Advice from an Idiot
02:31
|
|||
|
Hold on
Be strong
Ignore the pain
Soak in the rain
Imagine it's gone
Believe in
a season
when up is down
on patient ground
rewarding its own
A day flies
to join tides
to worry on
until you've found
you're happy and old

Waiting for What
03:20
|
|||
|
The underbelly isn't weak it's always been misunderstood
It holds the power for an hour hideaway, is it wrong if I stay?
Waiting. Waiting for what?
The body thinks it is a hunter so it hunts around the mind
I store the fat inside the fear inside the gut, I belong to someday.
Waiting. Waiting for what?
Turn me - Turn me around and I'll be right
For every single intuition there's a meal to ignore
The operation and the patient are at war,
I'd be wrong to obey.
Waiting. Waiting for what?
Turn me around I'll walk the road I should have been on all along
Turn me around I'll be the one I never was

I Will Take my Time
03:51
|
|||
|
Vials filled with acid in my breath
Anxiety in tremors through my chest
It’s like the time, the time I had that time
Decisions crushing airways choking lines
But I remember the pain before
And I imagine it now again
And it’s as terrible as I don’t recall it
Won’t stick in my head
Can I avoid tomorrow if I stay
Inside the tempered bottle of my ways
A waste of mind a waste of honest pain
Paralysis, obstruction and decay
I’ve never been lost inside something I know
And I will take my time
I will take your time
I’ve been following down this hole and
I remember it all too well
The coldest memories smell of fire
Flashing brightly in my head
I’ve never been lost inside something I know
I’ve never been lost inside something I own

I Will Waste Your Time
02:23
|
|||
|
Find me here alone again, I
swear I never left
time passes oddly for the recently bereft
I'll waste my time
Floorboards creak, the ceiling ripens
Tell me I'm alright
Strands of the unexpected, clinging from the night
I'll waste my time
I'll waste your time
We tell this lie
as if time flies
as if it helps
heal us to death
wasted

It Takes too Long
07:24
|
|||

Far away from summer, but it's always on your mind
And when you want to feel it, well it's holding on the line
And if you want it, if you need it, then you gotta be around it all the time
But if it's only comfort, then you prod it when you like
'cause you need me
Yeah you need me
you need me around
You got another lover, he's the first to get it right
but other times the memories they permeate the night
you put your other under cover and you hide away the pictures of delight
You brush away the curtain, and you flash another sign
'cause you need me
Yeah you need me
you need me around
Somebody told me what it takes
what it takes to feel alright
it takes too long
Far away for many, but you got it in your mind
you keep me in your wallet, for emergency or lies
but if you want it and you need it then you gotta be around it all the time
a sprinkle of the minimum to string it over fine
and you need me
yeah you need me
you need me around
Far away from summer, it may never come around
you blow your icy breath at me and freeze me to the ground
I found the hidden little corners where you didn't wanna show me to the crowd
I'll pay the tab, you lend an ear, we'll end up feeling down
'cause you need me
yeah you need me
not near, but around
