- Birthday
You called and then you missed my birthday
You've gone and left me on my own
I'm home, don't stay, it's cool anyway
It's not so bad to stay at home
Is it true that it's me?
You can say all the things you want to
But you don't need to leave if you take all this weight behind me
- Count Souvenirs
A pair of shoes
Some old reviews
That you kicked behind the door
A calling card
Is torn apart
And it's wasted on the floor
Some city scene
You're like a preteen
- Double Shadow
You're two-faced
all sideways
you're dry-eyed
and nightfly
your thin chokes
and splits spokes
you're high-staked
you're right-faked
- Dull To Pause
with every morning chore
you look around once more
so that your eyes will adjust
to all the grain and dust
all the time spent over nothing
seems like you're done
you are
- FM
Let's leave tonight
One last time
Before it gets to cold
Just one more round
In that tourist town
With another home for sale
- Hazel
The days were open lately
They went on and on
Mistakes are never likely
And colors hardly run
But now they're all mixed up
And I don't know just what I see
You're all the everything
All the lines escaping free
- In The Morning
Too young (x4)
Too young, Oh (x4)
Girl the night's not over (Oh, too young)
We're not getting older
They can chase forever
- Itchy Fingers
You're barely barely back home
Like a little fly
You're like a little fly stuck in the window
Dying to get inside
What if you do
Would you go back outside
Out where they'll crush you with a paper folded
- Last Exit
Get you through the water
Keep the new car up all night
Had you in the city
They're watching, so I'll take my time
When the lights go out
Behind the bridge, last exit
Through the highway's yellow glare
Have we been out this far?
- Parallel Lines
If you found the words, would you really say them?
Or silent through the verse
Will mumble punctuation
Remembering the line, an empty metaphor
That you savored by yourself
You're never cured
If I forgot the lines, is it easy enough to fake it?
Or do you need a moment to rememorize
- So This Is Goodbye
So this is goodbye
No need to lie
This creature of pain
Has found me again
So this is goodbye
- Teach Me How To Fight
There's some things I forget
And if it's wrong, I keep it in check
'Cause what could I do
If we go out tonight
With that blood on your shirt?
Would it taste like a brand new shirt?
'Cause I don't know
- The Reservoir
Don't be quiet,
Fools wait patiently
Stay unattached,
Young man be cruel
'Cause if all the night brings on dangerous things
Go find your playthings 'round the pool
Summer is here
- What You Do For Love
[Verse]
I guess you've wondered where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
- When No One Cares
When no one cares
and the phone never rings
the nights are endless things
you're like a child that cries
and no one heeds the crying
you're like a star that dies
and seems to keep on dying
- Work
Holes barely spent crossed T's never read
Etching away 'til the end of the day
Save up for the rest
And you'll hope for the next
Hot spill cheap thrill
You're the last of the line
And wasted your time
