The Vagaries
03:36

Maybe I'd do better with a different view
Been staring out this window since who knows when
Maybe it's the fault of this tiny room
I can tell right now that this ain't my zen
I'm just sitting here
Head in my cold hands
Vagaries just have to wait
It was a series of mixed metaphors, and a slow clap
It was more about the territory, than it ever was about the map
I’ve never burned a bridge that, didn't need to fry
Maybe I'd do better in a different town
Someplace the strangers don't look the same
Maybe if I didn't have that kind of face
That says leave me alone don't want to play your game
I'm still sitting here
Head in my cold hands
Vagaries just will not wait
It was a meek appropriation of, our simple symmetry
A thin, jejune codex of, our coarse depravity
I've looked into it and, I'll be just fine
Maybe if I cared less I could to get along
I've heard experience is as good as wealth
It'd be so much simpler if I wasn't wrong
Didn't need you to do it, I did it myself
I'll be sitting here
Head in my cold hands
Vagaries up in the air

The Final Me & You
04:57
|
|||
It's a dull old town without you
Gotta drink alone these days
I guess that I could call you
But what would I say?
Heard you started up your new life
As far away as you could get
You're feeling free and happy
Now that, you're rid of me, I bet
Some say love is a miracle
Our destiny, our fate
I say love's an old photograph
But the color never fades
I never wanted to be the guy
To come between you and your pride
And I never wanted to be the one
To say goodbye in the dead of night
There was a story in the paper
Reminded me of you
Had my chance to make it right
But what did I do?
This routine's like a sideshow
Gets harder everyday
I hope I learn my lesson
Before they chump me in the clay
They say all hearts are broken
And I suppose that's true
It didn't make it easier
The final, the final me and you
And I never wanted to be the guy
To come between you and your pride
And I never wanted to be the one
To say goodbye in the dead of night

Stick Around A While [E]
03:36
|
|||
I know that someday
You’ll probably walk away
And you’re never gonna be so gone
And as of right now
We get along somehow
But you look at me like I’m carrion
Don’t you know, babe, you’re something to see
But you ain’t gonna make me cry
And if you want to make a meal out of me
You’re gonna have to stick around awhile
So, here’s the lowdown
I’m not about to drown
We both knew where this was going
But I’ll give you a chance
To spin some romance
Between all that shade you’re throwing
Don’t you know, babe, you’re acting genteel
Like you think you don’t need to try
But if you want to get to the real
You’re gonna have to stick around awhile
I’m not trying to say
Things should go my way
Honest, babe, not trying to fuck with you
You got a choice to make
I don’t care what it takes
But do it quick, I got other shit to do
Don’t you know, babe, we all get that itch
But some of us don’t think we need to lie
You should have know that this was the hitch
You’re gonna have to stick around awhile

If You Don't Mind
03:28
|

“We can’t go on like this.”
“It's too late to turn back now.”
I focused on the road
As if that made sense somehow
Our reckless situations and self-recriminations
Ought to do us proud
The subtle implications of what we’re doing right now
Really ought to leave no doubt
We’re all turning on a circle that's coming back around
We build it up and then we tear it down
We hardly made a sound then we’re in the ground
If you don’t mind, would you drive for a while
If we’re gonna end the war
I think we better do it now
Too focused on results
Only goes as far as we allow
Our subtle machinations and cruel manipulations
While we try to live out loud
Giving in to delusions, right now is
Asking more than we have vowed
We’re all turning on a circle that's coming back around
We build it up and then we tear it down
We hardly made a sound then we’re in the ground
If you don’t mind, would you drive for a while
“We can’t go on like this.”
“It's too late to turn back now.”

Should Have Let Her Know
03:11
|
|||
On the table
In a long note
She explains
All the reasons she’s had
All the ways
She felt like she was dead
All the times
Your Ignored her
And all you see
From the front porch
The cab she rides in
Drives away
With the beating of your heart
In a daze
As your future falls apart
All the times
You said you loved her
Were probably true
On the table
In a long note
She explains
How deeply she cared
All the ways
She got as close as she dared
All the times
She showed you
That she loved you
Should have let her know

New Way To Feel
02:03
|
|||
Heard they got a new way to feel
Is it really the big deal
They made it out to be, but
It’s free with every purchase, now
And I really don’t know how they
Can afford to give it away for free
But it’s gonna be the new thing
Everybody gotta have one
Gonna need to stand in line
To get me the black one
Better get one quick while
The supplies last
They’ll repeat the number
At the end of this broadcast
Heard they got a new way to feel
Makes it hard to know what’s real
And no one seems to care, but
They know that they got us now
And I really don’t know how
We’ll have to pay to upgrade the software
But it’s gonna be the new thing
Everybody gotta have one
Gonna have to stand in line
To get me the black one
Better get one quick while
The supplies last
They’ll repeat the number
At the end of this broadcast

Your Heart [E]
02:18
|
|||
Here I sit alone
More than half my life gone by
I listened to my heart is why, I’m here
I’m trying to be all circumspect
I have the time to reflect
When I’m speaking to the mirror, I say
Your Heart’s a fucking Liar
What good’s it even ever been
Your Heart’s a fucking Liar
Bastard got you in this mess you’re in
I prob’ly should have known
Cuz they never tell you where love goes
While you’re shivering in the freeze
Your heart’s the one that sucks you in
Takes you down the road and back again
And watches while you bleed
Your Heart’s a fucking Liar
A monster trying to hide it’s savagery
Your Heart’s a fucking Liar
And you wear the bastard on your sleeve

Blind
01:24
|
|||
I've never been so blind
This could be my...
This could be my fault
I'm begging you for real
I'm not content to...
Not content to breathe and feel
Why has become a...
A rhetorical question
Am I missing...
Am I missing something
You're the right one
Hating all the...
Hating all the small talk
And choking on the candor
What difference does it make
What I just said
I'm making no sense
