tail lights smear like
lipstick on a glass
that you would drink too fast
state of your mind
forces you to ask
questions that you have
talk to me, it's no waste of energy
this girl has eyes that drive me wild
talk to me, it's no waste of energy
she paints on a smile, and says good bye
screen snowed out white
the media distracts
can we commit to facts?
try as you might
truth bends and refracts
the lies remain intact

So Long Captain Stooby

handshakes, congratulations
inspired us in some way
with your sound
don't waste imagination
write it down as she sways
on the dashboard
this time, we can take a swim
lake Michigan surrounds us
on all sides
mainstream emancipation
we traveled in van through
our own means
this life's your own
we were born to grow
sometimes life isn't nice to you
your roots have shown
we refuse to know
this old town, isn't bound to you
two speeds: fast and faster
my body thrown,
the sky where the ground was
this was a mere disaster
must've picked the wrong bull
to ride on
this life's your own
we were born to grow
sometimes life isn't nice to you
your roots have shown
we refuse to know
this old town, isn't bound to you

it's too cold inside
it's too cold outside
this fragile fabric that's on your chest
hides a heart that thinks it's best
to kill the frostbite, you light a fire
that drowns the flesh but leaves the wires
you sit like stone by frozen walls
in disbelief of it all
don't grow old inside
just grow old outside
common senses can uneven the floors
we can walk it off or sit still like a stone
either way we're always reaching or doors
all we've got to do is get rid of the walls
it's too cold inside
it's too cold outside
don't grow old inside
just grow old outside
it's like you wake up repeating dreams
we operate this big machine
at times you wake up someplace else
without a name to call yourself
how many years young do you feel?
how many young years?

i was lost
between
both beginning and the end
sound advice,
prescribed
are these the drugs they recommend?
time moves on
check the water line
we're all desperate just to breathe
wake up from
this dream
there's nobody else but me
brown eyes, blind
those curves
she's a killer at her best
ideas strike
your mind
like a bullet in your head
tight rope taut
gives way
are those scissors in your hand?
let go of
your fear
of the impact when you land
words amalgamate
plans you orchestrate
this world has to change
can't keep up this way

Modern Times

modern times allow for me to see
every detail of every change in your new scenery
pixelated facts, I'd figure
that information travels quicker
you think your life's like a Woody Allen movie
complete with asides to where the audiences should be
yeah, it's been a while since we used our fingers to paint these walls
i'll wait around for you to reply as I check my screen
you laugh at me like I'm a comment you read on a bathroom stall
but I can't tell if you might've missed me
you're barely breathing
when you're dragging your feet
to the far side of town
where you've been hanging around
now you're wondering why the hell you've gone this far
had you been home on time
when your heartbeat's a scream
you take one for the team
you've been begging to leave
now you're wondering why the hell you've gone this far
had you been home on time
i want you to say something
why won't you just say something?
anything that would help
the medicine doesn't help
in other words, binary codes
expressions that would never show
repetitions of the past
good things seem to never last
modern times allow for me to see...
