Do you ever feel the tug and tide?
Like a tumbleweed left on its side
I can always feel it at the start
Like a lighter struck deep in the dark
But when I get close to something real
Oh...
But when I get close to something real
I freeze
Does it always have to be like this?
Task lists read like threats
Goddamn I'm super stressed and I
Thought this could be it
Tick tock tick, my jawbone's throb
That tired guilt is such a jerk
I try and try to love my job
But still it ends up becoming work
It must be all my fault
How did I fail? Where did I go so wrong?
I run out that stupid clock
And every day it leaves me staring blankly at my dinner plate
Wondering when I can go home

So another day is really over..
Oh can you believe it my friend? I know!
We can go insane or we can just take it slow
And I can't believe they didn't tell me
They were going out tonight! oh well
What do we need them for? we got our own flow
Sun won't be around all that much longer
But I don't care - at all!
We'll make the most of what we got, stay up all night
Oh and when the morning comes
I gotta pay the price
So why not make it worth our while?
Believe it
Finally we're free for a little while
Ready to redeem that restless child
We don't wanna care anymore, don't care anymore
Don't wanna care anymore, don't care anymore
Don't wanna worry
Tomorrow won't be easy
But tomorrow isn't here
So let's go out like it's the end of the year
Believe it
Finally we're free for a little while
Ready to redeem that restless child
We don't wanna care anymore, don't care anymore
Don't wanna care anymore, don't care anymore
Don't wanna worry
Oh no!

Same Lesson

It's always the same lesson
How do I follow the signs in the stars?
When I can't see the direction of
The milky way that was so clear on summer solstice?
It's always the same lesson
And I'm scared to go back there 'cause I know what I'll find
I don't know if I can handle the breakdown of
The stories that I've told myself the past months to get by
But maybe there's nothing there
Maybe it's all built up and there's nothing to fear
Maybe it slipped away
And maybe that's okay
It's always the same lesson

Stare at the Fire

Stare at the fire!
Stare at the charred eyes of a burnt-out liar
His skin set and sunken and out at the pyre
Golden embers sing out in choir
And I can't see what's left of the world of my dark twisted head
I bought my own sheets so I made my own bed
But the point of it all has escaped my soul
Burning with the coals
So...
Stare at the fire
Stare at the ashes of all we desire
Stare at the things which we couldn't inquire
Rotten wood all tangled in wire
And I can't see what's left of the world of our dark twisted heads
We bought our own sheets and we made our own beds
But the point of it all has escaped our souls
Burning with the coals

Seeds of Life

Connecting through the city wall
You heard me breathing
I told you what I wish I thought
My lips believing
Supremely awkward in the hall
You called me over
You cried into my dirty shirt
A bloody shoulder
And the tide looks long but soon returns us back to shore
And I say what I want cause I don't think anyone's keeping score
Behind an ancient drive to feel
And the seeds of life fall and grow on their own time
A night suspended in reverse
An empty evening
Our shadows lengthen on the wall
Our words receding
A tired conscience keeping still
After all we've got to live
And rest to forgive
And God knows whatever else is in the plan
And God knows whatever else is in our hands
I'll see you on the back side of this rainbow
Wherever all of the rest must surely go
And the tide looks long but soon returns us back to shore
And I say what I want cause I don't think anyone's keeping score
Behind an ancient drive to feel
And the seeds of life fall and grow on their own time
Exposing to your hidden hell
My only meaning
We're slowly coming to expect
The things we're seeing
