my memories had become fragments of half fictional light
two drunk teenage kids whose hearts collide
but i dont need it yet ill hide in your silhouette
or the ghost of a storm on the shores of lake michigan
i heard the rapture begin
that nervous laughter again
that world we built on a whim
itd look better in ruins

theres no more memories in the neighborhood im from
i fell asleep in the sun
the last catastrophe was just the nail in the coffin
i fell asleep all alone
ill wait tonight on a highway by your side
it gets like this all the time
all wasted nights on a highway by your side
it gets like this all the time
hey mr reilly ive been hangin around this little town
where the trees meet over the streets
the last catastrophe was a little too much for me
so i fell back asleep

how far will you go to get a reaction from me
a lot of shit went down but i sorta find this hard to believe
im starting to doubt myself and feelings dont transcend
id get down on my knees but im too drunk to even pretend
dont change your mind again i cannot take it
id hate to be alone or be the one to break it
we sat around my house talking about outer space
long journeys wear me out i cant make it at this pace
whats a day or two if today doesnt mean anything
the guard steps to his girl but something tells me shes just a creep
i and only i can get away
there are holes where my eyes were and they still burn

Devil Dances

whoa oh my
i ran into a lion last night
i screamed and shout with all of my might
and the King said that he was flattered
and oh Alice was right
and Lucy passed out on the couch again last night
the hatter had his way with her all night
and all I heard was violent laughter
and so the cow jumped over the dark side of the moon
ma dont you know that I'll be home soon
ill see you next June
and all your wishes fell off of a shooting star
the ends beckoning that were not so far
from bits of dust and faded scars
and oh awake at night
while shadows creep on through my window I search for light
the devil dances to the school girls plight
and on the chalkboard blood was splattered
and oh a beanstalk too tall
and Dutch boy went and pulled his finger out the wall
we traded porridge for some cheap alcohol
thats paired with sex and murmured chatter
and all your wishes fell off of a shooting star
the ends beckoning that were not so far
from bits of dust and faded scars
and so the cow jumped over the dark side of the moon
ma don't you know that ill be home soon
ill see you next June

run like a sick dog gone insane
like a tumor straight to my brain
being spared by mary jane
you never wanna feel that [pain]
down like a coffee cup on its side
like i have to let this one slide
the lead guitarist puked all night
run when they offer a [ride]
gone like a car flipped upside down
like a telephone pole out of ground
like im lucky just to be around
you never wanna hear that [sound]
out like a stray dog turned up dead
like a dirt clot to my head
faking condolences from my bed
ill never forget what you [said]

Nobody Girl

i met you once though i knew you twice
in the middle of last night
dark beginnings i caught you grinning
in the middle of a fight
lost in transit stained and rancid
notes from my hero
bicycle with one flat tire
i guess ill let you know
but whats that got to do with it
dirty hands when no girl split
distorted smiles on my best friend
its just to far to know that end
cigarettes and coca cola
and the glum look on your face
fuzzy tube socks frozen clocks
i think i recognize this place

World Spins Crooked

hey the other day your test came back
and guess what youre insane
are things the same when you are downtown
screaming at the water falling from the sky
as the carpet road pulls idle cars along I-55
for miles
mutilation rates well lately theyve been off the charts
another isolator I do consider it my art
everyday we hide our artificial light from the sun
daytime comes around cover the over consume
there’s a little part of me that keeps on getting larger
questioning the fact that were all just made of water
and I dont know what I do know
in plains you dont recognize kids hide in lakes and bluffs
egos gone out for walk he'll be back when it wears off
youre young youre gifted and lately youve been slacking off
lackadaisic revelry has never been good
ancient stained malignancies run wild throughout your hardcovers
if you could change the past itd never be good enough
this world spins on a crooked plane have pinetrees always looked the same
and if so just whos to blame
when three becomes one youre to blame
you were never doubted
though your thoughts so clouded
standing alone you’re grounded
in an empty field once clouded

Rubble

there she goes again
shes lost in her head
but somethings she said were better left unsaid
like the way she moved on the night of the living dead
and so she said "away"
she dont like me this way
but these holes in my jeans and these holes in my brain wont change
as we both walked away it occurred to me were the same

early one morning im coming down
ive felt this once before
your sister says that shes been around
and your mom says shes a whore
what i lack is a loyalty
to casual society
when i wake i can hear them say
he must've had quite a day
later on into this endless month
i cant find where you lay
now im trying not to fall in love
its such a familiar shapes
when i think straight its in my brain
were never gonna feel the same
when i wake i can hear them say
he mustve had quite a day

he leaves right when he gets his way
with plans mapped out on the bay
a captain sinks with his ship
is this it
they all sought after you
the darkside knows the truth it echoes
we know no better than this
the urban sprawl is filled with bliss it echoes
and im hanging out in the yard
playing fetch with the dogs
a skateboard cracks on a rail
the convict runs back to jail
mama said to be home
when the streetlights turn on
im not as late as you
it cant be true
