And we thought we'd live forever
Until the night when
It got way too serious
And you showed me your damaged wrists
And you broke down and we embraced
And nothing at that time meant more to me
And if I had only known
That it would be the last time
We'd be on that level with one another
I would have never let you go

 

I am freaking out in my mind,
In a house that isn't mine.
My end goal isn't clear,
Should not have had that last beer.
That guy I kinda hate is here,
Should not have had that last… hit of DMT!

What happened to that chubby little kid who smiled so much and loved the Beach Boys?
What happened is I killed that fucker and I took his name and I got new glasses.

 

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls toward the truth
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom to its youth

 

And nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

 

Thumbing through the pages again
Fold them up all over again

 

I saw the glass as half full
So I felt I could ask for more
I was comfortable
It spilled over onto the floor
I beg to come back to before
With the damage done
And the damage won

 

every time i'm close to the holy ghost, i always seem to let her go

 

Every kid that's left just kept going
And every debt we didn't pay
We just keep owing
Never visit your daddy's grave
But we go by the house
He'd be working on a car in the driveway
If he was with us now
And that porch swing you built for your mama
Is all but gone
I guess even when you stay right here
Sometimes you can't go home

 

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

 

Is this a Bob Dylan lyric?

 

It's from a Radiohead b-side Craig cmon

 

Bring on the Bob Dylan and/or Radiohead cover of "All Star."

 

So I'm not unsympathetic
I see why you left
There's no one to know
There's nothing to do
The city's been dead
Since you've been gone

 

Oh, I just love you
Oh, I just love you

 

When I'm alone, I'm alone at night
I wanna set my father free

And I'm alone, I'm alone in flight
My mother holds the lock and key

Where did I go wrong?
I've got a sneaking suspicion it ain't over

I won't let you, I won't let them
Set me to repeat

 

I don't know what you wanted
I tried to be so perfect
I thought that it was worth it
To let myself just disappear

//

What you gave me, I know you gave me
You remind me all the time
And how you hurt me and you don’t see it
Again, I am the child
And though you tell me that you love me
I can’t feel it and I’m afraid to let you down
It’s all or nothing, I fear that something’s wrong

I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
And in order to please you I’ve abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way

 

And I love this place; the enormous sky,
and the faces, hands that I'm haunted by,
so why can't I forgive these buildings,
these frameworks labeled "Home"?

 

Hold on to the corners of today,
And we'll fold it up to save until it's needed.
Stand still. Let me scrub that brackish line that you got
When something rose and then receded.
Hold On

 

This drunken body I've left behind
And the problems that are no longer mine
I resided under your broken feathers
For too long scraps of pictures in a box
Is what remains of those childhood dreams
You'll never know, The person I've become

 

Some people talk about you
Like they know all about you
When you get down they doubt you
And when you tipping on the scene
Yeah they talkin' about it
'Cause they can't tip all on the scene with you
What you talk about it
Talkin' about it
When you get elevated,
They love it or they hate it
You dance up on them haters
Keep getting funky on the scene
While they jumpin' round you
They trying to take all your dreams
But you can't allow it
'Cause baby whether you're high or low
Whether you're high or low
You gotta tip on the tightrope

 

What god doesn't give to you
You've got to go and get for yourself

 

We'll fill the blanked out page
We'll burn the traces
We'll turn the unslept hours to days
Old record running down
We'll flip it over and sing the songs
We've never heard
Now
Now
Now
Now

 

May you endure every indignity
Knowing all the while life will go on
And when it ends may you have nothing to say
Except that it took too long
And may I be there somehow
Asking "where're all of your friends now?"

 

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know that was the best part
It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heart

 

Imagining victory, our alternate history
The songs we never wrote, they float above and below me
Keepsake tinnitus shrieks me to sleep, each frequency's a memory of some show we attended
Fuck your learner's permit
Come down to Philly with me, see the Wrens in a rec room.
