What’s my BPM Again?
Stand up clap your hands to the beating
Of this empty heart never receiving
Which way is the fastest way home?
I head north on main
Passed the place where I got the DUI
I’ve never complained for the matter explained
What sense was going through my mind
If you’d like to know let’s grab a cup of coffee sometime.
Around the corner there’s a great place it’s open late.
You know I moved here three years ago to this day.
And every day away from here
I felt like I was wasting way.
When I returned
Everyone’s habits stayed the same
When I returned
There was always a drink to claim
When I returned
I felt like I had been tamed
When I left
I Lost the best part of this town.
Green eyes
Blonde hair
A smile so devious it caused an angel to stare
I’m not frightened of this town
But of the future I have found.

Better Than Me
I’ve passed it onto you
These fractured relationships
No one will take you in
Maybe we were broken from the start
Impossible to tell
As you wrestle with that voice inside your head
This pavement turns to dirt
The elevation thins out words
Is this how we communicate?
The ringing in my ears is so delicate
I can’t hear my thoughts
The closer we are the farther we grow apart
I want you to try
I want you to succeed
I don’t want to see you not living out those dreams.
Prove em wrong
Shine, grown, and conquer
Be better than me
Be better than me.

Glasses
Memories of experiences
Not loud, but quiet and harsh
This life seems formidable
The more I try the more I get lost
These days are blurring into years
The lines on my face show
A person that adapting
The best way they know.
The more I try the more I get lost
Wide eyed aspirations
I’ve gotta keep these fears at bay
I’m tired of letting myself down
“Is everything okay?”
I’ve gotta turn around
I’ve gotta protect my eyes
I’m afraid to let you in
I’m afraid that you’re dying
I’m a set of Claude glasses
Your beauty is overwhelming

Desert Drugs
You fell asleep at the wheel
Those desert drugs were the real deal
The sad fact is we never got to take them anyway
Spending Christmas day alone
In a world so far away from home
I’m okay with running away from everything.
These lights of sin are quite enticing
While I’m off making all these new memories
How could I move on with such ease?
It explains a lot about our situation
I’m the one that put up the wedge
That was building long before this
Trying to keep me in line while I was off being so reckless
Refusing to make a change
Keeping on this self destructive pace
My excuses are catching up with me
I’ll grow as I wait
For a beautiful mistake
In the meantime I‘ll gladly walk this desert with you.
Yeah I wish we got to take those drugs too.

Coffin handbill
Sleeping with a corpse
I don’t want to fucking die anymore
I’ve lived, loved, wasted, and died
I can’t even say I’ve enjoyed the ride
And I’m drinking again
Fighting off the urge to call
Location, location, location
Please tell me relevant lies
Where are you?
What are you doing tonight?
Memories with unfinished business
Lingering around this house
And everywhere I look
A piece of you comes out
I’m not in a good place
And I’m drinking again
Fighting off the urge to call
Location, location, location
Please tell me relevant lies
Where are you?
What are you doing tonight?
These memories don’t lie
So help me through the night this time.

Flowers
Huddled in the closet escaping the sounds of this world
I’m broken bankrupt and diseased
A bouquet of flowers that you find stomped out on the street
At one point I was beautiful
So stop reminding me
How some days I want to live
And others I'd like to die
My perspective of this life changes
With each sunrise
it’s these nights that seem to get the best me
Is it the coffee or the alcohol
That cause my hands to shake
Whatever excuse makes me look better in your eyes
Is the one I’m willing to make.
As these vices always take ahold
I see clarity
Remembering what I used to hold
So stop reminding me
I know it’s unhealthy
But what the hell?
When I’m wrapped around you
I finally care about myself.

Wet Spot
You remind me of my favorite authors
Talented but never recognized
That our lives are as bad as they seem
We’re filled with potential
The narration comes in weak, boring, and subtle
This one has the ingredients to go down in history
Because of a heart attack
Failed liver
Or Suicide
Will do just fine.
My feet are worn and the binding that held us all together is now tried cracked and torn
The blood used to pump, but now it’s clotting well
These empty limbs will soon be dead weight
An anvil that holds me to this thriving town
Where everyone has a point to make
Give me the mountains and a lake
Picture what could come
An image, a tidal wave of regret
Your eyes are swollen and red from words I have said
A half mile down the road
I’ll picture what to write about when I get home
A half mile down the road
If ignorance is bliss then I’m glad to be alone
You remind me of my favorite authors
Talented but never recognized
And our lives are as bad as they seem
We’re filled with potential
We are our own worst critics in everyone’s eyes
Our greatest works will be published
Long posthumously and I’m okay with that.
We made it
We found our solid ground
No axe to fall, no mistakes to try to knock us down
We made it
This time I am sincere
There’s no place I’d rather be
Then anywhere but here.
