☰ wayback
people cling together
they stay for themselves
these people seem to never
be happy that way
stay away from the wayback
rules from conversation always get in the way
wounds from confrontation always in today
☰ mine,us
well there's mine, and there's us
and in between who can you trust?
keep thinking addition's a plus
good old "mine/us"
well there's you, and there's me
and yes, with this "we" that makes three
but where the hell am i supposed to be?
this "we" called three
somebody told me there's a reason
another wants to knock me down
then drag me over and around this stupid idea
of the person who they think that they found
(repeat first part twice)
☰ spots
my thoughts are knots like spots of cornea that float over your eye
displayed but in the way, they cover you and smother as you try
to seek beneath the curious menagerie of things
both clever and forever promising
(these thoughts are from the future)
looking back and failing to agree
with time as ever anything unfinished lingers on and on into the realm
of form
☰ many sinister soups
i woke up, i'd passed out on the lawn
i could tell by the tire tracks that you had long gone
and the neighbors and dogs barking went on and on once again
it's a shame.
we lie to ourselves to make ourselves happy
in this place things have changed quite a bit
but in so many ways it's still all the same shit
and i asked them how they were but they just won't talk about it
it's a shame.
☰ rollover
i keep having these goddamn dreams
where i wake still half asleep
there's someone in the room with me
by my side, under the sheets
jump out of bed, turn on the lights
but there's no one in the room
i keep hearing these noises outside
so it's quiet as a tomb
my hand it shakes, my knee it hurts
and the walls keep closing in
can't understand where i am anymore
or just how to begin
and three bears in the bed and the little one said
"I'm tired. Roll Over."
☰ filter pass't
time passed is a bug in a glass and it's alien to me
idea once so easy to hear is like and ancient mystery
so true the last thing you knew will be the first thing that's on your mind
but great beginnings don't lead to happy endings
they just simmer out
circling around with your eyes fixed on the ground
center on the sound, oh wait filtering out loud (x2)
and so again, nothing ever seems to change
it's all in the past, which in time we rearrange
go through the past i'm knee deep in molassus
we see the world through rose colored glasses
rewrite the past 'till it makes sense to us
we filter past
in my head i don't see right and wrong then
half the reason i'm writing this song when
all that's gone is what makes us who we are
we filter past
