Just Be Human

I only found you
I’m mostly collected things
Chance encounters
I’m there inspired
You’ll be fine on the fast lane of life
I’m only given
Now i got
Make mess
Make sense
It’s all lies
You only got one shot at being human
So keep it together

Danced Once
03:01

In highest of highs
Or lowest of lows
He never danced in his life
“My Dirty Harry
Sugar, white candy
You’re all nerves. . .so am I”
Heads up
My guy has figured it out
What he wants for his time
“You want control
You like to be alone
Take what’s left, what is mine”
Danced once and I know
Heaven knows I know
Thought correspond
He left you some notes
It takes once to know what it’s like
“When can I get off of this planet
and join you in the light?”
Danced once and I know
Heaven knows I know

Service
01:59
|

I see someone in my backseat
once i’m done with you this’ll be nothing
I don’t remember seeing you for the first time
I’m broken into tiny pieces
you say “I did you a service”
I can’t seem to get back on my two feet

Calm Down
03:48
|

Tell me how it fells
Skip the hellos and your lines
I thought we had a deal
Rinse your words with wine
I can’t loosen up, can you?
I can loosen up if you want me to
Uptight, uptight
I just need a little more time
A year or a day to calm down
All it takes is a breath
Someone to turn to
Stop and take a rest
Obsess over the new
I can’t loosen up, can you?
I can loosen up if you want me to
Uptight, uptight
I just need a little more time
A year or day to calm down
When we’re not so tight
Don’t you need a bit more time?
You could come down to me
Anything you want
I am being sincere
I don’t think you’re even here with me
(Not even half way through)

I’m getting better at this part of the day
The waking up with a smile on my face bit
Anyway
I should read the news more
Spoke too much?
Most of these obvious signals, missed
But you listened on
Patient and awkward
The usual shit
I’m getting better at this part of the day
I’ve waited all my life to _____
Anyway
Back to studying at gunpoint
James in my head
The time has come, apparently
Not ready yet?
Lights go out and the stage is lit
The art isn’t to care
You’re stuck on circles and squares
The art is the unseen
I’m done with showing
The art is in the care
You’re stuck on circles and squares
The art’s easy to see
I’m done with showing

You’re so undone
Out of orbit
And now I’m thinning
Having thoughts again?
My boy, you haven’t slept well since august
Dream a bit of escape
And no more promises to make
You’re so undone
Out of orbit
And now I’m thinning
When I’m going out for a ride
A monster’s driving this time
Eating at my face
I used to be afraid to give it a name
Don’t cool off yet
Feel it burning
Oh look, it’s night time again
Impossible knots
Throw them in the trunk
I went missing in a haze
You’re so undone
Out of orbit
And now I’m thinning
Out of orbit
Now I’m thinning
Just as coarse as today
Out of orbit
Now I’m thinning
Just stay out of my head

Look out your window
Alien avenues
Moonlit screams from an oblique city
Played it myself
The way I’m used to
Finally met my comforting
I made it out
Woke up to a sense I’ve been longing
So sure
These...my place, and this...my calling
You’re sure
Couldn’t think of any other way
We’d end up here
What if we met in 1997?
Would it be the same as it’s always been?
Were we meant to be
Cold and lonely?
New in town again
Don’t we like to be
Cold and lonely
Or born again?
I made it out
Woke up to a sense of belonging
So sure
These...my place, and this...my calling
Your shores
Couldn’t think of any other lane
We’d end up here
What if we met in 1997?
Would it be the same as it’s always been?
Were we meant to be
Cold and lonely?
New in town again
Don’t we like to be
Cold and lonely
Or born again?
I’d like it if we’re never lonely ever again

Old morning, what are you going through?
Come close and i’ll listen to you
Shorthand, you know what to do
Leave me by a riverbed on my own
You were never one to be strand wide
We never know what you’re thinking of
You were never one to look with both eyes
But we enough
That you’d go
How am I supposed to stay in this lonesome state?
I don’t think I can take much longer
I’d love to stay another day at the palace
I don’t think I’ve ever left here

All You Ever Do

For a day I can be anyone
A goddamn pro at adapting
But what you do really want?
Simple things are giving you a hard time
Is that all you ever do?
Stop all of this
Go off grid
Came home to a buzz
Fridge hum
A mother’s hug
I’m used up
Gear change
Simple things are giving you a hard time
Is that all you ever do?

First-day crowd hit a novel place
Please don’t dance in this hallway
We have the face to indicate the wrong time
Sweet, soft bed to an awful place
Excuse me if i forget my praise
Easy, fix me another case
I feel it
I fear it
And I’m feeding into it
Take these people with no one to talk to
I’ll be back with warmth sometime in winter
Low night, loud places drown out my cries
Sweet, soft bed to an awful place
Excuse me if I forget my praise
ZE preach to JDS
I feel it
I hear it
And I’m leaning into it
Is this really you talking?
Fingers crossed the walls aren’t really caving in
