Same shit. New day.
I got drunk. I got laid.
hey, hey. hey, hey
I felt bored. I felt late
Too much shit, on my plate today
hey, hey.
I was looking for comfort
I was looking for ease
I was looking for quick fix
to a long living disease
I was looking for margins
lost in the crease
I was looking for any way
that I could feel release
Everybody wants clarity
Give me something real that I can see in front of me
before it all gets caught up in the weeds
Nothing here seems fair to me
The zero-sum economy bought me cheap seats
to watch it all get washed back out to sea
I’m crying
I’m crying, I’m crying each day
It’s hard to see so much in disarray
My body
My body, my body won’t stay
But maybe all these words will find a way
More loss. No break.
Is it earned? Is it fate?
hey, hey. hey, hey
I just want to be great
But it’s fine, I’ll wait
hey, hey. hey, hey

Cheap Fate

Cheap fate.
I’ve been losing sleep these days
Is it too late?
I’ve got this news in my brain
Got to escape
To another time and place
No, just wait.
When it ends you won’t know it came.
And I’ve been losing hours
Watching sycophants and cowards
The Sneetches got in line for their tattoos
And after counting dollars
You pulled the chain upon your collar
You were tired man, because they got to you
But if you feel good enough then fuck it,
good for you.

Election Season

Red lights blinking.
Election Season.
There were calls back from home
Do we reap what we sow?
It’s so hard keeping friends.
Always means to an end.
Takes no courage to call out a foe
Never mind what is in your control
Came to terms with the times
If I said I was fine I was lying
It’s a black comedy that we’re in
Might as well figure out how it ends
Time’s gon’ get us all,
when it can.
On you how it falls,
until then.
I’ll forgive the faults,
of man.
Time’s gon’ get us all,
in the end.

Opus

The coast is clear tonight
so we can go wherever we please
The most I fear in life is it will close
before we can leave
I wanted control.
I wanted a lot of shit for sure.
But who moved the goal?
I don’t know what I’m still shooting for
I feel I’m losing focus
Always losing my train of thought
Maybe it’s neurosis
Never knew I could fight it off
I don’t want to be hopeless
Because nobody turned the lights down
I’m just here to play my opus
La di da di da da da
The truth is tough at times
but we can’t all hide out in the dark
The view’s better up high
that’s why the climb is so damn hard
