Losing Focus

I don't know where we stand
Or why you're doing this to me
Most of the time I don't know
Where I am or what happened to me
I don't know where we stand
Or why you're so obsessed with me
Some of the time I forget who I am
Or what's become of me
You've likely noticed
You're losing focus
For a couple months at least
(A couple months at least)
You'll stop that gloatin'
Stick figures, and potions
Your spells, the scrolls, hypocrisies
It's not alright
I don't know where we stand
Or why you're doing this to me
Most of the time I don't know
Where I am or what happened to me
I don't know where we stand
Or why you're so obsessed with me
Some of the time I forget who I am
Or what's become of me
You always call when you're in trouble
And I pick up and and act all humble
It feels strange
I never wanna change
Don't wanna be some teachers pet
Don't wanna be no wannabe
Who won't get that far
Don't treat me like your fucking dog
'Cause that means I won't live too long
So wish on a star
That I still care about you
But also wanna sleep tonight
But I still care about you
Even though we fight all the time
I don't know where we stand
Or why you're doing this to me
Most of the time I don't know
Where I am or what happened to me
I don't know where we stand
Or why you're so obsessed with me
Some of the time I forget who I am
Or what's become of me

Only Glow

I walked through an empty un-shaded field
Soaking in everything I hadn't
I walked through an empty house with a clear
State of mind
Moving all of those boxes of mine
From the middle to the back of the bus
Did the vinyl dreams mean all that much
No no no
And I know there's some reprieve for you and me
For you and me
But I think I found some sunshine in your
Glow, glow, glow
Even when the moon is out and this old heart is broke
Never wanna go home, home, home
Cause I just found out you are better off unknown
Holy fucking shit
I might go Rambo Cliff
Oh my fucking god
I won't get over this
I'm a loser not a fish
So no more bait and switch this time around
Cause you burned the bridges
With fire and kindling
And you tried to fix it
With wires and stitches
Now you can't leave the kitchen
Or even do the dishes
And how'd you let it get that bad
I used to give a fuck till you up and left
You left, you left
And how long you been asleep
Its been a few years since the last it seems
It seems, it seems
All along you been stuck in a dream
But your comatose state won't distract me
From now on
Now you only grow, grow, grow
Even though the news came out that you were just a joke
Even when there's snow, snow, snow
We just found out you grow better in the cold
You grow better in the cold
And I hate missing you
I miss you every day
And I hate missing you
And now I don't
Hi sweetheart, it's me, it's uh
Dad, I just wanted to give you a call and see how you were, um
Hopefully I can see you soon and um
Yeah just text me, or, or just a day that you're around I mean you could be
I know this is uh
New Years weekend and stuff I don't know if you're doing anything for that
But uh
I'd just like to see you for a little bit, I miss you
Um, I love you, and I'll talk to you soon
Alright baby, bye

Foxtrot

I was an astronautic Juggernaut
Now I'm a leader of the cult
I learned the fox without the trot
Talk too loud without a thought
I was walking through that field
I found a cross that's made of steel
I saw a spider with no legs
In the church where she was wed
But it don't
Glow-oh, glow-oh, glow-oh, oh
Like it used to
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh
I'll steal your glow and I'll
Take it as mine
In my mind
You remind me of
Swimming pools that come in blue
Or a Rubik's Cube in a solid hue with you
And me
These days turn into weeks as I blink my eyes
And I think that this should end
And so I guess we gotta play pretend
Talkin' bout the sunset on the beach
In the middle of June
With you
But it don't
Glow-oh, glow-oh, glow-oh, oh
Like it used to
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh
I'll steal your glow and I'll
Take it as mine
In my mind
You remind me of
Swimming pools that come in blue
Or a Rubik's Cube in a solid hue with you
And me
These days turn into weeks as I blink my eyes

Letterman

You got your car before I got my letterman
You play guitar before you learn the violin
Got your car before I got my letterman
You play guitar before you learn the violin
It ain't that easy no more
To pick your limp body off of the floor
It ain't how it used to be
I was never into parties but this social life is killing me
It ain't that worth it no more
To row a wooden boat with a broken oar
I didn't used to be so mean
But I fell into a spiral after all my friends abandoned me
But that's a hyperbole
A sarcastic eternity
You got your car before I got my letterman
You play guitar before you learn the violin
Got your car before I got my letterman
You play guitar before you learn the violin
Took me too long to see what's wrong
I went two times
And I'm never gonna go again
Took me too long to see what's wrong
I went two times
And so I guess we gotta play pretend
And I guess we oughta not be friends
You know every bad story has an end
Well hello Isaac, this is your grandfather
And, I was just checking to see, uh
How you're doing there, ok
How's your knee
I understand you had a little fight with a skateboard and the skateboard won
How about that
Well, give me a call when you get time
It was wet like
Water
Go and flow on
My friends all got lives
Bailey got a wife
He works nine to five
And my card declined cause
You got your car before I got my letterman
You play guitar before you learn the violin
Mastered patience just to tune your mandolin
I'm doing better since I got my letterman
You got your car before I got my letterman
You play guitar before you learn the violin
Got your car before I got my letterman
You play guitar before you learn the violin

U Wonder

What you wonder
Doesn't bother me
It doesn't bother me
It doesn't bother me
What you wonder
Doesn't bother me
Doesn't bother me
What you wonder
Doesn't bother me
Doesn't bother me
What you wonder
Doesn't bother anyone like you
What you wonder
Doesn't bother anyone like it does to you
Inlaid light came from the hallway inside
Then like a bellowing rage consumed the room it contained
A staircase wide enveloped
Cultists entwined in ropes and
Chain links were tied
Held them till they spilled their side in a cage
Woah, woah
Woah, woah-ah, ah, ah, ah
What's your number
I'll call you back at three
Or when you need
I didn't stutter
I didn't make a scene
Or need to bleed
What's a lover
I'm wishing that its anyone but you
Burning rubber
I'm going 90 in a 40 through your avenue
Blood is all I want
My lovely juggernaut
A sanctuary of tears underneath a pit of broken chandeliers
If pain is all you feel
And nothing feels real
The subjectivity of taste buds makes it hard to eat
Who gives a fuck
Believes in love
Would push to shove
What would you wonder
What would you wonder
I went home, all alone
In my head, Coach-K said
A weary plight comes with a path
Full of debris and littered trash
And buried deep under the snow
You'll never let your colors show
This world don't come with no road map
A fire caught without a match
What you wonder
Doesn't bother me
Doesn't bother me
