Got My Eye On You

I'm thinking
I've sat here for too long
I found this space and got lost
Ain't it time to move on
But I've got my eye on you
Screw it
We've got holes in our heads
We’ve got room in our beds
I make friends with the dead
But I’ve got my eye on you
We’re all the same living this way
Ain't it a pain? I might as well stay
I dreamt for the real but it went away
Screw it
I'll get by for the year
I don’t need to be here
It’s the waiting I fear
But I've got my eye on you
We’re all the same living this way
Ain't it a pain? I might as well stay
If this isn’t real
I don’t like to admit how I feel
But go on and try
I’ll be watching you
waiting for it
I’m sinking
I’ve sat here for too long
Christ you're right I was wrong
Maybe it’s time to move on

Early Risers
03:49

This one's for the lonely
For the weathered, the unrested
Though they're patient, they're complacent
Growing ancient by the mass
And the morning is for sleeping
Any day left of the weekend
Though it's gonna come back to bite you
Fair warning to prepare
And the morning is for sleeping
Through the sun, the light, and the beeping
And the lonely start to creep in
You awake, you're suddenly weeping
This one's for the cheerful
For the smilers, early risers
Though they're restless, they're relentless
Growing older just the same
And they'll taunt you and confuse you
With monotony and illusion
"You're a junky, you're a bad seed"
"Look to God for restitution"
And the morning is for sleeping
Through the sun, the light, and the beeping
And the lonely start to creep in
You awake, you're suddenly weeping
And you're mourning and you're screaming
In your mind you're steadily grieving
And the romance you believed in
Left a scar, a burden, a demon
This one's for the lonely
Waiting for your one and only
For the last dance or the right chance
Until romance isn't real
And the morning is for sleeping
Through the sun, the light, and the beeping
And the lonely start to creep in
You awake, you're suddenly weeping
And you're mourning and you're screaming
In your mind you're steadily grieving
And the romance you believed in
Left a scar, a burden, a demon

Body in a Cage
04:07

If you're trying to kill me
I'll prove it if I must
I've been told I'm a pleaser
A breeder of diseases
To my own degradation
Now you're wasting away
You're a your body in a cage
Now you're digging your own grave
Darling don't you despise me?
I'd think you'd recognize these lies
I was cold and demeaning
And living lost its meaning
While the whole city's standing by for me
Now you're wasting away
You're a your body in a cage
Now you're digging your own grave
If you're trying to kill me
There's nothing left inside
I've been told I'm a pleaser
A breeder of diseases
While the whole city sleeps

Ain't it nice?
You're so far away from home
Would you correct me if I'm wrong?
Am I all right?
I couldn't feel down if I tried
What is the difference anyhow?
Steal your poison, break my heart
Do this over, fall apart
Clear the toxins from my brain
Spare me your pity
Now I'm mine
I feel more when I'm alone
Would you correct me if I'm wrong?
Am I in line?
I couldn't feel down if I tried
Either way, we're doing fine
Steal your poison, break my heart
Do this over, and fall apart
Clear the toxins from my brain
Spare me your pity

Right in Time

Erode under pressure
You thought maybe you'd lose me
It was cold
You'd done better
No need to amuse me
Is this a joke?
I ain't laughing
no need to amuse me
It was cold and demeaning
You'd like to accuse me
You're sick, you're screwed on this fixation
At your own invitation
And you've made your perfect cessation
For that I should thank you
You still blow my mind
I'd admit if I was a little tongue-tied
The sweetest rain
The taste of sugar came
Right in time
To bring you peace of mind
Erode under pressure
You thought maybe you'd lose me
I was cold and demeaning
You'll have to excuse me
This is sick, you're screwed on this fixation
At your own invitation
And you've made your perfect cessation
For that I should thank you
And you still blow my mind
I'd admit if I was a little tongue-tied
The sweetest rain
The taste of sugar came
Right in time
To bring you peace of mind
But you still blow my mind
I'd admit if I was ever tongue-tied
It's such a shame
The sweetest rain
The taste of sugar came right in time
To bring you peace of mind

They'll tie you to the floor
And smother you
You're bound to change your mind
Neighbors gather 'round to see
They'll water you like flowers 'til you drown
You say "Momma please"
"I cannot breathe, and it makes me wanna tell"
My Father said
"Don't go begging for your soul"
My hands are tied
They'll pull your strings
We're turning all your money gold
Don't exchange, don't exchange
Until they all grow old
Or watch it blacken, turn to coal
We'll live on water
Pull my own strings, rule supreme
We'll call it home
Well they'll shine you up in blue
And black
'Til you bleed to his delight
So you'd better know your rights
As if that much would save you anyhow
We're turning all your money gold
Don't exchange, don't exchange
Until we all grow old
Or watch it blacken, turn to coal
We'll live on water
Pull my own strings, rule supreme

Residue
04:56

I could feed this fire if indeed there's a viable means
But I won't waste any making due of your desire debris
Let the blind men stumble, and the poor man fumble for food
'Cause I can wear my burden in the loom of another dispute
I'm all that I wasn't my dear
Well who stole the cookie from the goddamn cookie jar?
We could blame one another 'til the klepto folds his cards
And we're all here feeling in a room full of residue
With the names and numbers of the people and the places I knew
I'm all that I wasn't my dear
While we're all here feeling in a room full of residue
Keep the names and numbers of the people and the places we knew
I’m all that I wasn’t my dear
