something sitting in my car seat
waiting for the verdict
wonder when i gotta go home
one, two, zero down the freeway
miles to empty
do I want to go home?
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
is it consequential?
I don’t think so
everything’s the same
I watch it all the time,
on the tv in my bedroom
something brings me ever closer
to pulling the trigger
oh I don’t know why
our fun, never ever your fun
or you’re on your lonesome
for the rest of life
oh i was feeling sorry for myself i said
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
Is it consequential?
I don’t think so
Everything’s the same
I watch it all the time,
On the tv in my bedroom
oh,
I took her down to the parking lot
she said I wonder if you think a lot
she said I wonder if you think a lot, I said no
I walked right back to the place I started
Nobody wanted to be around
Nobody wanted to be around anymore
something brings me ever closer
to pulling the trigger
oh I don’t know why

desert people

tumbleweeds weaving through the creases in his hand
vinegar dripping from his eyes in waves
I don’t think that anything would make the boy behave
I didn’t think that anything would put him in his place
cigarette smoke drifting through the currents in the air
sand covers every inch of skin he could find
runs a nervous hand back through the tangles in his hair
he couldn’t tell the truth but he can’t bring himself to lie

so tell me again
how you think I deserve the world,
when everyone else is gone?
you think I deserve a girl
who'd never ever do me wrong?
how everyone loves these songs
I'm way too hard on myself
and you think that I should stop
do you really think that's true
do you really, really think that?
cause I went for a walk tonight
and the street said no way
and the cigarette burned me
I'm not a man like that
I'm not a man like that
I'm not a man like that
I'm not a man like that
I wish that I was
but it's never enough
so maybe I'm zen
am I really at peace with myself,
or I really really need some help?
I really wanna fall apart,
and never get back again
just lying on the floor
in a room full of better men
with a bouncer at the door
and a rifle in his hand
and part of me thinks that's true
but part of me thinks it's not
everyone tries so hard
and I don't do enough
I'm not a man like that
I'm not a man like that
I'm not a man like that
I'm not a man like that
I wish that I was
but it's never enough
I wish that I was
but it's never enough, it's never enough

come down to the basement now
ah, everybody’s waiting for you
hear an absolutely ear-piercing collection of sounds
that totally shatter the room
all the string lights and Monday nights
spent carefully crafting a tune
the poster’s in the parking garage
next up we’re making the nightly news
this girl stands at the side of the room
just awkwardly adjusting her bra
she’ll mouth the words but cannot muster
quite enough courage to sing them along
and everybody surrounding
has eyes for only themselves
What is this beautiful world
it’s a brand new, very fresh hell

ripple

in the lake behind
where I live
there’s a big white swan
he flaps his wings
with no concern
for the waves he makes
for the things he breaks
for the ripple
I wanna live like that
when he moves around
the water lets him
but when he opens his mouth
he has no songs to sing
and when he flaps his wings
the air bends for him
but when he tries to sing
there’s nothing but boring
I don’t really know what I want
I don’t really know what I want
I don’t really know what I want
I don’t really know what I want
