i surprise myself to say it
that all you said was true, in the end
but would it really have been better
not to have to learn at all?
don't make me listen, i know
you didn't tell her
i know you didn't tell her, i know

ちょっとお願いがあるんだ
潰して、僕の頭
泣いたところで、行かなきゃ
やめるわけにゃ行かない、大変だよな
でも、いつか、戻れる
友達も、家族もいる。
最近、あまり出かけない
やっぱり、幽霊みたい
考えすぎる、そして寝たい
起きる時に、動けない
続けられるか、分かんない
死にたいことは、言えない。
(my translation)
I have a little request
could you bash in my head?
Even if I cry, I still have to go
It's not like I can quit, isn't that tough?
But, someday, I'll be able to return
my family and my friends will be there (/are here)
Lately, I haven't been out much
I guess I'm like a ghost
I think too much, then I want to sleep
When I wake up, I can't move
I don't know if I can go on
Wanting to die is something I cannot say

Hearing Things

cars drive down the road
they make noise
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
birds fly through the air
they make a pattern
i can see them coming
i can see them coming
i can see them coming
they're so excited to see me
they make noise
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
they're coming up the stairs
they make noise
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
it's almost time for me to go
it's almost time
i can feel it coming
i can feel it coming
i can feel it coming
spirits buzzing in the wires
they make noise
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
i can hear them coming
they're inside the plumbing
i'm afraid
i can feel them coming
i can feel them coming
i can feel them coming
when they think they're alone
i can hear them
i can hear them talking, i can hear them crying, i can hear them moving, i can hear them breathing

stuck at the airport
been here since 1pm
waited eight hours to get
on a redeye
a redeye to boston
a redeye to boston
a redeye to boston
a redeye to boston
second time thru security
flagged my backpack
feared it was the weed gummies but
it was just water
so the agent was the last one who ever held that bottle
it was kinda ugly but it had this one cool sticker on it
just because of some weather on the other side of the country
waited in a line behind a million maskless people
so i called my mom, and i called my dad
still had a few hours left to kill
i just spent it watching all the other people waiting
(fiddle solo)
i'm still thinkin about
that woman with her 3 kids
"this isn't my city," she said, "got no place to stay"
but the airlines don't even pay for hotel rooms anymore
just like in 'I.G.Y.' i dream a future with high-speed rail
stuck at the airport
been here since 1pm
waited eight hours to get
on a redeye
a redeye to boston
a redeye to boston
a redeye to boston
a redeye to boston

Laser Eyes

only a moment, i wait for one
the [bee/beat] comes
just know that you've won
it's so yellow and red, a negative sun
the tide goes, "breathe like me"
i'll inhale it in and inhale it out
it's one four one four one four one / won for one for one for one / ???
'cause i got laser eyes
burning down buildings
burning down the precinct
burning down the blue cross
burning down the law firm
burning down the real estate
burning down the golf club
burning down the private school
burning down the government buildings, government buildings
buildings with my eyes

sitting here, hands around my neck
hurts but i like it like that
i don't care what she thinks
in this moment, i'm your plaything
measured ice drips from the clouds
it's beautiful, i see it now
like a sunspot in the rain, we do the same thing again & again
alpenglow, cockatiel sun
morning moon, in a dream
i don't care what anybody else says
it's just a door, open it!
wildflowers reach for the clouds
it's beautiful, i see it now
in a telltale fantasy, we live our vegetarian carnality
(instrumental verse)
got it down
commiserated for the second time now
like a child, i hold my surface in high esteem now
though i trace the thorny path myself
where it leads, show to someone else
the page won't turn, so i tear
to dust return, from dust become

How To Be Weak
02:44
|
|||
|
sun shines bright in my blue eyes
her name in green on a truck going by
just a coincidence, but still i'm
reminded of how i had to say goodbye
looking out at the city from behind
it's amazing the infinity of skylines
a multitude lives in everyone
and i'm just the same
life is like a song
it just keeps going until it ends
and when will i apologize
for all those things that still keep me up at night?
i guess it's good that i keep movin on
but nothing ever feels like it's done
'invincible' wasn't the right word,
it's more that i had to learn how to be weak
playing games just to pass the time
but some weeks i'm so tired i could die
recovery isn't linear, i remind myself again
life is like a song
it just keeps going until it ends
and when will i apologize
for all those things that still keep me up at night?

good times for a change
see, the life i've had could make a good man bad
so please, please, please, let me get what i want
lord knows it would be the first time
haven't had a dream in a long time
see, the life i've had could make a good man bad
so for once in my life, let me get what i want
lord knows it would be the first time
lord knows it would be the last time

Rain

she's got more money than she can shake a stick at
she doesn't know how to help herself
but she won't learn, she's afraid of the world
she pays people to wipe her mouth
i got more sorrows than i can shake a stick at
they surround me like a shark-filled moat
but i don't need your help, your therapy
i got myself, i got myself
you got more problems than you can shake a stick at
they eat you from the inside out
but you're untreatable, they've tried to put you down
no matter how hard they try, you still won't change
muddy puddles after torrential rains
soakin up my feelings
come back rain, so i can cry again
come back rain, come back rain
