Easy Fit

Look around for a moment, do you know everyone by name?
Probably you do, you see them everyday
Unfortunately, time continues to move
The beat goes on
You put your seeds into the ground
‘Cause you believe that they’ll be found
When you arise to claim the crown
The greatest achievement, they just can’t believe it
From little old you
How you spread your wings and flew
While they sat to wait
Days like elastic expandable waistbands
Easy fit
But so hard to get out of it
But you reached the top
Your brass ring is coming, I got expedited shipping
Don’t let names and faces slip away
Did you forget them?
Any hour, any day
But what is time anyway?
Little clicks from a clock
They will also keep going until the day that it stops
We’re collecting all the memories now
So that you’ll have them later, when it’s all over

All I want to do is leave the house
I don't even care with whom or how
just call the car, get me to the door
All I want to is leave the house
All I want to is leave the house
I don't even care how I get out
I thought it would be fun but this party's all done
All I want to is leave the house
All I want to is leave the house
I've been thinking it's time to check out
they've got board games at the bar and acoustic guitars
All I want to is leave the house
I don't know how I got here, but now I just want to disappear
I don't know how I got here, I just want a new atmosphere
what's that?
no, it's okay
you don't have to come with me
really, it's fine
I'll just go by myself
All I want to is leave this place
I might even try the fire escape
I can't find my pants and the kitchen's full of ants
I can't feel my face
I don't know how I got here, but now I just want to disappear
All I want to is leave the house
I don't know how I got here, I just want a new atmosphere
All I want to is leave the house

Secret Friends

Why don’t we all sing a song for our secret friends?
The ones we know we love but never see
Why don’t we all sing a song for our secret friends?
The ones we watch every day but we’ll never meet
Why don’t we all sing a song for our secret friends?
The ones who make us cry in front of TV
Why don’t we all sing a song for our secret friends?
The ones who sailed away across the sea
Why don’t we all sing a song for our secret friends?
The ones who moved away to get a degree
Why don’t we all sing a song for our secret friends?
The ones who set up tents under the trees
Why don’t we all sing a song for our secret friends?
Constructing a picture of life for digital screens

There are two kinds of people In this world
There are those who think that there are
Two kinds of people in this world
And those that don’t
You can say that again
I wasn’t listening
Please, could you say that again
There are three kinds of people in this house
But two of them are moving out
There’s four more at the door
But they all want to live on the top floor
You can say that again
I wasn’t listening
Could you say that again
I wasn’t listening
Please, could you say that again
Scales are falling, falling from your eyes

In The Air

Things are fine, everything’s online
Decent. Acceptable.
We know our roles, we’re comfortable
Sufficient. Acceptable.
Make the most it, keep it legit
Satisfactory. Acceptable.
Oh I think we’re going dark
So could you press restart
And wake me up
Civilized, honest and polite
Decent. Acceptable.
Likeable when you’re virtual
Sufficient. Acceptable.
Can you see me?
It’s all dark
Can you hear me?
You’re on mute
Am I coming through?
There’s an echo
Am I coming through?
You’re breaking up
Oh I think we’re going dark
So could you press restart
And wake me up
Oh, when you we’re breaking through
And I was still on mute
Could you still hear?
Oh, distorted telephones
Echoing microphones
It’s in the air
Oh, and when you reach the brink
Can you send me a link to bring me there
It’s in the air
It’s all up in the air

Assistant Manager Blues

Take this nametag and carry it to the manager
Tell her I’m gone, tell her I’m gone, tell her I’m gone
Take this visor to the shift supervisor
Tell him I’m gone, tell him I’m gone, you can tell him I’m gone
This is the day job that killed my ambition
But it won’t kill me, won’t kill me, won’t kill me
This is the day job that killed the manager
But it won’t kill me, won’t kill me, won’t kill me
His heart stopped in the driver’s seat of his Hyundai
Next to a snow bank, out in the street
He was out in the street
His heart stopped his no sign of trouble
After a double
But it won’t kill me, won’t kill me.

Ankleweights
03:42
|
|

She woke up with the sun
To go for a run around town
She put her ankleweights on
Just to keep her close to the ground
But why you want to weigh yourself down?
She’s puts her ankleweights on
So she can take them off and say “ahhh”
Why weigh yourself down?
Why carry every stone that you found?
Why weigh yourself down
Don’t you know that there’s plenty of weight to go around
Hear the Velcro rip
She pulled away from the crowd
And in just a few steps
She found herself floating in the clouds
But why you want to weigh yourself down?
Keep those ankleweights off
Your better without
Why weigh yourself down?
Cut all the strings that are holding you down
Why weigh yourself down?
Don’t wait for a chance to be free to come around
Do it now
She took her ankleweights off – ahhh
She took her ankleweights off – ahhh

Fly paper moon
It will be over soon, I know
The lights are off
And no one’s out
This town is burning to the ground
With no flames, and no smoke
It’s going on too long – is this a joke?
Fly paper moon
It will be over soon, I know
Don’t make me come up there
Let’s renegotiate this deal
Don’t make me come up there
Don’t make me tell you how I feel
It’s so cold, every day
The wind is knocking, I think its got something to day
Get out, stay away
Go on back inside, maybe it will be okay
Don’t make me come up there
There’s no pilot at the wheel
Don’t make me come up there
This time it’s all just too surreal
Don’t make me come up there
Don’t say you’re too honest to steal
Don’t make me come up there
Don’t make me tell you how I feel
Don’t make me come up there
Let’s renegotiate this deal
Don’t make me come up there
Don’t say words that cannot heal
Fly paper moon
It will be over soon, I know

I put myself in a jar
Just to see if I’m real
I did it right in my car
Sent it off somewhere far
From here
I didn’t think about again, until I got a call
Contact tracer
Why did it happen to me?
Using their satellites
They follow me through my phone
One oh two Fahrenheit
Tell me to go on back home
Tell me to stand on the dot
Other side of the glass
Get ready for the sot
Then you can show me your pass
Contact tracer
Why did it happen to me?
I can’t keep it all straight
I can’t remember it all
You’ve got to isolate
Or you just might get a call
Contact tracer
Why did it happen to me?
Why did it happen to me?

Unreasonable Rhyme
03:05
|
|

|
Golden spirals of circular logic
Phrases written in unreasonable rhyme
Highways streaming, flee to the border
On the order of unreadable line
Standing stiffly like a cartoon mortician
No contrition for a victimless crime
Push the button it comes right to the surface
You’re making up nervous, the alarm bells all chime
Sad eyes, just look at your lover
Just another defensible crime
Every day the beast gets his hay
Speak not his name and his name will pass by
No one asked me, but here’s my suggestion
Never question unreasonable rhyme
Don’t to learn it if you already know it
Just confirm, watch you numbers climb
Sad eyes, just look at your lover
Just another defensible crime
Every day the beast gets his hay
Speak not his name and his name will pass by

Conception Bay

Now that the money’s all gone
What the fuck will we do now?
We’ve lost all our friends
Overextended and sick from the bends
On the wrong side of the law
What the fuck did he do now?
We’re all mops and brooms
Sick from consuming like hungry baboons
Can you feel me breaking away
Like an iceberg through Conception Bay
Are we rising up?
Perhaps we got too far from shore (right)
Perhaps we should set a new course (should’ve thought of that before)
Admit that we failed, can’t change the wind so just trim the sails
It feels like the end of the world (no!)
At least it’s the end of the day (pour yourself a drink, boy)
The older the crab, the tougher the claws but he’ll never get caught
Can you feel me breaking away
Like an iceberg through Conception Bay
Are we rising up?
