Two Fish

There was a school of fish
Dressed in blues
Until the day they were eaten
Save for two
One then said to the other
It's funny, you know
I believe that the lucky ones
Were just consumed whole
As they made their way
Across the bay
They found love in each other
In all the wrong ways
With such empty eyes
Two barren souls
For a fish that eats its feelings
Would never be full

Indoors

Left alone a week or more
Been a broken bird who has never flown
Won’t hurt to say I’m locked away,
Killed my phone again
Move along with all your friends
When they come around, it never really ends
So you’ve come to think that I couldn’t care less
How’d you guess?
And I don’t
I've been awake too long
In the shadows of doubt
I feel the world go by
As you head home, you plead “just take it slow”
Guess I’ll stay
Just another week indoors
Move along with all you’ve got
Don’t lose it now, or you'll miss your shot
Why waste a day
That you hold so dear
And leave it to rot
Hell, I'd say
I’ve been awake too long
In the shadows of doubt
I feel the world go by
As you head home, you plead “just take it slow”
Guess I’ll stay
Just another week indoors
I’ve been awake too long
In the shadows of doubt
I feel the world go by
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
I feel the world go by
I’ve been awake too long
In the shadows of doubt
I feel the world go by
It'll be alright, it'll be alright

Self-Pity

Let the love out, let the love come awake
Gonna spin right round, till the feeling fades
Let the shame go, let the blame roll on me
Whatever you’d need just to feed the beast
On the crest of a wave
Where ya goin’, were ya been?
Are you meandering along
Hate yourself another day
As you cry, as you hid
Until the tears were gone
Let the love out, let the love overtake
Gonna hit you back down, right on your face
Let the shame go, let the hate roll away
Pick yourself up, fight another day
On the crest of a wave
Where ya goin’ where ya been
Are you meandering along
Hate yourself another day
As you cry, as you hid
Until the tears were
Gone and wasted
Gone and wasted
On the crest of a wave
Where ya goin’, where ya been
Are you meandering along
Hate yourself another day
As you cry, as you hid
Until the tears were
Gone and wasted
Honey, from years you’ve tasted
And it seems to be to your dismay
That the pain is real, and it never goes away
On the crest of a wave
Where ya goin’, where ya been
Are you meandering along
Hate yourself another day
As you cry, as you hid
Until the tears were gone

Photographs

Learned to tune up all my heartstrings
Played them to the brink
Strung out like before
Spilling out across my secrets
Nothing new to say
When a face just says it all
Photographs when we were younger
Memories I’ll always hold
Hoping history repeats itself
Cause I know we'll still be laughing when we’re old
And no matter where we go
I’m never gonna dig my heel
Never gonna let you down
Beg, burden, lie, or steal
Can you hear them play our song
Off your blown out radio
Singin’ it back to me
Took the wheel up ninety-five
Maplewood to Portland Maine
Climbed a mountain just to get real high
I could have sworn I heard you calling my name
Down on Main Street there’s a hole
Biggest one you’ve ever seen
No one’s sure where that hole came from
But then you said “I’m jumping in, come follow me”
Photographs when we were younger
Memories I’ll always hold
Hoping history repeats itself
Cause I know we’d still be laughing when we’re old
And as we woke within a dream
Where all of the days seem to fade
Within the haze, where the colors should be
And if you ever feel afraid
Just hold my hand
And we will venture on
To places there,
You and me
And no matter where we go
I’m never gonna dig my heel
Never gonna I let you down
Beg, burden, lie, or steal
Can you hear them play our song
Off your blown out radio
Singin’ it back to me
