what's the use in not making sense
I could bring you compliments
you fell in love with making it work
but never asked where the feelings were
how could something that means much less
bring you so much confidence
all the dreams that i want to stay
fill me with goals that i can't relate
and all that cold from my frozen hate
just to bring it back to me
then my lips got dry
there's no more shaking in my head
when i think that life
is just a strange repeat of some feelings
and i wanna die
when i cannot control
all my stupid thoughts say i'm
wrong about a lot of things now
all the traits you got from your mom
they don't come out till your all alone
talking to a cigarette
always so anxious to be having sex
and i thought that your waist could seem
right from the side of me
of course you know i'm
wrong about a lot of things now
wrong about a lot of things now that you're eternally quiet
all seems to move so much faster now
to concentrate on calming down
i sowed a record to my father's house
now can't decide what to write about
what's the use in getting upset
i ain't seen any problems yet
big enough to be moving out
we relate to the common house
let's celebrate all my frozen doubts
if i mean it

how could you know
maybe i should move
maybe in with you
i been checking prices for a bus
though i told you once
you don't have my love
i was young enough to not give a fuck
how could you know
when you're living alone
buried in snow
how could you know
six years ago
there's no joy
in my throat
when i sing too low
when i'm bored
my love grows
but when we sat on the porch i was scared
i thought real love was too much
for my minimal hands
i thought of calling you upstairs
but you slept in my sister's room
and went back to manhattan
alone
now all i wanna do is make plans
and touch you with my minimal hands
i feel lazy with my song writing
so i turn to good vibrations
in the summer we should try again
and the reasons will be different
never to rely on common sense
would be perfect

Alchemy

often times i can not stay asleep
if you don't keep the cold off of me
all my life i was sure that you would leave
if you don't take all my energy
all the while you went on tour in the 70's
your older bro was in the house smoking weed
and when your dad was on the phone with the police
he told your mom that you should all be scared of me
i come undone
at the thought of waking up
without anyone
often times i can not think of anything
when you wear the clothes
but you don't know what they mean
all your life you've been shown everything
you were turning shit into gold
alchemy
you want a future filled with kids
and old and rusted promises
you'd rather shed off all your gifts
than be the one who is patient
you got a closet filled with skins
and old and rusted skeletons
you take insignificance
and cut it out until it's perfect
i was the first to open my eyelids
you rehearse complaining to Jesus
all of the time you thought you were working
if you want to i could keep you up all hours
talking 'bout who
should be filled with love
and flowers
i got confused
i thought it was all for mother
though they haunt you
i won't be your slave no longer
i gotten used to
feelings that don't change when you're older
i just sat through another boring day in the future
in the living room
the only way to sleep hungover
i thought you knew
all the simple ways that matter
you say you could use
another couple weeks to think it over
i get confused
i thought you would change
much sooner

you wanna try new clothes
to offset my fading mind
all of uses
we found for music
i thought i'd overflow
now all of the changing tones
but i think that you sound fine
stay on the surface
save it for christmas
i wanna let it go
you're so pissed when the days move slow
oh yes of course it's
very important
you took the power
off of my hands
just an extension
too sick to sleep in
you make it easy
to live without plans
i thought that you would know
soon as i had out grown
you can clap for your second home
all on your own
not that you'd ever notice
not that you'd ever have kids
and it's not when you take my autograph
and you spin and coat it that
oh i miss this
all my feelings
that i wanted
to just keep in
i'm reminded
of your calmness
fuck the future
where's the light end?
now i'm so afraid
when i travel
i leave you too much
time to unravel
there were thoughts
when we were young
but we don't talk anymore
you thought of God
when you were stoned
and now he's not anymore

House Pride

I woke up still drunk on a screened in back porch
where i thought of how much i hate thinking about divorce
lost in conversation
whatever feels like you again
then twelve beers later i thought he was gonna cry
said "where did all that beauty go while i was doing time?"
beauty comes to those who sit
beauty left while i was sleeping in
we read the future out the palm of your hand
you were turned from a monument to a backwoods man
and all of the compliments you don't understand
left us drunk in a soccer field at 4 a.m.
and i wonder if i look like him
i woke up still young to a new record label
and i thought what i'd done just to make it all tamable
in all those compliments i don't understand
that left me in a soccer field at your command
till two drinks later
i left like a father
just to act like nothing happens
but it does
and even in the winter
with my eye on the calendar
i wonder if i look like him
i woke up still strung out from the night before
so i watched what i sung for the rest of that tour
now we're afraid of what exists
we used to belong to churches
there's no use in hiding the fact sometimes i get bored
when i hate thinking how much i hate thinking of how i'm yours
i have not come back down since
