Careless

|

Careless
Walkin' middle finger
Be a little less shameless
Tell yourself whatever you need
To keep away regret
And all that's better left unsaid
I was here
And I remain
Steadfast
Watching time pass

Inside
03:30
|
|||
I don't complain about rain in the American West
Because these days you never know just how hard it can get
And I've been losing sleep thinking 'bout all my regrets
Because you can't help dreaming 'bout all that you've kept
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
You know nothing can escape from a heartbreaker
Like a black hole they never let you get away from them
And you can follow them down the alleyways of your mind
But beware cause you never know just what you might find
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
You see through me
I see through you
I don't know
Don't know what to do
You see through me
I see through you
I don't know
Don't know what to do
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Oh no no no

Revenge City
03:56
|

If I made a movie
And called it "Revenge City"
Would you watch it
Would you go?
Based on the title
I probably would
That's what I thought!
I knew that you would
I knew that you would
I knew that you would
'Cause no one knows
What this place is
If you talk about it
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
And it might be the death of me
This moving from point A to point B
Locked on endless concrete
Burning fossils
I see no way
No way out
And I can't walk
To get a fix
To fix my mind
To ease my mind
And if memory serves
It doesn't serve me
'Cause no one knows
What this place is
If you talk about it
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
And I can't enjoy the heat
Because I worry it's too much
I can't enjoy the heat
Because I worry it's too much
And if memory serves
It doesn't serve me
"Total Recall"
On TV
"Total recall"
And I recall nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

Only A Fool
04:18
|
|||
I'm ashamed to be an American
I'm proud to be an American
Twisted contradictions deep inside
Like the double helix of my life
Freedom and oppression intertwined
I don't know why
Can't see why
All the time
I scream at the wind
Don't know why
Can't see why
Every time
I scream at the wind
Only a fool
Only a fool
Only a fool
Screams at the wind
Only a fool
Only a fool
Only a fool
I live with Texas Taliban
Jihadi Catholics in the sands
Reactionary oblivion
Disaster is as disaster does
Some say oppression has its dividends
I don't know why
Can't see why
All the time
I scream at the wind
Don't know why
Can't see why
Every time
I scream at the wind
Only a fool
Only a fool
Only a fool
Screams at the wind
Only a fool
Only a fool
Only a fool
Rationalizations in my head
No more immune to existential dread
Great social psychic suffering
Every reprieve false security
Event horizon around the bend
I don't know why
Can't see why
All the time
I scream at the wind
Don't know why
Can't see why
Every time
I scream at the wind
Only a fool
Only a fool
Only a fool
Screams at the wind

Shit Talkin'
04:16
|
|||
I know from the side of the road
Listening to "Something's On"
The horizon goes beyond where I can see
I know from the empty lot
Where we made our plans
Where we lost and had them dashed
I know the price of shit talkin'
And bullshit walkin'
Open eyes with a lighter touch
And now I know of clenched fists in the morning
And grinding teeth at night
And I know moving up in the world and getting what you need
A summer cutoff and what that means
I know the price of shit talkin'
And bullshit walkin'
Open eyes with a lighter touch
I know the price of shit talkin'
And bullshit walkin'
Open eyes with a lighter touch

Let It Rip
03:26
|
|||
Let it rip
Why would it ever stop?
Just another nuclear winter morning
Another afternoon apocalypse
I could stare straight at the sun
And I'd be fine
How can you dream when there's no more future?
No more time?
No more pretense
No more guessing
This is the end of the line
I can forgive the past
But not the present
Were blind to connections
That make us part of a whole
From the future effects
Decisions taken today
We blunder into wrath
We are our own nemesis
So few dissidents
There's no innocence
At what cost
Did we burn it all away?

Parochial Life
04:58
|
|||
You cut off my beard
Well I don't care
I got bigger concerns around here
Word gets out
Word gets around
What goes down
Might come around on you
Aw parochial life
Reaching for these local heights
Yeah parochial life
Like existing out of spite
Is it going
Going to be alright?
Spending the rest of your days in this parochial life?
With idealisms and expectations from
The age of anomaly
Left with their jealousies
Aw parochial life
Reaching for these local heights
Yeah parochial life
Like existing out of spite
In parochial life
You could be happy just to be here
You could be happy just to be here
Bodies on Everest takes the sting out of it
Decisions, outcomes
Consequences to live with
A life of privilege
And Betty Ford clinics
It's all the same
No matter what you do with it
Aw parochial life
Reaching for these local heights
Yeah parochial life
Like existing out of spite
Like existing out of sight
Out of mind
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of sight

All The Same
04:28
|

Would I stay?
How could I know?
Would I break?
If you were to go?
Run away
Run in circles
All the same
To my ego
Wish I could sit back
Light up a joint and enjoy it
All the same
Wish I didn't have
Didn't have this empathy deficit
All the same
Wish I didn't have
Didn't have this voice in the back of my head
All the same
Wish I could sing
So opaque the words disintegrate in the air
All the same
Wish I could take
Wish I could take
Your word for it
Would I stay?
How could I know?
Would I break?
If you were to go?
Run away
Run in circles
All the same
To my ego
All the same
All the same

The Fall
05:03
|
|||
On my way to Palisade Falls
Feel the mania coming on
Where the pavement ends
That's where I begin
Give me everything
Give me everything
Off the beaten path
Lost without a map
Managed to disconnect
And catch my breath
Away from everything
Away from everything
Find myself spinning
Ever faster now
And letting go of the brakes
Wondering how long it will take
To let myself be free
Of everything
Of everything
