Outside Man

Don't shake hands with an outside man
Who'll run you down and run you out
Don't look down on our small towns
They'll vote you out and vote you down
I wondered where you were when I was on my back
Don't shake hands with an outside man
Who'll run you down and run you out
Don't look down on our small towns
They'll vote you out and vote you down
I wondered where you were when I was on my back
Don't look down

Creeping Up
02:48
|
|

Face it you're never gonna matter
And even if you fake it you'd still be a disaster
The worst case has always seemed to come true
a problem too difficult to live through
Something's always creeping up on you
and once you get there it won't be as cool
Have you been looking for a reasonable answer
It's not here- it's nowhere you'd remember
Cold hands are shaking at the thought of
It not being the same way that it once was
Something's always creeping up on you
and once you get there it won't be as cool

I sit through motion pictures that pick apart my brain
This recent motion sickness, a badge of growing pains
I wear it on me
It wears down on me
But it's sustainable
Making me stable
It's not a pretty picture, it keeps me up all day
A log of useless scripture, a growing list of names
I wear it on me
It wears down on me
But it's sustainable
Making me stable
Making me stable

Before It Starts
03:27
|
|

Put my trust in the liberal arts
It's over before it starts
I know I can't make plans if I understand
Where I'd be with a real degree, if you'd wanna be with me
The deal is I'm feeling rough
Think I've had it with this stuff
I want to be so sincere
But I just sink when you're near
And it gets worse for every mile
I might be cursed
It's so worthwhile
Special Curse on my sinking heart
It's over before it starts
Let down enough, someone's gonna pull the plug
Either way, I'm out of luck
Standing still and I'm getting stuck
If I don't get a real degree then I won't have anything
I want to be so sincere
But I just sink when you're near
And it gets worse for every mile
I might be cursed
It's so worthwhile
Breaking down by a beaten path
I still can't do the math
Your touch is so secret
From distance still reeling
And I'm losing the feeling, same way it's always been
Let down, just take it
Let down all the expectations
I want to be so sincere
But I just sink when you're near
And it gets worse for every mile
I might be cursed
It's so worthwhile

Look Down
01:11
|
|
||
Don't get stuck in a rut
Don't cover up your face when you're walking away, you look down when you lie
It's no disguise, you're down all the time
Don't give up on your self
Don't worry if you feel like you're somebody else
There's more time than you'd think, get something to drink and out of the house

Popeye
03:47
|
|

As you slip into the night while watching with the lights out
Oh so restless,
I heard the message:
"Keep it up your sleeve now"
It's not what it seems now
Keep your patience, you're still waiting
Waiting for a sign to be calm
Used to feel like nothing was wrong
Take a picture of your life now as you turn the lights down
You keep on flinching
You keep your distance
Sit and watch that paint dry, lonely way to get by
Keep your patience, you're still waiting
Waiting for a sign to be calm
Used to feel like nothing was wrong

Savor
03:25
|
|
||
Grab the fruit that's hanging low
It keeps you on the TV show
You stand there, I stand here
Missed the meaning, ask again
No surprises in the end
You stand there, I stand here
I don't wanna savor
It's hard to keep the pressure on
When you're in the city and I'm out beyond
I'm nowhere until I go there
Leave your home and feel the tide
Pull up to the park and ride
You're nowhere until I go there
I don't wanna savor

Better Off Dead
02:08
|
|

God damn it
Nothing's gonna change and if I'm worthless know that I deserve it
I'm gonna wait around to die because I'm lonely
Lonely and embarrassed
What's keeping me so up at night
is it mortality or my genetics?
These days don't bother to ask why, once it's been answered later I'll forget it
Now
I'm fucking up somehow and leaving without routes
Running out of doubts if I'm better off right now
I'm stuck in two places at once
Superposition, Cheery dispossession
Can't wait for weeks to become days where everything turns into an obsession
Admitting this can be so tough and I'd prefer if I don't have to do it
Better off if I'd try to stop
I can believe it's really getting ruined
Now
I'm fucking up somehow and leaving without routes
I'm running out of doubt if I'm better off right now

Imaginary Prize
02:56
|
|
||
How could you open your eyes
When you're set on an imaginary prize
When you touch her with the palm of your hand
You're near her but you're far from where she stands
Looking for an outlet, is that really what you need right now?
What you haven't found yet is there's nothing that you need right now
How could you open your mind
When you're stagnant and you're only losing time
When you're with her you're a man of a different kind
And without her you're just falling more behind
Looking for an outlet, is that really what you need right now?
What you haven't found yet is there's nothing that you need right now
Looking for an outlet

Hold This Side Close
03:24
|
|
||
Another idea from the partition
Ease of embrace fills the old prescriptions
Turn into dust
How does the rust get here
Each generation is more sadistic
Gaping hole hold this side close
Hand for hand eye for eye
Gaping hole hold this side close
Gaping hole hold this side
The disembodied
Willingly whispered
Unholy copy of someone's sister
Do what you must now, who can you trust here
It's not what you think, it's not about her
Gaping hole hold this side close
Gaping hole hold this side
Gaping hole hold this side close
Hand for hand eye for eye
Gaping hole hold this side close
Hand for hand eye for eye
Gaping hole hold this side close
Gaping hole hold this side

From Distance
03:28
|
|

Stay inside and stay aware there's echo chambers everywhere
Try your best to stay alert and buck the trends that make you hurt
But you really won't
Try and try you'll always fail
With open arms and try to greet the other
With open ears and try to hear the other
But you really won't
Try and try you'll always fail
With open arms and try to greet the other
With open ears and try to hear the other
With open arms and try to greet the other
With open ears and try to hear the other side
But you really won't
With open arms and try to greet the other
With open ears and try to hear the other
With open arms and try to greet the other
With open ears and try to hear the other side

Never Coming Back
02:51
|
|
||
I'm so tired of who I am
Force myself to accept the plan
Cut me off a little slack
Say I'm never coming back
Going nowhere is all I am
Force myself to accept the plan
Think it would be nice to know, I think it would be nice to know
Say I'm never coming back

Sticky Hands

Outside man
You're the friend I never knew I had
You're my friend I wish you really weren't
But I'm holding on to find your worth
Someday you'll learn
Then I'll be coming over
Outside man
Do it like you know you can
Do it like you wish you weren't
everything you hate about her
Then I'll be coming over
