Deadlines Are Disasters

You think I’m looking for a dream?
I’m looking forward to the time I spend asleep
What dont you understand?
Ive got a ten year plan that suits me well.
I don’t work too hard, don’t get worked up when things they fall apart
We’re all rearranged, words on a page that get erased.
So try being type B in a world that’s so type A
I get jaded when I think about the issues
Do I need to sort them out?
If you’re digging the scenery, who’s to say if this is where you’re supposed to be?
If this is where its at, then I won’t fight back, and I wont collapse, beneath your will
I can learn to sort out what I shouldn’t be losing sleep about
pressure to be somewhere other than here right now
cuz when it hits the fan, I watch it fly away in slow motion,
You shrug it off saying nothing at all,
while I’m thinking the same thing.
So try being type B in a world thats so type A
I get jaded when I think about the issues
Do I need to sort them out, today?
Go ahead and ask me for a fraction of myself and more,
but don’t expect too much
On and on this rat that we race after
Oh please excuse the laughter
there used to be a time when I’d do
anything to make the day go faster,
but deadlines are disasters
and these days id rather get it right by..
Being type B in world thats so type A
Try being type B in a world thats so type A
I get jaded when i think about the issues
Do i need to sort them out, today?
Go ahead and ask me for a fraction of myself and more,
but don’t expect too much.

Seriously, I Don't Mind

Can I borrow that button-down shirt for tomorrow please?
I’ve got some really great first impressions to fake.
They’ll see whatever they wanted to see.
I wake up and then I’m gone. Do some stuff when I come home from work.
Make believe that nothing’s wrong. I flip the switch and I open up the door.
Mice scatter as the lights go on. The electric bill is ten dollars more.
Thought they’d shut it off last month cuz’ I’ve got space heaters on the kitchen floor.
Sometimes I don’t mind, you learn to live without a certain sense of something I can realign myself inside.
I don’t think about it.
Most times I really don’t mind.
(everything is)
I forgot that bread in the toaster for close to an hour now.
I’ve got a nickel to my name for every time you listen to me.
I’ll be whatever you want me to be as long all that you want me to be is something that I want to be.
Sometimes I sleep til’ one and when I do - reflect on the times that I was young enough to understand life is only life.
I first realized that you don’t need to stress about those things.
I fill a notebook with these words that I tell myself everyday.
Sometimes I don’t mind, you learn to live without a certain sense of something I can realign myself inside.
I don’t think about it.
Most times I really don’t mind.
Everything is fine

Attention Deficit

I can’t comprehend how I walk on these same streets again and again,
but I only seem to notice the loudest noise
Behold the brightest of neon billboards
(We’re) Totally made up of peaks and milestones
Subtleties upon subtleties to soon it seems are vanishing and all the while I
Keep hearing it said that it’s never too late for you to get what you paid for - I’m all out of attention and my mind could use a break
My brain tends to make a big thing out of nothing
I’m all out of attention.
Well can I relearn how to re-live?
when I can’t retain even a fraction of it
and days, days go by and I’ll turn it all around.
I Keep hearing it said that it’s never too late for you to get what you paid for - I’m all out of attention and my mind could use a break.
My brain tends to make a big thing out of nothing
I’m all out of attention.
Do I make a habit of hollowing out what’s inside?
Life is the book that I’ve gotta read in between the lines.
I keep hearing it said that it’s never too late for you to get what you paid for - I’m all out of attention and my mind could use a break.
My brain tends to make a big thing out of nothing
I’m all out of attention
All out of attention.

First Day Back

Can't say what you're thinking
Can't convey all those intentions
Like a turn signal that doesn't blink
The moves that you're about to make
With eyes down, walking straight
Forever in that awkward stage of life
Moving forward
Can't you ever learn to just be open 'cause
I know that nobody else cares
Their thoughts were probably never there.
I know you and you know me
I know my friends so can't you see
That I'm not trying to be rude
I've come to the conclusion that
I'm through with awkward small talk
There's a tiny revelation in
the words that you're not saying
We're not strangers
There's no shame in this situation.
(I know that nobody else cares)
I know you and you know me
I know my friends so can't you see
That I'm not trying to be rude
I've come to the conclusion that
I'm through with awkward small talk.
There's the kid that we used to know
We both look the other way
'cause we've got nothing to show.
I'm through with awkward small talk
The silence has already begun.

Favors

I strolled along
Until it all became
Became a one way path
How could I throw this all away?
Well, I'm glad you asked.
You don't make friends.
That's just where were at.
And all you've spent is all that you shouldn't
You take what you can get
I've seen people like you
Take miles out of just one inch.
Sizing up which one will take the hit.
You don't make friends
Favors are what you collect.
Made it a point to make it out
Cuz' I found out that you bury the bridges you burn down.
You donate threats like yesterdays old shoes.
No one's impressed with all that you can do
With nothing left to lose
I've seen people like you
Take miles out of just one inch.
Sizing up which one will take the hit.
You don't make friends
Favors are what you collect.
You don't make friends.

Sketches
03:44

That one nursery rhyme that sticks in my mind
The only one I remember
In fact I arrived to conclusions
Before I began
Ashes to ashes like beautiful sand
That's not the only thing that I fear
I've toyed with the notion of going back to school.
I've spent the best part of a decade drawing sketches
Yet I'm still a blank canvas
Instead I'll cover myself in band-aids
In a preemptive effort to save my skin.
If you're anything like me you've never felt more at home
When you're as far away from it as possible
Now I'm bringing it back to that birthday I had
The only one I remember
in fact I expected nothing
but you were there
you remembered
you cared.
Now that I pushed you away
Does that explain how I feel nothing
Nothing and for what reason
and why I approach
life just looking for ways to risk it
Taking every chance I can grab
and never looking back
At times that I ran
I'd close my eyes
Forgetting all about them in the end.
Yeah, I've spent the best part of a decade drawing sketches
Yet I'm still a blank canvas
Life, no reason to ignore it
Or even be afraid of things.
when you try to make sense
Out of something you just can't it only matters that you tried and tried again.

Check please,
Hold one vomiting of words.
The right ones almost never can be found
When cute girls like you come around.
What if we have such little common ground?
I don't think that I could take the hit.
I once spoke quicker words than this.
I'm getting quieter
I was misunderstood
And never said a word.
It's too late
The silence was too long and I don't think that I could take the hit
Because I used to think that I had it all together
does it matter that I-
I once spoke quicker words than this.
I'm getting quieter
I was misunderstood
And never said a word.
Some days are better than
Some other days prior to when I was misunderstood
And never said a word.
When I never had enough time to say anything that I-

Boomerang
Opportunities that you have thrown away
Will come back around to you someday
It can't be that selfish to live for yourself sometimes
You've been believing in everybody else's lies.
Out of mind
Out of sight
You'll get there when the time is right.
Things that last
Some people rush to get them on this beaten path they
Go, and go in, and
Get there fast.
I've let go of some things I wish I kept
Now I'm itching to get them back.

My mistake
Hurry up and wait
Let go, let go, come back.

I was young
Should have been focused on something else
Besides myself
And I don't know if it was my mistake or if
Another door may open up in my face.
I may never know
Was it my mistake
To let you go

My Bucket List Year
02:48
|

Record highs
Spent mostly indoors and my friends let me know.
It was so nice out until I finally made my way outside.
I've checked off more than half the days
That this calendar contains.
A large fraction of my bucket list
Still remains.
Live without regrets
Haven't found one yet.
