Make Believe

I'm that guy

Who lives above my parents house

It smells

You think I'm fly

In a retro kind of hobo way

Can you tell?

But it's ok, everybody thinks I'm gay

Another trip and I'll be over it

I can't believe I made so much this week

I'm liable to end up dead

But at least I'm out of the red

Cause every time I call it like I see it it's just make believe again

I think I've found the secret but its just make believe

I'm that guy

Who walks and talks right to himself

There's no one else

My rooms up so high

Greg Brady aint got nothing on me

If you know what I mean

And its ok

Starting to make my way

Just one more trip and I'll get over it

You can't believe the world I see 

When I'm traveling late at night

It's better when you turn out the lights

In my head I'm thinking of you

In my dreams

In my mind

My heart is strong and my love is true

But you don't know me like you think you do

I'm living up way up in the clouds now

I'm that guy.  I'm that guy.

Up so high.  Up so high.

But I'm doing ok, everybody get away

I'm on a trip so get over it.

You can't believe the world I see

When my mind is frying in a pan

And the world is resting in my hands

Starin' At The Middle

Wanting what I cannot access

Wishin that I had you near

It always happens when I see dusk

When light begins to disappear

But I’m Starin at the middle of

Starin at the middle

Starin at the middle of rain

And there’s one more thing

Left for me to explain

I’m pullin at the edges again

The streets so near can barely hold me

The loose threads are bars in my cell

The warden here he clears the signal

I wonder what it’s like in hell

But I’m Starin at the middle of

Starin at the middle

Starin at the middle of rain

And there’s one more thing

Left for me to explain

I’m pullin at the trigger again

I’m wasted like an old train wreck

I’m rusted at the side of the tracks

And nobody notices

Notices

The water pours like a clean shower

The dirt begins to move and drain

The steel it wets and smells like autumn

I think I wanna breath today

But I’m Starin at the middle of

Starin at the middle

Starin at the middle of rain

And there’s one more thing

Left for me to explain

I never wanted any of this

Head Check

I cant seem to get my head straight

Living only giving me a great big headache

My confidence is a lie to myself

I’m gonna shelve my regrets and start anew new new

hey hey hey

You’re only say that cause you’re loving me

You’d cut me off if I had to be

You’re only hanging on so you can say look at me now

The phone is ringing but i can stay that motivated

(I cant seem to get my head straight)

Screening my shit like a private eye but simulated

I recognize the voice behind that ugly tone

yeah I wish i had someone to pick up my phone

hey hey hey

you’re only hanging cause you’re complicated

This whole scene is just so orchestrated

You’re only hanging on so you can say look at me now

My thoughts are screaming that the muse is about to rise

Raise his nappy fist way up to the sky 

sprinkle on top just a little bit of luck

 pull me out from the bottom of my smut

You’re only say that because you’re loving me

 you cut me off if I had to be 

your only hanging out so you can say look at me now 

yeah yeah yeah 

look at me now

St. Louis

I’m back home

I feel depressed

I found your clothes

And your new address

Why leave a note?

Why leave a note?

Your words are a joke,

The breeze makes me choke,

And all the time the answers were in front of my face

I try to think about tomorrow, but I can’t forget today

I found my old records

And all my books

I found my old Bee Gees

But the turntable you took

I called on in to work

I said I can’t make it in today

I’d sleep it off

But I’m too awake

And all the time the jokes that did not make any sense

I finally figured out the punchline…was at my expense

So I’m back home

Or what remains

I watch the snow

Drift off my windowpane

So much wasted spit

So many envelopes

All these silver gifts

With nowhere to go

And all the time the answers were in front of my face

I try to think about tomorrow, but I can’t forget today
