I can spin my head, but I’ll never see anything
Cabin fever spreads even when I stand out in the street
Go and see your friends but even then I won’t feel complete
Just by looking around, nowhere to go but I’m feeling beat
Am I doing this right?
Baby, there’s no right way to go about life
Walking to the park it needs some fresh air
And don’t you even start cuz baby I know that you don’t care
Head into the mart and get some funny looks from the cashier
Cant imagine why, we’re all the same here
Am I doing this wrong?
Baby that’s how it’s been here all along

Scrape your knee and feel it to the bone
You will never, ever be alone
You made her cry last night when you said
“The day you’ll be happy’s when I’m dead”
I know it may be a lot to take in
You’re sick of bringing home all the bacon
But the world you left is not the one we’ve made it
So you better clean it up now, or we will hate it
At your feet
I make you wanna hate me

See you sleep on the back of your hands
Feet in the air
I hit the road with a lot of force, yeah
I think I need some time off my high horse, yeah
In burning oil up to my knees
Flying this high takes a lot of time to think

I’m sitting on my windowsill
In the morning
And the grass is talking to me, saying,
“What are you doing”
And when I look up, I see the stars
Glaring down at me
And in the daytime, the moon sees my face and it
Turns the other way

I love you Smokey Bear

Maybe I’ll be,
I wish I didn’t care
Park it by your house and appreciate your stare
The flowers on the ground are all fixing me with glares
Don’t know what that’s about so I’m leaving for somewhere
I let you down last night and I wish I wasn’t there
The poor friends around me understand that it’s not fair
I got my own shit, but soon I’ll be out of your hair
But I love you, you’ll always be my favorite bear
I love you Smokey
I love you Smokey
I love you Smokey
I think I love you Smokey
I love you
I love you
Smokey
Smokey
Smokey
I do

You don’t need to climb the mountain
Don’t forget to take it easy on the world
and even though the candles are still melting
Never was ‘bout you or the way you feel
We’re down to just the two cats here at home
There were four prancing a while back
It makes me sad like an era’s ended
She hit the floor and didn’t land on her feet that time
But even one flea is one flea too many
Tiny black bodies swarming all around
“Just don’t be scared” I once was told
And I think I finally get the point
And even though I’m sick today
I got the secrets keepin’ me awake
And even though I’m sicker by the day
I got the secrets keepin’ me awake

The flood

So I thought
I had a thing
“Don’t get distraught”
The churches sing
If you try to cry
I will never let go
Mom and dad will see
Only what you show
The buzzing of insects
The sound of the meadows
No matter what you love dear,
There will be a shadow
Now my thoughts are grey
I am just a kid
But your thoughts you lay
Out for me to struggle
Call me when you get to hell
I should feel guilty
I cant get rid of the smell
Why did I wait so long?
To hear you say,
“The flood is coming
This is our final day”

Just cause it scares you
Doesn’t make it bad
And now that I know you, I think I’m gonna go. But if you feel bad, it’s not my fault

I saw into your throat last night
I saw the color of you inside
And I saw the lights dance across my eyes
I felt something not short of surprise
Some people just wanna get to you
She said, “I don’t know what to do”
Some people just wanna get to you
She said, “I don’t know why”
Thoughts can’t hurt me at all
But they haunt inside my skull
Letting go is such an abstract concept
The river flows like I’m still standing in it
You can bite me with your two long fangs
Constrict around my wrist and my veins but
Blood is flowing one way or another
My head is reeling but I don’t feel so sad
Books and bends and fantasy noises
Fantastic faces I won’t be seeing again
Feelings I thought that I could hold onto
Fire blazing inside of my skin

Do you know what I’m talking about when I eat lunch inside?
Do you know what I’m thinking about when I eat lunch inside?
The lemon tree looks pretty out there but not every fruit
Ripens all at once and it’s some metaphor
Go and hangout just to sit and wish I wasn’t there
The fields are making it hard to wish I was alone again

Now you rest on the side of the street
Just a little soft body
Beady eyes in rays of light
Flowers acting the same as the vultures
Where you once marched sits a trail of debris
Torn apart in the twisting air
Beady eyes in rays of light
Now you know everything

North I see shining lights
Behind me a vast darkness
I’m being pulled
The earth is nicer when it’s night
The wolves and bears eyes glowing bright
I’m Dragged down
Flowers lay over my eyes,
No more looking at things that scare me
I will rest
