Something Overhead

there’s something overhead, i’ve been reading about it
i thought that I was dead, now I’m starting to doubt it
i can see it in your face when you call in the morning
we can look for a new place cause the old one is boring
and when I’m asking if it works I guess I’m asking if the joints still hurt
and if it sounds like it's alright you let the windows down the engine dies
there’s something in the air yeah i think i can taste it
i hope i’m being fair because i don’t want to waste it
i can see it on my clothes when i sleep in the evening
no one ever really knows, we’re just doing the same things
and if you feel like getting hurt, i guess I’m asking if the drugs still work
and if you feel you’ve been ignored just keep the headlights on till i get bored

if i can’t make sense of my life how could i see it from another side?
if i can’t get anything right why am i waiting for a different night?
i do my work on your time: i check the figures i cross the lines
i do my work on your time, time time time: i check the figures i cross the lines
i’m gonna figure it out, i’m gonna figure it out some time
don’t want to know what you’re talking about
don’t need to go but if you i don’t mind
if i could make any sense of my life would it really make a difference at all?
i hold my breath in the low light and now i never know when you’re going to call
i can’t keep track of what’s mine: i lose the thread and i draw a line
i can’t keep track of what’s mine, mine mine mine: i lose the thread and i draw a line

Vague Recollection

i feel like a fraud, i feel like I’m waiting to get caught
i feel a hand on my shoulder
it feels like a ruse, i feel like I’m running with no use
i want to be told that its over
i can’t sing the same songs for too long
you need to trust me a little bit
i can write the same lines till they sound all wrong
and just hang above me a little bit
are we cool now? are we alright?
i won’t ask to remember this
are we cool now? can you get the light
there goes eight months i'll never miss
it feels like a dream, you hold me together at the seams
so how do i get so distracted
it feels like a bruise that i could uncover if i choose
im writing it down to redact it
i’ll tilt at this thing for way too long
you need to trust me a little bit
i’lll burn every page until its all long gone
it won’t look the way you remember it

Wait for the Ark

and i count you till i sleep
and i see you in my dreams (yeah)
i’ll wait for six more weeks
and you wake up next to me (yeah)
i thought i had a plan for this one
thought i’d be alright on my own
i thought i had a line for this one,
something left to carry me home
i put a hole in all my clothes
to make a space for your new ghost (yeah?)
i’m going to walk you to the park
i’m going to save you for the ark (yeah)
i’ll put the fear of god in this one
there’s nothing left to bring it alive
you can leave me in the yard until the next one
you can tell me if it’s sounding alright
find it online, do whatever it tells you
give me what's mine or what ever you won't use
lock yourself down, you can hide in yr bedroom
wait for the ark 'cause it’s coming to get you
