Hollow

It turned out to be hollow and the light can shine right thru.
down and out until tomorrow, and I don't know what to do.
if you don't like the sun, then you'll get just what you want.
if you don't like to run, you can stop right where you are.
it turned out to be hollow, how was I supposed to know?
and when you wake up in the morning, nothing's where it's supposed to go.
if you don't like the sun, maybe you don't like yourself
but you don't have to run, just turn into something else

I Need Some Time

You know what it's like:
Sometimes I don't sleep at night
Nothing's going on
no one's home but still the lights are on
something in the air tonight:
I think I'm going to drink a beer.
something's got me feeling right.
something in the air tonight:
I think I'm going to drink a beer and sit at my computer tonight.
You know how it goes:
click around until you feel at home
talk a little shit
who cares man it's dumb, get over it
something in the air tonight:
I think I'm going to drink a beer.
something's got me feeling right.
something in the air tonight:
I think I'm going to drink a beer and sit at my computer tonight.
sometimes I need a little time

We can be what you want to be
you just gotta tell me where to start
we can see what you wanna see
you just gotta tell me where you are
cause the games you play, they don't stop for passing cars
and all the moves you make are guided by the nearest star
I'm rotating you in my mind
can you feel it?
You don't want to get what you want.
You never want to get what you want.
cause the games you play, they don't stop for passing cars
and all the moves you make are guided by the nearest star
I'm rotating you in my mind
can you feel it?
You don't want to get what you want.
You never want to get what you want.

Wife With an MFA
02:58

I said, "darling we should go outside, you've been so blue for days."
She said, "Mars has entered its third house, and the moon's in retrograde, and I think it might be wise to leave our bodies in this space.
Moreover I have a migraine and undergrads to grade."
I said, "Okay."
Cause you gotta watch everything you say
when you have a wife with an MFA
When the stars align with an arbitrary sign every other day
It can be so sweet when celestial bodies meet and lead the way
and the poetry she reads to me is okay
for an MFA
I said, "baby we should settle down and get ourselves a place."
She said her witchy vibes will soon transform this old liminal space.
She has a theory about energies and how they get displaced.
Then we did some kind of ritual that left ashes on my face.
and I said, "That's great."
Cause you gotta watch everything you say
when you have a wife with an MFA
When the stars align with an arbitrary sign every other day
It can be so sweet when celestial bodies meet and lead the way
and the poetry she reads to me is okay

Another day, another opportunity for change
another indistinguishable week goes down the drain
if I'm working toward something then I cannot give it a name
and I'm dumb as hell but even I can tell that things can't stay the same
well I was going to stay home and maybe look at my phone like every night for the last two years
but now I'm shaking it up by drinking seven or eight cold beers
another day, another chance to prove you're not in hell.
another indistinguishable email finds you well
I'm not trying to keep track of all the time that's passed me by
but I'm starting to get worried that there's not much left on my side
well I was going to stay home and maybe look at my phone like every night for the last two years
but now I'm shaking it up by drinking seven or eight cold beers
seven or eight cold beers: its the perfect amount to feel the stress of your life melt away
seven or eight cold beers: you'll feel like shit in the morning but you're going to feel like shit anyway
cause if you're worked to the bone and you can't go it alone and every night turns out worse then you feared: you can still shake it up by drinking seven or eight cold beers

Dumb Guy Blues
02:48

One more day goes tumbling by
one more page in a book that no one asked me to write
cause I'm just some guy
but I guess that's alright
one more plate piled up in the sink.
one more beer in the fridge and no one around me to drink it
so I guess that's on me
who else could it be?
cause I've been waiting to turn it around
this isn't the life that I would choose
I thought I was fated to figure it out
but now I got these dumb guy blues
one last dream left up on the shelf
one last scheme that's fooling nobody but myself
there's not much to say
so take it away
cause I've been waiting to turn it around
this isn't the life that I would choose
I thought I was fated to figure it out
but now I got these dumb guy blues
thought it was great but I'm over it now
I've got no idea what I should do
I thought I was fated to figure it out
but now I got these dumb guy blues
