SMASHER
The Moon’s behind a building tonight
and the sun doesn’t seem quite as bright
god damn, it feels good to roam free
left my age and my cage behind me
I’m a SMASHER
ever after
a soul born to roll and receive
I’m a smasher
slave and master
to the curse and the gift of belief
The sun only blinds in your eye
and the moon is a cool shade of white
god damn, you won’t bring me back to my cage
left my rage on the page
blessed by melody’s saints that I praise
I’m a SMASHER
ever after
a soul born to roll and receive
I’m a smasher
slave and master
to the curse and the gift of belief
tell me, do you believe?
I’m down on my knees

Conversation got you tongue tied and hollow
motivation under siege
don’t look back ‘cause there’s only tomorrow
every burn is third degree
Wait around ’til the shift changes over
Molly get em what he needs
Wait around ’til the shift changes over
It’s automatic when you get it up off of the ground
Getting by got you knee deep in sorrow
cooling off your mercury
cant give back you gotta beg steal and borrow
hang your verdict on my jury
Wait around ‘till the shift changes over
Mary get em what he needs
Wait around ’til the shift changes over
It’s symptomatic when you feel it pulling in the lead
Tribulation got your mind rolling over
heavy sleeping ’til a quarter to three
gotta get up
if only tomorrow could stop running ahead of me
Wait around ’til the shift changes over
Princess get em what he needs
Wait around ’til the shift changes over
Java give him what he’s asking for
Wait around ’til the shift changes over
Psilocybin got your mind at ease
Wait around ’til the shift changes over
Get that water in your Henney you’ve been living
in the attic

On My Way
Soaring through simple time
gone out too far to throw a line
weightless and simplified
over and over again
you are the bottom line
I’m on my way
I’m on my way to you now
Patient and dignified
you cool my head and soothe my eyes
living on borrowed time
over and over again
leaving myself behind
I’m on my way
I’m on my way to you now

No Savior
I see no martyrs here
and you ain’t no savior
I get this deep belief
in bad behavior
So won’t you stop telling all my friends
That we’re all skeletons
won’t you stop telling me
that i’m your remedy
I see no martyrs here
and you ain’t no savior
I see no martyrs here
and you ain’t no savior
So please stop telling all my friends
that they’re all heaven-sent
and please stop telling me
that I am heaven’s sin
I ain’t no skeleton
I’m born of other men
and this isn’t anything worth dying in
I see no martyrs here
and you ain’t no savior
I see no martyrs here
and you ain’t no savior

Scumbag 79
Seldom honest
always zoning when i am
levitation buried in the palm of my hand
never been a diamond mine
a crosseyed genius inclined
to tear your heart out
and leave your vanity behind
‘cause you’re a star in your own mind
Never had an answer
clearly got some questions down on tape
one of these afternoons we’re gonna make
a beeline for a name
and we’ll still feel out of place
in the inner ear it’s outer space
‘cause you’re a star in your own mind
This is a catastrophe
one with calamitous intent
to tear your heart out
once again you’re not heaven-sent
‘cause you’re a star in your own mind

Nothin’ Left
I’ve been chewing the scenery
now this towns all fat
getting lost in the greenery
lying on my back
Play a Stones riff Brian
we ain’t got nothing left
Play a Stones riff Brian
I’m gonna get my rocks off ‘till my dying breath
Lifting heavy machinery
now my back’s soaking wet
getting lost in buffoonery
everywhere I went
lay a Stones riff Brian
we ain’t got nothing left
Play a Stones riff Brian
I’m gonna get my rocks off ‘till my dying breath
sooner or later we all gonna die
but the jokes on you child
all I know how to do is survive
I’ve been digging the scenery
getting high on buffoonery

Until It All Goes
So we’re going all the way…
dodged the bullet
missed the early grave
gonna have to learn how to swing it in style
getting old with the grace of a country mile
And I’m singing that song
until it all goes wrong
So we’re gonna go all the way
from the ground to outer space
and we’re gonna live in the haze
holding on to a little bit of grace
When I’m singing that song
until it all goes right
I hope I’m singing that song
when we get it tight
So are we gonna go all the way?

Morning
You could tell me my time is up
and that I’ve gone sideways
I will wait for your virtuous love
on the other side of that highway
there will never be a perfect time
so we part like a band-aid
I hope it rains when my number comes
I hope it rains
I hope it’s morning
My mouth is a scorpion
licking my share of batteries
your heart is a hand me down
it skips a beat to that worn out time piece
there’s never been a perfect time
it was wrong before we got here
I hope it’s calm when my number comes
I hope it’s calm
I Hope it’s morning

Unbroken and Whole
A full moon is rising overhead
a beed of sweat an icy breath
if you could linger on
would you choose this time?
Unbroken and whole
’til out cells divide
Unbroken and whole
’til out cells collide
I caught a glimpse once
of a look inside the eye
it was a stutter step on a playground slide
if you could linger on
would you choose this time?
Unbroken and whole
’til out cells collide
Unbroken and whole
’til out cells divide
Unbroken and whole
on the playground slide
Unbroken and whole
with a lazy eye

Sing me one more song before you go
I love to hear your voice
when the lights are low
tell me everything you are
and I promise i’ll tell you no lies
when the lights come on
Still awake
I don’t mind watching you sleep
Wait before you tell me your favorite song
I wanna guess three times and get it wrong
before you ask me what mine might be
…well I thought it was
take another breath, count another minute
‘cause in exactly six hours we’ll be yelling our heads off
staring at the ceiling
Still awake
Kiss me there
I love that feeling
I don’t mind watching you sleep
Tell me I’m wrong
a hundred times a day
tell me I’m right when I feel that way
I know where I am and I know where I come from
it’s all where we’ve been
Still awake
sing one more song
I don’t mind watching you sleep
I didn’t ask for this
No one ever does
I didn’t ask for this
No one ever does
