homecoming

oh well, if it's what you want,
we can go back to my car
so many years of hanging on
to places way too far to go; for everything we chose
this has been a long time coming
so many you're not
i spent a long time running
do you like what you bought?
so, so long sweet homestead
I don't know what you are
so long sweet american love
and your homecoming dress of stars
this has been a long time coming
so many you're not
i spent a long time running
do you like what you bought?
this has been a long time coming
so many you're not
i spent a long time running
do you like what you bought?

the moon turned itself upside down
i am in love with this town
i'll miss the misery but miss, won't you marry me tonight?
the moon turned itself upside down
the earth stopped spinning around
i'll miss the misery but miss, won't you marry me tonight?
i'm kinda simple minded, all i got is death and endings on my mind
i'm desperately searching for fullness, the not so incidental kind
the moon turned itself upside down
i've made myself a clown
i'll miss the misery but miss, won't you marry me tonight?
the moon turned itself upside down
face contracted into a frown
i'll miss the the misery but miss, won't you marry me tonight?
the moon the moon the moon
i'll miss the the misery, but miss, won't you marry me tonight?

and you
02:43
|

|
things you forgot that you don't understand
mirages of familiar plans
i have been gone for ten thousand years
but all that you are, all you have is right here
and you
so the long term plan, didn't quite play out right
as I am a moth, attracted to a dimming light
and you compose yourself like you know you were right
there is no rest here, there is no end in sight
and you
you ask me to repeat myself but I will not repeat myself
ask me to repeat myself but I will not repeat myself again, today

medium

spent a minute looking at myself
sentimental bullshit and what else is new
trying to find new mediums through which to look at you, and they're gone
meaningless trinkets line the shelves
two equal halves, one of which I'll sell to you
as if they retain any arbitrary value, maybe not
and I scream every night at the top of my lungs
trying to get back where I started, find where I'm coming from
there's holes in my sheets, there's blood in my mouth
if you ask where I'm going, man, I'm going down south
you've friends among enemies and enemies among friends
kill all your idols lest ye become them
fuck everything you've heard, fuck everything you know
if you ask how I'm feeling, man, I'll tell you I'm feeling low
spent a minute looking at myself
sentimental bullshit and what else is new
trying to find new mediums through which to look at you, and they're gone

happy halloween, my withered oak
if i cannot breath, i cannot choke
everything you wanna be is wrong
and everyone you ought to be is gone
is it already that time of year?
it seems like it's been years since its been here
everything you wanna be is wrong
and everyone you ought to be is gone
happy halloween, my withered oak
if i cannot breath, i cannot choke
everything you wanna be is wrong
and everyone you ought to be is gone

a thousand paper cranes
i will skip town on a sunday train
i will meet you at the crack of dawn
burn the last page and i will be gone
leaves turn in your pretty head
i will wait for you to come to bed
even if, if you if you never arrive
you are the reason I am still alive
a thousand paper cranes
in a chain leading to a nicer place i will
follow it till my feet wear out because
this place is a little too loud
leaves turn in your pretty head
i will wait for you to come to bed
even if, if you if you never arrive
you are the reason I am still alive
leaves turn in your pretty head
i will wait for you to come to bed
even if, if you if you never arrive
you are the reason I am still alive

forward

i stopped smoking, thought i'd give my wallet a break
i feel better, maybe i didn't need it anyway
i asked when it stopped hurting if i really am deserving of this
and even though i am still learning i can not stop yearning for this
so i stopped smoking and my head felt better
i should take a moment to appreciate the weather
though i'm attached loosely by the hip to a tether
but i'm always looking forward always trying to be better than that
but then i realized i still need you like i need nicotine in my blood
and i thought that i could live without a crutch in the absence of your love
maybe i needed a moment to be cognizant of where i've been
but the truth was too much to handle so i started smoking again
i started smoking again
but when i stopped smoking and my head felt better
i should take a moment to appreciate the weather
though i'm attached loosely by the hip to a tether
but i'm always looking forward always trying to be better than that
i started smoking again
