I had both kinds of trouble yesterday
I didn’t choose existence, but I chose harm’s way
Both kinds of trouble, not a thing that went my way
But maybe tomorrow they may
I’m full of resentments tonight
Yes I’m full of resentments tonight
I started to die but there’s no end in sight
Now I’m full of resentments tonight
I’ll have more of the same tomorrow
I’ve more of the same tomorrow
More of the same’ll help keep me insane
I heard conviction brings clarity for some
I heard conviction brings clarity for some
Conviction brings clarity for some
Maybe in a week I’ll get it done
Yeah maybe in a week or two I’ll get it done
Sink into the earth or float up past the sun
Maybe in a week or three I’ll get it done
I sing to you now from the future
Yeah I sing to you now from the future
Now and then I’m too depressed to relay all the rest
But isn’t it good just to know that there’s a future?
Yeah isn’t it nice to know that there’s a future, baby?
A future, baby?
Future, baby?
Future, baby?

Your Breath on My Mouth
02:57
|
|||
Lost as we are, sick in our heads
Surviving this season by staying in bed
Nobody’s thriving, and I'm sick of the death
Calling on friends to see how we feel
Most of our reasons are feeling too real
Feeling around in the dark, creating a wheel
Fooling around in the dark, creation’s a wheel
Show me out of this age and teach me to breathe
Put your breath on my mouth and help me to see
Daydreaming when, of wherever we can
And nothing is rationed, and we all have plans
And please don’t remind me just yet, that it’s out of my hands
Confront me with failures, there’s blood on my hands
Show me out of this age and teach me to breathe
Put your breath on my mouth and help me to see
How long is a day on the sun?
Would anyone mind if I showed anyone?
Does anyone know whether anything’s real?
I just need to know, what if anything’s real?
I just need to know, what if anyone’s real?

Get outside, it’s the first day of the world, baby
Submit yourself, I think it’s May
Shuffled hair and ruffled feet, it’s the morning, baby
Let’s go see if it’s a fake
Infinity’s a figure-eight
I got a fifty-foot long list of boundaries, baby
And none of them are fake
I got a fifty-foot long list of boundaries, baby
And none of them are fake
Sunglasses on for the first sunrise to happen, baby
How does it feel to be awake?
Does it sting? Do they sting when they’re with you, baby?
Cardiod or figure-eight?
Infinity’s a figure-eight
I got a fifty-foot long list of boundaries, baby
And none of them are fake
I got a fifty-foot long list of boundaries, baby
And none of them are fake

Piece of Coastline
03:22
|
|||
We were raised in the land of over-thinking
A piece of coastline and a whole lot of drinking
Always too hot, always too cold
Buying copper to sell as gold
And if all you want to do is have fun
I think you’re not in the right one
Hope I die before I get cold
Our piece of coastline’s gettin’ old
I hope I die before I get cold
Our piece of coastline’s gettin’ old
When I get down, Immediate Sound
When I get down, the ‘Bo’s around
And when I find I’m lost, there’s a lost and found
And when I need a ride is when I’m on the ground
And if we’re second in line for blood
I think you’re not in the right one
I hope I die before I get cold
Our piece of coastline’s getting old
I hope I die before I get cold
Our piece of coastline’s getting old
Our piece of coastline’s getting old
Our piece of coastline’s getting old

Hoosiers
03:45
|
|||
Hoosiers, they’re winners and losers
What the fuck’s a Hoosier anyway
If they’re anything like the ones we’ve got
They’re drinking and drugging towards an early grave
They like things store bought, still they thrift a lot
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Who’s a Hoosier
What the hell’s a Hoosier anyway
Had a friend at the record shop
She kept a room above a cool cop’s
Paid her rent with some ditchweed pot
And kept him high on classic rock
But my friend she fell behind on some bills
And that cop had some quotas to fill
She tried to catch up with some cocaine and pills
And now she’s doing some years
Hoosiers, they’re winners and losers
What the fuck’s a Hoosier anyway
If they’re anything like the ones we’ve got
They’re drinking and drugging towards an early grave
They like things store bought, still they thrift a lot
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Who’s a Hoosier
What the hell’s a Hoosier anyway
Now that cop’s out a tenant, and it ain’t for lack of looking
But half Allen County knows what he did
Now he’s months behind with the patrolman’s credit union
An’ once a week he gets his windows busted in
But my buddy she got out in a few
She got a few jobs cleaning bars
Spends her nights dodging shitheads up in Fort Wayne
Kendal Kost, this song’s for you
Hoosiers, they’re winners and losers
What the fuck’s a Hoosier anyway
If they’re anything like the ones we’ve got
They’re drinking and drugging towards an early grave
They like things store bought, still they thrift a lot
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Who’s a Hoosier
What the hell’s a Hoosier anyway
Busting windows in a Crown Vic every day

For Forgiveness
03:02
|
|||
I should love you for your mysticism
I should love you for your criticism
But I love your forgiveness, woman
Love you for forgiveness, woman
I should love you for your inquisition
I Should love you for your new position
But I love your forgiveness, woman
I love you for forgiveness
I should want you for your revolution
I should care about your retribution
Just need your forgiveness, woman
I need you for forgiveness, woman
Love you for forgiveness, woman
Love you for forgiveness

Capitalism Blues
03:07
|
|||
“It’s 5am on Black Friday somewhere” they said
And half-off’s such a holy state of mind
They’re two for one, they’re completely new,
And they’re obsolete in a week or two
Looks good on them, then it’ll look good on you
The problem’s them, the problem’s never you
Bought those capitalism blues, got those capitalism blues
From the price tag on my hat, down to the price tag on my shoes
Bought those capitalism blues, can't sell those capitalism blues
Can’t afford to not try and keep up with you
Well the more you spend, the more you save,
But the more you get, the more you crave
And the less it costs, the less that you get off
Attention deficit, and a surplus of bullshit
And an algorithm that knows when you get paid
If swiping left to feel alright, then surveillance needs you up all night
We’re evolved past needing to get laid
We’re scrolling past knowing how to get laid
Got those capitalism blues, got those capitalism blues
From the price tag on my hat, down to the price tag on my shoes
Bought those capitalism blues, can't sell those capitalism blues
Can’t afford to not try and keep up with you
Illusion of choice is up next on the voice
If everything’s on sale, then nothing is
Well the more you spend, the more you save,
But the more you get, the more you crave
And the less it costs, the less that you get off
Yeah the less it costs, the less that you get off
Got those capitalism blues, got those capitalism blues
From the price tag on my hat, down to the price tag on my shoes
Bought those capitalism blues, can't sell those capitalism blues
I can’t afford to not try and keep up with you
No I can’t afford to be this kind of blue
No I can’t afford these capitalism blues

Set Aside Your Fear
03:45
|
|||
If they’re asking, why not answer?
If they’re asking, why not answer?
If they’re asking, why not answer?
Set aside your fear, don’t satisfy their fear
If they wrote it, why not read it?
If they wrote it, why not read it?
If they wrote it, why not read it?
And set aside your fear, don’t satisfy their fear
You’ve satisfied your fears
You’re done with all those years
You won’t get all those tears back anyhow
So let them do their thing
They already took the ring
And they never needed permission anyhow
If they’re calling, you’ve been called on
If they’re calling, you’ve been called on
If they’re calling, you’ve been called on
To set aside your fear, don’t satisfy their fear
You’ve satisfied your fears
You’re done with all those years
You won’t get all those tears back anyhow
So let them do their thing
They already took the ring
And they never needed permission anyhow
There’s others, but they’re the only
There’s others, but they’re the only
There’s others, but they’re the only one
So set aside your fear, don’t satisfy their fear
If you love them, why not let them?
If you love them, why not let them?
If you love them, why not let them?
Set aside your fear, don’t satisfy their fear

Blind vs. Prologue
06:24
|
|||
Better lies
Broken wings
Microphones
And everything
These are things
That I could see
But I caused
Some misery
Now I’m blind
Now I'm blind
Lover’s eyes
Borrowed rings
Herringbone, and endless snow
And everything
These are things
That I could see
But now they’re just
Just memories
Now I’m blind
Now I’m blind
Doctor always said I’d lose my sight
Still it came as a surprise
Like when the prologue says they’ll die at the end
And then the actors get it right
The actors get it right
Now I’m blind
Now I’m blind
Now I’m blind
Now I’m blind
