Little man Age 14 Once was what Will never be Did he drink the anti-freeze? I don’t want to say so Was it a ufo It all went in slo mo Walked the dog 9:18 Saw a light shine thru the trees Whirring sounds Random things Was it a UFO I don’t want to say so It all went in slo mo It all went in slo mo 17 Just for kicks Went up to the local cliffs Tumbled down Because he slipped It all went in slow-mo Was it a ufo I don’t want to say so I don’t want to say so How’d you know what we’d be Pretty as a Xmas tree In the end you and me Why didn’t you just say so? It all went in slo mo Was it a ufo Why didn’t you just say so? Why didn’t you just say so?

Air, the kind you breathe The kind that moves your hair the kind leaves that moves leaves Eyes, the kind that you see with The kind that go crossed The kind that need glasses Brains, the kind that you think with The kind that go soft The kind that can go dead Heart, the kind that you love with The kind that is kind The kind that can blacken Maybe you’re dead too Maybe it’s why you Don’t notice me

Can’t stop thinking about 250M years out And what will be left of our kind? Will we be living here, eating pasta dinners year after year? Will the cheese taste alright ? Let’s give ‘em something to remember us by While staring back at deaths beady eyes Let’s give ‘em something to believe in all right Something they’ll sing about after we die, die, die Can’t stop thinking about how the humankind might finally burn out A blaze of glory or like a trout Will it hit us hard, like a killer ride at old Action Park? An alpine slide of self doubt Give us a reason to keep fighting for life While punching death in his beady eyes Give them a reason to write stories about They’ll read to kids after we all die, die, die

Think Small 01:43
Feels good To dig a hole To feel the dirt To think small Get into rhythm I can’t spell rhythm very well Long division Scratch and smell Stickers covering your forehead Make em think you’re probably dead How’d they know? Plant a shoe Grow a soul In the grass Think tall Into position I can’t bend that way anymore Blurred vision Weakened core Of the applesauce that life has made me Everybody’s going crazy Leave me home… and Everyday we lose some magic Tumbling into the tragically broke
5.
Friends Into the night we ride Armed with a set of dreams Their nightmares can never hide We’ll bust up their machine We’ll give them a bop on the head The future’s unknown But some won’t be seen again Remember that time we had tacos at your moms and I cut my lip on a tortilla chip Man Man those were simple times Fighting on the lawn Instead of for our lives Now all we do is scream And cry ourselves to sleep Underneath the stars Wish we could see where they are Remember that time we had tacos at your moms and I cut my lip on a tortilla chip

Cross the page Do you feel it? ‘Bout to blow it to kingdom come All the long grasses Now bent where they stood tall Twisted tea cans Crumpled small And earth stops spinning Gravity starts to sway Can you feel it? Stick the bubble gum under your tongue Cross all your T’s, and your eyes and your fingers The last sparks As we unplug And earth stops spinning
7.
Weekend away but we came right back The cat moved away but she came right back Stuck we are in, in this small weird square A million directions and going nowhere But we can try to point our compass at the big blue sky It’s starting to heal but we picked the scab We’re waiting in line, to sit in the back Stuck we are in, in this flawed grand design All of the maps but can’t read the signs

You’re the only one that I can see You’re my only only creature How many do I have to eat before you know it’s true? If you’re the only one who cares for me Why don’t I feel like the feature? Can I slip inside your socks and see how soft you keep those paws? Isn’t just because Is it just because? You’re the only one that I can see You’re my only only creature How many do I have to bleed before you know that’s true? When my brain gives in to what it needs You’re the only only teacher Are we running low on invitees or is this just a start? Isn’t from the heart Is it from the heart? You’re the only one that I can see You’re my only only creature How many times must I recede before you think it’s true? Sailing through a very narrow sea It must be because I’m eager Great times for all your enemies and all the friends you bought Isn’t what I thought Is it what I thought?

I feel, like maybe you feel, a million years ago You feel, like maybe you healed, a million years ago Maybe I didn’t want to fight Maybe I really didn’t think I was right I feel, like maybe you feel, a million years ago You feel, like maybe you healed, a million years ago But I don’t know Maybe I didn’t want a choice Maybe I wasn’t trying to raise my voice
