The Gift

The gift is everything you wanted
You used to sit and watch the tables turning
A silhouette of youthful yearning
You stomp yours out, my cigarette's still burning
Do you know, do you glow without it?
The gift is everything you wanted
You're leaving us in knee-deep concrete water
Who else got nothing left to work with?
Don't tell me this will all be worth it, bullshit

Waiting Around

I never saw it, I never, I never saw what this could mean
Shooting to hit, standing a bit too close to see
But I'll keep waiting around, waiting around, waiting around
Cut your losses, fight the causes you bleed for free
Written raw this, doesn't exist, it's not poetry
But I'll keep waiting around, waiting around, waiting around
Don't know how you stand to kill for this

Sisyphus

Wasted, I'll water you down
I gotta move in somehow
Pushing that hill up that rock
Sisyphus is an undercover cop

Nocturnal

Oh, everybody begins
Ignoring everything
Keep it moving, don't turn me around
It comes at the sound of tears running down
Your cheeks don't look as rosy as mine
Yeah it's a sign, a symptom of what?
I went walking, more dead than alive
Just give me a sign, I'll be so divine
Who's that knocking, just hang up the phone
They're coming to take a good thing away

Old Romantics

Wrong or right, we got that kind of deal, you know
Taxi midnight, you're crossing off the names
The city lights a candle for the mess you made
Coming down from, your Adirondack rage
Every day, I will try, to be good to you
Leave it on, and feed me with a melody
I got life, within these bones tonight
You may laugh, and say that's just society
Advertise so desperately
