I guess I’m feeling kind of stuck, yeah
My heart should tell me what I want
Instead, unsure and alone
It waits in silence
I guess it’s just another rut, yeah
My heart should tell me what I want
It screams the same, the same thing always
The dream it never changed
I see the light break into day
My heart swells a little more
Watch it fade
And wash the old world away

A Feeling

*backing vocals*
Yeah we’re moving close
If you could be it
If you could see it
If you could feel it
If you could know
*main vocals*
A feeling that nails me down to the earth
A feeling that keeps me inside myself
A feeling that keeps me away from you
A feeling that tells me there’s nothing else
Nothing else
A feeling that pins me down to the earth
A feeling that keeps me inside myself
A feeling that everything turns to dirt
A feeling that there isn’t nothing else for me
A feeling that buries me in the dirt
A feeling that empties me of my worth
A feeling that keeps me inside myself
A feeling that tells us that nothing else could help
Singing
I feel it call inside
And feel my heart try to hide
Don’t turn away
From the burning light
If you hold the pain
You’ll realize
This feeling
*backing vocals*
See the future again
Held in stasis on end
Fear and frozen intent
Nothing ends or begins
Shrink tomorrow away
Let’s just get through today
Numb to fear, numb to pain
Resign to no change
See the future again
Held in stasis on end
The smallest of our sins
Drowns our best intentions
Quiet hurt, quiet pain
Let em simmer and end
Dissipate in the rain
Numb to the lost days
*main vocals*
A feeling that nails me down to the earth
A feeling that keeps me away from grace
A feeling that buries me in the dirt
A feeling that this isn’t what we’re s’posed to be
A feeling that nails me down to the earth
A feeling that keeps me away from heaven
A feeling that buries me in the dirt
A feeling that tells us there’s nothing we deserve
Nothing else

Give It Back

It begins
The same old way
It always does
It always has
The same old way
It always does
It always has
Like a thought
Like a seed
Like a splinter
I can’t work free
Like a need
And it ends
Like a dream
You can’t wake up from
Like a specter
That finds no peace
On my back
On my knees
On a plain
That reaches
Reaches deepest shadow
The refrain
That repeats
When I reach out
For comfort
There’s air on my fingers
It’s a need that’s never met
Give it back

I’m not available
I told you like four months ago
I put it down in the schedule
I’m out, I’m not available
I’m not available
I’ve got this thing in San Angelo
All my siblings said they’re gonna go
So yeah, I’m not available
I’m not available
I don’t need to tell you where I go
You don’t own me outside of work you know
I’m not
I’m not available
I said I’m not available
So go ahead, put me on the schedule
Enjoy the lunch rush when my ass don’t show
I told you
I’m not available
“Can you cover Sunday?” (Not available)
“How about Friday?” (Not available)
“Jenn’s out on Thursday” (Not available)
“We’re short-staffed Saturday, it would be great if you could be here, also can you open?” (I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not…)
I’m not available
I’m on my own time
I’m not available
I’m living my own life
This is my time
This is my life
“Friday?” (Not available)
“Saturday?” (Not available)
“Sunday?” (Not available)
“Friday?” (I’m not)
“Saturday?” (I’m not)
“Sunday?” (I’m not)
“Monday?” (I’m not)
“Tuesday?” (I’m not)
“Wednesday?” (I’m not)
“Thursday?” (…)
I’m not available
I’m not available
I’m not available
I’m not available
I took off the weekend for a reason, Kenneth

Come on in & take a seat
You bought the mess, you bought the spin
The neon glow of future failure
In a vacuum tube of dreams
Sit on down strap yourself in
A suckers kingdom & I’m the king
Research pales to being mean
And besides I know everything

The Mountain

One arm
One leg
From the corner of the bed
Back pain and dread
One leg
One arm
Answer the alarm
*backing vocals*
Get up
Get out
Get going now
Get up
Get out
Get going now
Get up
Get out
Get going now
Get up
Get out
Get going now
Don’t freeze
Guilt ridden
At the bottom of the Permian sea
Miles below the surface
Under lamplight protozoa
The end of evolution
A clean slate in shale
And sheaths of chitin
New beginnings
In the great dying
A clean slate in shale...
New beginnings...
*backing vocals*
On my left, on my left
On my right, on my right
Everywhere, every side
Curled
Malaise ossified
Anxiety and pride
Port side, salt flecked eyes, low tide
Hips from the side, they realign, replaced with drive
My skin hurts
New bruises
New flesh
I can feel it
Expand
No other way
No other way through
What else is left
Where are we going
What are they taking
How much more growing should I be faking
How many blisters
How many schedules
How many splintered days do I have to reassemble
Take them apart
Put them back together
The routine is cracked but adapt and get better
Scales to feathers
Cover letters
Bad weather that doesn’t get better
Head down on your own endeavors
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
On my left
On my right
Every side
Double time
Forward and back
Break

The air’s a little hazy
And I don’t know this road
And I don’t know where it goes
Will I make it home?

We recall
The way we were
In the shadows
And we rise
We call out
Into the light
