Beautiful Music

Where did it go?
I thought I put it right there
I'm positive
But now it's just air
A vanishing trick
Secret compartment
Got lost in the snow
Shivering cold
Nothing here grows
No, it won't unfold
A sorry sad fool
All hung up on doubt
Unpalatable
Chewed up and spat out
I am only in torment
Because I am not in this moment
How can I make it stop?
I wrote you a book and took it all back
Took a second look and said this is trash
A crumpled up ball tossed over your shoulder
Like nothing at all
It's nothing at all
But she said it was perfect
And for a moment, I didn't feel worthless
I used to hear beautiful music
Up from downstairs
Effortless movement
Now the roosters crow all damn day
They start up at night at the polluted light
How can I make it stop?
How can I make you stay?
Unless I drop
You just turn away
Beautiful music
Will come out whenever I let it
You can come out
Won't you come out?
Please come out
Whenever you're ready

Let's leave it at that

You have better things to do
Than to press continue
And I can't make no plans
Let's leave it at that
I'm here because I neglect my love
As I look out at the stars above
I can't see the path
So I just let it pass
You wanna pedal fast
Raising your sail to the mast
And I've got no chance
Yeah, I've got a flat
Let's leave it at that
Let's leave it at that
There, passed out out on the edge
Expired tags since FEB
couldn't make the trek
It's a totaled wreck
You saw smoke rise from the hood
And got out, as you should
Cuz I'm no good
And I'll never learn
So just let it burn
Let's leave it at that

Losing Interest
03:39

Can you please dumb it down?
That's too much thinkin' now
There's nothing I've yet found
Much more than a merry-go-round
I'm losing interest, yeah
I'm losing interest, ooh
Why can't I shut it off?
A shrug into a cough
An awkward moment's pause
Slow scattered applause
You're losing interest, yeah
You're losing interest, ooh
Can we just get off here?
Let go of new frontiers
A sec to reassess
A chance to catch our breath
Cuz nothing ever seems significant
Until after the fact
Another attempt and if I can't
It must just be out of my grasp
I keep alternating between a sigh and a gasp
Losing interest, yeah
Losing interest, ooh
This song is so played out
It's not what I'm about
But it's how it'll end
Just some ink that spilled from a pen
Losing interest

Secret Love
03:21

I had a secret love
That never showed its face
I took a picture of
Something that's been erased
I had to make an escape
To where I know it's safe
Upon another plane
Up through a leap to faith
I'm not lying belly-up
Tinted windows, empty cup
Go ahead, tip me over, it won't make a sound
No, it doesn't matter if no one's around
I kept my secret love
And tucked it into place
Became a picture of
Something that's been erased
I'm not lying, I'll 'fess up:
Don't remember all that much
I had an idea that I didn't write down
It mustn't've mattered, it didn't make a sound
That's how
I keep mine secret

Smudge it Out
06:58

You could throw it away
You should get out of this place
Smudge it out
Burn it down
Make a call to Solid Waste
Or just leave it for someone else to take
To the curb
And forget all about it
I see you're giving in
You can't give up
On the delusions that keep you down
Their only promise is to keep you out of touch
It won't amount to much
And I hope that's not the case
If you're up for a debate
I'll be gentle and I'm not afraid
To speak soft
Careful now
You're giving in again
I give up
A pushover with a delicate touch
Fly face-first into the mud
I can't take that much
Cut myself off
I've had enough of this seethin'
Check my posture and shift my focus to breathing
Every season a new reason
We belong on the same page
But you couldn't even catch my name
What I throw down you throw up
You should have done it just for yourself
But you only worry when it's for someone else
You want someone to tell you what to do
Something you don't want to
And it's your turn to flip the switch and kick it into reverse
If you wear it inside out it's like a brand new shirt
Each stain a fresh design
I ordered some sage to smudge you out
A wind to break apart the cloud
To lift away the dirt
The patterns that revert
They're only getting worse
I need to lift your curse
Begone evil, disperse
