Up but Not Out - 2022

  • Darkness
    Hide what you think I won't like
    Hide what you think I might steal
    You're probably right

    And daylight
    You can't tell a lie worth a damn
    Can't keep a secret for long
    There's no ace in your hand

    Say that you love
    Flashes of this tragic beautiful life
    Take what you want,
    Basking in the fallacy that's derived

    What can I make of these days
    I know that I'll never miss?
    Everything means nothing
    But there's got to be more to this

    And silence
    Did you really consider this long?
    Has this always been your plan?
    Tell me something's wrong

    And sickness
    Can I see what it's like to spin?
    Oh we've been partners so long
    Take the lead for a change

    Say that you love
    Flashes of this tragic beautiful life
    Take what you want,
    Basking in the fallacy that's derived

    What can I make of these days
    I know that I'll never miss
    Everything means nothing
    But there's got to be more to this

    All I feel is tired
    All I want's an end
    All I’m asking is act like I'm not pretend
    Please do carry on
    Nothing here to see
    No one's asking for saviors
    Just save your receipts

    (Then various oh ohs)

  • Well there’s something in the way she moves
    Reminds me why I can't sleep at night
    And there's something in her lies that soothe
    Like whiskey when I can't seem to bite
    Now don't get me wrong,
    I ain't trying to say
    That anything about this seems right
    But don't get me wrong
    I guess we ain't too far gone
    And I wouldn't lie

    Didn't I (x alot)

    Just another crumpled truth discovered,
    Signs hidden underneath the vines.
    Will you suffer and obstruct each other,
    Why, when you can get on with your lives.
    When you need another drink to think things through,
    you should probably realize.
    That's a really bad idea, i hear,
    I even told that before

    Didn't I (x many)

    So long I've been running the gamut,
    Telling myself this is normal and fine
    But frankly, it's getting harder and harder

    To convince myself the problem was time
    Cut your losses love, maybe that's just the rub,
    Not everything's an eye for an eye
    So give up the gun, I guess we all had our fun
    But Ill regret you the best

    Didn't I (x so much)
