Hotel Sheets 04:22
Hotel city lights shine below the dark crept up from behind the window talking about some song I wrote I don't remember now it was so long ago. It was so long ago. Blow out the candlesticks like last year so many things have changed but not all of them so clear she says "I love you" and I turn so red Spent the whole damn week writing love songs in my head. Over and over again. You run a quarter mile to the corner store writing all the way in a leather bound notebook slumber she sleeps so softly under hotel sheets I feel so dirty but she makes me clean. I try to do right but it turns so wrong I try to stay put but I just move on I want to live now but it's not enough I want to buy a house I want to be in love I want to be in love. (On a Monday I’m just waiting And by Friday I’m just hating All the time that we’re wasting Always wasting away always wasting. It’s all the time the things we can’t change She says it’s alright and she is fine with it I try to stop looking for what’s already there I’ll try see what I have so clear.) She tells me tales of her childhood home of all the dogs and cats and the places that they go and all the friends who seemed to fade away I listen intently not a word to say. Not a word to say.

Drain 03:46
I guess this is what forever feels like Sure wish I could just disappear I hate the voice that’s in the playback Wish I wrote words you’d like to hear Always knew I wasn’t a good person Never lied to myself when I’m lying here at night She says I’m sweet but in the wrong ways I just want to make it right. It’s all the things you once bought Looking down with so much grief Filling a casket with your notebooks The words, the only thing to keep that meant anything. Remember saying how I loved it All the time we wasted then I watch the clocks drain like a painting I just want it back again. So don’t be a stranger and I’ll call when I can I was looking for an anchor but found dry land All the time, the wasted seasons, the secrets we keep All the things we hide, saying words that we don’t really mean. They never meant a thing Not a thing to me.

Quiet 02:48
wake up, go to work come home so unfulfilled you get a check, 600 bucks not enough to pay all of these bills i can't stand this modern life how the hell does one make it by im dying here, the city's loud at least it's quiet on the inside leave work, come home the cameras on and it's watching me undress for the faceless time will tell if im worth anything and i feel so anxious i don't know what i should do they said that it's not okay but i swear im always the one who's being used i saw god on the corner of fairfax and sixth he slept on the sidewalk and didn't ask for anything mother and father don't worry cause there is nothing wrong just tell me that i have what it takes and make sure i get everything done. i'm always running out of time he's always crossing the finish line and it's alright, i'm alright, i swear to god that it's just fine and it's alright, i'm alright, i swear to god that i'm just fine.
