Caught in Between 02:28
lyrics

The bus pulled from Lucy’s Crossroad The kids play kick the can for a long run Then say goodbye, head for home Our dust settles with the sun I got a job with The Company Drew up blueprints, hired some big machines Complete a vision of concrete and condos Diggin’ for golden opportunity I’m at the crosswalk the man flashes 1 2 3 I’m caught up in the scenery Blackberry sing I’m an urban king And I’m caught in between Recall racing Cody barefoot to the bridge We’d throw rocks and try to make the biggest splash Flash back to my office window In time for break I gotta dash... I’m at Lucy Street and William Avenue Sip from my latte look both ways and try to cross Then some jackass in charger runs the red And he flips me off I’m at the crosswalk the man flashes 1 2 3 I’m caught up in the scenery My work looms tall I look and stall And I’m caught in between The cars and the people move quick quick quick This epiphany it’s hittin’ me like a brick I got what I wanted but I don’t feel whole Cause when these potholes were paved so was my soul… I’m at the crosswalk the man flashes 1 2 3 I’m caught up in the scenery My work looms tall I look and stall And I’m caught in between I’m at the crosswalk the man flashes 1 2 3 I’m caught up in the scenery Blackberry sing I’m an urban king And I’m caught in between

If my words of hurt had legs They’d walk in figure eights But instead they float through your head And into outer space And I’m feelin’ funny inside I think I might just cry So I’ll make my way to shakedown street I might as well get high But I got one look at the vendor Another look at my 80 dollars Turned around walked into the crowd Cause I remembered what I’m here for I’m gonna mend my heart in a mosh pit My face smothered in somebody’s arm pit My shirt soaked in other people’s sweat I’m high but I’m dry but this time it’s worth it Well Elvis took barbiturates Hank liked more than whiskey Just gimme music please and anonymity To get me back on my feet Cause I need to get knocked off my feet To appreciate the ground beneath Being crushed by a thousand bodies Reminds me how much I love to breathe I’m gonna mend my heart in a mosh pit My face smothered in somebody’s arm pit My shirt soaked in other people’s sweat I’m high but I’m dry but this time it’s worth it Now I’m charcoal between a finger and paper I’m rosin on a bow It hurts right now in the end It’s gonna make me beautiful With new confidence I say to these guys, “Hey Lift me up” And I’m floating forward on this current It’s my world and I’m on top. I’m gonna mend my heart in a mosh pit My face smothered in somebody’s arm pit My shirt soaked in other people’s sweat I’m high but I’m dry but this time it’s worth it

An age old tale of love A bitter red sky in the morning Loaning her that pencil knocked him straight Into uncharted waters take warning A foreign tongue in that first French kiss A leak in this sailboat of bliss They both knew it would end inevitably Infatuations burial at sea And I’d give him a pencil to write her name But it won’t build a bridge across the oh… Ocean blue… Now he’s seeing her off at the airport A promise to visit is made But they both know he’s stuck in this town On part time and minimum wage In the end was it worth it? Such a dangerous experiment His mind pushes cloud nine away While his soul it grasps at rain And I’d give him a pencil to write her name But it won’t build a bridge across the oh… Ocean blue… He wonders as her plane takes off If in 50 years she’ll find that pencil she lost… And I’d give him a pencil to write her name But it won’t build a bridge across the oh… Ocean blue… And they’ll be together a loose love knot in time Another birthmark on the ghost Of bold youth…

My Midnight 03:53
lyrics

The first thing I see when I open my eyes Is that Demon's eyes disguised as 12 o’clock I pull off my sheets sit up and rub away my sleep Turn the light on cuz it's time to… There's a pen on my table some words in my brain Scrap paper now I just need to put them all together My muse sit around me mocking the way I write about her Until I look at the page and I have to start all over And she's my my my my midnight She's not getting away this time I still have 8 hours before I should be in bed And midnight disappears She's messed with my mind over a million times Tonight I'll fight her until that message is clear And she's my my my my midnight She's not getting away this time So I know that all she wants to do is tease If I cup her in my hand she’ll cease to be She's an Iron Maiden torturing my being But she's here and I'm so glad she's…. My my my my midnight She's not getting away this time Yeah she's my my my my midnight She's not getting away this time She's here and I'm so glad she's mine X3

House on Shelbourne St. 02:47
lyrics

I’m browsin’ through Craigslist tryin’ to find A 4 bedroom house for September at an affordable price Found one finally for me and my friends It’s this ugly squat beast with a broken picket fence Oh that house on Shelbourne St was stuccoed and gray The living room an kitchen are one an the same We’d rather freeze than pay for the electric heat But hey y’know at least the rent...it’s cheap Life there was about as simple as stir fry An unpredictable diet of trying to survive We’ve got stories about cracks and mold and creaks A variety of leaks Not to mention extra socks and coats for when we’d try to sleep After a year we just wanted to burn the place down But we panicked when the landlord said, “One month and you’re out” Oh that house on Shelbourne St was stuccoed and gray The living room an kitchen are one an the same We’d rather freeze than pay for the electric heat But hey y’know at least the rent...it’s cheap You know it’s nice to be inside when you hear the rain And that old house holds memories for me and my room mates So I tried to feel upset as we hit the road Movin’ down a few blocks to Pembroke Guess you live anywhere a while with the right family And you’ll realize a lot is not what you need Oh that house on Shelbourne St was stuccoed and gray The living room an kitchen are one an the same We’d rather freeze than pay for the electric heat But hey y’know at least the rent...it’s cheap

Sweaters 02:48

Not much to do today Just work, eat, maybe play And a lot of sleep Cause I’ve got a lot of dreams I lift my head from the pillow My backpack’s lit up with a halo From the light, slipping through the window I want to go… But for now I’m stuck Here folding sweaters Lamb’s wool, merino wool Cashmere and cotton and oh… I guess everyone’s on summer vacation Cause customers give me such dramatic explanations Of what they’ve done and will do Sometimes they ask how about you 4 more weeks of saving And I’ll purchase the ticket for the adventure I’m craving The bus will pull up, I’ll step on And then I’ll be gone But for now I’m stuck Here folding sweaters Lamb’s wool, merino wool Cashmere and cotton and oh… And it’s button up 1 2 3 4 I look frumpy, I look funny judging by the mirror I’m not meant for this position It’s just a transition I don’t fit this cardigan But for now I’m stuck Here folding sweaters Lamb’s wool, merino wool Cashmere and cotton and oh…
