Car is Pas't

When it's our time to go
The airplanes are soon to follow
With one last blue-gray cough
I cast my burdens off
I'm not turning her over
I'm not turning her over
I'm not turning a corner
I'm not turning at all
With one last blue-gray cough
This car is pas't
With one last blue-gray cough
This car is pas't

Two Tons of Iron
03:10

Such a fool for thinking
A lousy two dollars and fifty cents
Would be sufficient to
Counteract the downward pull
A fool for thinking you
Could force these rusted parts to move
I have carried too much of your weight
I have taken up too much of your hate
Lock up or not, and leave whatever behind
Two tons of iron resigned

Spark-lit Mixture

These cold and vacant chambers
Were once often occupied
By a volatile vapor
And every single time
Your spark lit the mixture
That crack of the whip
I took the pain for you
I bear'd the heat and the distance
I drank up every drop of your essence
Only for me to find myself forsaken
Wearing what's left of what meals the doves had taken
Crusted
Dried up
Dead in a parking-lot

Curriculum Vitae

I d'know
I d'know
Decisions don't come easily
When I don't know what the shit I'm supposed to be doing
(With my life)
Or do I
I could paint you a picture or make you a movie
(It's so easy for me)
I could sing you a song about all my frustrations
I'll take every single one of you on
My plate to eat you with knife, fork and spoon
And I will no longer idly observe
While you take all the success I deserve
I've been humble
Indiscernible as an ant in a line
How does one stand out
Without drawing attention

Will I just
03:10
|

If at all
When was it you
How can I tell the difference between
My own intuition and something more
Is there something more
Is there some force
That will bring me
Back around
When I fin'ly go to sleep
Will I fin'ly know
Or will I just
