Knee Pads

I’ve spent the last few years anticipating
Being older but feeling so afraid of aging
I made it to the age I always wanted to be
Now I’m jealous of the kids who make the most of things
I’m a little distant from it all
Linger where I’m most comfortable
You’re saying, “Don’t look down, don’t lose your edge”
While you loosen my grip
And you send me plummeting
But we got the bumpers on
We got a sense of security
You send me plummeting
But we keep the knee pads on
We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees
I’ve got no one left to impress here
I do the same things but they don’t get easier
You know the lightning strike has completely faded
You wouldn’t get the joke if I made it
There were grass stains on my jeans
And dirty fingers on loosened baby teeth
I shouldn’t been marking my path with blood
Now I can’t find my way back from where
You send me plummeting
But we got the bumpers on
We got a sense of security
You send me plummeting
But we keep the knee pads on
We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees
It’s all leading up to this
But it’s all downhill from here
I’m dying to be reborn
What is there to look forward to
When there’s so much to miss out on?
I’m dying to be re-
You send me plummeting
But we got the bumpers on
We got a sense of security
You send me plummeting
But we keep the knee pads on
We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees

Keep Cool

Everything I’ve felt before has gone away
And this will too
I don’t know what’s good for me
If I’m good for you
But I just saw you look for me
In a crowded room
I find it so hard to wait
And I cannot keep my cool
I’ve become less intrigued
With the way things are trying to be
But I still wonder what you dream about
When you breathe heavily
I can see me making so many mistakes
I can see me letting all this go to waste
I don’t know if I stressed it enough
Now I don’t know if we’re friends anymore
Everything I’ve ever said
Has meant nothing to anyone
What’s the point of all of this
If no one asks what’s wrong?
I know I’ve got a lot of growing up to do
It’s nothing new
Ground me, bring me back to earth
You know I’d do the same for you
If I knew what to do
Would I like it as much as I’m trying to?
I still don’t know
What all of this means to you
I want to believe in something greater than me
I want to be the dog sitting in the backseat
I don’t know if I stressed it enough
Now I don’t know if we’re friends anymore

Coat Pt. 2
02:41

Alright, I’m ready
I know you still have my coat
But it’s getting so goddamn cold
And I know you still have my coat
Winter’s here and I was wondering
If I could get it back
Past the living room
Records on the floor
Don’t know where I am
Don’t know where you are
See the lantern’s lit
Do I go upstairs?
I know I wanna
I know you still have my coat
But it’s getting so goddamn cold
And I know you still have my coat
Winter’s here and I was wondering
If I could get it back
Smoke’s pouring out
Laying on the floor
Generosity’s overwhelming me
Resisting the urge to give in
I know I wanna
I know there’s no hope
I know it
I know there’s no hope
I know you still have my coat
But it’s getting so goddamn cold
And I know you still have my coat
Winter’s here and I was wondering
If I could get it back

Ride Around
04:15

Is this the road, or are we floating through space?
While the stars melt in our place
The sun lights the stars as they’re on their way
Into the wind, we must stay
The sounds of space are as vivid as
The constellations in your eyes
Take my hand as you can hear the sounds around
I forgot the way home
I’m gonna ride around
I’m gonna ride around this time
Flying past as time slows down
Danger’s lurking all around
Destination seems so close
But we’re moving too slow
Red shooting stars race past ours
Lighting the path so far
Where’s the capitol to mark our place
Lost in the night we will stay
I forgot the way home
I’m gonna ride around
I’m gonna ride around this time
Racing time
(Wondering when this will end)
Forever now
(You seem so frightened)
Time goes by
Now I don’t care
I’m gonna ride around
I’m gonna ride around this time

Messy

When I drive
I imagine the scene of a crash where I die
And it’s more
Vivid than real life
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna go
Think I lost control
I could lose control
Yeah, I lost control
I’m grinding my teeth to dust
My feet are sinking into mud
I’m grinding my teeth to dust
Please tell me I should keep it up
Everyone
Around me is doing so much better than me
And I can’t
Stop getting caught up on the wrong things
I wish I could say
I spend all my time
Doing what I want
Think I might’ve lost
Track of what I want
Yeah, I think I forgot
I’m grinding my teeth to dust
My feet are sinking into mud
I’m grinding my teeth to dust
Please tell me I should keep it up
I don’t know how
This got to be such a mess
I don’t know how
Much better this can get
I don’t know how
I stopped trying my best
I don’t know how
Much blood I can let
I’m grinding my teeth to dust
My feet are sinking into mud
I’m grinding my teeth to dust
Please tell me I should keep it up
