Act Your Age

I stole some spoons
From my parent's house
And made myself a nice café
And even though they
Were not put out
I thought I should act my age
Truck door opened at the light
This was news to me
Neighbor lady held surprise
And shared a smile
He brushed the crumbs right off his gut
Didn't think about it
Didn't bother him that much
I stole some spoons
From my parent's house
And made myself a nice café

Tough Guys

Is it okay if I sit here?
So you haven't been sleeping thru the night
Is it making plans and building piers?
Or sitting under florescent lights?
I know you want to do
this on your own
It's hard to tell
is this what I want?
Familiar folks, they lived upstairs
they never heard a thing
The water seeping thru the cracks
They never checked between your ears
too busy looking at your back
I know you want to do
this on your own
It's hard to tell
is this what I want?
Is this all you want to be
Is this all you want to be
Is it all because
Is it all because
Is it all because
Of me

Is It Really

I've been thinking a lot lately
I know
Your mind has been made up
If you could
Reach up your hand and hold it out
I'd come and get it
I'm at a loss
Is this really what you wanted?
Is it really what you thought?
It would be
To be alone
And tell your mom you're done
While she is crying
Ran a stop light
On a tear
Age them up a thousand years
And you don't care
Is this really what you wanted?
Is it really what you thought?
Now that you're done seeing colors
Your words echo round my head
Should let it go because we're brothers
Feeling sick because I can't

It's like a death of a thousand cuts
I guess it doesn't matter all that much
I live in a box with no windows
And one day it's gonna come down to blows
You take pride in what you think is right
But is that what really keeps you up at night?
A dog piss stain on a garden sack
You've said something you can't take back
Why don't you just forget about it?
It's not yours to fight
Or is this just your fetish?
You know I'm right
How did your mouth ever let you get this far?
You almost killed me in your lime green car

birches bow with delight
their limbs fallen heavy with snow
is this the right line?
take us where we need to go

Taste

Feeling low
You've packed your bags and run again
Left me home with the cat
I can't go cause it's too hard
Leave me tied up in the yard
I never know where you're at
Do you know what it feels like?
I've told you once or twice
How do you feel?
I've got another dry meal
Come on, show me who you are
I can feel it in my toes
Scrounge the pity you can show
Let's go for a ride in your car
All day I wait
For you to come
I've had my taste
I wonder
It doesn't make
A difference
Bad times, they fade
I want to
Do you know what it feels like?
I've told you once or twice
Do you know what it feels like?
It cuts just like a knife

Introducing
Curbs to the dirt
There's room down 9
One more couldn't hurt
Cookie cutters
Stand in line
I'll move somewhere else
I got mine
Never wanted to be about it
Spent my young years
Dreaming in the hall
Self sustained architecture
With sunlight coming from the bulbs
So what
I had a kid or two
Romanticism doesn't pay the bills
On my brand new pickup truck
Bob's got one so why can't I too?

Under the Stairs

Last night I heard you come around
Oh god damn
What a sound
Pervade my dreams by fire escape
Oh god damn
What does it take?
How long can I lie awake?
Understand
It's kinda late
A soft click rings out thru the night
Oh god damn
Bring out the light
Your search of salt found you a friend
Oh god damn
How does it end?
Back up plan
It all depends
Now and then
You're back again
I'm the rat underneath your stairs
Oh god damn
I'm ill prepared
Television signals from the bow
Oh god damn
We're in town
Said it then
I'm kinda loud
Crank to ten
I wrote it down

Got the gall up for a ride
It's been awhile
Since we took a walk outside
Or seen your smile
Got the call that you had been afraid to dial
I thought I had more time
Running wild through pines behind our home
Did you think that it would come to this
When you left your note?
But you were right underneath my nose
Never thought that you wouldn’t be getting old
-----
I see you every time I close my eyes
Swimming as hard as you can against the tide
No one to blame
Boy I know that I tried
Tough pill to take
but I'll swallow it in time
