hello, old friend
i haven't seen you since you moved away
maybe i've changed
or you've changed
i don't know
but if we all can talk about those times
maybe we can get along just fine
it's not like what we have isn't worthwhile
i just haven't seen you for a while
homies are friends
you make at home
they never go away
so even if you dislike them
they're gonna stick around
but if we all can talk about those times
maybe we can get along just fine
it's not like what we have isn't worthwhile
i just haven't seen you for a while
but oh, the guilt is amazing
when you talk shit to your real friends
and oh, i'm always worried that i'm not a good friend at all
but if we all can talk about those times
maybe we can get along just fine
and if we talk, know that i'm feeling good
and i'll ask you how you're doin' like a good friend should
i love all of you

Cold Ground
03:04
|

|
we tore it up for several weeks before it calmed down
covered in flowers, the air was fresh upon the cold ground
I touched your hand, you touched my hand and then it calmed down
covered in smiles, we laid our backs upon the cold ground
we made a run for it downtown before it calmed down
and we were caught by bodyguards upon the cold ground
I said oh shit, you said so what and then it calmed down
lying between our rotten teeth upon the cold ground
between the sheets and in my car before it calmed down
that look inside your pretty eyes upon the cold ground
our destinies were meant to be before it calmed down
and now we’re buried six feet deep under the cold ground

I See in Me
04:16

i wanna dance, i don't wanna be called handsome
in a trance waiting there alone
and here they come, they're walking after me
i just laugh, lose myself in harmony
i guess this life just wasn't made for me
i guess this life just wasn't made for me
cause everything's so different from the beauty i see
i see in me
i see in me
i wanna talk and hear a voice that i like
i wanna walk and swing my hips to the side
but these walls of skin and bone confine me
they stand tall, as tall as i'll ever be
i guess this life just wasn't made for me
i guess this life just wasn't made for me
cause everything's so different from the beauty i see
i see in me
i see in me
i guess this life just wasn't made for me
i guess this life just wasn't made for me
cause everything's so different from the beauty i see
i see in me
i see in me

Piss Dirt

piss dirt poor in a piss dirt town
dad just stopped coming around
had a girl, now that's in the ground
wasting time hanging around
piss dirt poor in a piss dirt town
clinging on to what's around
get real close but never amount
to anything besides feeling down
but it's coming
it's near
it's coming
it's near
it's near, it's near, it's near
the future is here
suck it up and be a man
eventually you'll be a dad
you'll settle down, it'll all be grand
if everything goes right as planned
but it's coming
it's near
it's coming
it's near
it's near, it's near, it's near
the future is here

shaylee & tarantula talking to their friends
drinking vodka from a jug in the basement
having fun in such a way to waste precious time
clock is ticking every day towards the finish line
don't you know you're a good kid
no matter what you did
and the world can't fix you
but you sure can go and fix yourself
devin & evangela stole their mama's car
they made it all the way to portland before getting caught
copper asked them to get out, made a run for it
ten bullets to the back just for being scared
don't you know you're a good kid
no matter what you did
and the world can't fix you
but you sure can go and fix yourself
you know we're doing as we think we should
as weird as it seems, i swear i'm doin the right thing
don't you know you're a good kid
no matter what you did
and the world can't fix you
but you sure can go and fix yourself

Latchkey Drive
03:30

|
it's like we're enemies
caught on latchkey drive
torn apart to shreds
living separate lives
in the end you'll see
what we had in store
nothing i could win
it's nothing i fought for
it's hard to see the light
it's hard to see at night
it's hard to see the light
it's hard to see at night
it's hard to see the light
it's hard to see at night
it's hard to see the light
it's hard to see at night
it's hard to see the light
it's hard to see at night
it's hard to see the light
it's hard to see at night

Formless
05:28

|
formless, caught up
lifeless, shut up
you're a mess
and you're nothing to no one at all
formless, uptight
loose-lipped, too bright
you're a mess
and you're nothing to no one at all
makes you wonder sometimes
makes you wonder sometimes
if going on is worth it
or if it's all a waste of time
formless, confined
dark thoughts in your mind
you're a mess
and you're nothing to no one at all
formless, undone
borders, there are none
you're a mess
and you're nothing to no one at all
wish i could cry
wish i could leave
wish i could spend
and never have to save
wish i could cry (in the supermarket)
wish i could leave (this supermarket)
wish i could spend (in the supermarket)
and never have to save
never have to save
makes you wonder sometimes
makes you wonder sometimes
if going on is worth it
or if it's all a waste of time
makes you wonder sometimes
makes you wonder sometimes
if going on is worth it
or if it's all a waste of time

one night you called me over
for a time undone
you kissed me in the dark
on your purple shag rug
on your purple shag rug
on your purple shag rug
one night you called me over
for a time undone
you punched me in the arm
on your purple shag rug
on your purple shag rug
on your purple shag rug

i am so hard to find with any peace of mind
i shoot around the stars, back and forth
i get real stoned at bars, back and forth
and never meet the par
i never meet the par
if you want something to do
just give me an hour or two
i will go i will go i will go
straight back 2 u
i am a holy ghost, dead inside but born to float
i bounce around the town, back and forth
i'm never coming down, back and forth
i'll always hang around, i'll always hang around
if you want something to do
just give me an hour or two
i will go i wll go i will go
straight back 2 u
i feel like i'm alive but I can't make up my mind
it changes with the tide, back and forth
i'm along for the ride, back and forth
an ever-changing life
an ever-changing life
if you want something to do
just give me an hour or two
woah
woah
i will go i will go i will go
straight back 2 u

see you when i get off of work
i know it's coming
anytime i feel like i'm a jerk
i know it's coming
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got them
anytime of day when i'm alone
i know it's coming
even when i pick up the phone
i know it's coming
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got them
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got the bedbugs in my skin
i got them

It's impossible to just have one favorite track, but Broken Down Boys is outstanding, as is Pay to Play. The songs are full of honesty, beauty, heart, soul, and oh yeah..they also rock!

There's Always Glimmer
by Gia Margaret

This is thoughtful and melancholy, but not morose -- there is hope in its sheer beauty. Her sensitivity as an arranger and producer is as impressive as her songwriting and singing; the whole album has a lovely sense of texture and space.
