Ready, Able 03:57
lyrics
I know it’s scary, I know it’s painful I think you’re ready, I think you’re able You feel unsteady, a bit unstable I think you’re ready, I think you’re able You say you’re fragile, but that’s a fable I think you’re ready I recognize you, you’re from the paper They tried to hide you, but you’re no faker You get a vision, you’re sticking to it You’re on a mission but never knew it I know it’s scary, I know it’s painful I think you’re ready You know it’s high time, the learn to fly time You’re in the right place but in the wrong mind You’re taking me high, you’re taking me low I got no worries, I’m incognito You miss the lay-up, but grab a rebound You think you’re small but you make a big sound You take a mean swing, you miss the whole thing It’s not an issue, you do what you dream It’s not a hurdle, it’s just an angle You’re running circles, you get entangled You mark the date and you track the progress You’ve got the answer, it’s under your desk You see the walls but it’s an illusion It only leads to the wrong conclusion I know it’s scary, I know it’s painful I think you’re ready You know it’s high time, the learn to fly time You’re in the right place but in the wrong mind You’re taking me high, you’re taking me low I got no worries, I’m incognito You miss the lay-up, but grab a rebound You think you’re small but you make a big sound You take a mean swing, you miss the whole thing It’s not an issue, you do what you dream

There's Not a Lot to Think About Anymore 03:19
lyrics
There is not a lot to think about anymore Every thought’s been thought and the new ones are such a bore The solution now is to lay down on the floor Because there’s not a lot to think about anymore You’re elusive and unable to be sought You sell contraband but you’ve never gotten caught The attempts at your apprehension are for naught I try to think of you but you still evade my thought Past generations have lain the foundations For thoughtless relations in a world without patience Take me to Vegas, I want to be famous And I’m feeling shameless, it’s ok to be brainless If there’s not a lot that’s going on upstairs Know it’s just the way that our world has been prepared The results are in and they shake me to my core Cause there’s not a lot to think about anymore

New Music 02:15
lyrics
New music kicks old music’s ass Don’t talk to me about the past I don’t plan to spend any time there anymore You live in a fantasy land Sayonara to your favorite band They aren’t going to tour Japan anymore Say goodbye to your cigs and tapes From now on it’s only streaming and vapes Oh I know you want to hang on But the future is here and your relics are gone Close down all the record stores Board up those windows and doors What the hell are they good for anymore? I might be a child for now Soon I’ll raise a sacred cow Substitutions I’ll disavow anymore Say goodbye to your cigs and tapes From now on it’s only streaming and vapes Oh I know you want to hang on But the future is here and your relics are gone

The Maverick 02:24
lyrics
You say words that have no meaning but to you They’re true, it’s still deceiving when you can’t convey Some essence of yourself You look tired, you look like perfection But the kind of perfect that’s slightly crooked to one side I’d put that piece up in my hall Two naked eyes stare into mine I can’t divide by any means tonight Barely alive on the inside I won’t survive an avalanche tonight I’m half drunk but fully devoted If you fill my cup our house will be flooded And I don’t know how to do my own repairs You’re so slick you slip from existence It’s a crafty trick, so prone to resistance Everybody needs a plan to disappear Two naked eyes stare into mine I can’t divide by any means tonight Barely alive on the inside I won’t survive an avalanche tonight

Go Long 03:17
lyrics
I sit inside and call the shots I make a few and miss a lot Whiff a lot I’m barely here, feel I’m a ghost But call me when I’m needed most Cause I can go long, I can go long So throw the ball as far as you can I’m rich enough to need no one I buy that stuff because it’s fun Fun and dumb I’m bored and stiff and hard to move I have something I need to prove That I can go long, I can go long So throw the ball as far as you can Have I exhausted my use? Showing signs of stagnation Give me something to do And throw the ball as far as you can

Thinking, Feeling 03:22
lyrics
What are you thinking? What are you feeling in thought? Can you think feeling? Can you think feeling right up? Do you think faster If you can master the art It’s a disaster When you try thinking with heart I’m always mixing I’m always mixing the two sides Don’t know why I won’t give them separate rooms To grow into My, you’ve grown so quickly too What are you feeling? What are you thinking in sense? Can you feel thinking? Can you feel thinking intense? Do you feel rapture If you can capture the time It’s a disaster When you try feeling with mind I’m always mixing I’m always mixing the two sides Don’t know why I won’t give them separate rooms To grow into My, you’ve grown so quickly too

In Bed 02:14
lyrics
In a bed with a girl watching TV Thinking life is so amazing When you’re grazing on some alternate reality Then again what a sin To keep staring, wearing comforters for comfort or For burning love, for brushing up on fantasy Living for the ever present Making sure each moment’s pleasant Don’t look at the time In a bed with a girl who keeps snoozing Always losing track of when and where she Must appear it isn’t here and that’s the shit Staring into a screen feeling toxic As you watch it makes the world feel small But safe and warm, a blanket on over your feet Living for the ever present Making sure each moment’s pleasant Don’t look at the time In a bed with a girl feeling holy Solely focusing on nothing much But such and such and touchy touch It feels like love Living for the ever present Making sure each moment’s pleasant Don’t look at the time

Leave the Mystery Alone 03:36
lyrics
I don’t know how it happens I just get on the plane and fly No one tells you along the way How 300 tons can float in the sky And when they brewed my coffee While waiting for the plane to depart The reaction between hot water and bean Was tearing my mind apart Before I went to bed You tried to explain on the phone But I just want you to shut up And leave the mystery alone I don’t know how it happens I just put the pen to the pad A thought pops in and then through the pen A written idea can be had The thoughts can be robotic Sometimes they might feel forced And other times they can feel so sublime That I’m left to ponder the source Before I went to bed You tried to explain on the phone But I just want you to shut up And leave the mystery alone I don’t know how it happens The connection between you and me The chemical bond that makes us fond Of each other’s company There are many books about it None of which I will read How boring it is to take a quiz To be with who you’re supposed to be Before I went to bed You tried to explain on the phone But I just want you to shut up And leave the mystery alone

Every Song 03:48
lyrics
When every song has been sung When every game has been won When every bill has been passed When every check has been cashed I will look back at this time And wonder why it felt fine To just ignore what was there And to pretend I don’t care Just to feel like I’m cool Just to feel in control When any moment my grip Could just as easily slip So why not let it hang out And why not learn to flout All those conventions and rules Only followed by fools I’m breaking free from those chains I’m finally through with those games I’m gonna say what I feel I’m gonna do it for real I’m gonna start some new trends I’m gonna kiss all my friends I’m gonna learn to play chess I’m gonna sharply dress I’m gonna build a new town And then I’ll burn it all down I’m gonna do a cartwheel And say the things I feel I’m gonna run from my home I’m gonna greet the unknown When all the knowledge is found When all the logic is sound When all the floors have been swept When all the secrets are kept I will look back at this time And wonder why it felt fine To just ignore what was there And to pretend I don’t care I’m breaking free from those chains I’m finally through with those games I’m gonna say what I feel I’m gonna do it for real
