Cafe Weirdo

I am so excited
I’ve seen your face
I am so misguided
I need a taste
Chasing nothing around
Looking like a unborn clown
In a world of choices
We only choose to be or not be
Alone
(2nd: Staring at your stupid phone)
I am so distracted
By your apathy
If there’s ever anything I can do for you
Just let me know
I am sick to death with
Remembering

Golden Opportunities
04:18
|
|||
Optimistic, pessimistic
I don’t think it makes a difference
East coast or west coast
We are wanting the most
Out of life, and it’s all right
First place, last place
It doesn’t matter if you take
First class or coach class
We are on the same plane
Up in the sky, and it’s flying so high
All life brings is golden opportunities
All life brings is long, long sunny days
All life brings is breakfast in the morning
And I am alive for today
Input, output
The world still stands on your foot
Tongue-tied, there’s no time
For you to decide
When, how, or why we all need a ride
Will you ever know how deep the sea can be?
Will you ever see how green the trees can be?
Will you always be the one who’s there for me
In my time of need?
Implicit, explicit
All you’ve gotta to do is listen
Feet first, head first
All we do is absurd
Hey but you know that
It’s a well-known matter of fact
Give me gravy, I’m gonna lick my plate clean

My Truth
03:22
|
|||
Anyone can see it’s time
To read between the lines
As anyone can feed a flame
Or learn to play a game
I’ll say it
Sometimes I can’t feel my face
It’s like it’s been erased
But somehow I know I will be
When that big old dog stops chasing me
Anyone can sleep all day
Or stand in his own way
As anyone can cut his own hair
Or be unaware
I’ll say it
No one can save me from this
Expensive room in a palace
I see the sun climb through the blinds
As I aim for you, my truth
My truth is true
My truth is you

What's The Use?
03:27
|
|||
Nowhere fast
Running low on cash
Erase the past
Well time is all too real
And it’s all anyone can feel
Who’s laughing at that?
I wanna know
Tell me I’d like to know
Who’s laughing at that?
Who’s laughing?
I am at you, you fool
You dumb fool
What’s the use?
Stung by a bee
Repeatedly
Hold on
So independently
Passed out on a lawn
With only one shoe on

Ode To Self
03:51
|
|||
Give back what you receive
Live life most honestly
More time than space is all you need
Pay attention to the void
Turn off all noises
Take no heed of any misery
I’ve become something I cannot identify
It’s all I can do to enjoy
My time on this planet
It’s all I can do
Give thanks to those who feed
See suffering recede
Lay back on a cloud of dreams
Drift off in fond regard
Tall tales written on scars
Live longer than anyone prefers to
Redefine
Rearrange
Every ounce of pain is dripping from your eyes
But the worry I see is to never say so
The sun so soon may set
On a man with a fishing net
No plan gives him no peace of mind
Hunger eats him up inside
Hunger is our means to survive
Hunger takes what’s given from within

With You
03:13
|
|||
Baby I am awake
I’ve got lots to say
Baby I am afraid
I can’t stay away
And life is passing me by
Someday soon
I’ll be with you
Someday soon I will be
With you
Baby it’s no use
I am still confused
Baby it’s no fun
Always on the run
And life is passing you by
They say the grass is always greener
On the other side
Satisfaction’s guaranteed
If you only try
But you’ve gotta want it badly
Baby what’s the rush
What’s with all the fuss
Baby what’s the phrase
You’d like me to say
To stop life passing us by

The Less I Know
03:42
|
|||
No ambition, no excuse
No demands made on you
Nothing doing, no sympathy
No position I’d rather to be in with you
It seems to me, love is a dream we share (3rd: both share)
But we are unprepared
For what’s coming
No devices, no intent
No ill will is all I meant
Less aggression, more confession
A decision has been made before today
The less I know the better off I’ll be
I know I need something
Something I can’t see
Something I believe
It’s real simple: eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth will make us all die
Total vision, myopia
Soon creates dystopia
The less I know

Say When
03:00
|
|||
Feel the fire burning inside you
Stay close to me
Let it burn until you’ve learned it’s
Easier to see
A rising tide
Preys upon the empty eyes
Of your constant alibis
Push to shove comes into play
I may as well be your friend
Until you say when
Come again
Suggestions, you’ve learned lessons
You know history
Well opinions, they are like onions
They make me cry sometimes
Letting off some steam, you scream
In a long distant way
Nothing new to say
At the end of the day
We’re all searching for something
Something we can’t find
Lost in the rhythm and blues inside our private lives
The private lives of you & I

Put Upon
03:28
|

Back in the day
When we were young with nothing to say
Going through a phase
Couldn’t find our way out of a paper bag
That’s what they all say
If you don’t act your age
It’s a game we never wanted to play
Melody plain
You have so many different names
They all sound the same
All the same you never change
A moth into a flame
Who only wanted fame
Such a shame, it’s such a crying shame
“Get in line,” they say
No way, Jose
“Shut your mouth and
Swallow the pills we gave you”
It’s insane
Living like this
Being at all
Minutes turn into hours
Into days
Into months and months into seconds
Seconds turn into years
Into lives
Into earth and memory
So please
Please don’t leave me this way
I promise to always behave
From now on

Can't Be Told
03:56
|
|||
You can say it loud
You can write it down
You can sing it slow
My heart cannot be told (3rd: You ought to know)
Long living in a daze
Feeling a million miles away from OK
Focusing on the rain
I know why hearts cannot be told
Hearts cannot be told
Young or old
Something you saw you’d see
It’s something you knew you’d know so long ago
Something you felt you’d feel
I know why hearts cannot be told
Hearts cannot be told
Young or old
It’s a bad idea
Listening to the voices in your head
They’re so unclear
Just focus on today instead
You’ll be OK
Someway
No cigarette will fix anything
No whiskey will undo anything for you
No pillow can remove
I know why hearts cannot be told
Hearts cannot be told
Young or old
