How do we do this (not anymore)
now that the cover's blown?
Can we get through this (closing the door)
now that you're on your own?
I know that we're sinking
I saw that you're ghosting
and I know what you're thinking
that you're not posting
Society needs you
and me to make it go
and nobody feeds you
making the money flow
You've got ten seconds to change your mind
or they'll rob you blind
yes they'll rob you blind
You've got ten seconds to walk that back
'cause they're in the black
and you won't get jack
The terrible secret (isn't a secret)
none of this breaks for you (sometimes it breaks for me)
now that you see (holding the key)
I'm spelling it out for you (telling me what to do)
Society sold us
essentially give in
that's what they told us
was making a living
You're taking a beating
I see what you're feeling now
and Nero is tweeting
you're hitting the ceiling now
You've got ten seconds to change your mind
or they'll rob you blind
yes they'll rob you blind
You've got ten seconds to understand
that it's in your hand
that it's in your hand

Be Seeing You
03:20

Come away
down to the hideaway
down flights of stairs
that's where
nobody goes
nobody but you
you threw
life's cares away
let's say
nobody
nobody can pay
nobody knew
nobody but me
you see
behind it all
it's me
and overall
I'd say
average returns
aren't worth it at all
you fall
down on your own
you're shown
everything
everything is wrong
nothing contends
nobody pretends anymore
pretends anymore
you've been here before
and it's all you
so never again
so close to the end
and no one defends you
it's all you
so rare
to care
interest accrues
so there
here is the truth
somewhere
there is a door
I hereby conclude
so dude
what will you say
to me
now that you
now that you can see
that it was me
I don't really care anymore
care anymore
the stairs to the door
are giving out
so never again
so close to the end
and no one defends you
it's all you now

the look in your eyes
sends chills up my spine
and the words that come out
leave me marking time
but I know you're just as wrong as I am
to throw stones after dark
and you know I got a good buzz on
now we're dancing, we're fighting
can't run from the lightning
should we call it quits
or just take out recycling
and I know it's just as hard for you
and is it so for me
and that I would do about anything
but I got a 30 in my pocket
that says you'll be coming home to me
I got a 30 in my pocket
that says you'll be running home to me
now just cut me up nicely
just slicing and dicing
your words cut deeper
than the teeth of a shark
and I know you've been locked out and upset
and maybe we should have it out
or maybe we can just fuck and go to bed
but I got a 30 in my pocket
that says you'll be coming home to me
I got a 30 in my pocket
that says you'll be running home to me
I got a 30 in my pocket
that says you can just keep the key
I got a 30 in my pocket
that says you'll be coming home with me

Now I don't know what to do
about the times we're going through
and I'm going down
'Cause I see the writing
on the wall I'm fighting
and you're not around
Did you cancel you now?
Whatcha gonna do now
that you're left behind
Now I'm here without
and I hear about you
all the time
From my mind ...
When I don't know what to do
then I put it all on you
and that's unkind
'Cause I know about you
and what it shows about you
that you come to mind
And I believe you
and I'll never leave you
put it on the line
Now I'm here without you
and I hear about you
all the time
From my mind ...

Soup

I barely remember how we believed
In the way that we lived and the things we received
That were taken for granted, so take it or leave
And the end of the day could be all we achieve
Are you grateful for that or do you feel useless
You feel useless
Closing the window, muting your mic
Deleting reactions, rescinding your likes
And you’re throwing a tarp on your exercise bike
Inspiration you had is refusing to strike
Can you wait anymore or is this your normal
Your new normal
Walking in town with the people all gone
Talking you down from the ledge that we’re on
That it’s never your fault and that you can belong
And that you can be happy and you can be strong
But I never believe any of that for long
Is it true?
Watching the teakettle, making some soup
And I feel like I’m stuck in an infinite loop
Cuz I’m burning through days I can never recoup
And I’m stirring the pot until we can regroup
You’re a blip on my phone and I can’t be with you
Can’t be with you
Walking in town with the people all gone
Talking you down from the ledge that we’re on
That it’s never your fault and that you can belong
And that you can be happy and you can be strong
But I never believe any of that for long
Is it true?
Is it true about you?
About every day you can get through
Is it true without you?
Without anything we can undo
It’s not any different now that I’m here
I’ve been living alone and been living in fear
And I’ve cried in my soup but I won’t shed a tear
If the end of the world doesn’t ever appear
I’ll feel nothing at all and I won’t be happy
can’t be happy
Walking in town with the people all gone
Talking me down from the ledge that we’re on
That it’s never my fault and that I can belong
And that I can be happy and I can be strong
But you never believe any of that for long
Is it true?
Is it true about you?
About every day we can get through
Is it true without you?
Without anything we can undo

Hey hey hey
it's not OK
to go where you wanna go
and put us all in play
Hey hey hey
stay away
and do what you gotta do
to keep us all at bay
stay
anyone can pray
but nobody is saved this way
My my my
say goodbye
to everything from before
that is keeping you alive
live
all the world's a hive
and nobody survives alone
Hey hey hey
it's not OK
to do what you wanna do
and put us all in play
My my my
kiss goodbye
holding me in your arms
and forgetting the reason why
why
nobody can fly
reality applies
to you and me

now you're lost at her fingertips
waiting around for the bliss that will never return, or so you say
hobbling around from door to door
the love that one needs is never the cure
waking and walking back up to the store
i cant be this man, cant do this anymore
now take what you see and kill what you need
its a life taking, mouth breathing tragedy
we'll just make believe we've nothing to grieve
and blindly tell em we're so fucking happy
travel the world from sea to sea
eventually you will find your ending
waking and walking back up to the shore
can't hold on to this burden and the sky starts to pour
now im just fine, just want to tell you how i feel
not trying to scare you, baby let's called off the deal
romeos at the packy, juliet is missing the money
were drowning memories, writing a modern catastrophe
now there's moss on your windowsill
planting a seed that will never ever sprout up. maybe someday
hiding your shame, erasing your name
the bottle is empty and so are the games
deposit or pension, cant wait for redemption
and several discretions i wont bother to mention
now turn off the fright. dont let feelings fly
walk down to the bars but the fish there don't bite
its not the stage fright and its not like i might
care what she says when i turn out the lights
hobbling around from door to door
the love that one needs is never the cure
waking and walking right into the shore
wait for the tide and til im never more

I Don't Remember

I don't remember what the movie was like
I don't remember what the movie was like
I don't remember what the movie was like at all
I don't remember what the weekend was like
I don't remember what the weekend was like
I don't remember what the weekend was like at all
If I remember what the weekend was like
I'll tell you
oh no
is there something 'bout the weekend
that nobody can sell you
oh no
But I don't remember
I don't remember at all
I don't remember what the 80s were like
I don't remember what the 80s were like
I don't remember what the 80s were like at all
If I remember what the 80s were like
I'll tell you
oh no
is there something 'bout the 80s
that nobody can sell you
oh no
But I don't remember
I don't remember at all
Do you remember what the future was like?
Do you remember what the future was like?
Do you remember what the future was like at all?
If you remember what the future was like
then tell me
oh no
'cause there's something bout the future
that nobody can sell me
oh no
But I don't remember
I don't remember at all
