Nevermind

So I’m an old man yelling at a cloud
That’s hacked to bits and follows me around
And I just can’t seem to shake it
‘Cause I both love and hate it
But it’s got me feeling jaded all the time
‘Cause every well is poison in the ground
And every olive branch is whittled down
To make the slings and arrows
That cut us to the marrow
At the depth of our despair those trolling lines
Oh, never mind
Never mind
So improved means meet your unimproved end
And maybe he can add you as a friend
You can keep him in your pocket
‘Till the contents of his content
Slice your eyes up in their sockets ‘till you’re blind
Oh, never mind
Yeah, never mind
Well, it seems the revolution has been monetized
Quoth the better angels of our nature
Never mind
Never mind
I could leave with “well whatever”
But it’s been done so much better
And if I’m not half as clever
Well, it’s fine
Yeah, I get the poison apple
And my lawn’s completely trampled
But every crazy diamond gets to shine
So, never mind
Yeah, never mind
Yeah, never mind
Never mind

I found no comfort
without having you around
All the friends I lost
don't think about it know
Jacaranda Is starting to fall
It reminds me of when time would crawl
I wanna go back
I wanna take my time
I wanna do right
I wanna be more kind
I wanna nother chance at all the love that I lost
I'll pay whatever it costs
Oh won't you come over
My skin's turned from pink to blue
Now im crossing over
But I'm not over you
Over you
Indigo, Indigoing , Indigone
My skin's been turning
When you turned around
You walked away
Don't think about it now
It's a challenge
Just getting up and down
Took for granted things
Like tryin' to get around
When I was young I never wanted to wait
When I was young I tried to tempt my fate
I tried to take from life all that I could take
But my how it's gotten late
Won't you come over
My skin's turned from pink to blue
Now im crossing over
But I'm not over you
Over you
As Lifes Rich Pageant played
She kept repeating What if we give it away ?
As the hour had gotten late
All but static was all that had remained
Oh death, she strips away
All the fabric that time left in it's wake
So hold on to your innate
Rosey Magic - Don't let it slip away
Won't you come over
My skin's turned from pink to blue
Now im crossing over
But I'm not over you
Over you
Indigo, Indigoing, Indigone

Be Careful

When I was younger and reckless with myself
I didn’t have a care or think of no one else
And it was all about me against the world
But then I met you girl
You told me
Be very careful
Be very careful
Be very careful
Be careful with me
I thought that I had love figured out this time
I did the things that I knew would make you smile
For fear I lost myself I led my heart astray
As I pushed you away
I heard you say
Be very careful
Be very careful
Be very careful
You mean a lot to me
Be very careful
Be very careful
Be very careful
Be careful with me
I am old enough to know that I was wrong
I want you in my life, I want you in my song
I beg you darlin, give me one more chance
Darlin take my hand
I promise ill
Be very careful
Be very careful
Be very careful
I’m holding on to, how gently you held on to me
Please let me show you, how very careful I can be
Be very careful
Be very careful
Be very careful

Resigned
03:36

Every year I see more grey between the black and white
So much it seems as if it’s all there is
And the certitude of youth is really something that I’ve come to miss
There’s a part of me that always thinks the coast is clear
And there’s another part that knows it’s not
And they can argue on the merits of awareness of the shoes that drop
So here’s to giving up the ghost
When I can’t move
Through doors and windows slamming closed And if it’s true
Am I resigned to scoring goals
Wherever I’ve moved the posts
And pushing on into the night Is wearing thin
Just ‘cause a tunnel has a light Don’t mean it ends
And it will have to be alright But is it alright?
Is it alright?
Am I alright?
Have I resigned?
It’s getting harder to be up for what can let me down
My expectations are a concrete kite
Been disappointed now so many times my hopes have got a fear of heights
But in retrospect I never had a lot to offer you
No workin’ mojo that I can’t get back
No gold-certified transmission from the bottom of my saddest sack
So here’s to giving up the ghost
When I can’t move
Through doors and windows slamming closed
And if it’s true
Am I resigned to scoring goals
Wherever I’ve moved the posts
And pushing on into the night Is wearing thin
Just ‘cause a tunnel has a light
Don’t mean it ends
And it will have to be alright
But is it alright?
Is it alright?
Am I alright?
Am I resigned?

Old Dream

Old Dream, find another dreamer
Take this non believer and make yourself anew
Old Dream, My courage has gone leeward
So point your bowsprit seaward and sail into the blue
Yeah That’s what I would do
Go find another chaser
And I will seek a true
Memory eraser
To tell my troubles to
The writings on the wall
It’s time for me to say
Adieu
To old dreams, Old dreams
Old Dream, Dreamin’ of tomorrow
Parting’s such sweet sorrow
I hope good fortune follows

Cassandra

It comes to you out of the blue
And suddenly you know
But knowing still leaves every shoulder cold Plant a flag on future ground
Await the accolades
But no one ever makes a sound
You wait, and wait, and wait
Oh, Cassandra
They don’t know what they don’t know Oh, Cassandra
There’s no market for your soul
And Cassandra
You broke the mold
But they’ll never know
It’s heads they win and tails you lose
With every single toss
And the only medal given you was an albatross If better mousetraps never fail
Why do you smell a rat
And the grindstone where they cut your rails
Is always on your back
Oh, Cassandra
They don’t know what they don’t know
Oh, Cassandra
There’s no market for your soul
And Cassandra
You broke the mold
You broke the mold
But they’ll never know
They’ll never know
It comes to you out of the blue
As far as you can tell
It’s never really breaking through
‘Till it comes to someone else
Oh, Cassandra
They don’t know what they don’t know
Oh, Cassandra
There’s no market for your soul
And Cassandra
You broke the mold
You broke the mold
But they’ll never know

I know I’m the fool and your the serif
And maybe that word don’t mean what I think
I know my life and I want to share it
Ever since the night, we both talked over a drink
I think I’m just lookin’ for attention
Maybe you’ll send yours my way
I know the night time has me longing for
Someone somewhere who will tell me everythings ok
Someone somewhere who wants to be the best part of my day
So maybe won’t you stay
So far , So far it’s been hopeless
So long, Were lost in a crowd
So far , my songs have been noteless
For so long , So what now
I think I’m just looking for affection
And maybe I was touched by your reply
You think I’m just doing my impression
Of someone somewhere who cant be the one to say goodbye
Cause someone else could be the one who gets to kiss you goodnight
So tell me what is right
So far, So far I’ve been reckless
So close but no cigar and
So far , I know I’ll regret this
So close, so here we are
Let’s get lost in these shadows
In these shadows of our doubts
Even though we’re embattled
We found what needs finding out
Lets not fight this feeling
Lets both see how it unfolds
If I’m gonna fight
I wanna fight to be the one you hold
So far, so far from the ending
So close , wait don’t take yer bow
So far, I know you’ve been bending
So close, Don’t break now
So far, So good when you hold me
So close, there’s no way to fall
So far, you’re still praying for me
So long, So say we all.

I Do

‘Till you showed up I didn’t understand
I thought I knew love but only’d just shaken its hand
And child is the father of the man
Now I understand
The dawn has passed and I can see the day
Raise a glass to the wolves I’ve been keeping at bay
So when you ask how they could be that way
What will I say
Just that you can’t make them love you
And you can’t make them care
And the life you’re growing up to won't be fair
If they don’t see your certain something
Doesn’t mean there’s nothing there
And they may not love you
But I do
Someday this all will feel just like a dream
A story song ‘bout someone that used to be me
To sing along’s to hear what I believe
You need to hear
Just that you can’t make them love you
And you can’t make them care
And the life you’re growing up to won't be fair
If they don’t see your certain something
Doesn’t mean there’s nothing there
And they may not love you
But I do
You know you can’t make them love you
And you can’t make them care
And the life you’re growing up to won't be fair
And part of love is seeing something
Not everyone can see is there
And they may not love you
But I do
And they may not love you
But I do
They may not love you
But I do

High Watermark

Then, you took ‘em by surprise
The jewel in every eye
An emerald city full of sighs
Then, you paraded in the black
A shockwave to the slack
Even the wind had your back
It’s true
It was one for the record books
One for the record books
It was one for the record books
Your high watermark
Now, your name is a routine
Those clocks you used to clean
They never stopped ticking
Now, that shadow looms aloft
The ghost of what you’re not
But now it’s you it really haunts
It’s you
It was one for the record books
One for the record books
It was one for the record books
Your high watermark
It’s you
It was one for the record books
One for the record books
It was one for the record books
Your high watermark
It was one for the record books
It was one for the record books
Your high watermark
It was one for the record books
It was one for the record books
Your high watermark

Wasted

Yeah I’m bothered by this
Yeah it eats me alive
That your bothering me now
Just trying to get a rise
But you’re proving once again
I wasted all my breath
You wasted all my love
You wasted all my time
Yeah you left me in distress
I got high and made a mess
Im sure I looked a dick
When I took back all my shit
How could I have been so thick
I may be about of my mind
I may be out of line
But I ain’t wasting no more time
I ain’t wasting no more time
I ain’t wasting no more time
I ain’t wasting no more time
I ain’t wasting no more breath
I ain’t wasting no more breath
I ain’t wasting no more time
On you
Woof
