4 Minutes of Peace

Take all my last 4 minutes, before I'm lost again
If you want them, they're yours to spend
I really wanna stay, but I'll have a lot to say
When I see your smile again
Breathe deep and watch my folly. My sun is setting fast
Where gremlins rip my soul to shreds
So share a glass of wine. Help me sew a stitch in time
I'm used to it by now
4 sweeps until I drown beyond where love would help
Don't waste your grief on me. Next trip we'll have more time
6 billion stars are shining upon my wave goodbye
Oh night divine to be alive
My sinking feeling's hard. Like holidays and birthday cards
It always smarts when no one cares
My love I hate to leave you. I can't hold on for long
Gremlins are breathing down my neck
Let's dream with all our might. All I wanted was to write
And that's not so much to ask
4 sweeps until I'm gone. Watch my soul ignite
Remember me this way and say another prayer
Forget the old cliche, it's blackest upon black
I'm so in love with you and dying to come home

Left on Massard

When it's hot and dark, and you're swatting flies
Do you think of the crossroads & ghosts from the past
At the twilight hour turning left at the light
Strangers on the stairs, and the second floor
Looking out to the night to a future not there
Shirts are stuck to their backs in the dirty, muggy air
Can you see their tombs, do their specters rise
Do they scold you and hold you to promises made to yourself
What's your purpose now
What's your purpose now
Why's your bedroom drape a blanket and a flag?
Are there bugs on your windshield and bitter tastes left from the ride?
Can you see their tombs, do their specters rise
Do they scare you and dare you to try something you haven't tried
What's your purpose now
What's your purpose now
What's your purpose now

Keeping busy, gee I'm dizzy, time to bruise my face again
Shiny, sunny, they laugh, it's not funny
They don't understand
Deep breath, panting, swallow, grab hold
Where have these two days gone
Last one I swear, then bite my tongue again
I have to know what's over there
No time to stop and breathe
Bluer blues and greener greens
Who'll answer me this time
Somebody answer me
This really is unfair, defeated by my maker's mold
Kept away from sweeter air, to breath the sweetness in my lungs
Could it be the most fun I've ever had
I'll rest my arms and try again

These Heavy Bags

I'm not sore, I'm not shy
And I don't care it's not a good time
I'm gonna see the morning break
I'm getting by and it's getting late
The spring was yours. The summer's mine
These heavy bags and stay behind
I've gotta set this suitcase down
Cause if I don't I'm gonna drown
Here's how this works, how it's gonna be
Nobody gets to throw the bombs around but me
This heavy load, it isn't fair
You've taken way more than your share
You can keep whatever's left
And this is what will happen next
The balance here is gonna shift
This heavy weight is more than I can lift
I will throw the bombs around
I will throw the bombs around
The spring was yours. The summer's mine
These heavy bags can stay behind.
There's been enough of those awkward stares
At any rate, I just don't care
This rotten arc is gonna bend
And this angry tale has got to end
The spring was yours. The summer's mine
These heavy bags can stay behind
I will throw the bombs around
I will throw the bombs around

Whatever, Marlboro

I'd rather call but we'd start a fight
So until I do, my phone's still off the hook
It's been a while now. I still sleep on my side
Do you still bite your lip? Like you always did
I should feel sick inside because I'll say it was my fault
I still hate your folks. Don't "whatever' me
All the things I said couldn't stop the world from crashing through
Dragging through my head are all the things I should have said to
You were the one who stuck like glue
When I left you wondering about us
I can't change the past now but sometimes
I wish that we'd never even met
Won't complain but I can say I got what I deserved
Like the ones before, I had to turn and frown
If you stray too far, reminisce of dark knights filled with snow
Cold under the stars I told you where you are and wherever you go
I love you
