Plug Into the Wall

Your always on your phone, night and day
What’s more important besides us
It’s been so long since we’ve had the time alone
To wash our laundry, paint the walls,
Vacuum up behind the stalls
You haven’t noticed, your power’s low
And now’s your chance to reach out
The light goes off and you turn to look at me
But your eyes are playing tricks on you,
and close before they see the truth
That you don’t know anything about us
Can’t remember a thing at all
Better days they are behind us
So you might as well plug into that wall
I can’t leave without saying we tried
But you’re face is still the light side of the moon
So I pack my things and I walk out
But time has flown by, and everyone’s the same

Red Flag
You’re a drag
I just sat down
Maybe if I
Turn off all the lights
You won’t know I’m around
I see you
Trying to look in
I don’t make a sound
Don’t think
It matters anyway
You’re planted in the ground
So I’ll just stay in here
Pretend you’re not there
and maybe you’ll detach and fly away
You’ll just have to wait
to point out my mistakes
but one thing I can’t say is you didn’t care
Red Flag
You’re a drag
but I just want out
And you’ll be
The first thing that I see
Let’s get it over now
I open up
Fearing for the worst
You give a look of doubt
If not today
I better hurry up
the birds are heading south
But I just stay in here
and pretend you’re not there
and maybe you’ll detach and fly away
You’ll just have to wait
to point out my mistakes
but one thing I can’t say is you didn’t care

Something Faster

Faster
You wanted something faster
This may be off topic
I can’t erase the past
the change that was promised
is not easy I confess
This path is a circle
I’ve gone round and round again
There lies a fortress
That’s only paper thin
But it keeps me going
That tonight may be the night
I learn to ignore you
learn there is no fight
We breathe in the same air
But start from a different line
By now I should know this
There are no maps or signs
Time will hide
And slowly slip away
Still we try
to take it day by day
It doesn’t stop
so grab onto a handle
Walk the walk
and learn to choose your battles

Venezuela

On the way down to Venezuela
I met a girl she had thorns in her hair
She told tales of the Flor de mayo
and where it grows, I will find the door
Two whole days travel up the river
A knife could have cut through the air
I was met with the smell of mapacho
I knew right then I had found the door
Say goodbye to the sun
Focus now on the beating of the drum
it leads you
What’s done is done
Take a breath as your body fades to none
it leaves you
Opened my eyes to the children’s laughter
What they held in their hands began to tear
They spoke to me, said I’d meet their mother
I knew right then I was still through the door
Go ahead, say hello, don’t be scared
There’s nothing she doesn’t already know
She made you
What comes next? Where do you go? Focus now
For this is what we show
and it soothes you

Don't Bother Me
05:05

Take what you want
And don’t bother me
Say what you want
but just leave me alone
What made you think that we’re still friends
We haven’t talked in a while
There’s so much, i could say but won’t
You’re not listening anyway
Everything can change within a blink
You’re not smart as you think
When will you learn to let things go
We’re getting closer to the end of the show
Before too long
We should break some bread
While we still have
Some teeth to chew
Let’s just admit we both were wrong
That’s what I’m doing right now
This won’t work, unless you drop your guard
It’s just weighing you down
Everything can change within a blink
I’m not as smart, as I think
When will I learn to let things go
We’re getting closer to the end of the show

So long Modesto
I’m sorry but you’re a mess though
And I can no longer be
in the town amongst the almond trees
I gave you all my best though
You couldn’t help but bring me down
Didn’t like who I was becoming
Didn’t like where I was bound
Even friends I had had for years
Were starting to turn on me
In the end they did me a favor
In the end they help’d set me free
And Bob is dead
He couldn’t go on
His body gave out
In search of a song
The last time I saw him
He could only blink
But when I told him I was finally getting out of here
He managed to smile at me
Now Ray’s still there to fight the fight
By playing music through the night
So please don’t take him for granted
Please don’t turn out his light
And Cici you should go back to Hawaii
Your friends may still be there
Where black is the color of the night sky
And white is the pearl in your eye
So long Modesto
I’m sorry but you know you’re a mess though
But you will still always be
The town that raised me
