Something from Nothing

Sometimes you go to a party
where you don't have a friend
you feel a little bit lonely
ain't got no money to spend
you wander out on the dance floor
you feel the rhythm and light
you almost didn't leave the house tonight
now it's quarter past midnight
you're making something from nothing
you've been gathering clues
you're making something from nothing
when you've got nothing to lose
so say goodbye to the rat race
take yourself out of the running
you'll find yourself in a new place
when you make something from nothing
so you've been checking your inbox
like it's your favorite past time
you've got holes in your gym socks
and you're down to your last dime
instead of waiting for the knockout
it's time you learn how to take the hit
cause you know that your ship will arrive
when you no longer wait for it
you're making something from nothing
you're busy gathering clues
you're making something from nothing
when you've got nothing to lose
so say goodbye to the rat race
take yourself out the running
you'll find yourself in a new place
when you make something from nothing

Twisted

I haven't slept for a week
I've been blaming the heat
we both know it's a lie
I've been late for work
shaky on my feet
since the 4th of july
we knew the wind would change
we both knew the danger
and you're no stranger to circumstance
the opportunity was planned
there's nothing random about a wayward glance
I tried to go for a walk last night
but I barely circled the block
I stayed up for morning light
but I couldn't handle the shock
we knew the wind would change
we both knew the danger
and you're no stranger to circumstance
the opportunity was planned
there's nothing random about a wayward glance
if I could turn back time past the scene of the crime
before I ever knew you existed
if I had my way with any luck some day
we'll both understand
how we got so
now I'm back online
waiting here for a sign
trying to follow the plot
your broken timer is on
when it goes off I'm gone
if you like it or not
we knew the wind would change
we both knew the danger
and you're no stranger to circumstance
the opportunity was planned
there's nothing random about a wayward glance
if I could turn back time past the scene of the crime
before I ever knew you existed
if I had my way with any luck some day
we'll both understand
how we got so
if I could turn back time past the scene of the crime
before I ever knew you existed
if I had my way with any luck some day
we'll both understand
how we got so twisted

Apophenia

broken string
arm in a sling
you’re on your own
curtain falls
engine stalls
you’re all alone
you saw your favorite colors on a beach somewhere
you look around but you can’t find them anywhere
a wobbly chair
a vacant stare
your sleepy eyes
a second thought
a dream that caught you
by surprise
there’s no one left to tell you when you’re in too deep
your changing mind is free to wander in your sleep
patterns form and vanish in the air
drawing lines that were never really there
you'llread the signs all over social media
apophenia
a trailer hitch
a dimmer switch
and a secret sigh
a crescent moon
a desert tune
and a long goodbye
you'll never know until you go behind the scenes
how the show is barely held together by the seams
an echo falls
down empty halls
then it disappears
your therapist
runs down a list of
your ancient fears
when a puzzle comes together in the fading light
check the box make sure you've got the picture right
patterns form and then vanish in the air
drawing lines that were never really there
you’ll read the signs all over social media
oh… apophenia
when the tanks are low
and the shelves are bare
and you start to find connections everywhere
when a spark spreads out like a solar flare
you're halfway there
a room for three
a new degree
but it's on the side
a tire swing or a diamond ring
honey you decide
the date is set now do the work till you get it right
but take your time looks like you're on your own tonight
patterns form and then vanish in the air
drawing lines that were never really there
you’ll read the signs all over social media
oh… apophenia

Simpler Times

supply, demand, redefine your brand
fall asleep with the tv on
dream shot
back a knot
wake up just to do it again
out the door, running late
trouble on the interstate
traffic choking the air
deja vu years ago
you've been there but you'd never know
where or when
on a long cross-country ride
4 windows open wide
miles into years gone by
on the highway where we learned to read the signs
and the road was open like a runway
but those were simpler times
back door, kitchen floor
fly in the utensil drawer
roof is leaking again
drip, slow, steady
but the sky looks like it's ready to pour
clouds grey, turning black
roofer he ain't coming back
says he lost your address
but anyone could get it done
if only you would settle for less, not more
like a long cross-country ride
4 windows open wide
miles into years gone by
on the highway where we learned to read the signs
and the road was open like a runway
but those were simpler times
I drove new mexico
when you gonna let it go
jerry's on the radio sinigin'
row jimmy row jimmy
I know you liked it when they played it real real slow
jimmy row
false alarm heart attack
chiropractor fixed your back
best you've slept in years
start low, take it slow
ready when you walk out the door
roof is patched, bills paid
mercury in retrograde
baby knock on wood
but green screen time machine
you know you'd go back if you could, once more
like a long cross-country ride
4 windows open wide
miles into years gone by
on the highway where we learned to read the signs
and the road was open like a runway
but those were simpler times
like a long cross-country ride
4 windows open wide
miles into years gone by
the highway like a pardon for our crimes
and the road was open like a runway
but those were simpler times

you try to keep an open heart
you never know where to start
on the wrong end of a gun
try to be an open book
maybe take a second look
at the lies you could never outrun
every time you need a rest
you come upon another test
your phasers set to stun
you've been talking in your sleep
making promises you could never keep
you slowly come undone
but the best, the best, the best is yet to come
the best, the best, the best is yet to come
afraid of falling off the tour
you won't always be so insecure
this show's a second run
some lessons better left unlearned
the Romans watched while Athens burned
civilization zero, nation-building one
walking through a vacant dorm
a deviation from the norm
never been your kind of fun
do something you fear the most
instead of hiding out from tomorrow's ghost
in yesterday's setting sun
the best, the best, the best is yet to come
the best, the best, the best is yet to come
allow yourself to work out the kinks
the hours pass while eternity blinks
you're wound up tighter than a snare drum
take yourself for a rainy walk
look up from the cracks in the side walk
let the blood flow to where you're numb
point yourself down the nearest road
don't stop till you hit an overload
it doesn't matter where you came from
cause it's who you are not where you've been
if you're wiling to mine the dark within
with a dead flashlight, some duct tape and a couple of outdated rules of thumb
the best, the best, the best is yet to come
the best, the best, the best is yet to come
