Nightmare machine starting
First thing in the morning
Variations on a theme
Merging the worst parts of real life and of dreams
Nightmare machine fires up
First thing when i wake up
So many things that could go wrong
One of ‘em’s bound to happen before too long
I drive the car off of the bridge
I see the simulation glitch
An airplane drops out of the sky
Anything can happen, don’t need a reason why
Sometimes i look at the moon
I think it’s screaming
Some nights when i look at the moon
It looks like it’s weeping
And there’re days i think i’m dreaming when i’m awake
Nightmare machine
I’m a nightmare machine
Nightmare machine
I’m a nightmare machine

Neon signs, flashing by me and a
Cherry coke and crumpled bag of french fries lying on the passenger seat
Where you used to be
One hand out the window watching
Light play across the hood of my car from the streetlights passing by
End of another night
Riding around with your best friends
Doing the same thing every weekend
So this is what it’s really like to feel alive
Playing CDs on the stereo
Flipping through stations on the radio
Another saturday night and we’re doing all right
Driving south, past the AU campus
American graffiti ain’t got nothin on us in a honda accord
Driving not to be bored
2am by the monument and
No one’s around but everything’s still brightly lit up we’re staring up at lincoln
In downtown washington
I’m feeling so alive
With my heart open wide
The whole world seems alright
Laughing friends and neon signs
Cherry coke and french fries
See you on the other side
These are the nights i will remember
I’ll hold onto them forever
Cruisin’ around with nowhere specific in mind
Yeah this is how i will remember
The last summer together
Another saturday night and we’re doing just fine

It’s hot
Finally summer and we’re
Coming alive again
Spent the winter
Getting paler and we’ve
Got vampire skin
But now the sun’s out
We’re feeling better about
What the days ahead bring
They’re lasting longer
Stopped getting dark before five it’s time to see the ocean
So grab your towel
Get in the car
We’re headed out to rockaway
It isn’t far
Sun shines
Waves crash
Think this might last forever
When we get there
Take our shoes off
And dig our toes in the sand
Stay til sunset
And watch the tide roll out
Receding from the land
By the ocean
Is where i wanna be
When this all comes to an end
Crack a cold one
And watch tsunamis come
Surrounded by my friends
I can feel happy on beach days
There’s always something to get in the way of overthinking everything
Only have to worry about the riptide only have to worry ‘bout the undertow when you’re Going out swimming
When i can feel the sun on my skin when i can taste the salt on my tongue it feels like Nothing can go wrong
Tomorrow we go back to real life so just enjoy the beach tonight i’m glad y’all Came along

Solar Flares
04:48

I feel the weather change
Gets hotter every day
Feels like, sun’s fixin’ to kill us
Sunspots duplicate
Solar flares on their way
Some day, magnetic annihilation
Society cannot stay
Not with things going this way we’ll run to find somewhere to survive
Through rocks and ash
Houses fading at our backs
Onward to something new
The lights fade
And the grid fails
The phones are down
No water to be found
We’ll strike out on our own
Trying to find a new home
If there’s one to be found
Unknown homeward bound
But it’s a long way to go
It’s a long way to go
So close your eyes
And find a way back home
It’s a long way to go
Off to parts unknown
So close your eyes
And find your way back home

I feel heavier than i used to
Feels like gravity is getting stronger
Something’s pushing down on my shoulders trying to flatten me out, leave me on the ground
Dreamt of standing in line last night
Just queuing up in an unending line
Woke up feeling i’m still waiting
For what i don’t know, but the feeling grows
I feel heavier than i used to
Like my feet are stuck in the thickest mud trying to pull myself free from it
Starting to feel that’s a Sisyphean task
I’ve got to, i’ve gotta gotta get out

From the Van
04:18
|

I don’t think i hate this city the way that i used to spending too much time away anyway
But I miss my friends a lot
It’s a struggle just to keep in touch
Out on the road
From the van
I hope we can
I think I’m getting used to this
Keeping in touch with texts and pictures
When I’ve been gone for half a year
And you’re still here
Am I still here?
Am I still real?
I’ve been gone away so long
Sometimes it doesn’t feel like I have a home anymore just another place I’m stopping by
Just another place where I can say hi
To the people that I rarely see
The people I hope still know me
The people that I love
The people I’m always thinking of
As the highway slides by underneath
And the sky stretches out unendingly
And the mountains creep up slowly
And the fields just look so lonely
And I think
I can’t spend another hour in this car
I’ve no idea how we got this far
And all I wish all I want
Is to be on another planet with you

there’s a fog on the horizon
i can’t see but i feel it comin’ on
drops like a bomb
when i try to think now
it’s like there’s so many thoughts i can’t even pull one out
just one big cloud
another bad brain day
will i be okay?
trying not to dwell too much and just get along with the day
another bad brain day
i can’t seem to shake
the feeling it’ll always be this way i’ll never be okay
when i try to breathe now
it’s like my lungs are full of something i can’t get out
breath comes shallow
when i try to sleep now
i think of every stupid thing i’ve ever done or said
they fill my head
go to bed and start again tomorrow

Summer Rain
03:00

At the summer rain
A bench on a porch somewhere
In summer rain
The storm clouds roll in and bring
The summer rain
Soaked to the skin but i
Can’t complain
The water falls steadily
Like a westbound train
The calm it brings to my mind
I can’t explain
I fall to the ground and lay
In the summer rain
Let my body dissipate
In summer rain

Listen to the voices
Listen to the wind
The moon shines down through the trees at night didn’t even know
It was full
Listen to the cicadas
Listen to their wings
They shed their skins covering everything don’t know where trees end and they begin
Listen to the trees creak
As they settle down for bed
Their canopies swaying in the breeze
Sky fades to black from red
