Working a greedy man's hours
For a modest man's wage
That's the blues
Buy an ice cream for your lady
Turn around, she found a new baby
That's the blues
You're born to die
And you live to lose
Sometimes the blues are bad
Sometimes the blues are all you have
Sometimes you get the blues
Sometimes the blues get you
Landlord knocking on my door
Said I had til the 5th
And it’s only the 4th
What a ruse
That’s the blues

Afterthought

I think about death
I think about death and I smile
a cold heart keeps me warm inside
warm inside
insulated and dry
I wanna be harder and softer at the same time
it’s just one of those passing thoughts that comes unexplained
and before you know it goes away
I wanna be right even when I’m not
the long run is only ever an afterthought
the laughter stops
here come the wellness cops
I wanna feel better but I wanna feel worse even more
it’s just a passing thought that comes unexplained
and before you know it goes away

t’s so hard to be alive right now
I wanna die
I wanna die
It’s so hard to be alive right now
People wanna be right so bad
Kinda funny but also sad
I wanna laugh and cry at the same time
I wanna run away and hide
Because you’re making it hard
When it’s already hard
Why am I standing in the corner?
(Biting on your tongue while it’s tied up)
Why am I looking on?
(Staring at the walls or whatever)
What’s bugging my buzzard brain?
Things never change until it’s too late
(Nothing ever changes til it’s too late)
Nothing changes until it’s too late

No Rain Coming

The sky is lighting up but there’s no rain coming
No rain the next couple weeks
The clouds all cover but there’s no rain coming
Dark but dry
Just passing by
Listening just to pass the time
But there’s no rain coming
I miss the kiss of winter on my toes and fingers
Better start crying cuz there’s no rain coming
Minutes go by
Hours they fly
The radio plays
And the animals howl
Ya Flipped off the wind and shouted “even you're against me!”
Everybody's got rocks in their heads
One better than shit for brains I guess
With their blissful fingers in their ignorant ears
Oh what do I care
I’m smoking a cig and I’m drinking a beer

Trouble comes lookin for ya in strange ways in this town
Ghoulish types appear out of nowhere it seems
Ya try so hard to ignore them, these creeps
And wish they’d burn to ash and blow away
I think the darkness lies to us sometimes
It's so still and quiet like it's got something to hide
Keep the lights on and a candle to burn
Cuz you can't always take what the night can endure

“Hey how’s your day?”
Cold as yesterday
It’s always the same
Everything’s fine
Always ok
Small amounts of rain
Interstate sports rivalries
Microscopic sentences
Talk so cheap it’s free
Set to dispense
20 bucks cash back and Marlbro reds
Shorts not hundreds
“Good and you?”
Repeat til you’re dead
Keep on your hands and knees
Cuz crawling’s free, baby
Small amounts of rain
Interstate sports rivalries
Getting tired just thinking about
All this extra meat I’ll be carrying around
Winter weight

Studio apartment
Paleo diet
Bubble water shining off the granite countertop
I make out the distorted reality of your face
Balcony windows are a perfect place
For a night cap before you wake up with a headache
Two Exedrin migraine relief tabs’ll do for the day
If the walls were leather I’d stick
What’s in your trash can?
Avocado skins and quinoa blends
Lifestyle shakes and Irish reds
Beauty transcends the mundane
Standing with your kind of’s and sort of’s in the pouring rain
Don’t ya hate to see it?
Can’t stop what you can’t defeat
Idiot wind’s a-blow in’
Sounds like your mama call in’
What’s in your pad, man?
How-to books and Juxtapose mags
I look away to pretend you’re not there
But I always catch your velvet stare
I could just not care and it’d be all the same
Take my own kind of’s and sort of’s
And call it a day
