Getting Old 01:55
The More You Hide, The More I’m Bound To Like You And The Less You Know, The More Yr Bound to Like Me Too We Can Go Around & Round And Over & Over But Can’t We Just Get On With It I think I’m Getting Old Well It Struck Me Inside, The First Time That We Met Again You Were So Surprised Cuz Yr Sister Said I Died So We Took A Bath, You Said You Never Did That Cuz You couldn’t Stand Being Nude In Front OF Any Man It Was Yr Husbands Fault, And The Others Just Filled Yr Wound With Salt Though Our Talks Are Still A Blur, I’m Sure We Had Them We’ve Had Many Since Then, But They’ve All Been So Much More Dramatic Cuz I Called You Drunk, And I Guess I Said Some Stuff I Don’t Remember Much, But I Know I Was Fucked Up Though Our Talks Are Still A Blur, I’m Sure We Had Them But Can’t We Just Get On With It I think I’m Getting Old

I Rode In Late On A Whim On The Chance You’d Be In Then It Folded Around And I Came Up From The Ground Since I Don’t Know Where To Start I’ll Just Jump Outta The Bush If It Weren’t For Making Art I’d Be Living In The Woods I’d Rather Lay In The Wind In The Middle Of The Trains Than Make A Mold Of Myself And Get Knocked Into The Rain Since I Don’t Know When To Stop I’ll Just Jump Outta The Bush If It Weren’t For Making Art I’d Be Living In The Woods You Know The Life Of An Exile Makin It Out Of The Trees Playing Liberty Solitaire Becoming One With Yr Home Since I Don’t Know When To Stop I’ll Just Jump Outta The Bush If It Weren’t For Making Art I’d Be Living In The Woods

Changing The World Every Day While Grinding Out A Minimum Wage How You Gonna Pick Up Yr Pace How You Gonna Pick Up Yr Face And Arms, To Work On This Sold Farm Most Of Us Don’t Get A Lifetime And Love Is Just Something To Keep In Mind It’s Hard Enough To Keep The Small Things Alive And Growing

Warm Wet Rag 02:32
I Was Poor White Trash But Mostly By Association I Don’t Feel So Bad When I See How Other People Are Acting But I Won’t Put You Down Or Drag Yr Name Around (But I’ll Want To sometimes) It Was A Big Red Flag When The First Responders showed Up Like A Warm Wet Rag On The Forehead Of The Whole World I Watched Them Make Their Push And The Whole Floor Shook But Yr Nowhere Then There Could Be A Bullet Hole In Yr Head Or Lightening Through Both OF Yr Hands For All The Good Any OF Yr Good Livin Did

Slouchin' 02:51
At Some Point Here, I’m Gonna Stop Slouchin Makin Excuses For What I Don’t Do and One Day Pretty Soon I’ll Be Done Smoking Cigarettes And I’ll Live In A Different Neighborhood Solo I’ll Have A Yard Layin Down By The Fire With A Dog Do I Chase More Money, Or Do What I Love How Many Years Do I Even Have Left Still I wouldn’t Mind A Co-Pilot, I’ve Just Become Independent As Fuck We Can Hang Around And Ride Bikes All Day And Have A Picnic If You Want Cuz It’s Old And I’m Bored And I forgot How To Kiss And That’s Wrong Cuz It Gets Old And I’m Bored

Not a cat in a tree, at least not the only one For the longest time I tried to reach what i couldn'e see Made A mountain Out of a molehill It's not a movie, there just so happens to be a film on the screen Turn the light on next to the bed Before my eyes adjusted, my arms were full of memories How do you rule The Invisible realm How do you rule The Invisible realm How do you ruin being good to yourself How do you rue what could never have been helped Realized something was wrong, but it took too long And all the life I'd missed took a dip and turned into a fist How do you rule The Invisible realm How do you rule The Invisible realm How do you ruin being good to yourself How do you rue what could never have been helped
