Heads Up Big Guy

Don’t want to hear it, just what you did
When all your words proved to be useless
Is it bad luck or is it you?
When it’s so hard to face the truth
Every step is breaking you
It’s not that hard, it’s nothing new
Feeling borrowed, broken, blue
But I won’t save you from you
You hang your head and make your excuse
I’m not that far off from you
We can so we will
We only shoot to kill
And I’m sick of the way you only fake it
We can so we will
We only shoot to kill
Just know you don’t
We see right through you
A minute left to place your bets
Another night full of regrets
I don’t care for excuses
You know just what you did
Just when you thought you got away
Now you’re lying through your teeth
I can see it on your face
Ran away and played it safe
You hang your head and make your excuse
I’m not that far off from you
Don’t tell me it’s bad luck or the choices you made
When everyone’s left you, it’s time to face today
It’s yours to blame away
We can so we will
We only shoot to kill
And I’m sick of the way you only fake it
We can so we will
We only shoot to kill
Just know you don’t
We see right through you

Draw a picture to remember
Who you were the night before
It changes with each passing hour
Stumbling through your bedroom door
Do you recall the things you said?
You find yourself dressed in your Sunday’s best and all alone again
Just like the way it’s always been
Against the world because no gets me like you do (you know you do)
Can we make it through the night?
Pick it up just one more time
I don’t know anymore
When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor
Enough’s just never enough
These calls you won’t pick up
I don’t know anymore
When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor
Sometimes I wish I could go back to when I was sixteen
Just me and my burnt CD of Siamese Dream
Against the world because no one gets me like you do (you swear you always knew I’d let me down)
Can we make it through the night?
Pick it up just one more time
I don’t know anymore
When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor
Enough’s just never enough
These calls you won’t pick up
I don’t know anymore
When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor
Finding yourself dressed again
All alone in your Sunday’s best
With a pain in your head that reminds you of regrets

I lost track of all your days
Been so long now you’ve been away
Every season came and went
You fade into backgrounds once again
Still so far so good
And I wish you knew I would take it all back if I could
And I wish I could explain all this back then
Where have you been?
Now the time has gone and passed
Eighteen years just gone too fast
And like the time you spend at home, it just won’t last
Where have you been?
Fading from family portraits
Memories I’d love to forget
So take all that you need just don’t take it from me
Rehearsed apologies
Spill your lies through smiling teeth
You’re pulling at the strings
No longer bound to me
Still so far so good
And I wish you knew I would take it all back if I could
And I wish I could explain all this back then
Where have you been?
Now the time has gone and passed
Eighteen years just gone too fast
And like the time you spend at home, it just won’t last
Where have you been?
And now my days drag on
Another summer’s come and gone again
I’m wondering, where have you been?
I watched the seasons come and go and still you haunt me like a ghost
Again I’m wondering, where have you been?

It’s not what I want but I’ll do it to please
Promises I said
They’ve been swimming in my head
Don’t know what you need from me, but let it go
Spend all my time chasing ghosts or so I’m told
I’m just not quite ready to sit aside this time
But I keep losing who I am between the lines
If it all falls apart
Turn and see what you needed from the start
I’ll tread lightly if you stay
I’m not ready for a bend and a break
I’m not ready, I’m not
I’m giving in, I’m giving up
It’s in my head, it’s not enough
I’ll push it down and bite my tongue
So unsure it’s what I’m dreaming of
I’m not ready, I’m not

Like A Rosary
04:46

I watched you go through terminals
I’d try my best if you chose not to go
And still you’ll say everyday it’s the same
You wear me now just like a rosary
If we could make a clean break
Come back with a clean slate
Just tell me what comes next: an apology
Fingerprints still slipping disclose where you’ve been
Won’t matter, you’re just a memory
And still you pull me in
And I’ll be here losing sleep
And I’ll be here where you won’t see
All of the things I never got to say
All my promises fall away in vain
If we could make a clean break
Come back with a clean slate
Just tell me what comes next: an apology
Fingertips still slipping so close to where you’ve been
Won’t matter, you’re only an effigy
And still you pull me in
And I’ll be here losing sleep
And I’ll be here where you won’t see
I lost myself to you again
The crown you wear, it draws me in
Just rest and hang your head and keep me in between
You wear me like a rosary
So close your fingers over me
Just rest and hang your head and say just what you mean
You wear me like a rosary
So close your fingers over me
And I’ll be here losing sleep
And I’ll be here where you won’t see
I lost myself to you again
The crown you wear, it draws me in

So just know I take your picture where I go
And every night you call my phone when you’re feeling so alone
And you wonder where it went
All the words that I had said, and were they ever meant?
And it just ain’t working when it’s so uncertain
I always walk the edge but always come back home
Promised I’d call (but I always come back home again)
Leave me where you found me
I’m always missing something
You know it’s catching up
You know it’s not enough, and every time I come back home again
Someone’s always asking “where you been?”
So just know I don’t want to stay
I just want to go
This is all the time for me
So just know I don’t want to please
I just want to leave
It’s the air I breathe ‘til it kills me
And it’s reoccurring
And it leaves you hurting
And it just ain’t working when it’s so uncertain
I promised I’d call (but I always come back home again)
Leave me where you found me
I’m always missing something
You know it’s catching up
You know it’s not enough, and every time I come back home again
Someone’s always asking “where you been?”
Counting states like counting stars
Chances for memories pass us like cars (we both know how this ends)
Counting states like counting stars
So close, yet so far (it’s always catching up)
It’s always catching up
Counting states like counting stars
Chances for memories pass us like cars
So close, yet so far
So close, so close
And every time I come back home again someone’s always asking “where you been?”

My engine stalls I’m on the highway
I guess there’s no use in trying to get away
I saw forever on a clear day, and when you’re losing sleep
I hope it’s because of me
Do you still laugh the way you used to, and are you still afraid of the truth?
Been stuck too long down here with you
Do you remember all we’ve been through?
Summer heat’s erased every word
I swore I’d saved what I feel and just can’t face what it means to me
Used to know when spring would bloom but I swore I forgot all about you
How you used to sing and just what kept you awake
Because you went away, the headaches never did

Bitter Spring
02:52

Spring’s approaching the times we met
When all I felt was bliss
But this room’s felt empty since you left and these walls are caving in
This bitter spring that’s coming soon
These times I just won’t forget you
They say that one door opens as another one is shut
I’m still just right here choking
Don’t know why but yet I’m stuck
Sitting in my room
Spiraling thoughts of you
This bitter spring that’s coming soon
These times I just won’t forget you
These flowers bloom
It won’t be the same without you
Without you
This bitter spring where I still hold you close, and on these words I still choke
Sitting in my room, spiraling thoughts of you
And as these flowers bloom, so do you (this room’s felt empty since you left, I can’t help these walls are caving in)

I’m up all night, it’s all worth it
Do you remember driving down the 5 to no end?
And Norwalk square means I’m almost home
It’s all I’ve known but California calls me home
As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close
I’ll keep you in my mind to distract me from the cold
As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close
I’ll keep you on my mind
I’m drifting in and out again from where I am and where you’ve been
Do you know where Steven went?
Just meet me at the Hawk
Rose Park’s underneath my feet
Yo Duby I’m in Long Beach
I don’t care how, just get me home
As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close
I’ll keep you in my mind to distract me from the cold
As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close
I’ll keep you on my mind
As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close
I’ll keep you on my mind to distract from the cold
As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close
The winter keeps you low but it’s summer on the coast
As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close
The winter keeps you low
California calls you

Mile Marker
03:36

I woke up in a rut today
On hardwood floors that know my name better than my own place and bed
I think I’m over it
I’m feeling fine
When mile markers hurt my eyes
And I’m so behind
So let’s talk about anything else on your mind
No I don’t want to talk today
Twenty eight and not a dollar saved
I found my bend in the break
Over the act of saving face
I change my gaze from the floor to the ceiling
I’m overwhelmed and I’m bored of the feeling
It’s defeating and it’s leading to…
I’m feeling fine
When mile markers hurt my eyes
And I’m so behind
So let’s talk about anything else on your mind
How ungrateful it must seem to you
It’s everything I wanted, too
There’s nowhere to go but through
How ungrateful it must seem to you
It’s everything I wanted, too
There’s nowhere to go but through
But sometimes I can’t remember if that was true
I’m feeling fine
When mile markers hurt my eyes
And I’m so behind
So let’s talk about anything else on your mind
I’m feeling fine
When mile markers hurt my eyes
And I’m so behind
So let’s talk about what’s on your mind
