the smoother ride is worth the price
grass and dirt eat up the tires
for me it's a matter of function
nevermind the way it looks
I go by the books
beige and tan support the plan
rising high to please the eye
saving lots of money
stick the poor in boxes of gray
drive downtown without seeing land
it says to me the glory of man
my my my
we are the species
my my my
to rule the earth
far and wide
we're paving everything
pretty soon
we'll pave the stars
we can turn mars into a parking lot
cover the sun its way too hot

I Evolve

when the fires did surround me
you were by my side
with your holy water hands
and sparkling eyes
we are not a prize at all
we are just the end
I was on the porch and you were
hiding in the dark
with the floorboards creaking
and the house falling apart
I evolve tonight
when the iron city rusts
and crumbles in the sea
tiny dots and dying leaves
will hover over me
to the other shore and back
sure I've found the end
bitches on their broken chain
of rusty party lines
sew the halos on their heads
and riot in their minds
so count the bumps on your head
where the palms are read
I believe it when you say
there is no way

When the Morning Dies

i promise you my head's on straight
and looking forward
empires will fall in the sunken sky
so meet me in your room and keep a light on inside
I'm lost and gone in a dried up well
that looks up at a smile in the clouds
i climb the walls and comb the stars
and wish the dinosaurs would come crashing through my door
like fire and hate
all in sunday suits
one for me and one for you
i will count the days
wake me when the morning dies
the water falls into pots and pans
crooked on the wood paneled walls
our rest will come when the storm is done
but now the roof is leaking and the lights won't come on

More Than You Know

forget to write
and I will call you up at night
and let it ring
the morning sun
it never bothered anyone
but you might find
it wise to close the blinds
the more I sleep
the less I like to use my feet
they drag me down
so after lunch
why dont you come around and see
why I cant eat at all
why I cant even breathe
how many bridges
are we supposed to cross before
we meet the boss
the great escape
it always seems to want to wait
merry go round
round and round and round
tommorow the sorrow
will be forgotten although
I will remember how I
fell upon the floor

about
The debut album. When I wrote most of these songs, I was swimming in "Sgt. Pepper", "The Soft Bulletin", and anything by the Elephant 6 Collective. I wrote most of the album while I was still in college, and completed it over the months after I graduated. Purchase options include downloads in the format of your choice and CD.
