My ear is to the ground
But it’s in and out the other
I still carry it around
It’s one dream into another
Imaginary world
Everyone’s around but you’re still alone
I followed the footsteps
And they haven’t led me home
And I must have tried to rush it all
I didn’t mean to, I didn’t know
I knew a kid who kicked a carcass
And another a car battery
Talking to yourself in the darkness
Is perfectly sincere flattery
I knew a kid who was a dropout
A parable beyond repair
Always looking for a copout
Catastrophe’s awaiting everywhere

Ship in a Bottle

We had no idea where we were
Until we saw it from above
Until you’re stranded out at sea
You don’t know what you’re made of
Like a ship in a bottle
Like a boat in the ocean
We didn’t know how never-ending
Keep your eyes on the horizon
I could watch a thousand hours
The waves are mesmerizing

Hand Me Down

I left for the evening
Working an outta town job
Was driving through Wisconsin
Was working for the mob
When I left it was raining
It followed me the whole way there
I saw it on a billboard
Or was I staring into space?
Straight into outer space
Everyone’s always got somewhere else to be
Something else to do but you and me
We learned it from our parents we’ll last forever
It’s a hand me down
It’s a hand me down
The guy sitting next to me
Is probably writing songs too
I ate at some farm to table
The same place as last year alone at the bar
I’ve heard all his songs
My dad used to play them for me while we’d drive
The end is the best part
I’m coming home tomorrow
If I make it that far
If I make it that far

To Be Alive

Roads are meant to be traveled
Rules are made to be broken
Birds they know which way to fly
Look where others would pass by
Teach them to yearn for the open ocean
Do the greatest good for the greatest number
Find what you love and let it kill you
Onward through the rain the waves the thunder
I cannot see around the corner
I cannot predict the weather
I can only continue to push forward
I cannot live forever
Swallowing the sun in the west
Gives birth to the light in the east
To try to explain the beauty
Or come to terms with the beast
The imagination tries to understand
Exactly when the right time was
He who thinks he knows doesn’t
He who doesn’t think he knows, does

Clothesline A

I saw you at the crossroads, metal guitar and heart strings to barter
It was a flag of surrender I knew you drove a hard bargain now you’re driving it harder
You’re approaching the origin, out at the basin wringing out your cleaning
Whatever you’re chasing I thought I saw you’d mistaken your labor for your meaning
I only get more confused as the face gets nearer
I know it’s not a muse it’s only a mirror
I saw you in the city rumors were flying you had gone urban
That’s living by committee you got eighteen year women and eighteen year bourbon
And the 18 wheelers still truck to California the goods are undercover
I’ve consulted several dealers, they say you could use a hobby or you could use a lover
I heard she overdosed somewhere under a road sign
I know it’s not a ghost it’s only a clothesline

Sure She Needs You

For as long as I can remember I’ve been undercover
I wish I could tell you the things I’ve dreamed
Reinvent the world show you a side you’ve never seen
Are you sure, sure she needs you, are you sure
When it all comes down, we’re all addicted
The path away from one leads you to another
You kick it to the curb you feel too restricted
One day at a time I know I can recover

You’re up sometimes
You’re up sometimes you’re down
Up wth the sun
