A New Thing

You got a new thing that don't concern me
I am consumed with how I don't get burned here
It's true I will not ask you to stay
We both agree I should not be acting this way
At my age
Just one more example of my many failings now
Lulled in to contentment ambitions left trailing behind
It's true I will not ask you to stay
We both agree I should not be acting this way
At my age
You've got a new thing

You Fucked Yourself
03:44

You're mad at God for not existing
and you fucked yourself by not insisting
On a little bit more to go on in his stead
something to quell the voice in your head
Someone to keep you from ending up dead
Well you did your time in school as you were told
but those venerable halls got very old
Not one single soul on whom you could depend
that's not what one expects of their friends
Aw but no one expects to come to these ends
You've got to take every insult as an opportunity
To show your innate ability to turn the other cheek
You're seeing shadows for ghosts on the wall of your cave
coming off like a child who don't know how to behave
There's no one after you in particular man
We conjure these things when we don't understand
We pawn off the blame on the unseen hand
When you give into your fear you've met their demands
There's some clarity to had in just refusing the dance
And if they still string you up with the rest of the damned
There's some peace to be had in knowing you didn't waste the time you had reacting instead of just taking a stand
You running is part of their plan
You've got to take every insult as an opportunity
To show your innate ability to turn the other cheek
Every slight as just a sign from another soul in need

Living's Not Dying

She bought a resurrection for her head
a special truth for the void where nothing was left
To fuel the fire of her heart's desire for true love
and a hope that she could be right and whole
You gotta get it somewhere sometimes you gotta take what's there
I wouldn't fault one for trying to prove that living's not dying
You may not care for the crowd she's in with
they're working from an old text and they're all hung up on sin
They're not so all forgiving as their book would have them be
but they've got answers to questions she never knew she had
You gotta get it somewhere sometimes to gotta take what's there
I wouldn't fault one for trying to prove that living's not dying
All of my restless nights all of my anxious days
I wouldn't trade for having been told
There are some things that I just need to be right by me
It's not a question of if I can be sold
I'm open to any reasonable road
But you keep your soul for your own
There is no waiting to be done the time is the present
And you are the only one who matters
You don't need to give up one damned thing
To open your heart to love
Open your heart to love

Don't tell me it's complicated if you just mean that I'm an asshole
Don't tell me you'll be there if you're inclined to bail
I can relate to whatever way that you choose to be
All I need to know is how that is
How that is
I would never presume to tell you how it's gonna be
We all know you're a big kid now
I'd appreciate the same same consideration extended to me
If you've forgotten I can show you how
Don't tell me we're not worth saving just for not saying the right words
My love won't depend on a code to pass or fail
But I can relate to whatever way that you choose to be
All I need to know is how that is
How that is
Seems to me you only see what you wanna see
You take no stock in freewill
I pay no heed to infractions others may perceive
To each his own you say but still
Don't tell me it's complicated if you just mean that I'm an asshole
Don't tell me you'll be there if you intend to bail
I can relate to whatever way that you choose to be
All I need to know is how that is
How that is

All Is Said & Done

Even though everyone is busy all the time
there are none of them as busy as you are
Up before the sun rise and shine
burning while they're sleeping with their minds open
Their minds open their minds open behind closed eyes
Ah
You worry that you'll rate but you're the girl who never hesitates
To tame whatever tiger makes you prey
I'm David with his stone not the one at Houston's Alamo
They'll never take us down that way
Down that way down that way with you on board
And if you should find
You've come undone
From time to time
I don't think it'll matter much
When all is said and done
I rue the day Kurd killed my Rock 'n Roll
We trust he found some comfort for that tortured soul
I thank my lucky stars I found you there
Never would have guessed it but a trusted friend
A trusted friend a trusted friend to you I am
And if you should find
You've come undone
From time to time
I don't think it'll matter much
When all is said and done
