Daylight in the east over Thunder Bay. You laugh like you're crazy. Wading through a drowsy communique as I blow smoke off the second floor. Scribble what you do, erasing what you'll quit. Since you don't leave the house, I'm it. You're a jigsaw puzzle bu...

What's wrong? What's right? Who cares? Not when you're living in strange nights and sleeping through strange days. Plot lines and motives twist up; it's hard to navigate streets when signs are pointing in new ways. Odds are rough, but still you pick your do...

Lean my forehead against the window glass, it bends the lights that drip. Inside, spent days roaming room to room with instincts un-applied. September's here and we ain't been ourselves lately. The old me liked the old you. I'd know from around the corner...

those were the days ask the dust on the road ask the cobwebs in my room in east st. paul two thousand miles seems a long way to go to find out that i can't make it alone I know I'm fucked this heart's so heavy, ambition broken up it's been good, it's close ye...

You had enough so you moved out to find what the world's about. Then you hit 21 years old. Something snapped, and now all of your stories don't make much sense. Losing touch, with your job, your school, parents, where are your friends? Static grew and som...

Seventh street, two o' clock. Drink until I can't walk. With new scars see stars fall broken. Bottle up and abuse, keeping safe from the news. You can't swallow if you're choking. You hold your dreams like they were super glue. Sick with columbia lows....

Today you looked alright, but forcing smiles has to be painful. what's the point in speeding to red lights? We both know this ain't what you were made for. It's not your home; it's a road at West End. All of the places that you've ever been to keep on str...

So where did August go? The leaves are shriveled up and dead. What started yellow has turned to grey. I turned you red. I was suffocating so I took a breath and let you go. You left me leaning and I spent the evening pounding sand with pounding head. I wok...

Counting lines that cross my face and moving objects into place. I'll never make it through so I'll make a deal with you - let me drink you wine and waste your time and whatever I've got I'll give to you. We've just got to wait 'til Spring and see what all i...

Let's get reborn tonight like a phoenix in bar lights. Burn up, plans don't seem so crazy. They all look clear through the cloudy beer. We can rise up and leave this urban ashtray. Blaze away, and set some fires on Lyndale. Losing days, if we stay this n...

you spurn my natural emotions you make me feel like dirt - and that hurts and if i start a commotion i run the risk of losing you - and that's worse ever fallen in love with someone ever fallen in love with someone ever fallen in love with someone you...

Settle in 'cause the road going West go drowned. A river's running though this town. It picks me up that for a few more days you'll stick around 'cause alone I'm sick, get sad quick, hate no sound. We're inside while their cars are stalling. Drying out with t...

The boards, they bounce up and down in an abandoned house. Amps exploding, and our ears bleed red - but we yell out every note. In the kitchen you tell me ‘bout the evils of the world. Swallow hard on every truth that’s been fermenting in your throat. K...

A look at your it hurts, I can't deny that. It makes all the blood and bones melt right out of my knees when you speak. A picture so perfect - it's framed with the moon, your face and eucalyptus trees. All of the streetlights are broken tonight. I'm broken dow...

Another day, it's poetry. Write it, spill my heart out to her - but I'm no writer. Just bad rhymes and some confused sentiment. It was love, she's done with me. I'm no good here in this world to no one, I watch the window. Count cars, not a new thought in my...

I've chased this blue moon down all night, have I been gaining any ground? Your picture's stapled to my dash. I'm done killing time in gray ghost towns. I'm heading south in search of life; the blinding turns, the twisting knives, now I'm just driving str...

"If I could hit rewind," Jackie said, "I'd like to see what it'd be like to take a different road that didn't wind up in a dull suburban life. 'Cause we've got so much, still know I'm losing; it always hits me hardest when traffic's not moving." Sink hol...

Scraping skies with shirts and ties and I can feel you waste away. The bets are long, I wanna get it wrong with you. It's such a goddamn beautiful day. To hell with red lights, driving on. An open cage, this bird is gone. But I can't leave this town if you're...

You're gonna have to wait until spring Amanda. 'cause the weight of winter's dragging us down. I drove away, let you surrender to sheets of ice and dented fenders. Took fifty aspirin, made you drift right off to sleep. You were lost for month's, I found y...

Keep holding the days that time's stolen with you. The funny, sad dumb things that you'd do, mistakes and bad tattoos. And we'd burn ablaze through the streets of this maze getting lost. You'd make me laugh 'til dawn broke, I got the not that you wrote. A sh...

yeah people stop and stare through stale smoke air the fireworks blare she asks me so then i came clean and killed the dream finale seen so quickly the fake smiles made it seem sadder perceptions all torn and tattered and now find myself walking b...

Vacant nights, synthetic lights. Back where it started no place left to go this time. The discount wine has clouded my mind, so I'll just have one more drink - and spill more ink. Lets raise a glass to burning bridges. Set's the same, the players change....

Man I wonder - you spent the summer south riding bikes instead of punching time clocks. If voices said go to Colorado - it's such a scenic place to end a story. You'd been waking up to shit; stood in the background watching. Couldn't tell what was in your...

Stumbled up the alley over tins and wires and broken boxes left for us to trip across. Another bunch of rotten bad luck; you can't win man, what'd I tell you? Mucking hands can have a cost. First soaring then collision; like my television, stories all end...

Half asleep with the sun coming up out east. We’re driving down Garfield Ave when you said a strange and significant thing: I can remember the words “this was, a beautiful night, it won’t ever happen this way again.” No my dear, nothing much grows around...

I show up, but it's only part-time. Still just a dirty animal like back when we didn't need no paychecks and life wasn't so complex. I showed you what it meant to get drunk; tried not to wake your parents up. And we said white collars won't be our bag b...

Cracked paint, faded signs, she said "I'm done I feel a lot like this town I'm so rundown Did the job but it up and died I've got to find something new that I can be now So what defines me Are all my best days and years behind me? Far from the places we used t...

Counting down the days 'til I'm with you. I cringe at words I say, I'm swimming with the sharks the work week through, so I'm drowning come Friday. Reaching front door, turning on the radio, walking to the liquor store. You're what I came here for, you're w...

if you can walk or crawl then lets leave this hospital and take this car far as it goes lost and kicked about sun belt scars remove all doubt but cover up this chapters closed no, this world ain't all snow so rip the ivs that grow from your heartbreak...

pressed my nose through her straight black hair please stay with me taking in the details of the door so what is it that you're crying for louder than bombs on the stereo you don't have to go i've seen people freezing up tonight and hope slips if you ca...

I'm wide awake on lake street, me and my bedsheets. Can't sleep cause I'm thinking about you. I picked the wrong race, so laugh in my face and tell me that you've never fucked up too. We bend then break from misuse. First find and then lose. Thrown agai...

From hazy days to something real; too far in to walk away, though I think I know the deal. I watched her face turn white to red, and then it hit me. She said "I've seen enough, I know you're a dying breed." Go to meet Samantha, picture what I've missed th...

The ragged clothes you wore made you look like a hobo. Ten to four, the neighbours pound the floor. We're cracking up 'til I couldn't take no more from you. The wine, the heater glow. Warming up under icy Midwest skies. I would have left here long ago, but k...
