Dull clarity Dark bottom of the South Watch as they move away Passing through a red shift Maybe you shouldn’t go alone Staying alive is just an easy goal The unresolved finds its way into the front seat You are the positive side, you are the upswing
Brighter one-off times Man, you gotta know your tell Applauding as they move away Pushing through the late shift Praying for a change is such a lazy throw Moving your body is a lonely road
The uninformed finds their way up to the front line Searching for the ladder you took Pulled up behind you
I feel it settling for something well lit It’s battery it’s top heavy badness Sort of stumbling down a well worn path Tall vowels and water in the hour glass Looking back to where the others all go Is it bad luck to know what they don’t know It made me think that every gravely road Was someone waving bye to a loved one
Brighter one-off times Man you gotta know your tell Cracking as they mean to wave Pushing through the late shift Praying for a change is such a lazy throw Moving your body is a lonely road
The underdog finds its way under the park bench They are the heroes you find they are the action
Instead of focusing on something you’re not Take the bad thoughts, you park them and move along Instead of thinking you’ve forever been docked On the whole you are not just an only son Pack it up on someone’s company time Get it right, or get out, or get over it Or do you feel like something’s gonna collapse Was it always the privilege of being here
Normal a new routine Celebrate the painful Watch ’em as they move away Now you are the old shit Maybe they shouldn’t be alone Stay with the pack Stay with what they know
The dark one curls up with you He’s here to talk you through it Comforting now in the short term Nobody’s here for me Did all that was asked of me Now sundowning off to the distance Rich with ruins for no one A collection of typos and omens At best just a place where you’re kept
Dull clarity Dark bottom of the South Watch as they move away Passing through a red shift Maybe you shouldn’t drive alone Staying alive is such an easy goal The unresolved finds its way into the front seat You are the positive side, you are the upswing
