Loversleep

Jayden Taylor Skylark

You’re young, so young
and you want to belong
but you have a lot to learn
beautiful things never last long

You’re waiting forever
You’re waiting at the edge of your seat
but nothing’s ever coming
that’s the tentative guarantee

and I’m not you and I know you want to
be someone else when you’re throwing horseshoes
and drinking beer with your older brother
who raised you more than your absent mother

You live, alone
(in) one of those beat-up old Chevy’s
Now time slips by
You haven’t slept since the seventies

and I’m not you but I know you’re watching
when your true love springs for a coffin
and though you wish you could take it back some
the second law is the greatest maxim

How to Die in '74

should they plant a flag to make you happy, to make you stronger?
but you don’t believe in those fairy tales any longer
you joined the service, but you deserted, you found it boring
you burned a forest, they couldn't ignore it, the fires roaring

It’s not like it can change
Behind the world stage
There's nothing left to fix
We’re just trapped in the thick of it

when all the lights die, you see the night sky, feel the zeitgeist
warring sticks and stones and broken bones and there’s no more
it’s hardly easy to say you’re leaving when you get stuck here
a two-star general, embalmed in rhinestones, another time-zone

It’s not like it can change
Behind the world stage
There's nothing left to fix
We’re just trapped in the thick of it

It’s not like it can change
Behind the world stage
There's nothing left to fix
We’re just trapped in the thick of it

Diamondback

How do you keep up with every aspiration
How do you fight off those ugly inclinations
What’s the plan to get self-actualization
Should I wing it and we sing it and I’ll do it again for the evening crowd
That’s right:

I’m not afraid, I’ll do anything once 
God would agree, but he’s been gone for months
Lord knows I’m flawed, hell, if you only knew
keep up this way, I’ll be pushin’ those daisies too

Those Daffodils

from Awesomethon

Those were the good old days…
Those were the good old days...
When a man could swim and a man could swing
And a man could love and be free to bring
A little smile
To the world…
Those were the good old days…
Those were the good old days…
When the chaos waned
And the rain clouds rained
And the sun was just a friendly face above…
For us to love…
Those were the good old days…
Those were the good old days…
When a man could lose
And turn and choose
To rule the human race without a heart
Oh, how’d it start?
That money mattered most
And laws became our God?

And we would drift from coast to coast
At the tip of cattle prods
And love was lost?
And love was lost?
But I dream of more…
I dream of worlds poor
And worlds rich uniting
Without a hitch
To come together
And love to love…
Those were the good old days…
Those were the good old days…
Those… were the good… old… daaaaaaays…

The Good Old Days

I only come to Kirbyville
when I take my sleeping pill
it’s just a town for starting out
an hour off the highway route
now that the people went away
there’s no one to open the shops today

look around and write it down and say there’s nothing here
when you kick it, kick it to Kirbyville
nothing to fulfill anymore
fill me up with information, then you bleed me dry
when you kick it, kick it to Kirbyville
move in for the kill

and I wanted to escape
while the dark was taking shape
‘cause I saw it’s getting late
and there’s still the interstate
but when I tried to run away
that’s when I woke up today

kick me out and I’ll look down and I’ll know what to do
I’ll just kick it, kick it to Kirbyville
nothing to fulfill anymore
fills me up with information, then she bleeds me dry
when I kick it, kick it to Kirbyville
move in for the kill
