Reading Between Lines That Have Never Been Written

I'm reading between lines that have never been written
I'm reading between lines that have never been written

Always reading between the lines
blind to the cadence you're using
seeing all the words just fine
but deaf to the images you're choosing

I'm reading between lines that have never been written
I'm reading between lines that have never been written

always asking obvious questions
I'm looking like an illiterate fool
I was reading the book upsidedown
now I'll never be seen as cool

I'm reading between lines that have never been written
I'm reading between lines that have never been written

always saying I feel fine but I don't
I think you know what I'm saying
but again I've had too much to smoke
and my head starts to swaying

I'm reading between lines that have never been written
I'm reading between lines that have never been written
I'm reading between lines that have never been written
I'm reading between lines that have never been written

Reading Between Lines That Have Never Been Written

It's Going to Change

don't I look lost again
don't I feel confused again
don't I sound distracted
not a big surprise

don't I seem stoned again
don't I feel confused again
don't I sound lost
not a big surprise 

but it's going to change

It's Going to Change

"to feel better"

lying thru my teeth
when  I tell you I'm feeling fine
I think you know what I'm saying
that I feel like hell all the time

I just want to feel 
I just want to feel better
I just want to feel better
I just want to feel 

lying thru your teeth
when you tell me you're feeling good
I think I know what you're saying
and if I could help you you know I would

I just want you to feel better
I just want you to feel 
I just want you to feel 
I just want you to feel better

lying thru my teeth
when I tell you I'm feeling fine
you think I know what you're saying
if I could help you you know I would

I just want to feel
I just want to feel better
I just want you to feel better
I just want you to feel

To Feel Better

"I Can't Believe Anything I Tell Myself"

I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself

I don't know why I lie to myself but I do
I lie to myself about you
I can't stand to tell myself the truth
so every night I fall for the ruse 

I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself

I lie to myself every night
I'm believing things that just can't be right
I can't stand to tell myself the truth
so every night I fall for the ruse

I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself

I don't know why I think you're thinking of me
it's like reading words no one else can see
I can't stand to tell myself the trust
so every night I fall for the ruse

I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself
I can't believe anything I tell myself

I Can't Believe Anything I Tell Myself

"The Muffled Twenties"

I never thought the roaring twenties
would take place behind a mask;
signs say no dimes or pennies, 
buying beer is a dangerous task.

I never thought the decade
would suck so much;
even in a lockdown downgrade
sanitize everything you touch

we're living in the muffled twenties
we're living in the muffled twenties
we're living in the muffled twenties

I called your name
from behind my mask
but you didn't hear me
I called your name
from behind my mask
but you didn't hear me

I never thought the week 
would start so bad;
pull my mask over my eyes
so you can't see I'm crying, sad

I never thought a month
would have such a bitter taste;
I want a refund
this one has been a waste

we're living in the muffled twenties
we're living in the muffled twenties

I called your name
from behind my mask
but you didn't hear me

we're living in the muffled twenties
we're living in the muffled twenties

the Muffled Twenties
