Oh Teacher

Cycle

time with me

casey’s sleeping in the dirt 
mud is caked onto her skirt
but the sun is beating down
so she needs the cool soft ground
 casey runs around the yard
wishing that she could go far
split this town and catch a train
would we hear from her again

now she’s unlocked the back gate
finally she has escaped
while her parents are asleep
she hits the concrete with her feet
doesn’t know where she will go
and suddenly she misses home
stops when she reaches the tracks
breathes in deep and then turns back

casey knows that she’s still fast
but maybe not like summers past
runs from all that she’s been told
but does she know she’s getting old

casey’s yelling at the breeze
scared her when it hit the trees
she’s just just nervous from her dream
hears a knock then screams and screams

now she’s unlocked the back gate
one last time she has escaped
her parents follow down the street
begging casey come back please
doesn’t know where she will go
but she knows she can’t go home
over fences and through lawns
til her silhouette is gone

til her silhouette is gone
til her silhouette is gone
casey when will you come home
casey when will you come home

casey

girl it’s true
yeah i’m in love with you
please let me stay with you
we’ll do what lovers do
oh baby let me lay with you
girl how I ache for you
why do you play with me
I wander aimlessly 
oh baby I just want to die
when you look in my eyes
and then I start to cry
inside my head

let me lay with you

things could be different 
but theyre not
im a bug now stuck in amber

my life will be different
but it never was
i dont know what will happen
but it has already happened

just not to me
not yet
someone somewhere knows
not me

they couldve been different
but they never were
not for a bug now stuck in amber

they can see me from all sides
they can see me from all sides
up down left right top bottom front behind

just not yet
someone sees
someone unfettered by earthly chains
someone better than times restraint
someone with probably bigger brains
or a clam... or something in that vein

if one thing please dont forgive me
if one more please just forget about me
i think just one would be enough

if one thing please dont forgive me

bug in amber

hope this song helps you feel less alone through these strange times. we're all in this thing together, but ya know, separately. thanks everyone <3 stay safe!

Lyrics:
I'd be countin down the days if I knew where to count down from
My mind is spinnin out of control as I'm watching from 
the side lines
ooooh
such a strange way to be fending for our lives

Close my eyes and think of the times that I should've just come thru
I wanna huddle outside a dive in the soft glow of 
the moon
with you
knowin that the show ain't happenin soon

Feeling down, feeling helpless as the ICUs get slammed
What our leadership is thinkin I won't ever
understand
understand
while we wait for some resemblance to a plan

shut-in

alright jon on lead guitar

like the ending of a chapter
said she's moving to the south
you're not the one she's looking after
creeping out the corner of her mouth
it sips away
while you just stay in your ways
at the bottom of your cup
if its not pain
that keeps you sane through your days
its the one you're thinking of
now you're turning through your pages
and your stories changing up
between the lines and all the phrases
it just feels like giving up

like the ending of a chapter

no page like you
try to
write new
no days shine through
eyes too
sky blue

she was creeping through your garden
took the apple from your tree
then your faith for her had started
but you knew where it ought to be
like the ending of a chapter

no page like you
try to
write new
no days shine through
eyes too
sky blue

ending of a chapter

well about 22,000 firetrucks crash a year
on the way to the scene of the crime
so your cryin aint welcome here
your burning house will boil clouds above
theyll darken if you let it burn enough
and theyll give you rain

well if it was up to me
i wouldnt be in love with you
but ill wait for the fire
let the cycle just resume

you shouldnt have let me explain now
im cryin in vain but i know
its just that its something that happens
itll take a firetruck to put me out
you know better than to interrupt the game
if you give someone a voice
theyll just complain

if it was up to me
i wouldnt be in love with you
but ill wait for the fire
let the cycle just resume
its time to take my place
so ill just sit and watch it burn
and if you see tragedy
well you stay put and wait your turn

22 thousand firetrucks
