Any time now
I've gotta get away from here. 
Before we start 
To end without a way out. 
October comes
A little soon for my design.
Lie on the floor
To feel a little ground-ed inside. 

How many tears
Till we fall to the undertow?
One stolen glance
Becomes a broken smile.
Out from within 
No matter what the present holds,
Tear up your life
Until you find yourself inside. 

We only hide—we only hide in a lover
We lose sight—we lose sight of our own endeavors...
Hey hey, the spark is dying...
I may be gone by morning light...

Chorus
And now you're never gonna live
Until you follow your soul cry...
Follow all that you know inside—
Let it usher you higher
And just how high can you go?

As you follow your soul cry
Follow all that you know inside—
Let it usher you higher
Before somebody locks you low...

We're so tired of blather... 
(and everything that we are)
We're so sick of tired...
(rather be eating piece of pie)
We're too tired to bother
(chasing down what they say we are)
So just let us fly.
(we can fly high.)

Every time we lose our minds
We find ourselves resigned to build a shroud of lies
Solicitude defined
As simply part of life
Renders us all but blind

We're so tired of blather... 
(and everything that we are)
We're so sick of tired...
(rather be eating all the pie)
We're too tired to bother
(chasing down what they say they are)
So just let us fly.
(we fly high.)

[not solidified:]
Time to say goodbye
To the perpetuated hollow
Shut yourself inside
This tiny pixel stuck in time
—to close your eyes
On everything you followed blindly, 
Why try to survive
If you're never going to live

Chorus
Until you follow your soul cry...
Follow all that you know inside—
Let it usher you higher
And just how high can you...go?

(As) you follow your soul cry
Follow all that you know inside—
Let it usher you higher
Before somebody locks you low...

Losing Touch (Draft: Unproduced/Unmastered)

Well it's happening again
All flashing before my eyes
Revealed too many cards
before i even thought to think
But now who could really blame me
for knowing how i feel
When you clearly see an answer
before the question can appear

Sparks would light the fire when we were young
and now we're quick to lean on gasoline
As fools, we'd rush right in and we'd get burned
But foolish as we were, I've never known more fun than when we jumped the gun

Now I do get what you mean
You want it to be just right
But right or wrong you know
that it’ll all turn out alright alright alright
 
And meanwhile other fish wait
to eat you straight alive
But if the other shoe is ever gonna drop,
It won’t matter if it’s tied

Sparks would light the fire when we were young
and now we're quick to lean on gasoline
As fools, we'd rush right in and we'd get burned 
But foolish as we were, i've never known more fun than when we jumped the gun

Now I won't tell you how to live,
You've come this far alone, 
But gettin' hitched and settling
Don’t seem your way to go,
So try your hand at holding on
To someone else’s hand
‘Cause we don’t value anything
That we don’t understand

Goat Love (demo)

Jumping Guns (Draft: Unproduced/Unmastered)

Oh well, here we go.    
I've pored myself too deep to know, 
How to stumble my way back up  
Feel no wrong
Right or wrong
Move along 
To back when
It was nicer when we were nicer. 
Back before that shit in LA 
Now it's all about you and yourself, 
And the last of all my codeine

This is how we [this is how we]
Fall so hard it's like the Rocky Mountains toppling
This is how we [this is how we]
Fall so deep we're losing air—can't keep from drowning 

Oh hell, here we go. 
Another trip down memory road
Wish I could say it's been too long
Feel no wrong
Right or wrong
Say so long
Can we go
Back before you ever smiled, 'hello',
When I mistook you for human,
Now it's all about the cats you stole
And your Betty White delusions

Chorus
This is how we [this is how we]
Fall so hard it's like the Rocky Mountains toppling
This is how we [this is how we]
Fall so deep we're losing air—can't keep from drowning 
This is how we [this is how we]
Fall so hard it's like—it's like a cartoon anvil dropping
This is how we [this is how we]
Fall so deep the sharks take hold and teeth keep sinking

On your own little isle
You go guile to smile
Don't you know the crazier they are
The harder that we fall? 
In your own little aisle
You go inch to mile
Don't you know we only love them when they're...

(Chorus)

Jumping Guns (Draft)

Well it's not enough to say, 
That I could never sing enough high praise—about you always, 
But that could never be enough—Why
Couldn't you be enough
In all ways
I lack to this day...

It's not the first time I find
I'm caught up in my own mind
With you
Standing here—you stand by my side,
Until I leave all my love behind

Oh now I've been looking all my life for you, 
Needed someone in my life, 
Then I found you, and I hurt you. 
You were everything that I could ask for
But always needed more
So I passed you—yea I threw you away. 

(Well/Yea) There’s nothing I could pay,
That feels like it would be too much for this pain—to take it away,
No I would give anything up—To
Not have just given up in
All the ways
I regret every day...

It's not the first time I find
I'm caught up in my own mind
With you
Standing here—you stand by my side,
Until I leave all my love behind

Oh now I've been looking all my life for you, 
Needed someone in my life, 
Then I found you, and I hurt you. 
You were everything that I could ask for
But always needed more
So I passed you—yea I threw you...

Oh will there ever be one
Another I would call the one
How long before I'm done
Tearing myself apart...
At the gun...

...I've been looking all my life for you, 
Needed someone in my life, 
Then I found you, and I hurt you. 
You were everything that I could ask for
But always needed more
So I passed you—yea I threw you away.
