lyrics

conclusion

i went to sleep later than usual today
up all night boarding up my windows
and putting lip stick on my walls
the sun goes down like a depressed man drowning
in his bathtub
i’ve got the cello tied up to my bed with dirty socks
and i’m ready to fall asleep with my arms around it’s neck
i find comfort in music
but the drums won’t face my problems
so i broke my walkman on the pavement
and walked away like a man wearing jogging shoes and a peace sign button
there’s misplaced street signs
and that’s a metaphor
but i can’t find it
the directions are obsolete
and i’m a turned down stereo-type
that won’t stop at gas station for assistance
i’m a one man show that won’t give up the ball
but i can’t dribble
so i lose
traveling
without a carry-on
wondering my existence for a shelter
so it’s over
it’s done
complete
lock the sliding door and set the alarm
get undressed and turn off the television
the lamp goes out
and nobody tucks in my sheets
the radio plays softly like a piano with laryngitis
background noise for my upfront dreams of becoming a highway with punctuation
when i grow up
i’ve got my license to be human in my pocket
and i can’t wait to bump into the painter
whose been coloring everything in blue
the neighbor’s light just got turned off
and i see the world from a sound proof box
there’s no real conversation
just moving lips
and over exaggerated gestures
the wind bullies around the plants outside
and i hope i get at least an hour of sleep
