E D
When I was a little pipsqueak B A I thought all I did was damn neat F# G E Never thinking bout what underlies it all All my friends were dumb as dirt and All we did was of no worth but Time moved fast and it didn't matter at all Then my eyes they started working leaving me a hopeless jerk in touch with how out of touch i am E D B A So sweet and schmoozy And oh so gooey B A Don't look now D E But your feelings are oozing All me, no you, see, Don't take it pursey Its not my fault if youre prone to losing |
Outside knowin what there's to know
That's inside that'll make my heart grow Big enough and mean enough To beat with damn Ill give in if you give up And stop quitting when im stuck But for right now Ill just sit and worship the here Come at me tooth and nail Bet you cannot impale A wound so deep I would actually feel the pain So sweet and schmoozy And oh so gooey Don't look now But your feelings are oozing All me, no you, see, Don't take it pursey Its not my fault if you're prone to losing So take my smarm with a grain of salt My false charm is all I will impart. |

G7 C
Telling a tale that hasn’t been told G7 D Telling yourself you’ll never be old C Em A Scolding a sap for tasting the sugar C Em D Scolding yourself for napping with vigor Hating the cow that doesn’t feel it can eat Hating yourself content to be beat Blocking a rhyme bright with an orange Blocking yourself by staying so foreign A C E A Begin Again and see stars plain A C E A Again begin with dots unclaimed A C E A Shaking yourself awake undreamed A C E A Shaking yourself wild to be seen |
Selling shit you wouldn't buy for the world
Selling yourself for less than your worth Melding meaning for the sake of a job Melding yourself so you might stay on Wailing mammal surfaced from warmth Wailing yourself to sleep in a hearse Finishing with fireworks doubled by pond Finishing yourself in hopes to move on Begin Again and see stars plain Again begin with dots unclaimed Shaking yourself awake undreamed Shaking yourself wild to be seen |
Cloud Factory

f A Bb
It’s the brightest above a cloud factory c gm f Because clouds can’t help but move a Bb Shifted and shaped along with the breeze. c gm f Those billows above set the stage for my dreams. f A Bb Workers breathe easy in a cloud factory c gm f With no need for masks or gloves or screens. a Bb The clouds do most of the work for free. c gm f As clouds make clouds by memory c gm dm (dm drop middle) f People come and go as they please. G Bm Someday clouds will storm our cities Am Cm And steal all our air G Bm One-day rain will drown our streets E c g In a heavenly flood of tears. |
f A Bb I knew this guy who worked with clouds. c gm f He called himself an Airtist. a Bb This guy would laugh and sing aloud c gm f Every moment seemed his greatest. C gm f To my surprise he was not proud c gm dm (dm drop middl)f And meant us all the very best. G Bm Things may not look too pretty Am Cm If all you do is stare. G Bm Am cm Dance instead of sitting. Make yourself believe G Bm E C No cushion ever misses a tenet on their feet. F A Bb Look up a cloud in your view C gm F within you'll find a trace F A Bb of a momentary part of you C gm F you might otherwise not face F A Bb F a cloud reflects most anything you're willing to embrace. C Gm dm (dm drop middle) F a cloud seeks the part of you that can't stay in one place |

E G A7 C
Without feeling the burden of consequence, E G A7 C Seconds pass in the increments I wish. A C G E My moments are mine and I’ll enrich yours Am F D If you can see what everyone else ignores. Standing in line is no way to live; Like water to metal, it’s too corrosive. What was you can’t help, but flake. Give yourself up for each other’s sake. g 7 bm am to and fro til the end of time am f we wade waist deep through cosmic sludge g7 bm am no bottom to top or front behind am f we boomerang around and around what was As they once were, precious few things remain. Soul and heart mutinied when losing their brain. Your fragmented you dilutes the idea of me To the point we could never be complete. |
Few would say there is very much to glean
From our intangible, ineffable, immaculate scene. There is what there is and it’ll all happen again. No point to the why until there’s a definitive when. rebound again and again we wake waiting for new proof of love not falling, but slipping in we weakly leech to dying warmth above Suck me into that bright blackhole See if I don’t just turn whole Take me deep into the sea soul Teach me all the things I don’t know. Shoot me out that wise blackhole How it all so quickly takes hold In this world there’s room to grow Play all day with no signs to slow Feel the pull so sweet tickling at your feet Jump-kicking the pull of Earth’s tender touch When you are strong enough You will never stop abrupt. This I promise, my little pup |

C #m G#m so boom we had a start C #m G#m quicker than we thought C#m F# E star smashing butterflied bellies then the middle came with finger pointing and blame stagnating dirty little deed C#m F# this so can't be fleeting E D A the chain from you to me C#m F# as long as my hearts beating E D A count on me whenever you need |
oh no so close to close who knows where it'll go when we finally set ourselves free but not quite yet coquette not quite as easy as that brainstorming fermented little seed must grow and grow and grow if it's gonna be a big as can be grow and grow and grow if it's gonna be as big as can be so zoom were at the end like it'd always been the place we were meant to be go back how you came if you really want to tame star smashing butterflied bellies |

Em D Am Em put away those water wings cuz its time for you to swim dont you dare let yourself sink you better stay above the brim fight against the undertoe that pulls ya from below cuz if you let yourself go itll likely swallow you whole Em D Bm A you better tread for your life and take a deep breath x 2 you better tread for your life and take a deep breath x 2 |
water water everywhere drowning you in despair drinking in as much air that your body possibly bare you better tread for your life and take a deep breath a little fish out on your own outside your tiny bowl welcome to the kill zone which feels nothing like home you better tread for your life and take a deep breath x 2 |

starved hounded so long like the wiliest spawn fresh onto this dawn new day born ramshackled alone sewn across the railroad drawn tracking the path to our home |
