Too late

It's too late
I'm already gone
There is no reason
To stay and wait
It's too late
Time has passed us by
No question on why
Or what to say
I've spent all this time
Crafting this crime
Just to find myself behind
The barrel of a gun
When I should have just run
But, it's too late
Life has passed me by
No reason to cry
I've earned this fate
Too late
All is past now
No question on how
Or where we'll go

Come visit me
02:29
|
|||
Come visit me at the lecture hall
I will be free for 30 minutes after class is out
We can meet outside the library
We'll get coffee across the street
Who knows what we'll talk about???
If you're busy, then just give me call
We can meet later this week
And I promise not to pout
Come visit me before the end of Fall, 'cos
I will be across the sea 'til the next semester's out
I can't see
Why you won't talk to me
I'm not as needy as
You might think

I will shovel your driveway
Even if it only snowed lightly
Even in the thunder and lightning
I know that's not likely, but
It's happened before!
I would shovel your driveway
Even if it has to be nightly
'Cos afterwards you'd always invite me
In for some coffee
Or cocoa and s'mores
Isn't it obvious, that I would do anything just to hang out with you?
I would shovel your driveway
I'd even shovel it manually
So we won't waste fossil fuel energy
Besides your car's buried
And the gas tank is empty

Trust me
Nothing ever good comes from over-thinking
And nothing at all comes from no thinking
Finding
A way in between can be a life long pursuit
Leaving
Before heading out on my own
I'll phone everyone I know
And falsely promise to write often
"Cos deep within I know I am really rotten

Avant-garde is easy
04:37
|
|
||
We are the cutting edge of the knife in your side
We are the people dressed in black
Throwing objects arbitrarily
At the movie screen
This is not art
This is obscene
This is not art
This is obscene
Avant-garde is easy
There once was a composer who sat in a room all alone
He wanted to hear a total absence of sound
But all that was there was a low humming
And a high-pitched ring was all that he found

Reset
03:03
|
|
||
I feel as though I am repeating myself
The sequence ebbs in the undercurrent
And it rocks my boat
And it pulls me underneath
I think this time I have defeated myself
One can only play outside for so long
Before catching a cold
Or falling from a tree
Even the sun needs to repeat itself
I can see the lawn needs reseeding
The morning cold is gone, the frost is fleeing
I have slept away
The winter's white decay
Oh I've been out too long I'm barely treading
The tide is far too strong, I am regretting
Drifting far from shore
But I've been here before

First divorce
03:23
|
|
||
We were just kids kissing in the hall
I held your books
I held your hand
Our parents were allies
And we never once stepped out of line
I made a point to purchase some topaz
On our two week anniversary
There was tension in my eyes
I thought that one day you would
Marry me
But are you just a girl who happened to be here when I needed you?
You didn't have to be perfect
I just needed someone to hold on to
I close the door and drew a portrait
Made of scribbled hearts and X's
I've never been good with bad news
Or understood how to learn from life's lessons
So it's up to the lines and loops
To guide me back on course
This is so selfish but it's like that
When you go through your first divorce
|

Too late, too late
00:59
|
|
||
I'm nervous all the time
And I don't know why
But I deserve this
It's too late
It's always too late

This road is not a road
04:14
|
|
||
As I drove through time
My mind became a highway
The landscape was always there
Even when I closed my eyes
The fields flew by
The mountain drew nearer
As time passed the road's edge vanished
Until the pavement finally succumbed
The forest swallowed the off-ramps
The sea absorbed the rest stops
But I continued
Despite my lack of visibility
And in this limbo between now and never
My arrival did not come
My departure was non-existent
I could not locate this place on a map
The only mark of time
Was land's reclamation
And its heartbeat aligning itself
With mine

Not the way
01:44

This is not the way I thought would end
This is not the way I thought would end
This is not the way I thought would end
This is not the way I thought would end
This is not the way I thought would end
This is not the way I thought would end
This is not the way I thought would end
This is not the way I thought would end
