The Void
And out of nowhere
It starts to hurt both less and more.
The states between us crumble and reform
Into windows and locked doors.
Are we descending?
Or are we ending up on
Walls that no one sees or cares about
We’re all just shouting at the void!
In the age that no one asked for
And understanding things less day by day
And in the name that guy
I am sad to say I just forgot his name.
So we’ll stick it on the bookshelf
‘Till I notice I’m repeating myself—oh shit
Even with the blinds closed
The sun rips in and burns my skin straight through
Too much time and too much quiet
A perfect recipe to start up me and you
And then from somewhere
That hole gets filled up more and more
By ghosts and howlers who could
Care less if they’re heard
So let’s take it off the bookshelf
And shamelessly be ourselves in the meantime, darlin’
‘Cause we don’t have time for pretense anymore
Smash in the windows and unlock the doors, unlock the doors
I’m drowning in the river….

Haisley, Definitely
Oh lucky me
My eyes had just opened just right as the subway door closed
‘Cause there is no dream that could ever compare to you and your interesting hair
Haisley, you look like a Haisley. Ooooh--
Too hip for Samantha, too quiet for Becca. You’re Haisley. Definitely.
Creep. Rat. Short. Fat. Why are you staring at me?
I don’t know you. I don’t owe you.
Can’t a girl get from point A to point B?
Haisley—
Probably thinks I’m a Haisley.
Just keep your head down, hope he won’t come around
She sees me. Definitely.
I’m not phosphorous
burning white hot
On the tip of your match
I’m not dying
To light your cigarette.
Chorus

Ride Again
Sorry I haven't called
I could tell you that I had things to do
And yeah, I did, but that explanation would only be partly true
I got burnt out several years back
So much grad school, too much grad school
And yeah, I got fat, to the point I wear t-shirts at the pool
And that's if I can even pry myself out of bed
And leave the apartment
Rise now dear friends
These days are real
The kings ride again
Before us they kneel
My God, I'm a wreck
I've drank myself to next-to useless
I think my blood is something close to 80 proof it's
Probably sad
And by probably, I mean definitely
I think my liver deserves at least to help creatively
That'll maybe keep me from turning up dead
At least till I'm forty
Chorus
I know I can't recover all the years I pissed away
But if it isn’t too late, I'm back now
Chorus
Rise and seek some meaning
As real as what we’ve been feeling
And may they ride eternal
Behold them these gases are noble and true

(The City Is) Ours for the Taking
Sitting on the freeway
In a painted van, oh yeah
Alone
Then the invite comes through
I fumble on the dashboard again
Alone
But not for long
And you know I'm cooped up with my heart still aching
The city is, oh, it's ours for the taking
Even if instead, the whole town’s dead and there’s not much shaking
Tonight the city is, it's ours for the taking
Leather jackets and decals
There’s a place for all my pals
Oh yeah, Oh no, Oh yeah
Overwhelmed with outcomes
Couldn’t we do this on the phone?
Let’s go North. Let’s go South
Or to the end of the world where we came from
Chorus
How’s a 30-something s’pose to have fun in this game
when all the children spawn with way bigger guns?
This is my home
It is San Andreas
I’m just happy to
See my friends
Did you know you could start an impromptu race by selecting it in the interactions menu?
Chorus

Good Radon Song
Damn that’s a good radon song
It kind of feels like one that’s been here all along
And those guys sound just like they did in high school
And I don’t know if that’s a good thing, but I know
For sure that
Damn that’s a good radon song
It was April in Tacoma
and it was 1983
I was tired of the rain in the North West
And ready to start my life again
So I said goodbye to my soggy friends
I headed towards the rising sun
And in this new beginning
There was coming to an end
It was outside of Ontario
heading south on 84
I was held up at a diner
And you were coming out the door
So I asked your name when I saw your set
In the bed of your rusty truck
You were smiling as you talked the scene
And you joined before we’d even met
Chorus
It was as we were leaving Cheyenne
Just before we hit Pine Bluffs
And we caught the eye of the hitch hiker
Playing washtub bass in the median
So you shouted out the window
And his response was quite profane
And even as I was objecting,
You were opening up the backseat door
Chorus
It was the break of dawn on the Des Moines
We were packing up our camp
And out of the bush came a guitar man
in slippers perhaps purloin?
So we ask him if he could play that thing
And he spoke not another word
The glistening chords that he rang
Heralded our welcoming
Chorus
Awwww, yeah!
