We aren't discovering ourselves We've been discovered What's next? I need another problem Neal Cassidy Can't go further, farther, faster You're still first as long as you're not last Say it Make it a suggestion Just put it in their heads Let's smother it all No breath, no flame Know how to stifle yourself And in the back Of your closet There is a loaded gun In the back Of your head Hello, Hello Oh hell Oh no He did it Somebody did it again Somebody Somebody went off the deep end I'm parked Just off the back roads Eating stolen candy And watching the tide roll in And there will be days When it is a burden That someone is there Who cares about you Or at least it feels that way

So We're Not Talking 03:53

Smoking and leaning Two words that go so well (well well well) Together like you and I But not this person and this person In a terrible love song In an ironic comment In a reflection In a construct In a product Hello I am You can call me pleased to meet you And one day my heart will give out And the let side of my body will fail And I will cease to breathe But for now I need to clean my room ("Frank." "Yes Walter?" "All those miles of open sea, a man would need something to keep warm, wouldn't he?" Two bottles. "All of them Frank." "Three." "All of them Frank." "Five." "All of them Frank." "You got a pencil?") And I've been falling asleep To the sound of your mix Of sounds Sometimes nouns they stick Burning wax but not the wick Sometimes nouns they stick (Sometimes nouns they stick) And this is the part where I depart

I took out my brain at 2:30 this morning And again at 4 Weighing the options on a hillside Wishing there was more Run around the neighborhood Just discovered outside Lost across the street We're lost across the street We're fine Early morning fires Burning in my eyes Our awful noises make the neighbors cry (And our awful noises make the neighbors cry) The world can be a terrible place But so can I The signs said 'No Trespassing' So we took the signs Run around an hour Just around the inside Yet again I'm reeling Feeling this is so fine Breakfast of champions But we've already won Today started early Today is so much fun It's hard to remember to say you forgot In the time you've been around But when you're looking funny I can whisper how The stop is twisted Maybe someone's hiding like a little Playing painter in the leaves It's hard to forget to remember to say It's a while you've been around But when your mouth is feeling funny I can listen while you stop and whistle Baby's in the puddle and I'm wondering What I've got to do to go to there again My home is right here on your couch Every night I move in And every morning I move back out My home is right here on your couch Every night I move in And every morning I move back out

She burned up on the coast She burned up the coast Running scared from the sound of the terrible waves Blood rushing through all the major veins Another beautiful day Sweeping down a forgotten fire road With a rusty barbed-wire fence That never seems to end We're getting nowhere Just like back home We're just doing it somewhere else And soon enough We'll do it somewhere else Taking time to cut the beams beneath the rafters I will cut you down and try to break your heart From dusk til dawn to the grave and forever after This is more than you and I were looking for Feeling the fireworks synaptic relays firing overtime Working hard for easy answers Earning two cents every dime We're getting no place Quick as we know how Now we do it on the other side of town Best of luck outrunning the awful din Hands all clasped Fingers, toes and noses in Moriarty A never pleasant word Moriarty

(Damn you people! This is golf! Not a rock concert) And I know And I know And I know What's coming next Slow burn Has the sun started screaming yet? We're only slightly Stuck in the middle of three Laughing at the same Pieces of the elephant and castle Kostverlorenstraat Es tu oportunidad And in the sense I don't say no You could say that I'm addicted Who wants which turn? Please not this time Throwing faces at the animals Vandalizing in the afterglow And the best ideas strike before The lights come up and show We're chasing tails in the center of a roundabout Alibis unwelcome Sell them anyway Put your charm on hold And take a look We're three feet deep and sinking All my best friends say that Sometimes the bravest acts Are the most selfish So plug me in, I've got no plans Planted like a seed, grown teeming ends Hands like Mr. Subjugation When he calls, I tell him I'm on the mend We only show face in the evening To make heads throb, heartlike with a word You don't walk in long strides lately Is that what you know or what you've heard?

Who's cool? And who's using? People are a mystery Someone's a fool Someone's abusing Serene and soothing Yeah So have another one more Either/or it's all a bore Say goodnight And stop counting stars Or what's in store Late nights with your glass friends Your lighter's lying dead again Late nights with your glass friends Your lighter's lying dead again Late nights with your glass friends Your lighter's lying dead again Late nights with your glass friends Your lighter's lying dead again

I watched this true life episode recently About adult babies... And it was fascinating. Do you know anything about, like, The adult baby, diaper-loving community?  Well it's wild, uh, Let me... Let me tell you. These are folks who are adults, As you can imagine from the title, Who, uh also enjoy to, uh, Act as though they are babies? And so most of them wear diapers, And it's like a kinky sexual thing? But I watched this thing about adult babies And like, part of it... I don't know man, I feel so weird about it because There's like this dude, And he wears diapers... And like, his wife is giving him a sippy cup, And she is hella pissed off because They were married when he came out to her as an adult baby, So you know, but... You look at these people and you're like, 'I get it,' right? Like, at least a little bit, like... You know, no one wants to grow up, And that's really what I'm, That's- That's- That's the- The piece of this I'm clinging to, That's like the, The reason i brought this- My excuse for bringing this up at least, is that: The not wanting to grow up thing. So I get it. You don't want to grow up, You want to be an adult baby. Cause it's frustrating-- I don't like growing up, it's really annoying, and... I hate the responsibility and the things you don't expect, Like paying for paper towels, you know, but... Also... Adult babies are crazy dude! you should watch that episode!

I didn't want you to think That I was thinking of you And the pink paint stains on the highway It's been a long while Since I passed this place Counting rats on the tracks Of New York City subways And I forget the meaning Of sleeping well Burnt out on another couch In another town Who thinks he's coming around? It's the same headspace (same headspace) Working in our own ways (working in our own ways) And I think we've spent too much time Watching the sun rise It's hit the right stride (It's moving way too fast) But the moments never last (Keep your arms inside) It's time to take a day (Stay off the grass) And stand by the past (Make a little way) Some things just aren't meant for you And the one break is never enough Some things just aren't meant for you And I think we've spent too much time Watching the sun rise

(The idea evolves) I'll stop when you say I'm wrong Anyway, you know I'm not listening Couch me something new My lips, my eyes, my ears, my nose, what's next? Lately it'll be pretty late Lately it'll be pretty late We're marking anniversaries Of the good old days That we wished had stayed away Throw me in the LA River And drag me to a hospital Cause odds are that I won't drown But I'm gonna need some help And she never said anything, cause she's not real You can't play the game like that Throwing heavy questions at the street We're dressed in our Sunday best And talking through our teeth, Mouths shooting off again B-12 bombers, cigarettes Riboflavin sugar high Hello, I'm dying Throw me in the LA River And drag me to a hospital Cause odds are that I won't drown But I'm gonna need some help And she never said anything, cause she's not real And in these heavy summer days Everything's always such a mess I let it go until I need it Then pull it tight against my chest I might not like a lot but I don't not like this. But what's that What's that really worth? What's that really worth? It feels like my arms have fallen off And either way it's not my turn Your heady breath is a roller coaster Along this old and dusty earth Just chasing number eight Just chasing number eight We're laterally mobile, youthful types There's not much we can't escape

When will your fists relax? Breaking contact Turning around Stop looking back No rewinds While she waits in the lines We're in between leaving behind So subtle clues The greens and the blues In these dangerous times In these dangerous times In these dangerous times In these dangerous times (You have not known what you are - you have slumbered upon yourself all your life Your eyelids have been the same as closed most of the time What you have done returns already in mockeries The mockeries are not you Underneath them, and within them, I see you lurk) Then or now Then or now Then or now When you're around When you're around When you're around I'll call when you come around (til the sweat runs down in rivulets) Head heavy with the weight of the summer crown (til the bloody velvet's shed) Night's off cause the home team won't leave town

One lante, two way road It doesn't matter which way we go There's nothing there to stop us Better stop or we'll get something done We're rusted up paper clips We strayed out and straightened, far from this Everything you'll ever be Is at the bottom of a bucket of stars Took off time, got clothes off Took good, took bad Til the take was got We're breaking down the tall, tall trees For a day in the sun Top of the ocean Bottom of the world again And we've been waiting this whole time To rearrange the names of left and right To unpack the frame of this state of mind Stepped out, set out for something new New was just a dusty succession Of old, vandalized benches Far from anything, stopped writing Cause I never really have much to say Until I do This place is so familiar With the never-ending insect buzz of the crowd It's just another king of the world weeknight But which world am I king of now? And we've been waiting this whole time To rearrange the names of left and right To unpack the frame of this state of mind Top of the ocean Bottom of the world again
