Everything Cute

Let’s pretend that everything’s cute
And there’s nothing wrong with me or you
Let’s pretend everything you say is true
And I’ve got no reason to doubt
It’s all about just building a world
A place we can hang out for a while
I can think of a better place drawn on paper
It can be whatever I want
a gap between the way things are
And my expectations
Look what I’ve drawn here
does it need more explanation

I don't need a blacklight to shine
I got all these ideas in my head
If I'd only take the time to write 'em down
I got hours for nothing

You’re next to you
I’m beside myself
Connected mind shared memories
You’re next to you
I’m beside myself
A million imperfect facsimiles
I always make the same mistakes
It all becomes one thing
It’s all the same
It’s all a blur
Familiar face I’ve seen somewhere before
It’s such a shame
It’s such a bore
Familiar face I’ve seen somewhere before
I spent the night with
Your clone
You get the job done this time I’m dead
I spent the night right next to your clone
Don’t fail where the others have
There is always a fun part
You wouldn’t do it if there wasn’t

I’ll sleep my life away
no machine so I can’t compete
We’ll never make it at this rate
Why would today be any different?
Had a dream I ate a bonsai tree
Even in sleep I can’t find peace
I guess I wanted to freak you out
That’s what really satisfies
Out out out from the basements
Out into the rude light
Out out out from my solitude
Not trying very hard but
Hometown heroes
What else can we aspire to be?
Much respect for this wasteland
Make my way off hating this place
Now show me some love
You want the truest songs to come from the lowest places
So I guess I can crouch down
Now show me some love

There is a field
Under moon
There is a sky
in the darkness
There is a stick
In your throat
season to kill
on the stairs
There is sinew
Under your coat
A look in your eye
I might miss
There is a hill
We can lie on
You come from high on the plains
We end up here right in the same place
No one knows your past
We come from wildernesses of mistakes
Snow underfoot
There is no summer
It will grow back
Just not right now
A time on the floor
A place to get used to
Curl up and sleep
A place to get used to
Choose me come home
Or a field in the darkness
There is a moon
I’d grab if you wanted
A season to kill
It will grow back
Running around
Getting lost
You come from high on the plains
We end up here right in the same place
No one knows your past
We come from wildernesses of mistakes

I’ll fix my car
You fix me
How long til
I’m rolling
I can’t wait
She says I’m impatient
That’s not great
Hang in there
Not that loud
Sound system
On the block
Loud enough
Speaker’s blown
Loud enough
I’ll fix my car
You fix me
I’ve got bits
parts for days
How long til
I’m rolling
She says I’m impatient
No one wants any answers
We just want our own way

Always with the whining
You never drink a guy’s last beer
Sorry my friend, I already did
You’re sick of excuses
I’m sick of this headache
I’ll go to the store and get you some more
Always with the whining
Waking up in a pool of sweat every time
Paying for it later catching up every time
Sick to my stomach was worth it
Gotta justify it every time
I'll crush a whole pack of sparkling water tonight
Easy tonight

You got me running around in a cage
I shit and I piss on wood chips
You got me screaming all night
Just don't put me down in a place where you can't see me
I shit and I piss on wood chips

Everyone laughs at the first joke
But then you just can’t shut up
And then it isn’t funny anymore
Say something smart
Say something incisive
Commentary
I’ve got a take on this you’ve absolutely got to hear

I don’t know why we drink in the alleyways
We’re wasting our ideas away
One day we can get it together
There will always be tomorrow
Make mine a triple shot
So I can keep the pace
Go on ahead don’t wait up for me
I’ll walk home wasted
I know these can’t be good friends of mine
Give up early and choose your own end
I slouch in the doorway and slur my words
But you’re the one with a problem
I don’t know why we drink in the alleyways
We’re wasting our ideas away
One day we can get it together
There will always be tomorrow
I don’t know why I can’t stop once I start
I don't know why we always circle back to this part
