lyrics

(Happy Tooth)

Another night awake
I guess I'll never sleep at all.
Say it's meant to be
and what you do can be unspeakable.
And I don't need control.
That's just not who I am.
No man is an island,
but I'm stranded by the night stand.
Started this whole thing as
a way to escape myself.
Nowadays it's been a cage
to debate my hell.
If something bad happens
I'll say it's supposed to be,
Even if I brought it on myself
supposedly.
I never gave up,
but I gave in though.
Nonetheless,
it almost sorted out
this fuckin mess in some respects.
My shortcomings are forthcoming.
I'm only sure of something,
I wasn't born for nothing.
We weren't born for nothing.
But if it ends tonight.
That's how it's gotta go.
Even if I'm by myself
I know I'm not alone.
Fate's just a way to justify
a bunch of lies.
So I'll tell myself everything's fine
a hundred times,
and I'm fine.

(Ryan Liptak)

Afterglow,
but it hardly shows.
Is this the spark to set the blaze?
I suppose,
to never know,
couldn't be the worst of ways.

(Dug)

"You made it this far,"
I mutter under guitar
& get down with the get down
& get over myself
Or we could flip out,
a 180,
some day we
maybe will
But til then
doing the Mope
and feeling helpless don't help
Dance in the waterfall,
like dribbling a soccer ball
As in, I can't do either well,
but, hell, it's never stopped me before
The pieces seem to fit.
You'd see if you believed in it
But then what would I sing about
& think about for hours some more?
Shrug it off,
the shoulder weight
You feel you have to hold of late
If that was the solution
you would've seen
some kind of movement by now
Go head and clip my wings
That only makes it interesting
& as for all the misery
it's just one more thing I'm figuring out
& in the grand scheme
it's all a damn scheme
Until I get the people dancing,
I don't know what I came here to do
I do it anyway,
like every day,
and anyway
I tell myself most every day
I don't have to explain it to you

(Ryan Liptak)

Afterglow,
but it hardly shows.
Is this the spark to set the blaze?
I suppose,
to never know,
couldn't be the worst of ways.
The longest night can't last for days.

(Dug)

Leave behind
a monument
to all of it.
Acknowledgement
that it is what it is,
and therefore,
will be what it will be.
