I get low sometimes, I just fold into the sound
But when I’m running light I make sure to look around
I have to find a gas station
And I would drive all night if I could only steal a car
I’ll make it to the countryside, it is not so very far
I can see the morning light, it’s like honey on my eyes
And if you forget it once, it might take you by surprise
Where you can find a gas station
Gas Station (I’m filling up)
(I’m filling up now)
You can take a rest at the gas station
Pull up to the pump and close your eyes
You can take your time at the gas station
I’m filling up (gas station)
I’m filling up now

She said "I’m so sick of these times,
Nothing ever really changes anymore
It’s just like infinite days"
I said "are you out of your mind? It’s all constantly rearranging
We’re on a wild ride taking its sweet ass time getting to where it’s going
And you better strap yourself in, cause
You gon’ wait the long wait (That’s right)
You gon’ wait the long wait (It’s old and it’s true)
You gon’ wait the long wait (I know, I know)
And I hear you man, it takes its toll on you, you spend all that time playing catch up just to fall way behind
But take a breath, spend some time within
It’s always the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning
There ain’t nothing in between
So buckle up, cause
You gonna wait the long wait (I ain’t playing here)
You gonna wait the long wait (It’s alright)
You gonna wait the long wait (Be patient, it’s a matter of fact)
You gonna wait the long wait (Be patient, it’s a matter of time)
You gonna wait the long wait (That’s right)
You gonna wait the long wait (I know)
You gonna wait the long wait (You better strap yourself in)
You gonna wait the long wait (I ain’t got nothing but time to waste)
You gonna wait the long wait (So buckle up)"

Excuse Me

Excuse me, but you look just like someone I know
It’s confusing, it’s like I’ve seen your face many times before
Do you remember we were hanging out just down the road?
Back in September, one of them, it could’ve been years ago
I wrote you a letter, you did not reply
I thought it was funny, but I couldn’t tell you why
It was in error that I told you I would take your name
Believe me, there was a time when I felt your pain
Wait
(Excuse me)
I cannot find-
(but you look just like someone I know)
I cannot find you
Yes, I’m on my way
But the body is old and the spirit is waning
I cannot find you
Yes, I’m on my way
But the spirit is worn and the body is aching
(It was an error)

Give me a holler, tell me a joke
We need a reset, a little levity
You got some heartache and I know it’s old
It’s not a weakness, it’s just a memory
I think about it all the time
But I can deal with it
I can see you getting older, a little more upon your shoulder
You got your arms akimbo like a goddamn hero
And this life ain’t so easy (no), but it’s hands down one of the best
It’ll make you bold or it’ll take you down with it
I can feel you got a lonely
I can feel you got a lonely heart
I can see you got a loaded
I can see you got a loaded gun
I can see your palm holds a little clover
You give it sunlight, you feed it water
You bring it outside into the soil
Just give it time and it will grow
You can leave it alone
I can feel you got a lonely (alone)
I can feel you got a lonely heart (alone)
I can see you got a loaded (alone)
I can see you got a loaded gun (alone)
Alone
God, it’s getting harder to reach you
I’ve gotten caught up in a world I don’t want to leave
I just need a little more light to make it through
This time for real
I can feel you got a lonely
I can feel you got a lonely heart
I can see you got a loaded
I can see you got a loaded gun

Staycation

I take my time with it, my time with it
A whoopsie little daisy
I spent my life in it, my life in it
But you, you keep me going
I cross the line to it, the line to it
I’m thinking it could end me
And I feel alright with it, I feel alright
But it’s always on my mind, yeah it’s always on my mind
Staycation, I’m not where I wanna be
Staycation, nowhere left but in between
I lose my mind in it, my mind in it
I try to walk it back
But I waste my time on it, my time on it
The sun is coming out
So I turn my eyes to it, my eyes to it
I step into a pool of light
And I could die in it, yeah I could die
I’m going in alone, yeah I’m going in alone
Staycation, I’m not where I wanna be
Staycation, nowhere left but in between
Staycation, you’re out of sight, not out of mind
Staycation, it’s not the best, but it’s alright
Staycation, staycation
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, here we go
Staycation, I’m not where I wanna be
Staycation, nowhere left but in between
Staycation, you’re out of sight, not out of mind
Staycation, it’s not the best, but it’s alright
Staycation, where I wanna be
Staycation, in between
Stay

Brutta Vita

(Come on jar, tell them the time)
You stay with the beat of the drum
It will keep you in time all your life
If you only have enough for the one
You can spend it with mine, that’s just fine
At what cost, at what cost do we go on?
(Tell them the time)
It’s a hard life
It’s a waning course
It’s a faint light
It’s a brutal force
It’s a hard life (la brutta vita)
It’s a daily chore
It’s a faint light (il bel mondo)
It’s an endless bore
You stick with the slight of the hand
Playing tricks on your mind, morning to night
A memory could fool anyone
It’s there to keep you in line
Oh me, oh my, oh no
(Tell them the time)
It’s a hard life
It’s a daily chore
It’s a faint light
It’s an endless bore
It’s a hard life (la brutta vita)
It’s a waning course
It’s a faint light (il bel mondo)
It’s a brutal force
(it is endless)
It’s a hard life (il bel mondo)
It’s a daily chore
It’s a faint light (la brutta vita)
It’s an endless bore
(it is endless)

(Chill)
Said I’ll hold you down baby, if that’s what you want
For me, it’s all gravy
It’s just the way you look at things, y’know
Like, you feel you’re stirring crazy? Well there’s sense to that
But now time is running steady
Or you could amend that to say
It’s just different shit
On the same day
It’s just different shit on the same day
It’s all different shit on the same day
Said I’ll pick you up baby, if that’s what you need
Me, I’m feeling lately, that I’m easier to please
People got it all up in their heads now
That they’re going down (and they’re right to think so)
But since when did they ever know which way is up?
On the same day
It’s just different shit on the same day
It’s just different shit on the same day
It’s all different shit on the same day
It’s all different shit on the same day
Said I’ll work it out baby, I just need a little more time
My heart is beating quickly and my blood is rushing to my head
And my head is heavy on my eyes, and my eyes are staring at my bones
And my bones are crumbling into dust, and that dust is turning into gas
And that gas is rising to the clouds, and those clouds are never gonna rain anymore, you know?
On the same day
It’s just different shit on the same day
It’s just different shit on the same day
It’s all different shit on the same day
It’s all different shit on the same day
On the same day
On the same daze
On the same day
Infinite daze
On the same day
