if you think time is gonna change me thank god you have a patient mind I'm just waiting for the next train I just figured I'd drop by You say it's fine. This time. if I was standing in a searchlight would you ever call my name? you're just waiting for the next light I have always felt that way. I think it's fine. This time.

Saltwater 05:16
(for Danny) just go home now keep my headphones on find the last seat so no one ever knows just give up now no one could tell me I'm wrong won't be any use but I'd always know and so would you... if saltwater comes around I can keep it down I can keep it down If you found the strength to stand on two cold feet you'd step right through the door run and never stop when I think of you now won 't see you standing there can't see you sitting down I don't see a chair... if saltwater comes around I can keep it down I can keep it down

Handouts 03:49
a fool knows which way the wind blows knows which things the sun shows when to walk and stand a sign points him towards an exit guides him past a stairwell towards a high speed cage we all just wanna be free "if it could come to me" a light burns out in the the train car like the candle in his bedroom a couple nights before his keys are always in the same place never on the table never in the door a home just needs to be clean "if it would come to me" a fool, sitting by the window waiting for a phone call a stone in his cold hand If once, he'd only get a moment only get handout only catch a break "if it would come to me" "if it would come to me"

Paint Lake 04:29
near an airport in Winnipeg rental cars in a vacant parking lot crusted snow hangs from the door I never seen an indian before cut out of town and headed north a line of trees like an ancient video game melted rings on the sedan door I never heard of "Heart of Gold" before a pickup skidding across the ice a seaplane hanging in a cold and rusted vice frozen casts of fallen furs I never been so bored in my life before standing in a farmer's field scared to death of my little sister's words I saw the northern lights I never seen the sky so bright before

cyber surfer girl lives in a digital world she never calls my phone but she never leaves me alone she only wants to talk to me on Facebook or IRC oh cyber surfer girl. stone cold surfer girl in a cross-post material world she never speaks her mind eyes forward on the prize the only girl you'll ever meet who keeps her read-receipts oh cyber surfer girl and everybody knows you better than before it takes so little work to care but every time I close my eyes and think of her another sucker's always there cyber surfer, surfer girl...

I'm sick of being disgusted with every choice I make staring at her neckline trying to look away sick of feeling helpless so helpless I'd cry instead getting wasted doesn't work all the time and judging other people for the stupid things they do and then getting angry when I see it in me too sick of my apartment smoking pot to hide away I'm not sick of playing music I'll do that any day
