Civility to Spare
03:20

I never got the joke
Where trust was the punchline
If you go looking for trouble
You find it every time
It eats up a little
Of a mutual Understanding
Which is a resource we
Should not be throwing away
When someone reaches out
I respond in good faith
But I'm less inclined to do so
When I get slapped in the face
I never thought that we
Had the civility to spare
The next time we reach out
There might be nothing there
I was just sitting in the sun
Thinking on how it used to be
When you've got nothing to lose
It's easy
When you have to decide
What to keep or throw away
It's much more difficult
Than it should be
I was just sitting by the sea
Thinking of al that's come to me
Getting here's not hard
It's staying
They're all gonna try
To take a bite of you
And everything you have
Is decaying
I was just driving down the road
Thinking of all that I'd let go
And what it had allowed me to gather
It was a struggle at the time
But now I've come to find
That I feel like I got away with murder

Already Spent

Gave a lot of living to this dying game
He gave a lot of living but was never the same
Talk a lot about it but we talk too much
Talked a lot about it but it's never enough
Thought a lot about but it cost too much
You can have quite a bit but it's never enough
Waited for a moment that came and went
Waited for a moment that was already spent
We talked a lot about it but
We can't seem to find it any time
But I don't mind if you don't mind
---
We talk a lot about it but
We can't seem to find it any time
But I don't mind if you don't mind
Gave a lot of living to this dying game
He gave a lot of living but was never the same
Talk a lot about it but we talk too much
Talked a lot about it but it's never enough

Isn't Enough
05:37

Well it's no fun making friends
You got to keep the ball in the air
And if you stop
For a moment
No one will be there
And if this isn't enough
And if this isn't enough
Sometimes they self destruct
First you drink to fall asleep
Then you drink to wake back up
And if you stop for a moment
You'll bite right through your tongue
And if this isn't enough
And if this isn't enough
I don't know what is
There was someone in there that I remember
There was someone in there who was kind to me
There was someone in there that I remember
There was someone in there I would like to see
I can't believe the shocks bent knees
Helps you to absorb
But if it stops for a moment
You might just fall through the floor
And if this isn't enough
And if this isn't enough
And if this isn't enough
And if this isn't enough
It's only gonna get worse

Of this Place
03:22

And if I seem taller than I used to be
It's because it's now I know what I want
And you can't take it from me
I used to be so scared
And now I say
This is the thing for which
I have prepared my whole life
And oh oh oh I got icy-hot
Running interference on the damage that I done to myself
Pulling things out by the roots
On location shoots for the rest of your life
I got my arm wrapped up
I need static to confuse the pain
Until it goes away
I got my face wrapped up
I need protection from everything
And them from me
I am of this place
I'm not above this place
Even though sometimes
It sure feels that way

Stranger to Failure
03:58
|

Sometimes I need reminding
Of certain things
Like how much I hate walking
When they clip my wings
It's always good to keep
In the back of your mind
That opportunities
Are hard to find
So enjoy what you have
Before they take it away
Because they might not give it back
No matter what you say
It's easy to get comfy
And not realize
That time is actually
Not on your side
But I'm no stranger to failure
I've been doing it my whole life
And I've gotten so much practice that I'm
Finally doing it right
Everything's more fragile
Than I realize
So I appreciate
How much is going right
It's tempting to compare myself
Unfavorably
To friends and peers
Who seem to have
Much more than me
But I'm no stranger to failure
I've been doing it my whole life
And I've gotten so much practice that I'm
Finally doing it right
