about

(recorded 1994) – An autobiographical account of what my early twenties looked like after my first band fell apart.

lyrics

DROPPED FROM THE NORTHEAST TO THE STAR ON THE MAP AND
LEFT THAT SCHOOL WHILE THE PAINT WAS STILL WET AND I
MOVED TO NOWHERE THEN I LIVED WITH NO ONE YOU NEED A
GOOD DOSE OF SOLITUDE TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF BUT ALL THAT
TIME ALONE COULDN’T TEACH ME CROWD TECHNIQUES I’LL BE
IN THE CORNER WHERE THE KNEES ARE WEAK

NOW I’M FORCED OUT HERE ALONE
THE FREAK TO ENTERTAIN SOMEONE
AND ALL THE LINES I WROTE AS FIX (TO HEAL)
MISSED EVERYONE THEY SHOULD’VE HIT (THAT COULDN’T FEEL)

WORDS TURNED TO LYRICS AND LYRICS TURNED TO SONGS
SONGS TURNED TO SINGING THAT TURNED OUT ALL WRONG GLAM
RACKET HIT THE BOTTOM AS THE PLAYERS CHANGED I
KNEW THE BEST THEN IT ALL GOT REARRANGED SEE I
TRUSTED EVERYONE AND TORE MY CHEST CAUSE I
DREAMED IN HISTORY AND WE COULDN’T MAKE A DENT IT’S A
KISS FROM GRAVITY TO DISCONNECT THIS SCENE AND
CONSUMMATE THE FINAL SPLIT OF ME IF I
IF I WERE AUTHOR THEN I’D TITLE YOU “FORGIVE” CAUSE
BROTHERS ARE A RARITY COMPARED TO JUST MERE FRIENDS BUT I
HAVE NO CONTROL OF CLOCKS AND LESS CONTROL OF HEARTS
SO I’LL BE IN THE CORNER WITH AN UNDERRATED SHOCK

THIS TOWN’S CELEBRITY IS JUST WHAT IT WANTS TO BE AND
I’M NOT PREACHING TRUE OR FALSE, TRUE OR FALSE
IT JUST OUTGROWS ME AND TIPTOES QUIETLY TO
LEAVE ME SINGING TO MYSELF AS I
BUILD A CATALOG OF ALL THESE PATIENT SONGS AND IF THEY
CATCH A GLIMPSE I’LL AT LEAST HAVE WROTE MY OWN
