Monotony

There's a blanket of boredom on the air
Maybe that's the reason why I pull my hair
The Monotony of a routine can take your life like a guillotine
and leave you with nothing but a blank stare
There's and endless blankness in my mind
That I thought would change over time
A faceless drone on repeat
Go to work, eat, and try to sleep
and drink my liver completely dry
Maybe someday things will change
but for now I'm on the same page
Chapters behind the breaking point
I keep a smile on my face
even though I hate this same slow pace
The radio mimics life, the same old songs, playing for eternity
There's a falling sun in the Western sky
That continues to burn my watching eye
but there's a warmth in the glow
that makes my heart still want to grow
and chase that star to where it goes
I know someday things will change
The hinges will break on this old cage
The tide will take this wreck ashore
I'll keep a smile on my face
as I look back on this great distaste
the radio mimics life, the same old songs, playing for eternity

I haven't got the slightest clue
why all the sudden my thoughts are blue
feeling strangled and begging for air
I haven't the reason why
My throat should always be this dry
It gets watered every night
My head is a hand grenade not filled with gunpowder
but with explosive thoughts and dreams
It's been unstable lately with you around and it scares me
My Potter County, PA Beauty
I thought I had a clear line drawn
but now its clearly fucking gone
It makes no sense to me really
punk rock verses anything folky
My eyes and heart are filled with Paisleys
My head is a hand grenade not filled with gunpowder
but with explosive thoughts and dreams
It's been unstable lately with you around and it scares me
My Potter County, PA Beauty
Confidence is in full retreat
My heart now resides way down in my feet
but we both know it will work out in the end
because we know we're just good friends
My head is a hand grenade not filled with gunpowder
but with explosive thoughts and dreams
It's been unstable lately with you around and it scares me
My Potter County, PA Beauty

Sir Ben was good to us
A quiet time all alone
the great knight dubbed us happy
To each other our eyes were froze
And I remember like yesterday
the little bar with the church pews
I guess I really should've been praying
Instead of having a few
Two days in the harbor can teach you many things
Once one ship has sailedft to say to you
I hope the wind in your sails doesn't blow you too far away
That tower was astonishing
the one you said I had to see
And at the top I caught my breath while you smoked patiently
And I recall feeling lucky
Down at Carmodies
The Irish pub was empty
But my eyes were full
Two days in the harbor can teach you many things
Once one ship has sailed another will come in soon
And I've got one thing left to say to you
I hope the wind in your sails doesn't blow you too far away
The wind will blow

When the falling leaves
Match your hopes and dreams
It will feel like your on the path
To unhappiness
A mind consumed by fear
Will stop turning gears
And time will keep on flying by
Like bats in the night sky
I just can't sleep anymore I seem to have forgotten how
And these basement walls are coming in and down
Like the ever failing health of our situation
And at 2 a.m. I think of the dreams I should be having
Of goals yet to be met so I push this string to this fret
The stitches in my mouth
Are the most exciting thing right now
But even they can't help
With this empty cavity in my chest right now
Even though the leaves have fallen down
These old stitches can soon be pulled right out
I just can't sleep anymore I seem to have forgotten how
And these basement walls are coming in and down
Like the ever failing health of our situation
And at 2 a.m. I think of the dreams I should be having
Of goals yet to be met so I push this string to this fret

The chilling site was sobering
All that pipe bent and laying
On the ground beneath the wreck
Where did you go? Where did you go?
Never got to say goodbye to the ones you loved and left behind
But you're in a better place we know far from pain or anything below
The silence was so deafening
No one spoke just gazing
At what was left of the big mess
A shocking blow, Where did you go?
Never got to say goodbye to the ones you loves and left behind
But you're in a better place we know far from pain or anything below
Never got to ask you why it had to be this way or say goodbye
But we will remember your name and soul that were taken from the
Black Gold

Default Rails

Confined, confined in my own mind
Constricted, the indicative look on me
Comfort closing up shop too early
Tick tock time to watch the clock make its rounds
as I put myself underground
I've always driven on the shoulder baby
I've always known but it's hard to see sometimes
It's a long way down it's an easy way out and it's pulling me in
What will it be success or overcorrectivness?
I've been drier than a desert
Since that soaking hour of panic
My only oasis a round white tablet
as I lay here replaying the seen that made me so keen
I've always driven on the shoulder baby
I've always known but it's hard to see sometimes
It's a long way down it's an easy way out and it's pulling me in
What will it be success or overcorrectivness?
Im morning the loss of a satisfied me
If I knew what I wanted I could be at ease
But the vagueness of my mind keeps me standing in line
And rolling on default rails
