Submarine 02:50
On my sister's wedding day, I convinced you to stay with me and all my lack of ways to see eye to eye I am a submarine in shallow seas taking a peak with my periscope I clearly see you drifting away from me I know I cannot hide, my metal hull is a disguise a panicked crew waits in side for my command to dive but I surely won't submerge and float beneath not being heard there are so many words that should be said you said a hundred times I can't provide I won't waste my time making this right

The day that I die you can put me in the earth down in the dirt I'll wiggle with the worms I want to live as solid as a sword determined as a soldier headed off to war and when you find my tentacles washed up on shore I'll be growing new ones, stronger than before the day that I'm defeated I will still want more I'll help you build my grave, it'll look like a door The day that I die, I'll become a ghost I'll sleep between the dunes, I'll wander up the coast I want to live as buoyant as a boat as alert as the lighthouse guiding your way home I'm spending all my days drawing charts and maps no matter where I travel I'll find my way back so keep your eyes on me and notice where I'm at I'm a textbook example of how to adapt

If "talking to" is a euphemism for fucking then you should really shut your mouth the whole nation of russia is budding into our conversation I'm in a cold war, a race to launch satellites I live in fear of the information that they find dubstep dance nights, drugs and propaganda all I have to offer is my ability to stand up I seem to have failed so miserably but I seem to have a way out of everything you seem to have caught me off my guard but it will never happen again oh no it happened again, why do I even pretend that you could be anything but poisonous? i've been giving out the benefit of the doubt like pamphlets at a protest against myself you hate american football but your throwing arm is pretty strong you demonstrated, throwing that mason jar at me i bolted out of there, shouted your crazy from down the stairs into the alley I peeled out in my car

Old World 04:06
I'm two steps removed from the old world i've never killed my own food I'm too shiny and new I'm not the son of an immigrant I came wrapped in a box with a barcode on top and all the words i say are so square in their shape its a shame If I can't build and I can't kill I'm a fish on land with air in my gills

Visitor 04:21
I've been here long enough to know all of you are full of shit Oh my god, its so much fun living in los angeles, florida All of you are so important it makes me sick! I've been here long enough to know that I am not one of you I fall somewhere in between two states of visitor and prisoner either way I'm forced to say this isn't worth my time if i was displaced by circumstance I have no regret i am making a confession I'm the one who led us to this train wreck apologies to all of you who followed me

We march through deep snow woods just to find out we could we carry our sticks and stones we have a long path to roam and a few miles back, they've got rifles on their shoulders marching in a square path this is how you grow older out on the fields, the cattle look cold inside my boots i can't feel my toes we walk on the tracks, the snow breaks apart how long 'til we say we've gone to far?

There's nothing like a month on a couch to help me find my way out I needed time, I needed friends, I needed anything at all and since I've been gone, I heard about the burn on your arm I know that must of hurt, and I hope you don't think that you are cursed I've got these tattoos I hate and I get by on my straight face I'm sick of always explaining myself to everyone No I don't believe in much, and yes I thought there was something to trust In a way it was nice to know that when I die I've got somewhere to go Ever since we moved down and switched towns I have had so many shapes to take, to fake I went down to tampa with some friends now the state wants my money again we didn't do anything wrong, I like an arms distance from the arm of the law I stand up for myself much more, more than i did, I crumbled before I had pocket change for self worth, I tossed it away like crumbs for the birds I found myself a dance floor girl, I surfaced myself in a parallel world I couldn't help but notice her eyes as she passed out in the coffee line I'm not sure i've lived long enough to tell apart what i need and what I want this is my explanation of my new found lack of patience
