Midnight Buys Me
Could somebody stop me
before it’s too late
would you walk with me
to my fate
I’ve been drop-shipped
too much of late
I’d just like to face
what I’m dealing with
I’ve tapped out
everyone I know
I don’t blame you
treating me as a ghost
got one last chance
to get it under control
before I’ve spent
the whole rent on my soul
I don’t even know
who’s dictating this
all I can tell ya
is she’s beyond pissed
this is my one last
desperate wish
bring it to an end
and forget the debt
Stoned in the Park
there’s nothing more to do
than put sun
on our face
on this beautiful day
as the world slowly turns
I didn’t turn
on the news
or even get dressed
I call out sick from work
close your computer
we meet at the park
saluting the commuters
you brought something
to cheer me up
and I’ve got
something for you
we then
take a walk
as if the world
was brand new
stoned in the park with you
a child with a balloon
lovers neck and neck
joggers chased by a squirrel
stoned in the park
what we need to do
to feel something like love
in a form we forgot how to use
you’ve got wine
I’ve brought cheese
minds start to spin
as we look at the trees
follow the clouds
’til it starts to rain
recording everything
to remember Monday
stoned in the park
what an obvious thing to do
sun and breeze float anxieties
around the world
Prices
If you’re lucky
you hit the three-sixty
full tour back
from where you came
many only get
one-eighty regretful bitter dies
their name
some only do
two-twenty
turning it around
a little too late
with you
I’m a constant ninety forever
wagging my tail
every day with you
is no gamble
playing that
numbers game
In the dark
our eyes adjust
the light’s gone out
the spark’s just a part
of our imagination
with this black
we stand out
what was taken as fact
has become a doubt
and we hold ourselves
as if we were someone else
as if we could tell
what the point of this was
we practice an end
again and again
doesn’t lessen the shock
we hope it’s just
the start
of
something
else
Potential
