FUTURE ONE
i'll start with yes, and from there I'll assume it's all gravy
cause i like to think that there's nothing in this world i won't try one time, one time's all right
i'm the fire.
somersaulting out of planes, salting away all of my summers.
broken facing down with a sign saying you are my customers, you're always right.
i'm the fire
cue the choir.
come on and let this be the moment when i
become a focus on my love type of guy
everything can fall wherever it wants
fuck my past tense, fuck my future one too
practicing my daily bread, checking on the beans that don't budge me
presently i'm sick in bed, you're a foot way and you ruin me, ruin me, ruin me, i'm alright.
i'm the fire
i desire
something higher
cue the choir
come on and let this be the moment when i
become a focus on my love type of guy
everything can fall wherever it wants
fuck my past tense, fuck my future one too

once this song is done i'm done as well
there's no glory left to squeeze
every note's
become rote
now its time to focus on
sleeping through the night
giving up on right
i can sell your cars
your cause
your stars
because
i am
someone ok with the time of day
ready to accept my lot
i can beat the world
or unfurl
either way i'll gently go
into that good night
giving up on right
i can sell your cars
your cause
your stars
because
i am
the one who drinks on time
the one who ends it right
the one who only wants to sleep at night
i can sell your cars
your cause
your stars
because
i am
the one who drinks on time
the one who ends it right
the one who only wants to sleep at night

BLOODY
10 AM on a sunday
pills haven't kicked in
it wasn't the booze, it wasn't the news
that we've got more guns than women
oh that doesn't seem right
back to that sunday morning
there's a dent, yeah foreheads a wreck
jackknifed eighteen wheels
and hollowed-out ideals
yeah it didn't work the first time
i was still intent
and it didn't work the twelfth time
that's the cause of my forehead dent
from banging my head against
a wall of cement
bloody
i'm bloody
and there's no money can stop me
i'll huff and puff and bang my head until i'm clear on through
now its 'round noon on that fateful sunday
i've got the scars to prove my track
there's a wrinkle there
right in front of my hair
i was 2 the fence was iron
it seemed a fair fight
didn't work though i was cryin'
i needed a stitch or three
from thinking my head could be
enough to compete
bloody
i'm bloody
and there's no money can stop me
i'll huff and puff and bang my head until i'm clear on through
i'll huff and puff and bang my head until i'm clear on through
i'll huff and puff and bang my head until i'm clear on through

BONA FIDE
Can i tell you a story about love.
There’s guts but no glory, fight but no fury.
I knew nothing ‘bout her then, still don’t now.
I just knew i got nervous, when she would come around.
That’s when i realized
my beating heart so i said
CHORUS
i am, i am, i am alive
you are, you are, you are alive
we are, we are, we are alive
we’re side by side
we’re bona fide
It was 7 or 8 then, casio watch.
Had my flannel i’m ready, this i’m not gonna botch.
That’s when i realized
my beating heart so i said
CHORUS
That’s when i realized
Her i idealized
we both have our hearts
now its time for us to start.
I sidled by her way, hilfiger shirt.
Mumbled something ‘bout lions, something undying.
CHORUS

LEE
i’d never say, oh I’d never say,
that i understand you
2 feet away, or an internet away,
that just won’t do, but
lee
you’ll beat it once you find out what it is
you’ll beat ‘em once you find out who they are
i know
where to start, oh yeah where to start
with the puppies or the cola cans
i’ll start with the brutal knowing
that no one could be good enough for
lee
you’ll beat it once you find out what it is
you’ll beat ‘em once you find out who they are
i know
we’re getting there
closer each step
when its revealed
promise me you will describe,
what life is like satisfied
so we can by you abide
here’s the end, of yeah here’s the end
seltzer water and blank t shirts
ready for their mass production
they just need all your confidences
lee
you’ll beat it once you find out what it is
you’ll beat ‘em once you find out who they are
and in the end you’ll find out what’s in you
i know
i know

WHAT’S THE UNIVERSAL
should i be everything, or just the thing that’s dear to me, its clear to me
should i be everyone, or just the people dear to me, its clear to me
should i be all the worlds, or the the earth its dear to me, its clear to me
or instead should i be, this striving person that i am
i’m not trying to appeal
to anything not real
its a big misunderstanding
CHORUS
what’s the universal now
what’s the universal now
is it common fence in law together social net worth
something like a sacred cow
what’s the universal now
i’ll be sad if i can’t find, one particular piece of me, that’s in you too.
something shared, but not compared, that keeps its lights on showing us, knowing us,
we’ll forget what it is, and only stumble over it, when we commit
and submit that we’re in a certain strand of humanity
so forget the appeal
to anything not real
its just teasing over your face
CHORUS
if i’m not everything, then at least can i be a piece of you
if i’m not everyone, then at least can i be a piece of you
if i’m not all the worlds, then at least can i be a piece of you
if i’m not everything, then at least can i be a piece of you
and if i’m not a sham everything, then at least can i be a piece of you
