Half-Moon Bag

Don’t look so woebegone
There’s no world beyond the windows
And when the windows are shut
The day is done
It’s done
Just pull the covers up
It’s where we go to sleep and choke our thoughts
And keep still until dawn
I’m living the dream
And everything’s perfect
Look mom, I’m happy
It’s just like we rehearsed it
No need to sigh
‘Cause planet Earth can’t fit inside
A small blue half-moon bag
Under your eyes
And this will all be televised
(All be televised)
Be glad you got the part!
Remember
Someday we’ll be ejected from the world like a cartridge
I think you need a paper bag
I thought you got used to the wobble!
But now you’re dizzy again
Not again
Again
Oh no
I’m eating my greens
And everything’s worth it
Tell dad I’m healthy
Just like he predicted
No need to sigh
‘Cause planet Earth can’t fit inside
A small blue half-moon bag
Under your eyes
And this will all be televised
(All be televised)
Be glad you got the part!
Remember
Someday we’ll be ejected from the world like a cartridge

Toking, Dozing
03:46
|

Surely when we die we’ll go someplace
But what about the dolphins?
Does anyone there hear and understand cetacean prayers?
I mean if not that’s a bummer
‘Cause I’m just toking, dozing
No emotions
And no garden hozing
It’s nothing much thought-provoking
Just a hollow moment
A couple more of those and I’ll be done
Smoking
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
We were never quite at home in Paradise
So if it’s any consolation
This CGI some folks are working on is just unbelievable
So turn your televisions on again
‘Cause you wouldn’t want to miss a thing
Of these wonderful times that we’re living in
I’m just toking, dozing
No emotions
And no garden hozing
It’s nothing much thought-provoking
It’s just a hollow moment
A couple more of those and I’ll be done
Smoking
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na

Maybe Another Time
03:05
|

The sunlight stabs my eyes
There’s birds perching on the powerlines
I wonder if you woke in someone’s arms
and if you’d ever consider mine
The swaying shades of acacias
in flower arrangements suggest
That it’s time for me to be a man
Or else with what regrets
Would I be left to live forever
The sky hangs undisturbed like a static pond
Oh world, may you be preserved just as you are when I return
The scent of evening air is cinnamon sweet here
But it’s lost on my lungs breathing in
The sunlight stabs my eyes
(It stabs my eyes)
There’s ferns running up the traffic signs outside
(Outside)
I tell the ether all of my desires and she says
“Maybe another time”

I'm Warping Here
03:35
|
|||
There’s some things I regret
Like torturing insects in the garden when I was ten
Faking tears for grandma’s death
Stealing toys from all my favourite friends
But do whatever you want
‘cause it’s the time of your life and it’s gonna level out
Maybe It’s just getting to the point where you know
it’s gonna be like this from now on
Maybe I’m wrong
And I’m portraying someone I’m not
Maybe I’m not ever really home for long enough
To stare my own eyes down
Maybe I’m wrong
I’d only ever do the perfect scissor kick
On an empty pitch
When there’s nobody cheering me on
Oh, I have lost my dreams for you, boy
You should have known it was the time for you life
and it was gonna level out
Maybe I’m just getting to the point where you know
it’s gonna be like this from now on
Maybe I’m wrong
And I’m portraying someone I’m not
Well maybe I’m not ever really home for long enough
To stare my own eyes down
Maybe I’m wrong
Maybe I’m just getting to the point where you know
it’s gonna be like this from now on
Maybe I’m wrong
And I’m portraying someone I’m not
Well maybe I’m not ever really home for long enough
To stare my own eyes down
Maybe I’m not
All I know for sure is I’ll sit this one out

People Wither
05:11
|
|||
Come, get up, they say it’s morning
And if you’re not the one it’s dawning for
There hasn’t ever been a day more opportune
To sit out than this one
Just let the sun pour in through the window for no one
‘Cause I
I know how it feels
“Things happen for a reason”
is what we’re always told
For a moment I believed it
But now it’s getting old
And if your dreams are taking beatings
I’ll join you on the floor
You had best believe that
Nobody owes you closure
How I wish someone had told me that
And everywhere you go is where you are
There you are
And all you bring is all that you’re running from
And I
I know how it feels
“Things happen for a reason”
is what we’re always told
For a moment I believed it
But now it’s getting old
And if your dreams are taking beatings
I’ll join you on the floor
I know all your present feelings
are gonna see you off
(All people wither in the cold winter weather)
(We’ll be okay)

Day One
05:20
|
|||
Behind the glass
A leaf is falling
Carried by a gentle sigh
A dog is walked
A lawn is watered
But what am I?
Forgotten
A golden frame
For an aching pain
I'll swallow
In a quiet room
While outside the flowers bloom
as they would
Anyway
The sick are brave
And extra loving
I'm none of that
I'm just sick and tired
The children play
Without a warning
The trees are yawning
But then it’s quiet
A pouring rain washes away
Tomorrow
And its every word
All its faces flaunt concern
Cause what if it did?
And the storm persists
For many years
And I'll spend my days
As though it would
Anyways
Sometimes I get choked up
Counting my prayers
in a holy sense of disarray
Cause I spend my days
Wishing things could ever change
As if they could
Anyways
