i built a fire to fall asleep
i built a fire to pass the time
deep in the sassafras
you signed your autograph
while i made sure the facts aligned
i broke some bones when i was young
we break bones to pass the time
you said to write it down
you suggested journaling
but i'll stay clear from abstract mind
in the dark on the overpass
walking slow you go about
who told you first

another link it's indirect
i saw you listened to the architect wow
was my voice way too loud?
we were supposed to be the same
just different hair and different names wow
i think i'm going grey now
when you go back they'll be looking at you
and you'll be wondering am i telling the truth
cuz you knew me then
do you know me now
is it different when
i think out loud?
and when you came to pick me up
smoke was stained on the poster tops wow
i saw you raise your eyebrows
it's 2 pm and i'm sleepin in
i toss and turn and i yell at him now
another cat that meows
when you go back they'll be looking at you
and you'll be wondering am i telling the truth
cuz you knew me then
do you know me now
is it different when
i think out loud?

our little campus strides in silence
footprints apart show the pace
its growing dark after four o'clock
i'll glow with light in your place
easy wind has no cycle
my hair has never grown so fast
i'll underscore what you can't ignore
there's nothing more for us to ask
when we passed gleaming windows
when i looked you in the eye
when the cold reached our elbows
it felt so natural to be alive
my shaking hands
your student loans
my little fingers
your freezing toes
my crooked smile
your troubled past
our favorite stories
gone at last

lover of photographs
lover of artifacts
i'll try to figure it out
given my attitude
i don't know what to do
i'll try to figure it out
feet on the welcome mat
you blissful aristocrat
ill try to make it all clear
hopped up on dopamine
relive your uncle's dream
please try to make it all clear
given my attitude
i don't know what to do
i'll try to figure it out

pacing backwards down the empty street
hesitating to walk in your bare feet
cracking pavement splits the earth in two
memories stolen by the grass growing through
upturn the sinking stone
rebuild the palisade of white
throw down the wishing well
erase the artifacts of time
what's with the attitude?
you've got a lot of nerve tonight
are these the best years of my life?
hallways glisten the air it smells the same
sole provision know from where you came
pull me closer shield me from the light
keep it together tell me it's alright
upturn the sinking stone
rebuild the palisade of white
throw down the wishing well
erase the artifacts of time
what's with the attitude?
you've got a lot of nerve tonight
are these the best years of my life?
