if life is a movie
then i’m not an actor
i’m just a viewer
the movie’s moving faster
my life’s not a story
and you’re not a character
nothing is a mystery
i’ll float down the river
my life’s not a garden
your love ain’t the rain
i’m watching the future
pass me like a train
i look out my window
the ground looks the same
i look in the mirror
have i even changed

don't look now
03:39
|

|
wake up start your routine
come home and go to sleep
keep those thoughts from your head
keep calm and smile instead
don’t look now your time is gone
did it take that long?
sorry it’s too late
we already know your fate
you will be like the rest
but stay strong and try your best
don’t look now your time is gone
did it take that long?

you’ve been looking down in the dumps
and it don’t look good on you
listen here i’ll tell you something
i know what you gotta do
in the past i’ve had my troubles
i know what it’s like to be blue
if you’re smart you’ll take my advice
i know what’s best for you
don’t be sad
the sun will come out tomorrow
don’t you cry
god’s on your side
don’t be upset
forget about your sorrows
don’t be sad
it’ll be alright
i’m right
suck it up and keep on moving
look at things more from my view
you can’t keep playing the victim
i know what you gotta do
you can say I don’t understand
and it’s clear that I have no clue
but i’ll always believe what i say
and think I know what’s best for you
don’t be sad
the sun will come out tomorrow
don’t you cry
god’s on your side
don’t be upset
forget about your sorrows
don’t be sad
it’ll be alright
i’m right

big lawn

empty summer afternoon
memories of the big lawn
nothing like a day in june
sky is blue and the grass long
and you can see it now
staring at the clouds
gravity’s gone for a few
when you’re jumping off the swing set
you’ll never again be this new
and you’ll also never forget
don’t forget
and you can see it now
staring at the clouds
the sun is filtered down
through the leaves
onto the ground

i don’t know what to do
cause i still want you
but you don’t feel the same
we were once so happy
and we really should be
we can get there again
if you just
tell me what to do
tell me what to say
i’ll be anything for you
i’ll be your clay
take one look in my eyes
please don’t tell me no lies
was it me the whole time
was it something i said
or should i be different
will you please tell me why
will you just
tell me what to do
tell me what to say
i’ll be anything for you
i’ll be your clay

if they say they love you
will you love no one else
but do they really love you
or can they only love themselves
she lies on the big lawn
sinks into the earth
but this is not her homeland
this is not her dirt
people don’t think that it be like it is
but it do
and it don’t
when he looks at the stars
he can see the light
sees that he knows nothing
but he knows he’s right
this life has no meaning
i cannot pretend
but i still have this feeling
that it matters if it ends
people don’t think that it be like it is
but it do
and it don’t
|

i will go there too
03:25
|
|||
|
this is how it will end
with your head stuck in the fence
this is how you will die
eyes turned towards the sky
this is how you will go
naked in the snow
but i won’t be far behind
and when it’s my time
i will go there too
cause i’m like you
and you’re like me
and i’m like you
and you’re just like me
this is how you were raised
middle class and suburban malaise
this is how you were born
never known anything but the war
you say life’s a gift not a choice
what a curse it can be with no voice
and when it’s all said and done
no such thing as a chosen one
i will go there too
cause i’m like you
and you’re like me
and i’m like you
and you’re just like me
and i’m just like you

dirt town
02:52
|
|||
|
dirt town falls asleep
and the sand beneath its feet
will soon return to the sea
and take with it all that’s left of me
buildings made of dust
will still succumb to rust
and you are made of dirt
but you’ll still find a way
to get hurt
dirt town don’t you cry
cause when those tears fall from the sky
they will wash away your pride
and you are all that’s left behind
houses made of mud
will not survive the flood
and i am made of dirt
but i’ll still find a way
to get hurt
|

9. |
for me here
03:48
|
|||
|
well i think i’ll head downtown
and get caught up in the crowd
then i’ll move on up the hill
you can come too i hope you will
i see people all around
with their heads stuck in the ground
they don’t seem to care
if they end up anywhere
and there’s no one for me here
well i think i’ll start a war
with all the things i’ve known before
i need to tear it all apart
i need to find a brand new start
and i go down to the river
watch the moonlight as it quivers
ride my bike home in the rain
and tomorrow i’ll do it again
and there’s nothing for me here

homeland

i love the mountains and i love the valleys
and i love the homeless sleeping in alleys
i love the rivers and i love the pine trees
and i love the children torn from their families
i love my freedom yeah i gotta have it
and i love the crack heads and heroin addicts
i love the big guns god put them in our hands
and i love my country
i love my homeland
where i was born
and i love my homeland
i love the jet skis on lakes filled with blue gills
and i love the plastic and i love the oil spills
i love the dirt roads and i love the dirt bikes
and i love the big bombs and i love the drone strikes
i love the ramparts oh that banner yet wave
and i love extreme wealth built on the back of slaves
but i love jesus and i love my fellow man
‘cause i love my country
i love my homeland
where i was born
and i love my homeland
i love the mansions right next to the projects
and all of the history that i can just forget
and all this is stolen but i know it’s god’s plan
‘cause i love my country
i love my homeland
where i was born
and i love my homeland
and i’m proud to be an

jesus came to me
in a dream
jesus’ skin was brown
and his face shaved clean
he said nothing
please show me the light
please tell me that i’m right
please show me the light
please tell me that i’m right
your ghost sat by me
underneath that tree
turned the cold dead leaves
from brown to green
then you left me
please show me the light
please tell me that i’m right
please show me the light
please tell me that i’m right
