Preface to a Footnote

Please could you take these words and put them to feeling?
We're flesh In the flood; drown in what you once loved
Don't you worry your pretty mind our lives won't mean anything
Ligament operator - what's the cause of this blood?
Ligament operator - we've found a curse in this blood
Sympathetic parenthesis
Shake at the sound of your fist
Clenched teeth hide the words that you hid deep in your lungs
and the love letters hide the holes you put in your wrists
Of blood lust and fad trust you've picked up and got lost
with pictures and volumes you fail like a burned moth
Of blood lust and fad trust you've picked up and got lost
with pictures and volumes you fail like a burned moth
Your wings hit the flame and you've wasted your feeling
Your wings hit the flame is that judgement you're feeling?

Looking out on the precipice of something that's greater than myself
considered myself a pessimist but now I'm clinging on to the doubt
Did we get off on right foot or was it the wrong foot - it's just the same
I never thought that we'd make it
I never thought that you'd stay
We were hiding in the dark
I said that I was cold and you called me a liar
We chased our feelings in the park
Those were the better days
Pour myself a glass of indecision I've lost my safety net
I always thought there'd be some serenity when I got to the bottom but not quite yet
Did we get off on the right foot or the wrong foot; I'll take the blame
I knew that we'd never make it
you never saw me that way
We were hiding in the dark
I said that I was cold and you called me a liar
We chased our feelings in the park
You said that you were cold
and so I pulled you close
Those were the better days x2
You were my better days
You were x3 I said you were
You told me that you had to go
You told me that you needed some time to grow
You’re gone

Was gonna make you a mixtape
but I think you would've been offended;
had every song we heard in those days
I've still got the list somewhere
and the negatives of the frames we shared
before we went our separate ways
You said that I came off selfish when I said I’d like to feel how you’re feeling
I said that you came off selfish every time we had that little discussion
And so you’re falling asleep
In the passenger seat
To wake you up I turn on the radio
And I could never understand why you ever liked those bands
With lyrics about the things we never know
You said that I came off selfish when I said I’d like to feel how you’re feeling
I said that you came off selfish every time we had that little discussion
But I can’t help but be aroused
Whenever you come around
The taste of your sweat
Hasn’t left me yet
It’s in my nose it’s on my tongue it’s never left
It’s in my nose it’s in my tongue I taste regret
It’s never left
I taste regret
It’s never left
And the stage is set
I think it’s best if we take this to another room
Is that too soon? X4
Do you feel much better
When I’m not around?
Can I call you later
When my chips are down (like always?)
You said that I came off selfish when I said I’d like to feel how you’re feeling
I said that you came off selfish every time we had that little discussion
But I can’t help but be aroused
Whenever you come around
Would you come around x3

Cigarette

You’ve got something that everybody wants
I’ve got nothing but a cigarette and some dirty thoughts
And just between you and me; the truth won’t always set you free
Now this pilot’s almost done and where’s your laugh track gone?
And now they’re showing you the door - we’ve seen this episode before
Where do you go when you say you’re going home?
You know you should take things slow
Because everybody knows
You’ve got something that everybody wants
I’ve got nothing but a cigarette and some dirty thoughts
And just between you and me; the truth won’t always set you free
Watchin’ your whole life behind a screen
Don’t know who you are who can you be
Could you mean anything to me?
You don’t mean anything to me
Watchin’ your whole life behind a screen
Don’t know who you are who can you be
Could you mean anything to me?
You don’t mean anything to me
We see you walking all alone
We see you walking but we know that you’re not going home
(You’re not going)
Watch your life in rewind I wanna see in slow motion how it broke your heart
Always using your lifelines and now you’ve used them up we see you falling apart
Watch your life in rewind I wanna see in slow motion how it broke your heart
Always using your lifelines and now you’ve used them up we see you falling
You’re falling apart x4
You’ve got something that everybody wants
I’ve got nothing but a cigarette and some dirty thoughts
And just between you and me; the truth won’t always set you free
Won’t set you free x3
What do you see
When you see me?

Replay your fragmented memories
They make up practically everything
We’ll watch you dance upon your stage
Knowing soon enough you’ll surely change
Cuz you're always changing
All eyes on you don’t keep us waiting
Anticipating
Wait for you to change
Cuz you're always changing
All eyes on you don’t keep us waiting
Anticipating
Wait for you to change
Behold the change that comes from dancing for the moon
Is it what you always dreamed of?
Behold the change that comes from dancing for the moon
Is it what you always dreamed of?
You asked me how’d I guess I said I don’t know it’s just a story of regret and that’s just how it goes
But the story’s grown so old that we’ll never know who told
Cuz you're always changing
All eyes on you don’t keep us waiting
Anticipating
Wait for you to change
Cuz you're always changing
All eyes on you don’t keep us waiting
Anticipating
Wait for you to change
Behold the change that comes from dancing for the moon
Is it what you always dreamed of?
Behold the change that comes from dancing for the moon
Is it what you always dreamed of?
Maybe now you’ll understand your purpose
It’s waiting for you don’t you feel it?
Don’t look at her too long she gets nervous
It’s waiting for you x4

Self reflection
Misdirection
Who will lead?
Now you’ve gone and left Independence
Just to find yourself in misery
A journey lost to time
Betrayed by what’s outside
A taste of familiarity
So heed these words
They’re all for you
It’s taken everything
Just in case you lost your place
They’ll guide your way
Holding all the consequences
It’s not as easy as it seems
From dust you are you shall return
It’s getting harder to discern
From what is real and fantasy
So heed these words
They’re all for you
It’s taken everything
So heed these words
They’re all for you
It’s taken everything
You thought that you could make it
Guided by some light
You won’t survive the night
You thought that you could make it
What was it that you’ve found?
You’re in the darkness now
You’re with me x8
All your faith
And the worship
Look at all the good that did
Here at the end
Was it worth it?
Nothing easy ever is
Of course it comes to this
the birds have left an empty nest
And now
They’ll see just what you left
Your sought glory will eat the rest
So heed these words
They’re all for you
Consuming everything
So heed these words
They’re all for you
It’s taken everything

Don’t forget to remind me
I always forget what reminds me
Chlorine like morphine
Chlorine like morphine
Still smelling the chlorine from our bodies
Our childhood crushes have made it through the day
There with you now
Bathed in this cold dark house
The lights are off the tv’s on
Without a sound
Colored static paints your face perfectly
Surfaces - indifferences
Can you translate for me?
There with you now
Bathed in this cold dark house
The lights are off the tv’s on
Without a sound
You’re always hung up on the unknowns
You feel left out until you’re in the dark
It’s meant to end that’s just the way it goes
You lost the feeling from the start
What’s 15 years ago but a memory?
It’s kinda funny how it gets the best of me
You’re always laying there in the sensory
It’s kinda funny how it always gets the best
The best of me
It always gets the best of me x3
You know this song
But don’t you know me better?
Don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me better?
Don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me better? x3
Don’t you know me

Hey kid how are you doing
I see you sitting there
Hey kid what’re you thinkin’
Behind that thousand yard stare?
Have you been feeling alright lately
You don’t look well and everyone can tell
Do you think it’s just a phase
I can see it on your face that you don’t
And I think it’s creeping
You’ve been alone for awhile now won’t you tell us all about it?
We can’t hear you; scream and shout it out for us
You’ve been alone for awhile now won’t you tell us all about it?
We can’t hear you; scream and shout it
You’ve drifted through the waves
And we think you’ve made your case
Defended it well but what did you think would stop us
And we seemed to make our way
Deep inside your brain
We just wanna talk won’t you please indulge us
I guess that you’re thinking about what comes next
Come now be a sport about this you know
There’s nothing left here for you
You’ve been alone for awhile now
Won’t you tell us all about it?
We can’t hear you; scream and shout it out for us
You’ve been alone for awhile now
Won’t you tell us all about it?
We can’t hear you; scream and shout it
One of us x4
No one will listen the way that we listen
We’ve heard what you wanted and made our decision
No one will listen the way that we listen
We’re under your skin and we’ve made the decision you’ll lose
Babylon the things your heart desired have all escaped from you - every luxury and all your glory will be lost forever you will never get them back x4
You’ve been alone for awhile now
Won’t you tell us all about it?
We can’t hear you; scream and shout it out for us
You’ve been alone for awhile now
Won’t you tell us all about it?
We can’t hear you; scream and shout it
One of us x4

Big Sandwich

I've felt better lately
These old wood floors need sweeping
These plaster walls are cracking
These four kids are trespassing in my home
Just me, as it should be, I was alone
In my home - where I felt safe
Until these kids showed up they'll dig their own graves
I've torn the eyes out all the paintings
My hallways doors are ready too
I've seen orange white red green and purple lately
By the time I'm done; they'll all be blue
Won't you tell me exactly who you think I am
Am I just another ghost in a corridor
Won't you tell me exactly what's your escape plan
So I can close the doors you're not going home
I stopped taking my medications
I feel so alive that I want to die
This mask is everything I have been lately
It's the last face they'll see through those teenage eyes
Won't you tell me exactly who you think I am
Am I just another ghost in a corridor
Won't you tell me exactly what's your escape plan
I'm gonna kill all of those kids and their stupid dog
Scooby doobie do where are you? (big sandwich)
Scooby doobie do where are you? (I'm making big sandwich)
Scooby doobie do where are you? (I'm gonna eat a big sandwich)
Scooby doobie do where are you? (I'm looking at a big sandwich)
I can feel you
And I can smell you through these walls
I can almost taste you
Now I can see you down the hall
Won't you tell me exactly who you think I am
Am I just another ghost in a corridor
Why'd you have to go and meddle with my plans
Now everything is wrong I'm not going home
I'm not going home
This was my home, it's not my home
I would've made it if it wasn't for you
I would've made it if it wasn't for you
I would've made it if it wasn't for you and that damn canine

Let’s take this outside
We’ll try to make this alright
And I’ll just sit here waiting
You’ll tell me what you’re hating
Do you think it’s good for us
When we break it down before we build it up
You know it’s just so sad to fall back on the same lines
You’re a red flag on a caution sign
You always say you’ll leave and I say that’s fine
I don’t think that that plan sounds bad
Your eyes; the floor
You know I’m ready for more
Don’t ask me why I’m like this I don’t know anymore
I know it won’t end well but I don’t care
And I’m always waiting - I know you’ll be there hating
Something that I do and that’s not fair
You say that it’s just the little things
Like my bad habits or how you always wanted a diamond ring
We’re always back and forth with what we want from another
We’re back and forth yes no can I have another
I’m not quite sure what happy is but
All I know is this isn’t it
You’re dumb but I’ll come
To my sense when it’s done
I’m never there for your feelings; it’s the thrill of the hunt
But something tells me these things will fade with time
You’re so captivating - so many fights now lately
That I hate you now
The sheets still think we’re fine
And I can’t help if I wanna fuck at inappropriate times
And I can’t help if it seems like it’s every time we fight
And I try and I try with all my might just to keep these instincts off my mind
But I can’t help if I wanna fuck at inappropriate
Times
Could you give me just a little bit more of the same?
Then you turn to me and say that I’m insane
Well I know you are but what am I? x4
And I can’t help if I wanna fuck at inappropriate times
And I can’t help if it seems like it’s every time we fight
And I try and I try with all my might just to keep these instincts off my mind
But I can’t help if I wanna fuck
Do you wanna fuck
Tonight?

We have a friend and he used to play bass in a band
You probably know him but we're not going to tell you what his name is (no no no)
Dickie's shorts (short x4) a yellow t-shirt and it always smelled bad
But ain't it funny how everything can change?
A resolution, he put the suit on
He left the thrift store feeling like a million bucks
Got home excited it was time to suit up
Threw out the rest of his wardrobe never to be worn again
Dress shoes, bow tie and a fancy vest he stepped outside looking better than the rest
He grabbed his bass on the way out ready to be born again cuz he's a
Zoot suit bassist
and he wears a suit, and he's a bassist
It kinda looks like he's going to a wedding
or maybe he's off to cater something
all I know is that today he's looking pretty fresh
He's been practicing his bass all throughout the night, his fingers bleeding cuz you know that he's been slapping tight
He takes the stage grabs his bass and he's ready to be the best - and he's dressed to impress - cuz he's a
Zoot suit bassist
and he wears a suit, and he's a bassist x2
Zoot suit suit, a zoot suit bassist baby
Zoot suit suit, he's a bassist x2
You see him walking over to you
You see him looking right through you
And you know he’s looking pretty fly
Whatcha doing tonight x3 he’s who you’re doing tonight
Well you’re looking so high and he’s looking so fly and he’s gonna take you off to the moon (blast off)
It’s a beautiful night tonight
Thank you all for coming out and joining us in this celebration that we call life
Maestro strike the chord
It’s moments like these that we have to appreciate and even resonate with the man that chose a suit to call his own
He’s a zoot suit bassist baby
And he’s gonna treat you right out on this magical night
He’s a zoot suit bassist sugarbuns
And he’s gonna meet your parents and he’s gonna impress em
He’s a zoot suit bassist babycakes
And he’ll take you out to dinner and he’ll call you in morning
He’s a zoot suit bassist honey bunch
And he’ll tell you that he loves you and I really think he means it
He’s a zoot suit bassist x2
He’s a zoot suit bassist (take his hand - cmon take his hand)
He’s a zoot suit (it’s the hand that plays the)
Bass- bass- bass- bass-
Bassist
